Expenditure
As an aftermath of the meeting
held in this city last fall regarding
the federal help in port improvements
for Tillamook bay a statement was
issued from the board of engineers
for rivers and harbors at Washing­
ton, D. C., to the effect that that
body does not see fit to follow the rec­
ommendations of the district engin­
eer that a preliminary survey be
made of this project. The higher au­
thorities are under the impression
that sufficient benefits would not re­
sult from the improvement. Says the
report:
“The work heretofore undertaken
by the Government, with the co-opera­
tion of local interests has provided a
channel across the bar at the mouth
of Tillamook bay adequate for mod­
erate nixed vessels and giving access
to a deep water area within 'he bay
where such vessels may receive car­
goes by lighter. The provision of an
improved channel from this deep wa­
ter area to the water fronts of ex­
isting of prospective lumber mills at
Garibaldi. Hobsonville and Bay City
apparently would not result in fur­
ther reductions of freight rates, in­
crease in commerce or other general
benefits sufficient to compensate the
government for the high cost of dredg
mg and maintaining such a channel.”
The report further says that a
hearing may be set, if desired at
Washington within thirty days for
arguments and statements bearing up
on the necessity for the improvements

MAN APPREHENDED
AFTER BEING PAROLED
Sam Lundberg was arrested by the
sheriff this week and paid a cash fine
of $600 to the county. Some time ago
Lundborg was convicted in a liquor
case and after paying a fine was pa­
roled by Judge Bagley as to $500 of
the fine and released. Recently Judge
Bagley revoked the parole resulting
in the apprehension of Lundborg and
payment of the paroled fine to the cof
fers of the county.

The county fair board met at the
office of VX. D. Pine last Tuesday fore
noon and was in session some itme, ar
ranging with Manager Pine for the
forthcoming fair, which meets on Sep
tember 11, continuing to and inclusive
of the 14th. The board seemed par­
ticularly anxious that the business
men of the city shall have exhibits at
the fair, and have asked them to co­
operate to make the fair a greater
success. It is believed that many will
have booths this year, as a number
have already signified their intention
of exhibiting.
The amusements will include a mer-
ry-go-round and show attractions,
horse races, military maneuvers a min
iature fish hatchery in operation, a
fox farm, and various other features
to attract attention of he fair goers.
The exhibit of stock it is believed
wlli be the largest ever held in this
county. Beside a pure bred bull and
his daughters, will be shown a scrub
bull and his get, so that one can
make a comparison of what breeding
and testing methods have done for the
dairy stock of the county.

should interest all lovers of fine stock

VANDALS DAMAGE
CO. FAIR PROPERTY
A visit to the fair grounds one duy
this week disclosed the fact that at
sometime during the early summer,
vandals have smashed out a number
of windows and wrecked other furni­
ture and fixtures on the fair grounds.
County Agent Pine places the dam­
age at from $150 to $200 Efforts are
being made to apprehend the culprits
who are believed to be youths, from
the hcaracter of the damage done, and
should they be discovered they will be
severely dealt with, as their destruct­
ive work shows downright malicious­
ness.
