It seems ill many would-be voters turned I it the polls under the impression and I ;.: they were registered t...^ I and that they were not. This («dition caused no end of argu- sent on the part of the election boards and now Mr. Brimhall has ! aidertaken to round up the elusive | jttle voter and hand out some in- ructions. Mr. Brimhall's statement to the noting pubile is as follows: "AU of those persons In the county who are not properly regis tered should see that this is done while the registeration books are tow in the hands of the registers inconvenient places in the county, [wish especially to call the atten tion of all those voters in the coun ty who received a notice from this I office stating that their regist ra lion card which had been sent in ly the election board, was irregular and could not be placed in the files of the office, and the same notice I requested them to call at this office i ud re-register. [ "1 find, upon examination, that | only a very small per cent of those i who were so notified, have coni plied with the request. “Now, that the registration books are placed in convenient places in the county, as is evidenced by a no- lice published in all the county pa- pers, there Is but little excuse for «very voter in Tillamook county not being registered before Oct. 7, 1112, when the books will be clos- •d, and our reports made to the Sec tary of State. "The matter of being registered before election day is a very impor tant one, and saves the election board a lot of work that should be, ud very easily could be, avoided. "Many people complain on elec ton day because their names are M in the Poll Books, and this is Ube cause they have not registered before hand. Many more people forget that they are required to re- JVgister every time they move from one precinct to another, This mat ter should be attended to now while the books are open In so many places in the county. “Please see to this and thus save the election boards a lot of unnec- essary work and worry.’’ ROBBERY SUSPECT HELD BY SHERIFF INSPECTION FOR COMPANY “K” Frank Iiecob was arrested Mon day afternoon by Sheriff Aschitn and charged with stealing money from the automobile of R.

The city caucus has been called for next Thursday, September 28, and various cliques and candidates are busy with the question of the hour. At a recent meeting of the city council Councilman C. A. Johnson and Fred Christensen resigned from that body for various reasons, the main one being for a disagreement over a culvert on Miller avenue. Frank Conover and John L. Hender son were appointed to take the places of the two who resigned and Judge Henderson was elected chair man of the city council. Both new aidermen have announced that they will throw their hats in the ring for the coming election. As to the candidate for mayor. Mayor Moulton Is expected to run again and not a few people suspect that former councilman Johnson -has an eye on that position. How many more aspirants there are in the offing is hard to say. Politics is a very unstable article this year and anything might happen before next Thursday. Interested city vot ers will decide at the caucus in the city hall next week, though doubt less many decisions will be made be fore then for there has been a cau- cus on every corner for the past week. CORVALLIS, Ore., Sept. 11__ (Special) — The Republican state central committee, under instruc tions from legislative and senatorial candidates, senatorial hold-overs, state committeemen and other lead ing Republicans from every county in Oregon, has called a meeting of Republicans to be held in Portland September 26 for the purpose of adopting a set of principles telling the voters for what the party stands in the coming campaign. Delegates to the meeting will consist of all Republican legislative and senatorial candidates, and hold over s*nators, state and con gressional committeemen, all Repub lican county chairmen and vice chairmen, and all Republican candi dates for county office. A committee wa* appointed at a meeting held In Eugene Saturday to draft a set of resolutions for sub mission to the convention. Senator iruce Dennis of LaGrande was made chairman of the committee and any Republican having any suggestions of "planks” to offer, is Invited to send the same to Mr. i Dennis, but all such planks must be submitted before noon of September Wheeler was visited by the fire blight Monday night when the can nery of the Tillamook Consolidated Industries was entirely destroyed by flames. The plant was Insured for $20.- 000 but It is said that this amount ■will not cover the loss. The fire was first discovered by the night watchman of the build ing but it was too late to save any of the cannery. The work of the volunteer fire fighters was con centrated on the surrounding build ings to prevent their burning also. The Wheeler cannery was built in 1910 and operated until 1921 when it was bought by the present ownets. The building contained steam plant, fish canning machinery and an Ice plant beside other equipment. It is thought that the fire start ed from an exploding ammonia tank. Lon Sexton charged Fanny Sexton with desertion and asks the court to release him from his martial ties. The Sextons were married at Monte sano, Wn., February 1905, and Mrs. Sexton deserted her husband in March, 1921, says the complaint filed In the circuit court this week.

BEFORE A SPECIAL COURT County Judge Homer Mason held Juvenile court Saturday and heard cases against three boys of this city. Thomas Ford, a fifteen year old boy, who lives with his parents in the Plasker apartments, was brought before the court charged with stealing cigarettes and cancty. Young Ford gained some publicity a few weeks ago by imagining he was a cowboy and shooting up the apartment house. The stolen goods were recovered and Ford paroled. Elmer Williams and William Campbell appeared before the court charged with stealing a tire from an automobile. Both were paroled. X-RAY MANHINE IS INSTALLED FOR ÖSE OF LOCAL PUBLIC Another adjunct to the medical profession was installed here this week when J. G. Turner received his new Roentgen ray machine. This produces what is commonly called x-rays and is used to examine internal organs and injuries. The new equipment will be han dled independently for the use of all physicians and dentists in the city. One new feature of the apparatus Is that of the Victor-Bucky diaphram. a device that is used in photographing the heavier parts of the human body so as to obtain a clear picture. Much difficulty has been experienced heretofore In pho tographing the hips and pelvic bones on account of the ao-called "fog" that obscures the finer lines and prevents ap accurate diagnosis. Most of the students have some- what recovered from their large dose of fair last week. The school board was good enough to close school Thursday and Friday, thus enabling the students to take in the fair activities. The Sophomores were humbled in their tug of war with the Freshmen last Tuesday on the Trask river. They were far outnumbered and al though they got a grub hoe and made a foothold for themselves in the soli, they were pulled over the bank into the water. This did not seem to hurt them much as they were all back to school the next morning. New students are entering daily. Seats are crowded into every corner of the assembly. More room Is still needed. The fire drill was carried out with unusual speed on Monday. The high school building was em ptied in one and one half minutes and the grades in two minutes. One of the humorous incidents that oc curred at this time was the fact that the Freshmen mistook the fire bell for the bell at the end of the period and so went from their classes to the assembly and were surprised when they discovered their mistake. When the bell for the period rang about five minutes later they took this for the fire bell and all rushed 9 out but were informed by the up- per classmen that this was only the bell signifying the end of the per iod. Through the action of the Till amook Library Board a four volume set of the ‘‘Life of Washington” by Washington Irving has been pre sented to the high school library by Judge McCamant of Portland. 25. Headquarters for the convention will be at the Imperial hotel and the place for holding the meeting will be announced through the press. This convention is the result of a trip through the state of he offi cers of the new Republican state central committee, Chairman Tooze and Secretary C. E. Ingalls. They have visited every county in the state and organized committees. At a meeting held in Pendleton of eas tern Oregon Republicans it was de cided to hold a state wide meeting for the purpose of adopting a plat- form porviding the plan met with the approval of the Republicans of the First and Third congressional districts. This meeting was held at Eugene Saturday and the plan was unanimously approved. *‘I think it is very important,’' said chairman Tooze, "for the Re publican party to have a platform upon which its state candidates should run. This will enable the Republicans of the state to know wthat they are voting for, and will fix definitely the responsibility of the fulfilling of all promises made to the people. As It la now, there as are 76 different platforms by different candidates and many hence no organized responsibility. This in a large measure has been the cause of many unecessary tax measures. We propose to "hold the party responsible for legislation and we believe we will thereby get bet ter legislation.’’ The Eugene meeting was an en thusiastic one, delegates from ev ery county pledging support to Gov ernor Olcott in hjs campaign fer reelection. The Governor was pres- entent and made an address at the evening banquet which was well spoken of hy the del legates present, He said he proposes to submit to the legislature a definite and con- plan for tax reduction and struct tax equalization and he plan will be th« result of the exhaustive la bors of the 'ax investigation com- mlttee w .ich he appointed 1 -1 (By Nehalem Correspondent) TILLAMOOK COUNTY IS IN i Miss Marlon Reed of Neah-kahnle PORT OF BAY CITY MEETS; RECEIPT OF AUTO FEES will attend Reed college this year. has Portland Harry Bryant of IS INFORMED OF SURVEY An allotment of $2,173.04 from been visiting friends here the past the automobile fees collected by the week.
