The i county court hopes to finish
two p tujerta which it has outlined and
begin i work on this season, namely
the r road from the Clatsop county
line t to Mohler in the north end of
the c< ■ounty and the 12 m.k stretch
of road between Hebo and Neskowin
in the south end. The county and the
stale an acting on a 50-50 co-operat
ive basis in both cases. The state
called for bids for its share of the
south end work and Tillamook county
was the succ«*ssful bidder. From the
Little Nislucca drawbridge to Ne»-
kowir. the county sublet the contract
to Dunn i Baker who have about 30
per cent of their contract excavated
auu rocked. The Tillamook county
Court u doing the work north from
Little Nestucca to Hebo. The exca
vation is practically all done on this
«nd of the 12 mile stretch and rocking
was begun last Thursday. The big
ruck crusher at Cloverdale is furnish
ing tin ruck for the work on the north
end of the project. About one mile of
the entire 12 miles was finished last
year, leaving 11 miles yet to be com
pleted. The remainder of the road
between the two points last named it
is expected will be finished early this
fall.
Th« .‘va nd lake market road which
leaves the Roosevelt highway south
of Hemlock and ends at Sandlake
school house is being worked upon at
the present time with Emil 4'ooley,
as road foreman. The project is about
six miles in length and is a road that
has long been needed, »ay those who
live in that section, to give them an
outlet for their produce.
Work is progressing on the Neha-
ien. bridg' which will connect the
town of Nehalem with the new dike
road now in process of construction
frum Ntnaiem to Wheeler. The
bridge is about ready for the steel
which thus far has not yet arrived.
The Tillamook Spruce company with
a’capital stock of $100.000 and head
quarters in Portland has been incor
porated by C. F. Swigert. W. E.
Ranies and Geo. Schott, all promin
ent Portland business men of means.
C. F. Swigert is president of the Port
land Bridge Co., and was at one time
interested in a street car system in
Portland, and is at the head of and
is interested in several manufacturing
and other business concerns in the
metropolis of Oregon.
C. F. Adams, said to be a director
of th«- new company, is vice president
of the First National bank of Port
land. and W F Barnes, a well known
lumber man of the northwest, is the
manager of the new company and who
is personally directing th«' work of
the company at the mill near Juno,
The mill under the management of
Mr. Schultz, the former proprietor,
had a daily cutting capacity of 38,000
feet, and it is believed under the new
management the mill will be improv-
ed to do much more. It is said that
the timber acquired by the purchase
of the Schultz interests will cruise
between 30,000,000 and 40,000,000 ft.
of timber. Rumors are in circulation
that among the improvements will be
■ logging road, but the report lacks
confirmation by the new management.
Enough, however, is known to war
rant the belief that the new concern
will eventually be one of the leading
lumber producing concern.« of the
county and that it will have much to
do with the future increase of lumber
cutting in this section, and at the
same time increase the already big
county lumber payroll.
STEALING AUTOMOBILE
BRINGS PRISON TERM
Sheriff John Aachim last Monday
took Willis Hart to the state peniten
tiary where he will serve a term not
to exceed five years for stealing an au
tomobiie from Arthur Loerpabel of
Mohler and bringing the machine to
this city where he was arrested. He
was indicted and upon arraignment
in Circuit Court plead guilty and was
sentenced by Judge Bagley. Hart, who
is a young man. recently was an in
mate of the State Industrial school,
but was paroled and now his offense
takes him to the penitentiary.
Commenting upon th«- case of
young Hart, an official this week said:
"The young fellows who have been
in the habit of taking other people’s
autos out and keeping them, without
permission, all night or from one to
two days or nights as the case may be
should take heed of the example of
Geo ge Murphy a driver for the Till Hart or they may be taking the same

ELECTION DAY IS JULY 2
Many Organizations Will Benefit By
Erection Of State Building No»
• Being
Contemplated
A special city election has been call
ed to occur on July 2nd, 1923, when
the legal voters within the city will
pass upon the question of voting bond
for the sum of $6000 to be used in the
construction of an armory building
for this city, in conjunction with the
donation of the blck 1 in Maple Grove
addition, which the city is acquiring
by purchase from the Dwight «-state
making altogether a lump sum of $10-
000 for the above purpose by the
city. The county has pledged another
$10,000 making the total of $20,000
required by the state, from this coun
ty to match the $20,000 appropriated
by the state of Oregon at the last
session of the legislature for the
erection of an armory in this city.
Provided bonds are voted for the $5,-
000 required by the city to make
good it* amount of the cost, the build
ing will become a certainty and work
upon its construction will begin soon
after the bonds are voted, thus as
suring Tillamook of a large meeting
place for the city public and where
big fraternal conventions and other
big gatherings can be held thereby ad
vertising the town and bringing large
crowds from outside points with ade
quate room for entertaining and at
the same time affording a home for
the local company of O. N. G. and its
equipment. Much interest is evinced
in the coming election by those who
take the view that the armory build
ing has now become a public necessi
ty. and that it will fill a long felt
want in the matter of the housing
economy of the city on public occa-
sions.
Of The Men In The
Approximately 6000 acres of tim
ber lands lying in Washington and
Tillamook counties changed hands
this week, when the Crossett Timber
company of this state, with mill* at
Wauna and at Big creek on the lower
Columbia, paid to the Edmund Hall
Ijind company, of Detroit, Mich., the
sum of a million and a half dollars
for a tract of timber in township one
north, range 6 west of the Willamette
meridian, which is said to cruise 5,-
000,000 feet. Most of the timber in
volved in this deal lies in Washington
county, according to county assessor
Johnson of this city, and is situated
on the headwaters of Wilson river.
The tract is adjacent to the Gales
Creek Logging company now being
operated by the Crossett people. The
timber in question lies close to the
railway route surveyed from Wash
ington county to Bay City on the line
of the railway acquired sdme time ago
by the Northern Pacific and the Great
Northern railway companies.
AUTOMOBILE TURNS;
OCCUPANTS HURT
About 6:30 Tuesday morning, and
automobile containing three men from
Salem, Carl F. Dixon, Warren Lens-
ley and Walter Eberhart, skidded on
the curve this side of Pleasant Val
ley and turned over, landing in the
ditch by the roadside. Eberhart was
beneath the car but was released by
his companions, who beyond some mi
nor bruises and cuts were not injured.
Eberhart was brought to this city by
Dr. Robinson when it was found that
he had received a dislocation of the
right hip. He is in the hospital, re
ceiving treatment and probably will
not be able to leave for some time.
The men say that they were not go
ing at a high rate of speed, but that
the slippery condition of the highway
caused the machine to skid with the
above result. All of the men are
members of the Salem fire depart
ment ano came over to Tillamook on
a fishing trip. The automobile was
badly wrecked.

CHICAGO, June 9. (Special)—The

reports a creditable record of imik
and butter production of a purebred
Holstein owned by F. R. Beals of
Tillamook, Oregon
Lady Dora Aaggie Pontiac, a five
years and four months old cow pro
duced 71*5.9 lbs. of milk and 20.192
lbs of butterfat, equivalent to 25.2

A certain standard of production is
required according to age and length

Of
State Units For Drill In Month
Of
May
This evening, by 10 o’clock, Tilla
mook’s soldiers will have departed Tor
two week’s training at Camp Iewia,
Wash.
It will be a new experience for
many of the boys, as the biggest per
cent have never attended a military
camp before. However, there will be
enough veterans to set the recruit*
on the right track and keep their feet
in ¡>aths of righteousness, according
to army rules.
•
This morning the men are to as
semble at the armory in the high
school gymnasium building ata 9:30;
first call at 9 o’clock. Then they will
be completed as regards equipment
and their clothing and packs will be
gone over thoroughly to see that no
thing is left behind that will be need
ed. After that there will be some
company property to pack and get a-
board the train which will consist of
two tourists and one baggage car, for
Company K is going to camp in style
quite unlike the old coast artillery
company that left here in 1917 which
had to sleep all night in chair car*.
They will not have to change cars at
Portland for the Tillamook unit will
simply be attached to a train leaving
for Camp Lewis from Portland at
9:45 tomorrow morning. There will
probably be breakfast waiting in Port
land tomorrow when the Tillamook
men roll ■« at 6 p. m.
Incidentally Company K won the
highest place again last month for at
tendance. This is getting to be some
what of a bore for the Tillamook
men, who, by this time, fail to get ex
cited at such honors bestowed upon
them. Company K will leave here with
over eighty men in ranks.
It is very unlikely that it will be
found necessary to leave a provost
guard to pick up stragglers, but if it
is these men will be arrested and tak
en to Camp I>-wis and court martial-
ed by the camp authorities. A Los
Angeles newspaper has the following
to say regarding the way slackers and
stragglers are handled by the Cali
fornia National Guard:
“Twenty—five members of the 160th
Infantry, California National Guard,
were arrested today at their homes
and places of business in Los Angeles
and vicinity and booked at the city
jail on charges of failure to attend
drill, a violation of the California pen
al code, punishable by a maximum
sentence of 60 days’ imprisonment...
“The arrests made today were in
furtherance of a campaign started
two months ago by the National
Guard officers to enforce orders to the
men to attend regular drills of the lo
cal unit. Approximately 60 men had
been arrested previous to today.

eighth of an inch in width was taken
from the right foot of I eon Messer-
smith, son of Fred Mesersmith of this
city, between the heel and instep, by
Dr. Robinson on last Tuesday. The
glass had been in th«' foot for four
years and had begun to work out. It
was imbedded in the flesh while the
boy was going barefoot and beyond
occasional twinges of pain had given
no serious trouble. The boy refused
to take an anaesthetic but fainted at
the conclusion of the extraction. He
soon recovered and walked home gla !
