from Nehalem bay to Tillamook bay
and return,
and thought it fine
sport. Last Friday while crossing
the bar of the later bay, they met a
huge wave which capsized their boat
turning it upside down with the

BRIDGE STEEL HERE
FOR NEHALEM WORK
A part of the steel for the Nehalem
bridge has arrived, and workmen are
putting it in place on that structure.
The remainder of the ateel, it is be­
lieved, will soon follow. The steel
has been delayed for a cosiderable
time, and has held the work of finish­
ing the bridge up for some weaiu.
Both approaches and piers of the
new bridge are in. and when some fills
at either end of the bridge are done,
and the balance of the steel has been
placed the bridge will be ready for
travel. The new dyke road between
Nehalem and Wtieeier will, however,
not be ready for travel for some
time yet, states County •urveyvr
Coatee, as the overhead cro sings on
the south end of the toad over the
Southern Pacific railroad will have
to I m - built. Thia road, when com­
pleted, will connect the townt of
Wheeler ami Nehalem wth a fine
road, and will later become a link of
the Roosevelt highway via the tieach
route, and will cut down the distance
from Tillamook to Seaside to a con­
siderable extent.
POLK CO. WIZARD
RIVAL TO BURBANK
A sleek looking individual, wearing
leather puttees, a corduroy suit, and
Astoria Odd Fellows to build new a flowing Windsor tie, in which was
temple.
stuck what might have been a fairly
good imitation of a paste diamond,
sat in the corridor of a local hotel,
one day last week, talking to a far­
mer tourist The reporter tuned his
radio, and waited:
“Say, fellow, I don’t know you from
Adam's off ox, but I’m telling you
that I've got Lucifer Burbank skin­
ned a country block, when it comes to
tree propagation. I've read every­
thing Burbank ever wrote, and I’ve
seen that bird down on his farm in
California, and have talked with him;
and he admitted to me that I had him
faded when it came to crossing trees.
Why. say, fellow, I can take a com­
mon oak grub tree and cross it with
a pear tree and in two years I’ll have
pears growing along with the oak
puff balls: You may think that’s go­
ing some, but my method can cross a
hasel switch with a devil’s walking
stick and get a two bushel basket full
of bananas,—’’
Just then a ¿all, angular woman
with a determined look came into the
hotel, paused in front of the wizard
and eyed him truculently.
“Up to your old tricks of telling
how you have got Luther Burbank
faded, I’ll bet,” she said laughing in
a harsh tone of voice.
"Are you ready to go, Evangeline,”
asked the wizard meekly, rising from
his chair.
“I’ve been sitting out there in that
old Lizzie for an hour, waiting for
you; and if you don't get out and
tune up that car and get us over to
the beach, I’ll do a little stunt of
seeing how far I can throw you out
into the middle of the street,
the woman angrily.
•
“I’m coming right now,” said the
tree wizard, going toward the door
The woman, laughed, stepped closer
to the little knot of chair warmers,
and said:
“Don’t you believe one word that
bird told you. He is the champion
liar of Polk county, and is so lazy
that I have to lick him morning and
evenings to get him to slop the hogs
and milk two cows. If I’d known
how to drive that Lizzy, I’d have left
the cheap skate at home, and come
alone. I got him through a mat­
rimonial pa(>er, but lord, how I got
bunked.”
Then she gave an Amazonian flirt,
and vanished through the hotel door.
WILSON WATER UNFIT,
STATE DIRECTORS
A notice was published in the last
issue of this paper over the signature
of the directors of the Fairview
Water District in which the users
were “warned against using the water
in the preparation of uncooked foods,
or for drinking purposes without first
boiling the water.”
The water for the association conies
from Hughey creek, a mountain
stream, which supplies the people of
the Fairview district, the center of
which is about two miles east of
town. So far as reported, no sick­
ness has resulted to the 100 users of
the water, but it is said that the com-
missioners will clean out the reser­
voir and take other precautons to
prevent contamination. At th! time
of year, when the water supply is
low, many insects get into the water,
also dead leaves and other detached
vegetable matter, and this has to be
looked after. It is said that a good
rain would wash all this stuff away.
It is stated by the commissi
that
the water is normally pure and whole
some, but the notice was given at the
instance of the state board deputy,
as a precautonary measure until the
reservoir can be cleared of a p ible
collection of vegetable and otlu mat­
ter which is a result of the cha ire of
the season and low water. It
aid
that no trouble has been expe ncid
with this water in the past.
