The notice reads as follows in part ‘‘Any and all persons whomsoever using any sink boat, sink box, sneak boat, row boat, sail boat, scow, raft, or any boat propelled by mechani cal power on Netarts bay in Tilla mook county, state of Oregon, for the purpose of taking, disturbing, harrying, shooting at, or killing any of 'the wild waterfowl theneon on and after the date of this order, will be prosecuted as by statute provid ed.” Netarts bay is a well known re sort for all kinds of waterfowl and especially geese, ducks, snipe, etc., and hunters have been in the habit of getting the limit over there by use of boats, which sport will now cease, according to the terms of the proclamation. Tillamook bay, Nehalem bay and other bodies of wa ter In the county will a* ill be avail able for the purpose of hunting within the prescribed seasons. The city council met last Monday ^nd passed a new jitney ordinance prac ically like the former one. The license fee will be the same as that of the old qhe, which the last one superseded. Next Monday night a n«w ordin ance will come up for final passage which is designed to licence stage companies, or ag. least, regulating lines operating on schedule time. Formerly these companies were reg ulated under the jitney ordinance. At the next meeting of t(he city council, the budget will be formally adopted under the provisions of the new budget law. An ordinance licensing peddlers, and requiring a per diem fee of |5 from solicitors of all kinds, who may be ongaged in selling fruit, vegetables, or in fact, anything not raised or produced in this county, was passed to a second reading. The ordinance is largely aimed at fruit peddlers from other counties who sell their fruit herte. It fs under stood that some opposition develop ed to the ordinagice at the meeting. It will come up at the next meeting for adoption or rejection. PIONEER LOGANBERRY MAN TELLS OF POSSIBILITIES nine o'clock, boats were busy ng out families and stock from Fred C.

Last week, Miss Beneta Stroud of Portland, an agent of the state Tu berculosis association, inspected up wards of 500 students In the public schools of this city for symptoms of tuberculosis and other ailment« such as diseased tonsils, eyes And adenoids. In some cases she report ed her findings to parents of child ren, ajid suggested that they see a physician concerning bias children’s health. Bud teeth also affect the health of children. Miss Stroud ex pects to qttuifn here for similar work sometime next year, possibly in June. The society to which she reports, is doing good work in caring for tu bercular people, and seeks to prevent the spread of the dread disease, as far as it may be possible and is state wide in 'Its operations. LIVED IN TILLAMOOK WHEN IT ONLY HAD FIVE HOUSES At the court house this week are H. F. Turner of Portland and J. J. Collins of Corvallis, who, as d«puty colleo ors of United States revenue are verifying the returns on Incom« tax, made during the past year. Mr. Turner once resided In Tilla mook county for the period of one year during his boyhood. His par ents and the family came over the old Trask river road to Tillamook county In the fall of 1878—43 years ago, azid settled on a ranch about 1 mile east of town. Tillamook at that tlmv contained a total of five houses and two stores. One was operated by Geo. Cohn, the other by a man named Hutchinson, i» both located somewhere on < ths banks of Hoquarton slough, Prac- tically all of the supplies for the then village, came by water In a lit tle freighting schooner from Astoria An uncl« of Mr. Turner, was Dr. H. V V. Johnson, who practiced medicine In the sparsely settled Till amook country for some time. Mr. Turner, who com«s to the Till amook beaches every summer, states that he has sev«ral times tried to figure out the location of the houses of the Tillamook as he first saw it, but without success. He knew the Stillwells, Goodspeeds and others, including the Trasks. When his family came over from Yamhill,, lire re was a toll-road at the forks of the Trask river but the road was not worth the toll paid. Mr. Turner has had his fling at the newspaper game, atid assisted to found th« Telephone Register at McMinnville in 1885. On Tuesday af'ernoon, Nov. 22. at the M.

The new budget law passed at the lust session of tilie Oi«gon legislature is puzzling officials in most of the counties of the state, and I should have made provision for an i inter preter, owing to its complex nature and wording, und seemingly useless demands. In making up the budget for ths coi|nty, th« uew law makes It mand atory on the part of the County Court to prepare a tabulated state ment' of the county expenditures in detail for three years previous, and also for the first six months of the year preceedlng the year for which the budget is to affect, As the ex penditures have already been made for these years, excepting the coin ing one, .<ud are a matter of record in the county books. It will be seen that the County Clerk and the court will have considerable work to go over which has already been done, but such la the law, and it, must bn observed. Max Crandall, public accountant of Hillsboro, is (now here assisting the court to prepare a budget for 1922, in consonance «i»tJi uhe above law, and Columbia county officiate are wiring him to hurry up and get over there to help them out of the name labyrinth of technical verbiage und observance contained In the new law, which evidently was the work of u genius for legal entanglement and microscopic details. At any rute, tne new law is causing a whole lot of wrinkled brows, and in some cases, it may be Interred, is produc tive of words that would noti look well in print. MAN NAMED BARBER DROWNED IN SOUTH FORK NEHALEM News was received hefle M >nday of tho accidental drowning of a saw flier named Barber, whoso homo was .n Pori land. In tht u. rtn f ik of the Nehalem river, it seems that com* of the workmen were trying to throw a rope across the stream with out success, when Barber waited out rope tn hand, and after several fu tile attempts let loose of '.he rope and began to swim. When nearly across, he shouted for help, tnd then sank. At last accounts the body had not been recovered. No in- quest will be held, it Is said.
