One of the several prominent beach

ELECTRIC EMPLOYEES
HOLD ANNUAL FEAST
Tuesday evening the employes of
the Coast Power company gathered at
the new power plant for their annual
dinner. The tables were arranged to
seat seventy-five people uml were
nicely decorated with bouquets of
sweet peas and roses.
After the dinner was served C. W.
Barrick, attorney for the company
acted as toast master. In his opening
remarks he brought out a few points
about the growth of the company that
were very interesting to every one.
C. J. Edwa'ds wus called on for a
short talk in which he spoke of the co
operating of the employees that had
made possible the growth of the
Coast Power company. He closed his
talk with a f«W remarks about the
growth of Tillamook and the surround
ing country and the prospects of the
future growth of this territory. A
recitation by Myron Ray, reading by
Mrs. C. J. Edwards, vocal solos by
Mias Belle Bailey and Mrs. Lloyd
Fdwards helped round out the pro
gram. The comedy of the evening
was furnished by “Sam Washington
Lincoln Roosevelt” who drew a num
ber of laughs from the crowd. "Sam”
is otherwise known us Alfred Chesser
and is a member of the line crew .
One of the features of the evening
was the shutting down of the large
generator at the plant to eliminate
the noise. The Whitney Lumber com
pany picked up the load as the plunt
was shutting down so that there was
no interruption of service. Though
this matter seems of little import
ance still it is ability to draw on two
sources of power that enables the
Coast Power company to furnish con
tinuous service.
After the program was completed
group singing was enjoyed until the
party broke up to go home late in the
evening.

Within 30 Hays it is believed that
tile improvement of the Tilluniook
City water system will be completed
and the new pipe line will have been
connected with the steel mains at a
point ubout two miles below the dam
and water intake on Killam creek. The
improvements will consist of ubout
two miles or 10,0th) feet of new 18-
inch wire bound creosoted wood stave
water pipe, which will connect two
miles down the line with the 10 inch
steel main. The old wood pipe line is
iuid along the side of a hili for a con
siderable distance und has caused con
siderable trouble in the past by leaks
due to air hubbies which have oc
curred at the high points in the line,
but the old wood line will be aband
oned and two miles of wood pipe will
replace it at a lower level at the bot
tom of the hill und it is believed thut
former difficulties will thus be avoid
ed in the future. The new' wood pipe
will carry practically three times us
much writer as does the old ten inch
wooden pipe. It is also believed by
superintendent Elmer Hoag that the
water pressure will be greatly in
creased for l>oth city nnd fire purpos

has been extremely difficult, as any
one can see. _Tons of large smooth

Mrs. Orpha Eastman who has had

ed by the county to look after child
ren whose parents leave them in in
digent circumstances. All of the in
digent children of the county who are
not delinquents are sent to the Boys
and Girls Aid society in Portland.
Recently Mrs. Eastman was in Port
land und visited the society’s home.
She ascertained while there that two
little girls who were taken from Mrs.
Campbell, their mother, in this coun
ty, hud been udopted into good fanii-
!ifs. Ruby Sawyer who wus tuken to
the home from this county has boon
taken itno a good home and is taking
music and going to school. The three
children of Jess Davis of Rockaway
who weret aken to the home by Mrs.
Eastman about the first of July last
are pleased with their new .surround
ings. The boy, a bright little* fellow-
said he “had found such u good home
now, that he was afraid somebody
would adopt him and take him away.”
It is gratifying to know that these
children are bing taken care of and
are given opportunity to begin life
with an even chance.
The trustees of the local Methodist

Improvement
The Kiwunis club gave u banquet
at the Tillamook hotel on Thursday
night of lust week in honor of the
visiting senators. Senutor Stanfield
wus not present having been culled
awuy on business. A talk was made
by the absent Senator's secretary and
by Senutoi McNary, The matter of
the improvement of the
1
Tillamok har
bor came up and Senator
I
McNary
stated that the bay ' was much larger
than he hud at first thought when he
came to look it over. He said there
was no good reason why government
uid should not lie secured to improve
all of the harbors of this bay by ade
quate channel dredging and deepen-
ing. Many of the Atluntic bays
were receiving uid without the 50-50
requirement and as Oregon was pro
ducing a large part of the lumber re
quired in the east, its bays and rivers
were certainly entitled to government
aid in the mutter of their improve
ment. laical speakers presented the
needs of Tillamook quite clearly. The
attitude of Senutor McNary on har
bor improvements has uroused u feel
ing of hopefulness on the part of the
Tiliumuok people und the senutors’
visit will no doubt result in local act-
ion looking to the hurbor’s needs.
About 00 persons were present at
the banqpeL Senator McNary left
for points outside Friday morning.

A fire alarm last Saturday at about
three o’clock brought out the fire boys
in a hurry. The fire occurred at the
residence of Mrs. Medcalf at west
First street and Fourth avenue and
first attacked the roof, later burning
through to three rooms of the house.
It got a good start for a bad fire but
the chemical tanks of the big Stutz
soon had the flumes out. The fire orig
inated from sparks thut fell upon the
roof from the hood of the chimney
and was blazing at a lively rate when
first discovered. The engine arrived
in less than 3 minutes after the alarm
wus turned in. The damage to the
building, Chief Coates estimates, was
in the neighborhood of $100. Mrs. Med
calf called on the fire boys and thank
ed them for their good work and stat
ed that not a thing in the rooms wus
dnmuged in suppressing the fire.
While making a sharp turn a' a
point 4 miles south of this city lust
Saturday night, a tire blew out and
ditched an auto driven by Edw. E.
Twigger of Rockaway. Miss Agnes
Nelson was thrown under the car but
wus tuken out of the debris by anoth
er man whose name could not be as-
certained who • with the first named
couple was in the car at the time of
the accident, Twigger suffered a
broken right i arm at the wrist and
Miss Nelson is in the Vidito hospital
recovering from severe contusions but
was not internally injured. Dr. Rob
inson was called to attend the twain
The other man escaped with a few
trifling scratches. The machine was
taken to the Tillamook garage and
looks is if it might have passed thru
a Texas cyclone.
BAY CITY YOUTH
RIFLES CASH TILL
Lawronce Poole, said to be 13
years of age, robbed the till at the
fish dock at Bay City last Thursday
and secured $81.70 in cash besides
some checks which were later found
blowing about under the dock where
the youthful purloiner had thrown
them. When the theft was discovered
suspicion fell upon young Poole and
he was interviewed by deputy sheriff
Leslie Lucus and finally came through
with the money. He had hidden $11.50
in the loading shed of the local mill
and the balance he had Becreted else
where. The money was all recovered.
Also the checks whieh the boy had
thrown away. After he had accounted
for the money and before it was de
cided just what to do with him, the
boy madt; his get away and could not
be found. The most that can be done
is to »end him to the reform school
as the statute prevents criminal pros
ecution. Young Poole, figured Some
time ago in a watch and money case,
the loser being a Mr. Ramsey of Bay
City. The watch was recovered in
Portland. Should the boy be caught
he probably will be due for a term in
Oregon’s juvenile house of correction.
In the watch stealing ease he escaped
because Mr. Ramsey did not want to
prosecute.
THIS THRIFTY CHEF
CAUGHT WITH GOODS
L. V. Moss was chef at the Tilla
mook hotel for u long time, until he
quit his job, by request, last Sunday.
He took his own effects and left the
hostelry. Thut would huve been em
inently proper proceedure, had he not
taken a stack of fine table and bed
linen belonging to the hotel.
Becoming suspicious after his dv-
parture, that ull was not as serene
as a cloudless summer day, Mr. Wor
rell swore out a warrant charging
the erstwhile chef with petit larceny.
The arrest was affected and a search
of the cookie’s possessions revealed
sheets, towels, choice lot of extracts,
several cakes of soap and other things
usually found around a first class hos
telry which the proprietor had no
trouble in identifying as his own.
Moss, whose name is quite common
on the trees of the coast range, plead
guilty beforo Judge Stanley last Mon
day and paid a fine of $25 and costs
Jo the county and ambled on his way.

Morning after Shooting
Mrs. Pearl Stewart, the recently di
vorced wife of Tebbie Stewart of this
city shot herself with a 38 calibre re
volver last Tuesday about 11 a. m.
with suicidal intent. The bullet en
tered the body on the left side and
struck a rib and followed it Ground,
coming out at the left shoulder. The
intention evidently was to shoot her
self through the heart, but the angle
at which she held the revolver pre
vented. In the room at the time was
her former husband and Thelma Matt
hews, a girl who had at times past
looked after the children while the
mother worked in a local restaurant.
Two physcians were called and after
an examination the wounded woman
was removed to the Vidito hospital,
The shooting occurred in a bed-
room at the Geo. Maybee house where
the woman had rooms. ‘The physi-
cians state that the woman has excel
lent chances for recovery. The mo
tive for the act, while largely hear
say, is thought to be due to the fact
that when Mrs. Stewart returned Mon
day from McMinnville, where she had
just received a court decree divorcing
her from Tebbie Stewart, her former
husband, she found that her children
two little boys, aged 18 months and 5
years, respectively had been placed
in the hands of another woman by her
husband. This seemed to depress Mrs
¡Stewart who arose from her bed,
reached under the pillow and drew
the gun and fired the shot that wound
ed her. She made the statement later
that she had shot herself. The Stew
arts have had more or less trouble of
late and some weeks ago, it is relat
ed that Stewart attempted to take
carbolic acid at the DeLillis apart
ments but was easily prevented by
bystanders. Mrs. Stewart is describ
ed as an industrious woman, and has
worked for some time past in a lo
cal restaurant as a waitress.
Jealousy is ascribed as the motive
for the shooting although she had
gone through the formality of a di-
vorce from her husband. From what
can be learned Stewart has no occu-
pation. Barring the possibility of in
fection from the wounds the physici
ans believe the woman will recover.
Mrs. Sacre of Aumsville, mother of
the wounded woman, is at her daugh
ter’s bedside.
Tebbie Stewart was arrested by a
deputy sheriff Wednesday morning
changed with a violation of his pa
role. Some time . his former wife
who shot herself this week, filed a
complaint with the county attorney
charging that Stewart had made ser
ious threats against her. Stewart was
placed under $2500 bonds to keep the
peace and after the shooting he was
arrested and now is in jail. In the
meantime the sheriff office is invest
igating.
