C. At Portland he met the California dele gation, and was present at a ban quet given them by the Portland firemen. He then proceeded to Vic toria with the California and Ore gon delegation. Chief Coats is pres ident of the Oregon fire fighters as sociation, and has high standing as a fire fighter in the Northwest, and to his enthusiasm and knowledge much of the efficiency of the Tilla mook department Is due, not over looking the excellent corps of trained fire fighters who have charge of the work here. Mr. Coates does not re ceive one cent for his official work as chief, and follows the work out of pure interest in the protection of property. CHANGE IN LAW IS NOT LIKED The change In the game law, which went into operation Feb. 21;l, 1921, deprived the counties of the old 5 per cent commission on all licenses, and placed the agency for license in the hands of the deputy game wardens, and the tounty clerk is now under no obligation to handle licenses, and does so solely to aocommodate ap- pilcants. Prior to the passage of i the lust game and fish law. the county clerk had deputies all over the county who Issued licenses un der his authority, aMe.nuch bet- P’-ople were used to applying di ter satisfaction was given, as the lect to the county clerk and his deputes. Not only are the people generally dissatisfied with the creation of two commissions, where formerly there was but one , but they resent the raise in price from >1.50 o >3.00 each for hunt ttV'.’ End fishing licenses It was claimed that the additional * li cense fees were to start new fish fnat< heries. but we hear of no move to create any new ojtes any v here in the state. A better so lution of he case is that the com mission wants to put more high salaried men op the .payroll, and I n make the people pay for it. About One And One Half Miles Yet To Be Completed --------- ’< iW FERRIS .OF THE AIDER VALE CREAMERY BRINGS HOME FIRST Work is being prosecuted on the Tillamook-Bayocean auto road. About one and a half miles still remain to be completed, aqd entails the blasting of much rock, the re moval of large trees and other heavy work. The force of eight men who are camped at the old ship yard, arc finishing up cm the point at the ship yard, and have begun work on the further point west of the ship yard. The big digger is used to clear away the rubbish along the line, and automobiles can now ’¿et nearly to the shipyard. Owing to the wet weather, not much more ac- tual construction may be expected, but much work may be done this winter in clearing away trees and blasting out jutting points on the line of survey. When completed, this will be one of the most attrac tive roads leading out of Tillamook, connecting as it will with Bayocean iesort and the sea, and circling the bay shore. It should be a very pop ular road with the summer people, in that it gives Tillamook the short est route to the seashore and beach. MYSTERY OF DEPOT ENTRY CLEARED BY CONFESSION On the evening of August 31st last some one entered the S. P. depot at Garibaldi, and pulled open a drawer and otherwise scattered things around. The doors were not opened however, and though there was con siderable investigation by the Com pany’s detectives and by the Sheriff at the time, the matter passed on as one of the mysteries of the time. In addition to entering the depot build ing, a large truck which stood on the platform was thrown down an embankment. Nothing was remov- edfrom in side the building. Recently, a young man by name of Ullngswiorth was arrested by the authorities charged with having moonshine in his possession, and placed in Jail. The boy was susplc- ioned at the time of being the one who entered the depot at Garibaldi, but a special agent of the company was unable to get an admission from Illlngsworth. Since the latter’s con finement in jail on the bootlegging sentence however, Sheriff Aschim be came more and more convinced that Illlngsworth was the man wanted on the S. P. charge, and early this week the sheriff closely questioned Illings- worth, who finally confessed that he removed the grate from a window is stored, and entered the office from below. The boy who Is in his teens stated that he was drunk while the act was committed, and that hff did not take anything from the building. PRIZE FROM OREGON FAIR.
