Some time ago, the Cadmean cha
tauqua of Kansas City sued a number
of citizens of this city for what it
termed a breach of contract. The cit
izens who signed up for the chatau
qua offered to compromise with the
company, and the show people were
willing, but wanted a greater sum
than the local people felt they should
pay, inasmuch as they receive no
benefit.
The suit was commenced in Linn
county and the chatauqua concern
filed a complaint, which allegations
were denied in an answer by local
attorneys.
The Chatauqua people
then made answer to the denial, and
there the matter hangs at the pres
ent, the Linn county circuit judge not
having passed on the matter.
In case the judge declares that the
case must go to trial, the Tillamook
counsel will move for a change of
venue, setting up that it will entail
a big expense for 10& witnesses to
go from Tillamook to Albany and
will therefore ask for a change of
venue to this county.

Armistice day will be observed in
Tillamook on Sunday, November 1T,
a week from the coming Sunday, at
the city hall. The American Legion
will have charge of the exercises, and
will be assisted by the various fra
ternal and civic societies of-this city,
who are expected to participate.
The Adjutant General has request
ed that the national guard cooperate
with the various organizations of the
city in observance of the day. On
this occasion the principal speaker
will be K. K Kubli of Portland, late '
speaker of the Oregon house of rep
resentatives. “Kap” Kubli is an able i
speaker, and will have a message for ■
his audience.
He is moreover, a
native son of Oregon, having been i
born in Southern Oregon of pioneer
stock. On this occasion company K, .
162nd Infantry, will appear in com
pany formation, and march through
the streets. A good program is be
ing prepared and the day should be
one of interest for all.
At 2:30 last Saturday the Knights
of Pythias formally dedicated the new
$100,000 school building at this place.
About one hundred and fifty men, wo
men and children were present at the
dedicatory exercises, which were wor
thy of a larger audience.
The first thing on the program
was the Star Spangled Banner, sung
by the audience. Grand Chancellor,
C. W. Barrick then conducted the ded
icatory ceremony, which was impres
sive from the standpoint of patriot
ism and interest in education.

F. HEYD’S CONDITION
NO BETTER, REPORT
Several friends, including Frank
Merrick, went out to Portland last
Sunday to see Frank Heyd, who has
been quite ill at a sanitarium near
Portland for some weeks past, Mrs.
Heyd was called to the bedside of her
husband the latter part of the week.
It is understood that Mr. Heyd's
condition is not improved and that
an o|>erHtion has been recommended
by his physicians, which is expected
to take place soon.
A. H. Gaylord visited Portland last
Saturday, where he met a sister, Mrs.
Emily Ferrell, of Chicago, Illinois.
Mrs. Ferrell returned to this city the
same day with her brother whom she
had not seen for a period of over
twenty-five years. Mrs. Ferrell plans
on an extended visit with the Gay
lords and other relatives in this state.

PLACE HELD SANITARY
Advancement of Tillamook Beaches
Just Begun, With More
x
Popularity
A bright cloudless October day with
just enough of fall suggestion in it to
make one feel buoyant, was last Fri-
day, when with J. H. Rosenberg, A.
II. Allen and J. P. Kerth, the latter
two, Portland business men, and a
Headlight reporter paid a visit to
Oceanside, the growing and popular
beach resort at Maxwell point. The
drive from Tillamook which led
through a scenic route to Netarts,
where the board and macadam road
way wound in pleasing curves through
hills bordered on either side by the
foliage of the lofty spruce and hem
lock forest was exhiliarating and al
together expressive of the mild cli
mate and concrete coast charm.
Through the camps at Netarts,
where a beautiful view of that bay is
afforded, on, by the beach route over
hard packed sand where there is no
law against swift driving, the two
miles intervening between Netarts
and Oceanside was soon covered. The
attractivenes of Oceanside begins
when the granite colored walls of
Maxwell point and the towering Sea
Lion rocks come in view.
On the hillside up from the beach is
the little city of Oceanside, nestling
like a gem in its setting of emerald
green background and environment of
groves and pleasing open spaces. To
the west is the mighty tide of the
Pacific, whose surges ceaselessly roll
landward an incarnation of perpet
ual motion; breaking upon the rocks
and scattering spray, and Creeping
over the sands of the beach like some
aggressive, animate thing, that, halt
ed in its course, turns back, like a
defeated warrior, and goes back to re
form and repeat it’s assualt, unterri
fied and undaunted by repulse. Away
out seaward, white caps rise and fall,
and mingle with the lfaze, and are
lost to view. Beyond that is another
world, to which the land-bound human
has no access.
From Maxwell point an elevation
of 150 feet above the sea-level a fine
view of the coast line southward is
had, until shut out by the extended
elevation, called Cape Lookout. But
that does not prevent one from seeing
the ocean for a distance of at least
twenty miles up and down the coast.
When last seen by the writer,
Oceanside contained two houses, but
the charm of location was there. Now
it has something like thirty new build
ings and has enjoyed a wonderful
patronage for so new a resort during
the past summer. There is no doubt
about its future. It has one of the
finest natural locations, and that is
enough upon which to predicate suc
cess. It is destined to be one of the
best and largest resorts along the
Oregon coast. Of the new summer
homes built there a number have run

HOLDING SESSION
The conservation tax committee ap
pointed by Governoi Pierce in accord
ance with a law passed by the last
legislature, was in session last Tues
day in the Goyne building, having tin
county budget for 11)1-4 under consid
elation. The members are Thoma
B Watt of Brighton, Wm. MaxweP
of Tillamook, ami Frank Owens ot
Cloverdale.
It is understood that the county
court finished its work on the budge
last Monday, and its recommendation
will have to be finally decided upoi
by the tax commission which, i
seems, has the last say on such
matters.
