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 JERSEY CATTLE CLUB MEETS AT FAIRVIEW The county Jersey Cattle club met last Thursday, Aug. 2 at the Fair­ view grange hall and a calf club meet­ ing was held at the same place and the same time. The club held an elec­ tion, with the following result: Jos. Williams, president; Mrs. Wm. Max­ well, vice president; secretary Mrs. Rose Crawford. A committee was ap­ pointed to look after the Jersey cat­ tle exhibit at the county fair. Five club directors were elected at the meeting to serve during the ensuing year, The club will hold another aim- ilar meeting on Aug. 31 next.

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. BUILDING Number of Amusements Already Arranged for by Fair Board CLUBS TO BE THERE Record Breaking Attendance Expect ed ut FFair from all Parts of the State of Oregon 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. This should interest all lovers of fine stock and show the value of testing and Congregatoli Basement 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.

LOCAL GUARDSMAN RECEIVES CITATION (Continued on page 6. column2) Capt. J. E. Shearer of this city has just received a letter from Adjutant General Geo. A. White, head of the O. N. G., in which he is cited by that officer “for efficient service performed in the duty assigned you at Camp of Field Instruction at Camp Lewis.” Continuing, the letter says: “I wish to commend you for your contribution to the exceptional success of the camp. It was only by such devotion to ser­ vice as you displayed tha our troops were enabled to make the outstanding record credited to them for the 1923 camp.” Capt. Shearer was appointed Divi­ sion Sanitary Inspector at the recent gathering of state troops at Camp Lewis and the above letter from Gen. White voices his appreciation of the captain's services at that time.
