mission was granted by the council.
City Attorney Hall and Thus Coates
fire chief, were appointed a commit
tee to report a new fire ordinance
which would specify the kiml of build
ing construction to be used in the
several parts of the city, the present
blanket ordinance having outlived its
usefulness during the growth of the
city.
Councilman Brimhali called atten
tion to complaints that had come to
him and to other members of the
council regarding sprinkling.
Cer
tain days ure given for sprinkling
east and west of Stillwell avenue;
three days of each week being allot
ted to people on each side of the line.
Complaints have been made that there
are people on both sides who sprin
kle all the time. This division of time
for sprinkling is made each summer
when wuter is low, and is directly in
the interests of the water pressure of
the fire department as the pressure is
always low during July and August.
The council thought that the matter of
complaints of the misuse of water
was up to the water commission and
that complaints should be made to
the water commission who have con
trol of that branch of city service.
Another matter which Mr. Brimhall
spoke about was the unsanitary con
dition of the municipal camp ground
describing the outoward conditional in
detail. He said the camp' was sup
posed to he under the care and supei
vision of the .Boy Scouts. The rec
ord book had some “thank yous” and
one or two sarcastic entries that told
of dissatisfaction of campers with the
conditions about the camp. The coun
cilman said he had made severul trips
to the camp hut had never found any
Boy Scout around the premises. The
Mayor promised to take up the mat
ter personally with the Boy Scouts.
It was councilman Brimhall's night
to talk and he brought up still anoth
er matter which had direct reference
to the city marshal, Cecil Iainib. His
remarks were as follows:
“In the matter of the appointment
of Cecil I-amb, nephew of Mrs. J.
Merle Smith, Mayor of this city, the
appointment is very unsatisfactory.
Not one of the business men of the
city is pleased with the appointment.
Complaints have been tiled with dif
ferent members of the council as to
the manner and attitude of this young
fellow, who is absolutely ignorant of
the ordinances and their application,
as such as should be enforced in the
city of Tillamook. One main reason
given by several who have expressed
themselves is that the appointment is
directly contrary to he provisions of
the city charter, which says: ‘That a
marshal shall be a taxpayer and a
qualified elector,’ and the young man
cannot qualify in either instance, but
in spite of ull this, the Mayor persists
in keeping him on the job.. The
taxpayers of Tillamook City are pay
ing for young Lamb’s services and
they sincerely feel that if they do
this, they are entitled to the services
of some one who is in every way qual
ified and in whom they will have im
plicit confidence, trust and respect for.
My only desire is to conserve the very
best interests of the people of Tilla
mook, whom we are elected to serve.
It does not seem right to me nor can
I, after looking things squarely in the
face, just as they are, approve of the
action of the Mayor in keeping young
Lamb on the job.”
“An impression prevails through
out the city that the council is respon
sible for keeping young Lamb on the
job, when the truth is absolutely to
the contrary, as the Mayor has the
whole matter in charge.”
At the conclusion of councilman
Brimhall’s statement, the Mayor said
in substance:
“That no complaints had personally
come to him: and that he believed
that has appointee was qualified for
the position. Until some complaints
had come to him, he. would be slow
to make any change in the office of
Chief of Police."
A motion was carried that the city
marshal see that no more wood of any
kind be allowed to be hauled on the
streets, except wholly on wheels and
not dragged on the pavement.
Council then adjourned.

dence was falling down as regards
efficiency and personnel, and after a
trial period, the adjutant general,
George A. White, decided to remove
the oganization from that place and
award it to Tillamook. This was done
August 1, 1922, when a sufficient num
ber of men had been secured locally
and wht sworn Into the state and
federal service as citizen soldiery.
The popular Legion commander was
elected commanding officer of Com
pany K, 162d Infantry as it was des
ignated, and Captain Shearer has prov
en his ability in more ways than in
obtaining armories. The fame of
Company K as a military unit has
spread all over the state on account
of the remarkable records it has made
for drill, efficiency and attendance.
The second fortunate circumstance
was that Independence had already
been given an appropriation by the
state legislature for an armory pur
pose but had not yet used it. At the
last session of the legislature Sena

R. W. Watson managed in spite of

age. They were ably assisted in this
work by General White. All this hap
pened while the state governing body
was undergoing one of ¡¿^peculiar
economy spells and had aflRnpted in
every way to injure the efficiency of
the Oregon military units.
After some delay the plans were
prepared by John Hunzicker, Eugene
architect; whr> t>ag planned severed
buildings for the state, and bids were
called for. The first reading of the
bids failed to bring any results other
than that it was found that the build
ing which Tillamook wanted could not
be built for the money provided.
Much scheming took place and finally
a way was found out of the difficulties
by having a number of private citi
zens pledge $3200 toward the expens
es of the building and cutting down
some of the parts which could be com
pleted later. Bids were called for a
second time, which resulted more suc
cessfully than at first. It is expect
ed that construction will start on the
building within a very short time and
that it will be completed by the early
spring.
The new state armory will be 108x
157 with the smaller dimension front
ing on Third street west. It will con
tain a drill hall *10x108 feet on the
first floor, beside which this floor will
contain an American Legion room,
company room, supply room, company
officer’s room, lobby and hall, The
second floor will have the gallery
around three sides of the building and
a captain’s room, The basement will
contain a banquet room and kitchen,
boiler and fuel room, armorer’s room,
club room, dressing rooms, rest room,
toilets and shower baths. There will
be a stage in the north side of the
drill hall.

“MAN”
“A man's life is full of crosses
temptations. He comes into
world without his consent, and goes
out against his will and the trip be
tween the two is exceedingly rocky.
The rule of contraries is one of the
features of the trip. If he is poor, he
is a bad manager, if he is rich he is
dishonest. If he needs credit he
can’t get it if he is prosperous every
one wants to do for him. If he is in
politics it”s for the pie, if he is out of
politics you can't find a place for him,
and he is no good for his country.
If he doesn’t give to charity he is
stingy, if he does it's for show.
If he is actively religious he is a
hypocrite, if he takes no interest in re
ligion he is a hardened sinner.
If he gives affection he is a soft
specimen, if he seems to care for no
one he is cold-blooded.
If he dies young there was a great
future before him, if he lives to old
age he has missed his calling.
The road is rocky, but man loves to
travel it.”
