WORK— SUMMER
WILL FIND HIGHWAYS GOOD.
The good weather during the past
few weeks has stimulated the road
building of the county to such an
extent that practically all of the
main highways about the county are
in quite a passable shape.
The county has just contracted
for $55.000 worth of road work
from the Clatsop county line to
Mohler. This work is now under
way and about one hundred men
are employed on the job. This work
consists of clearing, grading and
rocking, The steam shovel has
most of its work completed and
rocking will start next week. . This
stretch of road is 4.7 miles long.
The Deach road from Rockaway
to Brighton is in such a shape that
the steam shovel is within a mile
and a half from Brighton while the
clearing gang is aocnt three quar­
ters of a mile from that place. The
location of the road between Jetty
creek and Brighton has not yet been
decided upon as there is a co-op­
erative deal on between the South­
ern Pacific railroad and the county.
The attempt is to be made to run
the county road along the same
grade as the railroad and eliminate
any track crossings.
The Hadden rock crusher is pro­
ducing rock for the Netarts market
load which is being shipped to this
city by rail. The state highway
commission has announced its in­
tention to call for bids on macada­
mizing the Rockaway road for three
miles. The Miami road is receiving
attention in the way of brush clear­
ing and the elimination of bad
curves. All the work on the north
end of the county is under the su­
pervision of W. F. Cain.
A new bridge has been cnnstruc-
ted above the Thomas place on the
Rllchls river so the rive- is access­
able for several miles above that

CIRCUS COMES AND GOES
TOWN IS QUIET ONCE MORE
The Strong Arm gang of the local
post of the American Legion took
the city by storm last week and add­
ed about twenty five more members
to the roster.
This procedure was taken to re­
trieve some of the delinquent mem­
bership of that organization and
consisted of determined Legionaires
patroling the streets and picking up
every prospect and releiving him of
the necessary change to pay his
dues. The plan worked out success-
fully from all reports.
It is planned to send delegates to
the national convention i at New Or-
leans this summer and , also to the
state convention at The
’
Dalles,
Many more interesting things are
promised by the officials of the lo-
cal post.
The next meeting of the ex-ser-
vice men will be held at their quar­
ters in the W. O. W. hall, June 23d.
To this meeting has been invited aU
znen who desire to join the future
national guard organization and all
men who have signed the petition
for the company.

There are but a few days left in
which to send in your solution to the
Beehive puzzle, but there is plenty
of time if you but get busy.
The main idea is to get into the
game. The lists are coming in right
along but yours has not yet arrived.
What we want is to make this "bee”
contest a "hummer”. I-et's have a
"swarm”, so that there will be some
glory in being the "queen (or king)
bee.’’
As a matter of fact, don’t you owe
it to your home paper, a little boost
likg this, aside from any puzzle con­
test? Isn’t the Headlight plugging
every week for the best interests of
the home community? Did you ever,
aside from paying your subscription
regularly, go out of your way to give
your home paper a little boost? May­
be you never thought of such a
thing. We’re not complaining. The
people of Tillamook county have
treated us well. What we are try­
ing to get at Is this, that our big
puzzle contest is on and we want to
make it a big success. Even if you
should not be a winner, • yov are
really pot a loser.
But why talk of losing? you stand
just as good show of winning as
somebody else.
We have it’ from the artist who
made the beehive picture puzzle that
the distinguishing thing about this
puzzle is that it is made up of simple
everyday things, and not loaded
down with a lot of unheard of words
or scientific and technical terms that
only highly educated persons would
know.
Of the many answers already re­
ceived we find some of which we
think that it ¡s too bad that their
compilers have not qualified for big­
ger prizes. They ought to do so sure
by next Tuesday night.
No one in this office or connected
wiith it has seen*the master list. It
is yet in safe keeping with the a»t-
ist who drew the Beehive puzzle for
the Headlight. Therefore, there can
be no “leaking” of Information and
no one has the least Information and
no one has the least advantage over
anybody else.
The appointment of three dlsin-
terestad local people as judges for
the contest assures everyone an ab-
solutely square deal.
