FRIDAY. AUGUST 24, 1923
WHEN « ll.l. THEY
LEARN?
Some time ago there drifted into
town ori' George T. Wilson, a nonde
script adventurer from parts un
known, who after some smooth per
suasion, inveigled officers of the local
American Legion post to make some
money for him. All he wanted was
for the Legion men to be cats paws to
drag Wilson’s chestnuts out of the
fire; a wonderful show was to be put
on. Local people were to do all the
work ami Wilson was to collect the
money. A very fine scheme. It is
true that the Legion was offered a
small i oinmision for being allowed to
work for this man Wilson. This small
monetary sop was expected to sat
isfy the ex-soldiers to the extent of
making them enthusiastic boosters for
Wilson's show.
Wilson appears to use the methods
of a cheap grafter.. One of his most
disgusting tricks was to be observed
during the memorial services held for
President Harding the early part of
thi month. During the services Wil
son wa introduced on the rostrum as
the director of this wonderful show
that was to be put on, and he was
greatly lauded for his ability. After
th. in’ eduction this eighth wonder of
have been composed by himself for the
th. w, i.d tang a song supposed to
occasion, but no one who heard it
could figure out just where the con-
nectioi was between a memorial ser-
vic f<. a dead president and Wilson’s
wng. This was nothing but cheap ad
vertising—at a funeral service.
Tillamook people like to be stung.
On. of their chief delights is to have
some cheap grafter come here and
feather his nest with the earnings of
th' easy people from the cheese coun
try. It would seem after a few more
of these events that a light would
dawn upon the people of this prosper
ous little valley to the extent that
they hereafter will be able to discern
between true ability and cheap pub
licity.
It is to be wondered at that such a
man as Wilson claims to be should
have to come to a small, out-of-the-
way place like Tillamook to produce
his stuff.
NEGLIGENT IN DUTY
On another page there is mention
the fact that the local national guard
unit was the only one in the state of
Oregon which particiqated as an or
ganization in the memorial service
held for the late President Harding
•ome time ago. It is with somewhat
of a shock that one realizes that, out
of something like thirty military units
in the tate, only one took the trouble
to show respect to their dead Com-
mander-in-Chlef. In fact, this indol
ence, or indifference, or whatever it
may b<-, of the other organizations, is
disgusting and causes the average
citizen to lose i»tr’ of his respect for
Oregon’s citizen soldiery.
Local people may point with pride
•e their 100 per cent national guard
company, always ready to do the right
thing and to be where they are needed

A hair tonic has been concocted
that had enormous sales recently. It
was the most popular hair restorer
ever placed upon the market, and was
strong enough to grow hair on a saw
mill smokestack. Four big warehouse
of Chicago were filled with it, and
thousands of testimonials came in un
solicited testifying to its etlicacy to
“hit the right spot.” It was was only
95 per cent alcohol and had a kick
when taken for"what ailed him” more
powerful than that of a loose-jointed
Missouri mule. Unfortunately for the
“satisfied customers” the government
agents got a bottle and had it tested,
and the chemist couldn’t find much
room for hair tonic in it----- only
about five per cent of the latter space
being available. But just now this
particular brand of hair tonic is no
longer on the market in Chicago.
Thos. Rogers, the author aud hum
orous writer of McMinnville who
spends his vacations on the Tillamook
beach, made a plea in last Friday’s
Oregonian for the Netarts clam, and
its cousin, the mussel. Tom wants
them protected the same as fish and
game birds. Otherwise, he Mates,
they will soon he gone. Tie notes that
the razor clam has already folded its
shells and gone----- where he doesn’t
say, but it is supposed that it has
gone down the gullets of the tourists,
and the home-guard. Anyhow, the
razor clam is scarce on Netarts bay,
but there are a few billions of other
kinds onthe bay that are practically
just as good, while the razor clam is
found in considerable numbers along
the ocean beaches. It is not, however,
as plentiful as it once was. It seems
funny in a way to protect the clam
from any one except the clam canner
ies, when thousands of dollars are
yearly being expended in hatching
salmon eggs principally in the inter
est of the big salmon canneries at the
nuiuth of the Columbiu, who are de
stroying millions of that fish species
by seining and canning for commerc
ial purposes, each year. The fish
that have their range along our
county coast and in our rivers at cer
tain times of the year , belong to us.
Hut the big cannerymen, and seiners
who work for them in the Columbia,
get most of them. The clams are it
beach attraction here, and while a cet
tain species, like the razor variety,
might be protected, the other kinds
should be available for the use of the
tourist and the home-guard, as th.
mud-clams are not in danger of be
coming extinct for some time to come,
considering the present drain on the
supply. The clam is for the use of the
masses; and same way may be said of
the salmon.
But our legislature
seems to think that the salmon all be
long to the Columbia river salmon
canneries, and the small bay fisher
men are heavily taxed, and large sums
of the peoples money is spent annual
ly to raise salmon in the interests of
a few individuals. This article is
merely a contention for the old axiom,
"The greatest good to the greatest
number.” Hut the cannery lobby nt
the legisln’ure has u convincing way,
’tin said.

the woods will be alive with hunters
of the wary buck. Each sportsman is
entitled to kill two buck deer, provid
ed he has a hunting license for the
year in which he hunts. It is a good
idea for hunters to wear a red ban
danna handkerchief, or some other
bright color while out in the woods, to
distinguish the human species from
the animal, as many new hunters are
a litle bit over-anxious and up on
their nerves, and while in that con
dition are sometimes prone to fire at
any object seen moving in the woods
or brush. Hut don’t do it. Know pos
itively what you are shooting at, or]
you may live to regret the taking of a
human life. The brush in the coast
section makes it exceedingly difficult
to get deer, as a couple of jumps will
lake them to cover. Many hunter« of
this city are out in the woods looking
for game, and others are pluryiing
later trips, when the city sport is not
so conspicuous. Each year usually
records u number of deaths in this
state from accidental shooting, with
other men as the targets; but there is
a chance for the shooter to spend
some time in the penitentiary for be
ing too quick on the trigger.

“A CHANGE OF AVENUE"
“I hear they are going to get a

grinned clear back to their ears.

STRANGE LIGHTENING
FLASHES OVER CITY
Last Wednesday night was rather
foggy. About eight o’clock strange
flashes of white light, resembling
those made by an eletric search
light began to appear above the city
with mysterious regularity. Hun
dreds of people noted the phenomenon
and various speculations were brought
forward to account for it, including
the searchlight of a man-of-war off
the coast, the light of an airship and
even the Nothern lights were cited as
being possible causes. About three

and went crashing through the brush
to the side of the road. Butler did not
get the deer for two reasons: He did
not have a gun, and the closed season
on deer would not be out until the
following Monday. That is what
might be termed hard luck.
