COAL IS FOUND
NEAR'ORETOWN
|
S. J. Etzwiler who lives about a
mile from Oretown, was in the city
Wednesday and showed the Head-
light some speciments of coal which
he lately uncovered on his 160 acre
farm. The coal was taken from a
depth of about four feet, and the
width of the vein has not yet been
determined, but measures 30 inches
in depth. The coal has been Pro
nounced lignite by those who seem
to know, and burns quite well in a
blacksmith forge, and leaves no
clinkers, the residue being a fine
ash. Mr. Etzwiler is personally not
financially able to develop the mine
but would not be adverse to making
arrangements with the right kind Of
persons having the requisite means.
He will be glad to show his prospect
to anyone desiring to see it.

manager of the Grand theatre at
Sheiidan got beyond his depth while
in bathing at .Neskowin beach, and
was with difficulty rescued by par
ties who succeeded in getting a rope
to him which he grasped. A strong
undercurrent prevented his son from
going out to him when the father
called for help. By hangmg to the

PRESENT SHERIFF HAS HEID SEVERAL RIM OFFICES SINCE COMING HERE
Sheriff Must Be Responsible For Lar ge Sums of Money Each Year.
Under 120,000 Bonds.
One of the most important offices
in the county is that of sheriff. If
only he were the custodian of the
law and its enforcement, he might
escape many other onerous duties,
but to his duties as enforcer of the
law, he is, by virtu*of his office, tax
collector for the county, which of
itself is a very important work. And
added to the collection of the coun
ty’s revenue, he is also warrant offic
er, and serves all the writs and pro
cesses connected with the Circuit
Court.
As tax collector, the Sheriff is un
der *10,000 bonds, and a like bond
is given as Sheriff, making a total of
*20,000.
Sheriff John Aschim has been a
resident of Tillamook county for 20
years past, and attended the common
schools of the county and later the
high school. His first entry into pub
lie life was when he became deputy
sheriff under former sheriff Cren-
shaw,, where he served for three
years. I Later
’ * he filled
-- - the ____
same p>
sition under former Sheriff Camp
bell for the same period and last
year he was elected to the position
which he now holds. It will thus be
seen that our present sheriff came
into office qualified with an all-
around experience. In all, he served
six years as deputy.
Since his induction into office,
Sheriff Aschim has arrested and seen
the conviction of about 19 bootleg
gers, and has had much success in
catching this class of offenders. Dur
ing all his service as deputy aad
Sheriff he has never asked a dut/
that he was not willing to perform
himself.
Judging by his record thus far,
Sheriff Aschim bids fair to make one
of the very beBt officials this county
has ever had. While modest about
himself, the Sheriff expressed him
self as being proud of the offlee ftfM
which includes the following per
sons:
E. W. Perkins, motor cycle officer,
L. B. Lucas and E. W. Holden, office
deputies; Mrs. Helen Ebinger, to
whose hands falls much of the ac
counting, and Miss Helen Norburg,
stenographer. These deputies are
competent and accommodating, and
hence are popular with the public.
The business of the office, states
Sheriff Aschim is Increasing by leaps
and bounds, and there Is no consta
ble, the duties of that office natural
ly fall upon the Sheriff and his dep
uties.
T. E. Epplett, is the competent
jailor and janitor, and keeps the
Court House and the grounds in
good condition. He is also Circuit
Court Bailiff.

WATSON SAYS NO PLACE
LIKE OLD TILLAMOOK
The Watson family, composed of
Mr. and Mrs. Watson and the child
ren Jimmy, Roletta and Virginia, re
turned home last Saturday night
from a 4500 mile automobile touring
.trip, covering a period of six weeks
and two daysj .The party went as
tai east as Denver, Colorado, thence
back home. Mr. Watson has covered
most of the trip in a series of inter
esting articles in the Headlight, so
that repetition would not be newt
Suffice it to say that the entire trip
was without accident or mishap of
any kind, and was educational to all

whole party came home sunburned,

beats anything Been on the trip, as

heart about 10 o’clock Monday morn
ing last, in the milk house of his
brother-in-law, Mr. Carl Kummerle

at the time of the act. and was dis
covered by Mr. Klmmerle, upon the
latter's return from the cheese iac-
tiry. His sister, Mrs. Kummerle.

The coroner’s jury brought in the
following verdict: "We, the jury
called to inquire into the death of

to his death from a gunshot wound
Inflicted by his own hand, on this

OFFICIALS GRAB
2 MEN AND STILL
Sheriff Aschim and Deputy E. W.
Perkins unearthed and confiscated
one of the most elaborate whiskey
stills ever seen in this part of the
country, this week, and on Wednes
day morning at about 1:30 o'clock
arrested Tom Connaughton and Rob
ert Malcom, the latter of Wheeicr,
Oregon.
For some time past, Sheriff Asch-
im has suspected the presence of a
still in the neighborhood at Mohler,
and last Monday found a shack on a
creek about a mile above that town
in a creek canyon that looked prom
ising for results. For one day and 2
nights the officers watched in the vi
cinity. and early Wednesday morn
ing, they saw Connaughton and Mai
com coming up the trail, the former
carrying some parts of the still. 'Mie
men were covered by the guns of the
officers, and surrendered without
trouble. In the shack was found
enough corn mash for about 20 gal
lons of whiskey and a 5 gallon por
tion ready for stilling that night.
That evidently being Connaughton’s
Intention.
The still was very cleverly hid
den, and there was no trail to it.
Connaughton is an Irishman, and ex
pressed considerable interest in at
tempting to find out how he had
been trapped, but got no informa
tion. The men were brought to Till
amook, the party arrrivlng al about
6 o'clock Wednesday morning and
with them was conveyed the still
and other tangible evidence to con
vict.
There seemed to be some doubt in
Sheriff Aschim's mind about the
complicity of Malcom in the matter
at the time of his arrest, and since

The Jersey association,
number of fifty members,
meeting Thursday at the Louie Web
ber farm. One of the main topics
at the meeting was the forthcoming
county fair, and the club voted unan
imously to get behind the fair and
boost to make it a big success. A
committee was appointed to prepare
the Jersey booth at the fair and
from the amount of enthusiasm ex
pressed, the exhibits will surpass
anything of the nature in the pa.it.
Morrison Mills gave a snappy,
ringing talk in favor of fair sup
port, that enthused his hearers with
renewed zeal.
M. S. Shrock followed with an in
teresting talk on the breed, and the
dairy industries of Oregon.
Sid Anderson, Mrs. Rose Crawford
and Albert Krake were appointed
to prepare the Jersey booth for the
fair. Mr. Anderson, chairman of the
photograph
committee, requested
members to bring photos of heads of
herds as the object is to have a lino
display of Oregon Jerseys photos
from all parts of the state and
from Tillamook county In particular
Mr. Webber will bring in at least
6 head of pure bred Jerseys to the
fair.
The club voted its appreciation of
the business men and bankers of
Tillamook for their moral and finan
cial assistance on the occasion of the
Jersey Jubilee held at this place in
June last.
One of the noteworthy features of
the Jersey clan gathering was the
splendid dinner provided for the oc
casion by the ladies of the club.
The nett meeting will be held on
the 22nd of September at Sandlake.
Those who attended state that the
meeting was the best ever held by
the club, which is growing rapidly
in membership and enthusiasm.

Malcom
states that Connaughton had been
drinking rather deeply oZ bis own
brew, and went so far as to tell hila
of the location of the still, and the
latter’s curiosity led him to accom
pany the former ‘ Just to see a still
lu operation.”
Like old dog Tray, Malcolm awoke
from his curiosity dream to find him
self in the Tillamook county bastite,
suspected of being an accomplice of
his crony, Connaughton. Hereafter
doubtless he will stifle his curiosity,
in the matter of illicit stills at leas'.
Connaughton. it is believed by the
Sheriff, found a market for a portion
of his “skookum” water in Astoria
The still was made of copper and
would have done credit to the moon
shine districts of the south, where
the finest of moonshine stilling is
said to be done.
Sheriff Aschim and deputy Pe<
kins should be credited with much
skill In the manner in which they
conducted the raid; lying out In the
mountains for a part of two nights,
watching for their quarry, is quite
a tax on one’s nerves, to say nothing
of the loss of sleep.
Connaughton was arraigned be-
fore Justice Stanley Wednesday af-
ternoon and pleaded quilty to the
charge of unlawfully conducting a
■till. He was fined *100 and coats,
and at last accounts was still in jail.
The evidence against Malcom
not considered strong enough to

leased.
