t» Price $2.00 a year Tillamook, Oregon, Mav io. 1022 ■ TO START SOON ON ROAD WAY NOW ENDED WITH VIC- TOr.Y—13 MILES IN SOUTH E.Tj FINISHED THIS YEAR. Du. n at Newport, Lincoln coun- a fewty, Netaoin etaoin etaoinnnn ty, .1 lawyer named B F. Jones, a f-v yars'ego conceived the idea of the Roosevelt highway, and began to • ■ ite it People laughed at it “Junes’ folly'', and agreed that it v ild never be—just one of "Jones’ tlit- inis”. But the plucky little law­ yer enthused others, and at the last s-ssion of the legislature the State "I Or^'jon oppropi lated $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. BASE BALL OPENS KU KUX KLAN WITH MUCH PEP LECTURE HELD TUESDAY NIGHT 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 ment dredge down near Rudder 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.

ORDER. 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. Speaking to a packed house, John A. Jeffery, deputy grand lecturer of the Ku Klux Klan, Tuesday night held his audience to close attention as he explained the aims and pur­ poses of the order and denounced the attempts of enemies to bring the Klan into discredit. Charles Hall, state senator from Marshfield, who has recently gained strong support in his candidacy for Governor. It now appears that honors on the republican ticket have narrowed down to Hall and Olcott. It is expected that Senator Speaker Jeffery stated that the Hall will receive a heavy vote from vital principle of the Ku Klux Klan the coast cuontles on account of his was to keep separate church and interest in western Oregon. state. It was denied that the Klan had attempted to enforce the law but that the organization intended to aid law inforcement officials main tain law and order. It was stated that the Ku Klux Klan took as its ideal the life of Jesus Christ and that all its proceedure was along Christian lines. Stating that the Klan stood first It is not often that an automobile turns over three times, falls down last and all the time for the public a 60 foot grade, with >-it injuring school system, Mr. Jeffery denied the occupants or doing terlous that the organization attempted to damage to the machin.r. but such foster religious intolerenco and was the experience ,>* Mr. and Mrs. breed religious predjudice as long as Ed.

The American Legion and the Auxiliary held a social Friday night at the W. O. W. hall followed by a banquet. Several members made brief talks and Dr. J, E, Shearer spoke in favor of the Salvation Army drive. He covered two phases of the Army’s activities, their service in every day life in rescuing unfortunate men and women from the gutter, and their splendid work during the war. He urged the people to show their ap­ preciation and gratitude during the drive, which occurs here on the 17, 19 and 20th of this month. Music was furnished by the Wilk­ ens orchestra and dancing followed the banquet. "The state", said Mr. Nunn.

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.
