FRIDAY, MAY 11, 1923 TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT 6 CITY BOOSTERS BAY CITY TOURIST CAMP The commercial club at Bay City is a lively organisation, the members of which are at the wheel all the time. The latest advertisement for the town is the creation of a tourist camp, where free lights, wood and water are furnished. The camp is located on a little creek near the Masonic hall, where there are about five acres of fine camping ground available. The grounds are being fixed up in good shape, and are reported to be very inviting by those who have been to see them. Horse shoe links have been laid out where tourists who are so inclined can play “barnyard golf’’ to their hearts content. Other attract ions are laso provided for the child ren. The city has shown good judg ment in providing for the tourists and it doubtless will become a popular stopping place for the camping pub- lie. LOCAL MAN INJURED BY RUNAWAY HORSE J. E. Jensen, a farmer, who lives southeast of town, was severely kick ed on the right knee by a runaway horse, which started to run at the Tillamook cheese factory Monday morning. The animal became fright ened at the breaking of the breech strap, and kicked out the front of the wagon, striking Jensen on the knee cap. A bystander grabbed the ani mal by the bits, and was yanked some distance before the crazed anima! was stopped. The animal sustained cuts on the leg. Jensen afterwards drove up town and got out of the wagon when he fainted. He was taken home in the auto of a neighbor, and while he did not call a doctor it was the opinion of bystanders that he would be laid up with the injured knee. TILLAMOK MEADOWS GREEN 1889. The bank was nationalised and sold to the First National bank in 1807. Thayer and wife removed to Portland after the sale of the bank, and a few years later went to Berk ley, California, where he resided up to the time of his death.

It is understood that the land upon which the court house stands, was donated to the county by the Thayers.

The Eastern brook trout is noted for its excellent flavor and for its gameness. So far as known, the fish at Skookum lake are the only ones of the species in this county. There is no evidence that they leave the lake, and go down the creek into the river. Last Sun day Lee Thielsen and F. L. Mills drove up as far as they could go with a machine, and then walked in. They had a heavy trip up the trail, which had many logs across it from last winter’s storms. They caught about thiily trout, but no very large one. Ti.e boys saw no signs of the monster which Indian tradition states in- habits the unfathomable depths of this mountain pool, on the margin of which they slept Sunday night. At A.

The fanner had an immense old tom cat, which was in the habit of following him around the farm, like a dog. When he went out to dig the holes which were to contain the plnnts Tom followed along without much ap parent interest, but when the farmer opened up the guano bags and began to deposit small amounts of it in , holes, Tom seemed to wake up.
