today. Mr. Cook was between 75 and
80 years of age.

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

Grand Jury
The City
Company Agrees To
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 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.
