the Roosevelt highway, and began to

People laughed at it
“Junes’ folly'', and agreed that it

$2,500,000
tu match a like amount to be pro
vided by the government for the
building of the highway. To make
a long story short, the government
saw the stragetic importance of the
road in case of war, and congress
came through with a 50-50 propo
sition. Now comes the sequel.
On Monday last Herbert Nunn,
highway engineer and J. N. Clark,
division engineer, met’ with the
county court at the court house in
this city and invited the city news
reporters to attend, when Mr. Nunn
gave out the best news that Tilla
mook county ever heard along the
line of county and coast improve
ment. He began by the statement
that the Roosevelt highway through
Lincoln county was all provided for,
and that thirteen miles between He
bo and Neskowin would be graded
and hard surfaced this year at a
cost of $120,000. $90,000 of which
would be paid by the state and the
balance by the county.
Another
link was that from Neskowin to the
Lincoln county line, a distance of
seven and one-half miles, whicTT
will be let by the state commission
on the 31st of the present month
It was stated that the distance of
thirty miles between Hebo and Dev
ils Lake, Lincoln county, had been
agreed upon at a cost of $#40,000.
to be completed in two years. Th*
strip from Neskowin to the county
line will be completed by the gov
ernment, and without county aid.
The county will be released from
all maintenance on this road.
Another
important
announce
ment by the state engineer Was that
the route via Garibaldi and Brlgh
ton to Wheeler had been designated
a« a part of the Roosevelt highway
and that the state would go In with
the county on a 50-50 basis to
build same. This disposes of the
Miami route as a highway under the
Roosevelt highway system.

COUNCIL PLANS POST OEFICE
TO SAVE EXPENSE
Last Monday night the city coun
cil occupied most of the time of the
session in considering the report of
the committee on streets, with refer
ence to the building of additional
concrete walks. It was decided
later to notify prospective builders
some time in advance of the time set
for the completion of the work, and
.wjhen the council fully decides just
who will be affected by the new ex
tensions. The idea is to give build
ers a chance to save the expense of
advertising and other added costs,
by building their own walks and ar
ranging with contractors direct,
without the city creating a sidewall
district in the sections where im
provement is indicated by the street
committee. Notices will therefore
be sent to property owners to be
effected, and it is believed that a
handsome percentage can be saved
by property owners who may decide
to build they- own walks. The
matter will be settled definitely at
the next meeting as to the places
where concrete walks are to go in.
Some routine business was trans
acted, and the council adjourned.
FINDS BONE HARPOON HEAD
ON SECTION OF BAY BEACH
While working on the govern

Rock on the bay last week. Roy
Trout unearthed an ole1 Indian
bone harpoon head three inches long
which apparently was many moons
old. It doubtless was attached to a
shaft and used to spear salmon in
the days when the Indians were
short of iron and other white man's
material for the purpose.

Wilson Carl and Lewis Alexander
of Garibaldi are in the county jail
in this city, and will face a charge
before the United States grand jury
at Portland of robbing the Gari
baldi post office last Monday night
at about 9:30 o’clock. It is under-
tood that both of the young men
confessed the crime to John Aschim
who was notified of the robbery al
about 10 o’clock Tuesd.Sy night by
.Mrs. D. C. Ellis the postmistress,
who returned after the robbery ahd
found that the office had been en
tered and the nToney drawers pried
open, and $53.95 taken. In less than
an hour and a half. Sheriff Aschim
had both men in custody, and Alex
ander confesed that Carl committed
the robbery while he stood outside
and watched. After the robbery,
the men divided up the money, Cail
taking 60 per cent, and Alexander
the balance. Carl had $32.25 on
him when arrested, and Alexander’s
share of the loot w-as buried in the
woods near ’own, and later dug up
by himself under the eyes of the
sheriff, and recovered. After Alex
ander’s confession, Carl wtis finally
induced to come through, corrobor
ating Alexander’s statement as to
complicity.
The sheriff wired to
the inspector at Spokane, and it is
expected that a deputy U. S. mar
shall will soon be here to take the
men to Portland, pending indict
ment and trial.
Both boys are residents of Gari
baldi, and Alexander has relatives
in the valley who are very respect
able people. Not much is known
about Carl’s antecedents.

The initial game of the Tillamook
base ball association opened last
'■'unday in this county, with much
enthusiasm on the part of the de
vntees of the game. The day was
ideal, and Tillamook took on the Ne
halem club. The Tillamook club
showed a good lineup, and Donovan
and Fortier, the Tillamook battery,
showed fine form, and the club de
feated its opponents by a score of
21 to 5. There was a big crowd,
and many’ people came down from
Nehalem to witness their home club
perform. Next Sunday Tillamook
will play Wheeler at the home
grounds.
At Beaver, the home team beat
Garibaldi by a score of 9 to 8. in a
hotly contested game, in which
honors were about even.
At Wheeler the Brighton club
went down to defeat by a score of 17
to 9, before the home club.
A good game is looked for at this
place Sunday, as the Wheeler club
is showing good form, and Tilla
mook will have to extend itself if It
wins from the husky bunch front the
sawmill town, but there are those
who figure that Tillamook will de
liver the goods.

of the veterinary and d
nients concerning furture invest tui
tions. and as a result of Prof. Millers
investigation here in conjunction
with Dr. Shaw, it was decided to
carry on some sort of an invettga-
tional work with the disease as it
has manifested in this county.
The investigation will be an ef
fort to determine whether or ’ not
other factors beside the germ, enter
into the cause. The soils of this
I county have been analyzed, and
although qo definite plans have as
yet been worked out, it is contemp
lated that a chemical analysis of the
grasses during different periods of
the year, will be the first procedure.
It is also possible that efforts will
be made to determine the vlrulency
of the germ for comparison with
the germ virility as found in other
parts of the state.
It is contemplated by the Station
that the work for the control of this
disease will be conducted at the
branch station at Hermiston, Uma
tilla county. This control work
should not Interfere with any in
vestigational work that is to be car
ried out in this county. Just when
this work will be started is not de
finitely known, but possibly this
summer.
"Positive results may not be ob
tained frsm such Investigational
work, but negative results, and di
rect attention of the Experiment
Station, will be worth something to
the county,” concluded Dr. 8haw.
