It is understoodthat the county
court now has no new road projects
before it, but rather is seeking to
completethose already projected and
unfinished last year, aik: will include
road maintainance which is always in
order. 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.
To fully apprecitae the extent of

interior sections of the county, should

Sheriff Aschim last Saturday at Bri

Bagley Sunday regarding the case,
and it was understood that Millican
would be allowed to pay the above

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. Much
of this rock has been furnished, the
past year or two to the state and
