More things happen nowa­ days and they happen faster than they used to. Matters cannot be put off, as they used to be, for the peo­ ple demand action, and the Judge and Commissioners find plenty of k'ork piling up, which they must dis­ pose of or be snowed under. The office of County Judge Is not “a flowery bed of eaese.” as many of the uninitiated may suppose. By virtue of his office, he is much In de­ mand, and has all kinds of people to deal with, and Is expected to be a ‘walking encyclopedia of knowledge’ the latter to be delivered off the reel at once, finally and officially, provid­ ed the other man is in a bit hurry, which is often the case. He has all kinds of cases to hear and consider, and many knotty points of law arise which require reference and dellbor­ ation. He is the moral custodian of the county, and delinquent boys and girls get many a kindly lecture from him for their own good and wel­ fare with helpful suggestion and judgment must be used in all cases, according to the temperament of the delinquent. Speaking of his duties as an official the other day, the Judge remarked that: “If he were not bald-headed, there would be a noticeable increase of gray hairs on his head, since he assumed the du­ ties ar his office.” Judge Homer Mason, the present County Judge, succeeded Judge A. M. Hafe and was formerly a County Judge, *■■■*— *■ hence —i his duties are not new to him. He is one of the leading dairymen of this section, and a breeder of fine Jersey cattle, He al- so knows tbe farming game, and is well posted on the needs of the county. H. V. Alley, one of the two Com­ missioners, was elected at th; Iasi general election, and halls from the North Fork of the Nehalem, and ir a farmer, and seems to be fitting in­ to his duties in a satisfactory man­ ner. The other Commissioner is H. M. Farmer of Cloverdale, who is true to name, as he also is a farmer and dairyman. He has had the advantage of one term’s experience and makes up the competent trio that have the county’s welfare at heart and inter est in hand. The court Is not initiating much new work this season, but is bending its energies to the completion of a lot of unfinished work, In which the (Concluded on page eight) Routine Matters Are Discussed And BODY FLOATS FROM ROCKAWAY Some Laid Aside TO SALTAIR BEFORE BEING SECURED Council met last Monday night.

Several of the local plumbers were Positions present to discuss the matter of the license fee for journeyman plumb­ ers. This matter was also continued to the next meeting, after some dis­ cussion.

Williams was going cast on 4th and his car was skidded around and wound up against a .res on the eidewala. knocking the fender off. Mr. Will­ lams received two broken ribs in the collision, and will be laid up 1er a time. THE COW TESTING PICNIC Much interest is developing, said Agent Pine yesterday, in the Cow Testing Picnic which will occur on August 11 at the farm of John Shields, on Long Prairie, The pub- lie is cordially invted to be present and free ice cream will be served. N. C. Jamison and Prof. Coleman will be present and each will give a talk. A tug of war will be pulled off between the owners of the differ­ ent breeds, which promises to be an interesting and mirthful event. Ser eral Of the cowmen are practicing up for the tussle, and are eating heartily, so as to put on as much weight as possible, as weight will be a factor in the contest. ODD FELLOWS TO PICNIC The Odd Fellows and Rebekah lodges of Tillamook will hold a pic­ nic at Netarts next Sunday. County Odd Fellows and Rebekahs are Invit­ ed by the city lodges to join with them in the picnic. Bring your bas­ kets and join them in a community dinner. Seaside will celebrate the dedi­ cation of that city’s >200,000 sea­ wall on August 6th, and 7th with a big time. Several of Tillamook’s c>t- izens will be there to help celebrate. Miss Leah Leaska, (Leah Cohen) a sister of Mr. Labowitch, will sing "My Own United States,’’ Mrs. Leas ka is well known in Tillamook. Mrs. M. Munkers of Firest Grove is visiting at the home of Mrs. C. Gupton, her daughter, in this city. John Moulton, wife and daughte*'! of Weiser, Idaho, were in the city Wednesday, r .lea's of Sam Moulton and family. Iha men are cousins and the Weiser Moultons have been camp Ing at tbe beacl:>-s for some »Irne past. Home of Wm- Elliott Burns DEATH THOUGHT DUE 10 HEART TROUBLE Body Was Taken To Portland For Burial People at the Rockaway and Salt­ air beaches were shocked Wednes­ day forenoon by the sudden death of Mrs. Whiteside, wife of a member of the Portland police, whose body was tossed about by the surf, where she went in bathing at Rockaway, until taken from the sea at a point opposite Saltair. The form of the unfortunate wo­ man was first noticed by other bath­ ers at Rockaway, rising and falling upon the waves, apparently lifeless, but as she was known to be a strung swimmer, many thought she was all right, until her protracted stay be­ gan to alarm. In the meantime, the body floated up near Saltair, when it was secured and taken ashore. Al tjinugh seemingly lifeless. Dr. Hawk and the Life Guards worked for two hours to restore life, but without avail. Mrs. Whiteside’s < déafh oc- curred about 11:30 a. m. It is believed that her death was due to a Budden attack of heart trou ble, or that she suffered a stroke of paralysis while swimming. Her husband, who is Captain of the Portland Police force had taken the morning train for home, and he was notified by wire of the sad oc- currence. The distressing affair cast a pall of gloom over the beaches, as the news was passed along. The tide was coming in at the time, which made the recovery of the body pos­ sible. Deceased was about forty years af age, and was prominent In Portland society circles. The remains of Mrs. Whltesidei were brought to the Henkle under­ taking parlors Tuesday, prepared for burial, and sent to Portland Thurs­ day morning where Interment will be had. The family residence Is 03 Jessup street, Portland. The house of Wm. Elliott on the north bank of the Kllchis river, was totally destroyed by fire last. Satur­ day. The fire was discovered while the family was at dinner and had gained such headway, aided by the strong wind, that is was lmpossiole to save any of the contents. Miss Jennie Flndleson, a niece of the El­ liotts, even lost her hat. The ftr-3 started from the roof and its exact origin is not known—probably from a defective flue. Only »500 insur­ ance was carried on tbe house. 1 4 F. D. Small of the Tillamook Ice & Cold Storage Co., returned Tues­ day from a business trip to Seattle Wash. Mr. Small found the salmon market pretty well Bhot to pieces on the Sound, with a wonderful run of Chinooks and Silversides, but the Sockeye run is smaller this year than for several years past. Most of the fish are being shipped east In refrig­ erator cars, but there is a poor eale for the smaller fish. Mr. Small states that brlghts are selling at 6c per pound, and eilver- sides for 15c per fish at Seattle. No. 1 Chinooks bring 6c per pound dress­ ed. Mr. Small has established a price of 4c per pound for Chinooks deliv­ ered at his plant. He also will oper­ ate his canning plant on Evergreen blackberries as usual, beginning about the first of September, when The plans for the big Rockaway the berries should begin to ripen.
