A young man, dressed in loggers
clothes went into Pennington's store
on Friday the 13th. He had a check
which purported to have been signed
by one Ralph Jennings in favor uf
Ray Greyson. Greyson stated that
he wanted some articles and would
like the balance in cash Mr. Pen
nington liecame suspicious and started
to call up to inquire whether he bunk
upon which the check was drawn had
any such depositor when the fellow
reached for the check saying that he
would take it over to the hank. A
moment later he came buck suying
that the bank was closed. Mr. Pen
nington then cashed the check und the
man left. A few moments later Mr.
Pennington did call up the bank and
found that his first suspiciou was cor
rect—that no one by the name of Jen
nings had funds in the bank. Mr.
Pennington immediately sought Sher
iff Aschim and they began a search
for the forger. Sheriff Aschim saw
a man well dressed, carrying a grip
walking toward the stage station. He
asked: "Is that your man?” A second
look convinced Mr. Pennmgton that
despite his change in ruiment. it was
Greyson. His arrest followed. In
the meantime Greyson, after getting
the check cashed, had hurried to a be
tel and changed into a natty suit, and
was seeking to make a rapid get away
He told the sheriff that he worked
the week previous in a hay field near
Hemlock and that they had stacked
the hay. The sheriff then told the
man that then- was no hay cut that
week on account of rain and that far
mers did not stack hay in this county.
Thus ended the fairy tale. Greyson
is behind the bars. In the meantime
the sheriff is looking over the "Ro
gue's gallery” with the belief that
Greyson is an old offender of some
sort. It has later developed that Gray
son cashed two more cheeks in town
before he went to Pennington's store.

posing the party was Senators Chas.
McNary and R. N. Sunfield the lat
ter’s secretary E. J. Adams and Jack
Guyton of Coos Bay who represents
the Portland dailies. The party ar
rived from Garibaldi at 11:30 and
took lunch at the Louvre. After lun
cheon the party was taken out by
Carl Haberlach and others to visit the
cheese factories and dairy farms in
the country adjacent. At 6:30 the Ki
wants club is entertaining the distin
guished visitors at a dinner given at
the Tillamook hotel.
At Garibaldi the senators looked
over the channel and it is understood
that they will favor an appropriation
for the deepening of the channel at
Garibaldi by the removal of the
shoals at that place. They also stated
that the bay had spent 6265,000 which
should be matched by a like appropri
ation from the government.
At Nehalem the people asked the
delegation for an appropriation to
dredge Nehalem bar, and suggested
that a government dredger be provid
ed for the bays along the up|>er Ore
gon coast, all of which it is said sound
ed reasonable to the senators.
The Senatorial party was tnedered
a formal dinner at the Tillamook ho
tel last night und left early this morn

GIRL FORGER CAUGHT
HERE BY SHERIFF
luist Saturday Hazel Rausch, a
dashing young woman of 17. wearing
a fetching Gainsborough hat and a
showy summer frock of latest design
alighted from the Portland stage in
this city about 1 p. m. last Saturday.
She was on her way to Rockaway to
spend a couple of weeks. She had no
idea that a reception would l>e given
her upon her arrival here, but such
was the case. Sheriff Aschim met her
with a warrant for her arrest on a
charge of forgery. It seems that Ha
zel had cashed two no-good chocks on
Hillsboro merchants the day before
totaling 6195 and had then started
over to the beach to listen to the sad
waves of the ocean. At something
of 8 p. m. Miss Rausch was speeding
hack to Hillsboro accompanied by a
handsome deputy sheriff with a shat
tered dream of coast conquests. She
confessed to an officer here that she
"didn’t know why she did it.” While
the sheriff at Hillsboro was phoning
to the sheriff of Tillamook, he receiv
ed a wire from the sheriff of Des
Chutes county at Bend asking him to
arrest Hazel for forgery committed
in that place where her husband
works in a logging camp. The girl
was married when 15 and is now but
17. She is pretty and had four hats
with her, including the one on her
head and she told a deputy sheriff
here, that she had as many dresses in
her two suit cases.

Beach Resorts Will Profit By Open-
ing Of Lung-Sought Brighton-
Manhattan
Road
It tiegins to look good for the com
pletion of the mile gap between Bri
ghton and Jetty creek on the Roose
velt highway between Tillamook and
Wheeler along the beach. It is under
stood that the state highway commis
sion and the Southern Pacific com
pany have at last come to terms which
will enuble the highway people and
the county court of this county soon
to begin operations. The tracks of
the Southern Pacific hug the bluffs
this side of Brighton and there is no
present room for the highway around
the cliffs. The highway people have
proposed that the railway company
move its tracks from the mills at
Brighton southward for about a quar
ter of a mile, which will straighten its
tracks just that much. This done, the
highway commission can cut down the
bluff enough to muke room for a
standard roadbed and thus get by
with the road. Once this remaining
stretch of road is completed, travel
over the Miami route will no longer
be necessary and tourists can take the
level route,Where they will be all the
way in sight of the ocean. This will
mean much to the beach resorts which
in the past have been bottled up by
the uncompleted gap in the road from
this place to Wheeler, where the road
connects with the Astoria-Seaside
highway.

EDITORS’ MEETING
Head Of Fish And Game
Commission Is Present
The State Editorial association
which met at Hood River this week in
its closing hours voted to hold the
next session of the association in Till
amook. By the time they arrive next
year the big armory auditorium
should be ready to receive them. The
coming of the association means that
at least 200 newspapermen and the
families of the married members will
be present sometime in July 1924. Till
amook has ample chances for the en
tertainment of such a body of visitors
outside of its own resources. The
beaches will be a great attraction,
which the average editor and his fam
ily will appreciate. In addition to the
editorial association we are to be host
to the Elks grand lodge which meets
here sometime in the early summer
and a couple thousand people will
doubtless be present on that occa
sion. The grand lodge of the Knights
of Pythias meets in Portland in Octo
ber this year and there is a chance
that the grand lodge of that order for
next year may be brought to Tilla
mook also. Tillamook will later be
the home of the two grand masters of
the Odd Fellows and K. P. lodges. C.
W. Barrick will be chosen as head of
the Pythian grand lodge sometime
next October. So in any event, Till
amook is due to get some beneficial
advertising next year.
JUDGE NAILS THE LIE
PASSED BY WOBBLIES
Quite frequently in I. W. W. pub
lications agitating the release of the
Centralia murderers one will find the
assertion that the judge who presided
at the trial has since declared that
he is convinced that there has been a
miscarriage of justice. This can best
I be answered by the following quota
tion from a ietteer received by the
Legion from Judge John M. Wilson
of the Superior Court of Thursten
county, Washington;
“About a year ago I received a com
munication f’om Elmer Smith who
was one of the defendants, enclosing
a resolution passed by some Seattle
organisation and requesting me to use
my influence toward the release of
these defendants from the peniten
tiary. This, of course, I ignored. 1
have paid little attention to the mat
ter and it is needless to say I have
made no statement that I believed jus
tice had miscarried. At the time of
the trial I was fully satisfied of the
guilt of these defendants and have
had no reason at any time since to
change my mind.”

MODEL HATCHERY
TO BE FAIR EXHIBIT
T. R. Pollock, superintendent of the
Gold creek hatchery at the suggestion
of W. D Pine, secretary of the Till
amook county fair, has consented to
exhibit a miniature fish hatchery at
the fair and will explain hatchery
work at that time. This should prove
to be quite an attraction io those who
have never seen anything of the kind

PROTECT FISH, IS PLEA
Various
Phases
Concerning
Club
Are Discussed During Course
Of
Meeting
The Tillamook Fish and Game club
had a rousing meeting last Monday
night at the city hall. In addition to
the club there were a number of in
vited guests present, The meeting
was called to order by the president,
Henry Crenshaw, with secretary W.
C. Foster at his post, The president
stated that the object of the meeting
was to instill new life in the club and
put it upon an active working basis.
The president then introduced A. E.
Burgdoff, head of the state Fish and
Game commission. With him were
M. L. Whitman, superintendent of
state hatcheries and T. R. Pollock of
the local hatchery. Mr. Burgdoff pre
faced his talk with a story to illus-
rate his assertion that he was not
an entertaining speaker. But he made
a very interesting talk notwithstand
ing, and gave a great many sidelights
as to the habits and genealogy of
fish that was instructive to many per
sons present.
He said that in pioneer days the
pioneers killed only what they needed
of game for food and fished for the
same purpose, so that wild life did not
suffer. Thei-e was then no call for
protection of fish and game. As pop
ulation and good roads and automo
biles increased, protection had become
n< ,-ssary. He was concerned with
the fish aspect of today. Owing to
flood conditions and the destructive
movement of silt in the rivers follow
ing a flood, only -bout 2 pe- cer.t of
the saimon and trout eggs are hatched
naturally. Artificial hatching had
therefore become a necessity, owing
to the great number of people who
fish for trout ana salmon. If left to
their natural methods the fish would
soon be gone. By artificial work at the
hatcheries about 80 per cent of the
eggs spawned artificially are hatched
and about 75 per cent are saved for
liberation in the coastal .*.-1 reams. All
fish that go up stream to spawn
should be protected.
Speaking of the state hatchery at
Gold creek, the only one in the county
he said that it was placed under the
management of the state game and
fish commission until tb<? ' -ning Oc
tober. The two comm: i » were di
vorced by the legislature. The state
Fish and Game Commission had not
only hatched trout eggs. but there
were a large numbei o; _■ xing salmon

the state hacheries, and all this had
been done from the proceeds of fish
and game licenses that came to his
