Some of the road work in this county is now waiting on the decis­ ion of the state highway commission in which the county and state are jointly interested as to construction. It is understood that the new state highway commission will visit this county in the near future and confer with the county court and look over the work which a former state board had undertaken, and xnich it will feel under obligations to finish. R. A. Booth, one of the meml>er» of the old state highway commission is still on the board, and is familiar with road conditions over here, and with the plans of the former board as they re­ lated to road improvement in this county.

Road Equipment Is Being Overhauled For Busy Summer Ahead ROCK CRUSHER READY Work On Oretown-Neskowin Is Expected One To Month Occupy More Road PRICE $2.00 A YEAR 20 LUMBER MILLS ARE IN OPERATION DEAF MUTE IS SHOT SEEKING ENTRANCE % Many Logging Contracts Are Being Roy Winn W ounded In Foot When Ed TomlinHon Think» He 1» Hold-Ip Man A deaf mute, Roy W’inn of Brigh- ton. was «hot late Sunday night at the home of Ed Tomlinson on the west fork of Foley creek. Two shots were fired by Tomlinson through a door, one of which enter­ ed Winn’s right foot about half way up the ankle. Winn started to go to a friend's place by the name of Kin­ ney, and in the darkness passed by Kinney’s place and stopped at Tom­ linson’s place. Winn rapped on the door, and Tomlinson inquired “Who's there?” As the deaf mute could not hear, much less answer the summons, Kinney became alarmed and secured a rifle and sent two bullets through the door with the disastrous result. Winn, after receiving the wound started down the road to Kinney's place, one mile distant, and owing to hi* wound was about four hours in making the trip. He was brought to Tillamook for treatment by Kinney, and is .at a local hospital. Sheriff Aschim and county attorney Goyne went up to see Tomlinson, who stated that he mistook the wounded man for some sort of a hold up man, as he did not reply to his words of inquiry, and thathe finally tdld the supposed intruder that “if he did not leave he would shoot" The rapping was con­ tinued, and then Tomlinson fired, No action has been taken, thus far by the authorities, other than to inquire in- to the matter. M ork in the south end of the coun­ ty is 'going forward. The Stewart cut, between Cloverdale nad Nesko­ win, has been finished and is ready for travel. Work is also progressing on the strip of new road between Ore- town and Neskowin, where two steam shovels are kept in operation. About twenty men are employed on this work, which is a portion of the road that was not finished last year. A steam shovel is also in operation at the Werschkul cut off which is being repaired for the summer travel, be­ tween Cloverdale and Pacific City.. The big Cloverdale rock crusher is being overhauled for the spring and summer work, and is expected to be put in operation the last of this week or by the first of next week. This crusher is located near a hill of the finest rock in Tillamook county, and already has furnished thousands of tons of fine rock for roads in the south end of the county. Big county trucks convey this crushed rock to various points, where it makes an enduring surface for the roads. The crusher employs a large force of men who live in or near Cloverdale.
