It is understood that an appropria-

light house has been asked for and
probably will be placed in the govern
ment lighthouse budget for the Ore
gon coast. 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.,

LOGANBERRY PICKING NOW ON
F. D. Bester has eight acres of lo
ganberries that are beginning to rip
en 2 miles east of town. 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.

service«, which I did. One day, how
ever, 1 was examined as to my quali
fications to ait as a juror in a trial
in which a man was being tried for
murder. 1 knew of no reasons why 1
should not serve, as I had not read
much about the case, but Tom Hand-
ley. senior, who was for the defense,
after a few questions, excused me,
much to my surprise. Just as 1 start

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

receiving only a common school edu

prniter taught me many things that
have since been of value to me, and
I guess that was a sort of an educa

in the good old school of "Hard
Knocks,” and in every day experi
ence."

GOOD CHANCE FOR A JOB
Farmers are said to lack help in
this county in haying and one of the
mills in this county is also short of
mill help, so it is reported. The ber
ry crop will soon have to be taken
care of also. Here is a good chance
for some of the surplus and unoccu
pied population of Tillamook to get
busy and take a job. A man who
doesn’t get a job now, can safely be
■et down as one who doesn't want
one.

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*. My father
J. M. Alley and my mother left In
diana in 1H66 at the close of the war,
and crossq0 the Isthmus coming to'
California. My father was a first
lieutenant in the army during the i.iv
il war and had iung had the w< st in
