Mr. Cook was between 75 and 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.

OFFERS HELP IN SHIPPING CATTLE Railroad DRIVER HELD CARELESS Theodore Peterson Will Be Heid For Next Meeting Of The Community Singing Part Of Meeting 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 .ast Monday Evening The annual election of officers of the parent-teachers association was held Monday evening at the high school auditorium when the following officers were elected: W.

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 Gein ger boy. Peterson, in an effort to pass the approaching truck swung to the right, and in some unaccount- able way, struck Carl, throwing him to the pavement directly under the right real’ 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. Cattie 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.

Shearer, says regarding the new record set by the local soldiers: “During the month of March, records show that your company an attendance of 100 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." ¡jo 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.
