In the north end of the county good progress is reported on the state highway between Mohler and Clat sop county line. Rock has been laid from the Clatsop line south to the God's valley junction, The work is progressing southward 2 1-2 miles from the county line. The steam shov el is operating 1 1-2 miles south of the God’s valley road juntion with the main highway. This leaves less than a mile of road to be completed on the whole job, and there will be about two and three-fourths miles of rock ing to complete. The Nehalem Wheeler road is being rocked from the town of Nehalem to the bridge Work on the big bridge has been stopped on account of the delay in getting the steel for the bridge, the remainder of the work having been done long ago. On the Bayocean road, the govern ment dredger has about 10 days more work to do in filling in behind the piling bulkheads and that will, so far as known, wind up work on that road for this year though many people are hoping that sufficient funds will be forthcoming for the completion of the Bayocean road next year.

"I believe that Tillamook has re ceived more advertising from the Na tional Guard company than it has from cheese lately,” said General White at the meeting Tuesday. “Peo ple all over the state are wondering what kind of soldiers live down here that can turn out such a successful company in such a short time. The success of Company K has been phe nomenal.” ______________________ Responsible for Enriching the County's Coffers V Tillamook county received in fines from al) sources during the month of .July, cash to the amount of $1068.90.

BOOZE DISPENSERS " CONTRIBUTE MONEY □[ None Injured in What Might Have Been Brighton-Jetty Road Again On Very South Highway COMMISSION MAY ACT to Bids Offered on Two Bridges be Erected Part of in Southern ('County Commissioners Alley and Richards attended a meeting of the state high way commission at Portland last Mon day. They had a conference with the commission about the uncompleted gap in the Roosevelt highway between Brighton and Jetty creek and were in formed that the Public Service Com mission would take up the matter be tween the Southern Pacific company and the State Highway commission early next month and that at its con clusion, the commission would be in position to give the county court some definite information concerning the completion of the beach road to Brighton. If the matter can be set tled satisfactorily to the state high way commission and the railroad com pany it is believed that the former will be ready to take action looking to the completion of the uncompleted portion of the road. It would seem Jhat the matter is drawing to a con clusion whon the commission will be free to act. Mallory & Fletcher, the contractors presented the lowest bids on both the Little Nestuccn drawbridge and the Hebo bridge and the commissioners believe that their bid will be accept ed by the slate highway commission. Both bridges are in the southern part of the county. AUTO CONFISCATED UNDER STATE LAW • E. M. Stout of this city, while go ing south on the highway last Satur day evening was hit by a car driven by P. S. Brumby, 615 east 61st street Portland, at what is known as the Fleck turn, about 7 miles south of Till amook. Stout had just got inside of the railing when the other car came along and failed to make the turn in time crashing into the Stout auto, and badly smashing it. Mr. Stout hung on to the wheel and states that otherwise he would have been thrown out. Both hub caps on one side of the car were sheared off, the running board torn off, fender smash ed and other damage done. The steer ing rod was nearly twisted off, and minor bruises were sustained by Mr. Stout. So far as known no one was injured in the other car which con tained Mr. Brumby, two women, two children and another man. The Brum by car was coming toward Tillamook There were several witnesses to the accident. ANCIENT OFFEDER SETTLES HIS DEBT Ralph W. Keppler, who was Treat ed about a year ago at Pacifi City charged with three offenses against the peace and dignity of the State of O.egon, viz: Possession of liquor, car- r a concealed weapon and selling aquor, and who was heavily fined on the first two charges, appealed from the decision of the Justice’s court to the Circuit court. The higher court fined him $500 and gave him a jail sentence of 6 months but upon pay ment of $250 and an agreement to pay about $100 more he was paroled as to the remainder of the fine and the jail sentence. Instead of remem- baring his compact with the state Kep pier dropped from sight but not from the memory of the Tillamook auth orities. Recently Sheriff Aschim went out to Portland to take “a look-see.” He spotted the delinquent on the streets and had him placed in the Multnomah county jail until he made arrangements to pungle the delin quent dinero. He later pungled. Tillamook county has just confis cated its first automobile under the new law that went into effect a cou ple of months ago. The machine has been sold and the money goes to the county to help pay expense of local government. Sheriff Aschim believes that Tillamook county has been the first county in the state to confiscate an automobile under the new law, al though the general government has been cotifiscatirfr autos for some time. Verily, he that getteth lull on moon The Southern Pacific company has shine and getteth caught, payeth initiated a suit in this county in cir much tug money and also loseth his cuit court against the Tillamook go-cart. Lumber Company, the plant and hold ings of which were recently sold to the Tillamook Spruce Co. The suit is an outgrowth of this shipment of 17 cars of common spruce from this county to Sacramento, Cal., and from there to Almeda, which the consignee refused to accept. This occurred in 1920. The railroad company sold the lumber and now claims $7,106.16 against the lumber company for freight and demurrage.

Some time ago, the members of the Till amook county court went ovdr to Hills boro and met with the county court in Washington county. At that time it was agreed that the two counties would combine on a survey of the Wil son river road with the idea of finding out whether or not a route can be dis covered that would give a practical five per cent grade or less that would meet the specifications and require ments of the state highway commis sion. As surveyor Coates was not in a position to take time to engage in the work it was decided that a party be equipped in Washington county un der the direction of Mr. Hobbs, a sur veyor of experience, and put in the field. The plan was to put in a month surveying on the Wilson river road and at the end of that time to take up the Cherry Grove-Trask cut off, and seek a short route of a not greater than five per cent grade from the Washington county town to the north fork of the Trask, thence down that stream to a junction with the old Trask road. It is understood that the latter route will be explored by the above named party this summer and if it meets with the approval of the two corinties, there is a strong possi bility that this route will be selected for improvement as a state road. It is believed by Judge Mason that this last named route can be made the shortest route from Portland to the (Continued on Page 6) we., ----- —------------- ■ TILLAMOOK LBR. CO. N. W.
