The Citizens’ Military Training
-Camp for Oregon and Washington,
conducted by the War department un
der the National Defense Act, will be
held again this year at Camp Lewis,
Washington and at Fort Worden,
Washington, from July 26th, to Aug
ust 24th, 800 young men will be re
ceived at Camp Lewis for instruction
in Infantry, Field Artillery, Cavalry,
Engineers and Signal Corps branches
and 50 will be sent to Fort Worden
for Coast Artillery instruction. There
will be no course in Aviation.
The objects of these camps, three
being held yearly for each of the nine
corps areas in the United States, are
to bring together young Americans
of high types from all sections of the
country, thereby developing closer
national and social unity; to teach
the privileges, duties and responsibil
ities of American citizenship; to stim
ulate patriotism; to interest young
men in the importance of military
training; to teach self discipline; to
lea rn the importance of proper phys
ical and mental hygiene and to devel
op the physical standard of the Amer
ica: youth through participation in
military exercises, athletic games and
sports, conducted under expert direc
tion.
f The benefits derived by attending
the camp are secured without ex
pense to the students, as War depart
ment provides transportation to Camp
and return, board, lodging and ex
pert medical attention, unforms, equip
ment, arms, laundry (for clothing is
sued at Camp) and amusements in
the form of athletics, games and mus-
ica 1 entertainments.
| Last year nearly six hundred en
thusiastic young Americans “weigh
ed in” at Camp Lewis for Citizens’
Military Training Camp and were
found on “weighing out” to have
made an average gain of 3.87 pounds
per man, a good general indication of
the benefits of their training during
a four weeks period.
f Four courses of instruction will be
..given; a Basic Red course—age lim-
* -'its from 17 to 24 years; an Advanced
! -Bed Course—17 to 24 pears; a White
Course—18 to 24 years; and a Blue

Two men are missing in or about
Tillamook county and to date no trace
has been -found of them.
A. Cook, grandfather of Deputy
sheriff E. W. Holden, started from Me
Minnville on the tenth of this month
to walk to Tillamook over the moun
tains. He expected to arrive here a
week ago last Thursday but did not
show up and a searching party went
to look for him. His tracks were
found in several places on the moun
tains east of this city but the missing
man has apparently disappeared. An
other hunt was to be made for him
today. Mr. Cook was between 75 «nd
80 years of age.
Darrell Mertz, 16 years old, form
erly from Forest Grove, started from
Rockaway last Tuesday morning,
claiming he was looking for work. A
trace of him was heard of at Wheel
er, but aside from that he has not
been located. The, father of the boy
arrived here from Forest Grove Tues
day evening to assist in the serach.

Some misapprehension has appear
ed to exist during the past few weeks
with regard to the prices of Tilla
mook chese. At this time the local
product is selling at 23c the pound
for triplets, 24c for longhorns and
Young Americas and 25c for the new
loaf style. These prices are the same
as the lowest attained during the
past year and it is hoped that no fur
ther reductions will be necessary.
Cheese has been moving more read
ily during the past week than for
some time past. Shipments from the
association factories amounted to
more than 2500 cases, most of it go-
ing to California points.
Advertisements announcing the fact
that prices are lower are also being
placed in all of the papers along the
coast where Tillamook cheese is ex
tensively sold. In addition, small
streamers calling attention to the re
duction are being distributed among
retailers so that the public will be
made aware of the change without de
lay.
Within a short time, a billboard will
be erected near the Tillamook cream
ery, at the south end of Second street
in Tillamook City, which will carry
the same advertising that is now be
ing used in lower California to stim
ulate sales in that section. This board
will have a lithographed sheet with
advertising similar to that on the
small poster displayed in retail stores
MUSICAL PAGEANT
ENTERTAINS MANY
An unusually large crowd attend
ed the musical recital and pageant
given by the pupils of Mrs. E. E.
Koch at the high school auditorium
Friday evening. The first part of the
program was a scene in a fairy dell
where pixies and fairies frolicked.
Each little pixie and fairy played a
selection on the piano which carried
out the story of the pageant, and
there were several dances. The last
half of the program was given over
to the older and more advanced pu
pils. Donald Lee and Gertrude Ann
Partridge won much applause with a
song and Elizabeth McGrath recited..
The entire performance was worthy
of much praise and was a treat to
all who attended.

Last Monday evening, while re-
turning from school on his bicycle,
Carl Geinger, youngest son of E. J.
Geinger was struck by a truck driven
by Theodore Peterson and fatally
hurt under the wheels of the vehicle
dying a few hours later at a hospital..
Carl attended the Trask river
school and had not proceeded very
far from the school house when the
truck overtook him, going south. An
other truck was approaching, going
north, at about the same time that
Peterson attempted to pass the Geiti-
ger boy. Peterson, in an effort to
pass the approaching truck swung
to the right, and in some unaeeount-
able way, struck Carl, throwing him
to the pavement directly under the
right rear wheel of the heavy ma-
chine, The boy was badly injured
and there was no chance to save his
life.
A coroner's jury called on the case
the next day returned the following
verdict
“We, the jury in the above en-
titled matter, being called to inquire
into the death of Carl Geinger, find
that the said Carl Geinger came to
his death on the 9th day of April,
1923, in Tillamook county, Oregon, by
being run over by a truck driven and
operated along and upon the highway
by one Theodore Peterson, and that
said Theodore Peterson, in driving
and operating the said truck at the
time was negligent.”
It is thought that Peterson, who
was employed by the Sundquist-Nor-
berg company, will be held for the
grand jury.

Cattle
Some time ago a carload of cattle
were shipped in to this county with
out having passed the required test
for tuberculosis. This led to corres
pondence between county officials and
the railroad company, the outcome of
which has been that the railroad has
promised to refuse any more ship
ments of cattle into the county unless
they have passed the requirements of
the state Livestock Sanitary board..
The county officials, however, are
having a hard time preventing the
shipment of cattle into the county by
truck that have not been tested. The
dairymen have been asked to show
some co-operation and refuse to have
their cattle shipped this way as it
will help with the spread of the dis
ease and will make it harder to get
a clean bill of health for the county
regarding bovine tuberculosis.

word that their percentage for the

Adjutant General George A. White
in a communication sent to Captain
J. E. Shearer, says regarding the new
record set by the local soldiers:
“During the mouth of March, the
records show that your company had
an attendance of 106 per cent lups:
The exact figure in fact was 107.01
per cent. This is a brand-new record
upon which I wish to congratulate
you and your officers and men. It has
set a mark that will be difficult for
anyone to ever pass in the matter of
drill attendance."
So far as known no similar record
has yet been attained by any national
guard unit in the United States, and
is cause for much satisfaction on the
part of the members of Company K.
