It is also believed that the government has for the present, at least, abandoned the idea of erect ing a light house on cape Lookout, some miles south of Cape Mears. It is learned that the government will soon make a number of improvements at Cape Mears, looking to that place as a permanent light station. There now is a road from Bayocean to the light house, but the road is not a sur faced highway which is desirable for JlSUling supplies. When the Tilla- mook-Bayocean road is completed, sup plies probably will come by rail to Tillammk and thence go to Bayoeean. From the latter point supplies will go forward over the government road to the light house., M- —------ —-------- LOGANBERRY PICKING NOW ON F. D.

As the can neries in this county will not oper ate this year on account of the high cost of sugar and tin, berry raisers Will have to depend upon family con sumption of this fine fruit. Mr. Bester says the loganberry got a black eye in the east because they were carelessly processed and poorly canned during the war period and that they did not look good nor did they taste good to those who bought them canned. Another objection was the high price charged for them when retailed. These causes have operat ed against the loganberry to a con siderable extent, but the housewife out west knows that when properly canned, the loganberry is a table fruit delicacy and Oregonians strong for it. at the case during unoccupied jury service«, which I did.

Just as 1 start ed out uf the room into the hall. 1 met Tom. “Say, Mr. Alley, Jones needs you mighty bad over there in the Headlight office. That's why I ex cused you.” Tom was an old news paper man himself, and had compas sion for the editor who needed a jur or for a compositor." “Well, as to religion, I am a Meth odist, and that was the faith of my parents, and is good enough for me. Politically I have always been a re publican. I ani largely self-educated, receiving only a common school edu cation. My early experience as a prniter taught me many things that have since been of value to me, and I guess that was a sort of an educa tion in itself.

T PIONEER ROAD BlTLDER Bl SY “Speaking or roads, finished and un finished, and of road improvements,' said County Commissioner Alley the other day, "reminds me of the yearn ing we used to have for just common dirt roads in the early days in this county.” “You must have been an etfrly set tler,” remarked the reporter, scenting a story of pioneer road making. "I came to Nehalem when only 15 years old, and at that time there were no wagon roads up there. The set tlers followed the winding Indian trails for a while, and then began a system of their own, to shorten dis tance*. There were no wagon roads until 1905, and when we wanted flour, sugar and such things, we came to Tillamook close upon the arrival of a schooner from Portland and brought our goods up from the boat to Brigh ton by pack homes, went across Neha lem bay in skiffs and canoes, and then packed in to our place*.
