The drop curtain will contain paint ings of scenery, together with adver tisements of the business of the city, and will be made attractive to the public. The visitors are pleased with the city and will visit points of in terest at the beaches during their stay. More room is needed in the court house basement. That fact has been evident for some time past, owing to an overcrowded jail space; and there is no place in which to confine women prisoners where privacy would be in sured. Another reason for a neces sary readjustment of space, is the fact that the “hard-boiled” prisoners should be kept apart from “first- termers,” or those who commit petty depredations, owing to their youth or to bad company. Recently attempts have been made to saw out from the cells adjoining outside windows, and there is a demand for at least ten more cells, inoluding inside cells for the “tough ones.” The court now has under consideration some changes of the above kind, which have, it is be lieved, become absolutely necessary. While plans have not been fully work ed out, it is believed that the changes will result in the moving of the heat ing apparatus further west, and the building of more cells in the east end of the basement, with a shower bath, and other necessities. The expense of keeping women in the jails of adjoining counties is cost ly; and the safe keeping of prisoners is another important matter; as the way things are now arranged, it is possible for confederates on the out side, to pass hack saws and files into prisoners confined in the outside cells. There are no inside cells. MAY LOWER INSURANCE CURTAIN IS PAINTED FOR ARMORY STAGE COURT HOUSE JAIL NEEDS ENLARGING Irphey was arrested by officers fand Stewart, on a charge of intoxicating liquor.

POLICE CHIEF WHITE HAS PNEUMONIA NETARTS ROADWAY IN BAD CONDITION John Hunsaker of Eugene, the arch itect who drew the plans for the new armory building, was over here last Monday, and after inspecting te work on tat building formally approved the work of the contractors, which act automatically turns the armory build ing over to the state authorities. The armory, it is understood is under the management of the Oregon National guard, of which Capt. J . E. Shearer is the local official head. this Year The road from Tillamook city to Netarts was several years ago desig nated as a market road. A part of the road is all right for winter travel, but it is not standard in width, and in the summer time when travel to Netarts and Oceanside beaches is on, it becomes badly congested on ac count of the road being too narrow, and last year the congestion resulted in several bad accidents. A portion of the road, about one mile in extent leading from Tillamook river bridge to the Worthington place, is now in a woeful condition for vehicles of all kinds. This part of the road is not planked, and in many places the road is too narrow, and projections make short turns dangerous to travel at any time of the year. The whole road should be widened out, and made of standard width, and the stretch above referred to should be heavily graveled or macadamized. This is Tillamook city’s present shdftest route to the sea beach, and travel is bound to increase instead of diminish as the years roll on. The voters and property owners of road district number 9 will this year spend $3185 of special district tax on this road. It spent $2200 last year of special tax money on this road. This was outside of money from the general fund. The dairymen, mill men and beach owners realize that they must have a road that can be travelled both winter and summer, and with safety. Property owners in 1922 contribut- ed $3,000 toward the building of the road from Netarts to Oceanside, vol untarily. But today tile road from Tillamook to Netarts is spoken of as “the worst piece of road in Tillamook county.” This is no reflection on the county. It has done what it had the money to do with. The road from Netarts to Ocean side has one bad piece of road, which is the Fall creek hill, with its un pleasant number of short curves that make it dangerous. It is also dang erously steep. It is understood that a new road has been surveyed from Ne tarts to Oceanside that will cut out the Fall creek hill, and not exceed a five per cent grade from Netarts, with no sharp turns, and there is a possibility that this survey may be improved The survey leaves the main Netarts-Oceanside road just back of east Netarts, and follows along a natural pass. The people of district No. 9 also had this change in*view when they voted the special tax for 1924. All of the rest of the beach resorts that are connected up, have good roads, and it would be unfair to make the Netarts road an exception. The people of Tillamook are interested in this road, as well as thousands of tourists and people from the outside who annually want to visit all the Tillamook beaches. LEAP-YEAR WEDDINGS ARE FALLING BEHIND Cupid, the winged boy with the bow and quiver of arrows, who is supposed to make human hearts susceptible to marriage vows by inflicting arrow wounds upon them, in some myster ious way, without physical damage to the contracting parties, has been only fairly busy this week, but evi dently is waiting for the month of June to make his greatest pectoral slaughter. Two couples only have been Cupid’s victims this week, as follows: Ernest Kebbe and Gra, ■ Farmer were married by H Simpson Ham- rick at the M. E. Parsonage or, the 17th inst. Jesse Y. Woods and Dorothy V. Ix>we, were the recipients of a lie ense at th« hands of the obliging office force at th«? county clerk's office on the 25th inst, and that completes the number for this issue. As this is Leap year, it is believed that the girls are far too imxjest; or it may Ire the men are too bashful to be pro posed to. Something is wrong. The public expects a better record for Ixap Year. Several N?w Buildings will Arise at Resort this Summer 'SHORT BEACH’ BOUGHT Clean Water and Sanitation are Features of Summer Place being Developed Spring began on the 21st of the present month. Summer will come next, and with it the summer tourists. The several beaches of the county are getting ready to receive the visit ors. Over at Oceanside, last Friday, there was evidence of preparation. Two new houses were in process of erection, and many others, it is said, will be built this season. Rosenberg Brothers, owners of the big playground and beach resort, are doing initial figuring that will result in much improvement this summer. One of the important provisions for which plans have been drawn, and which may actually result, is a big natatorium on a plat of ground im- mediately facing the beach near the former site of the old Maxwell home. The Rosenbergs are figuring on the cost, and hope to put the natatorium up this spring; but if it does not come this year, it will the next, al though there are pretty fair chances that it will arise this year. The pro prietors will know definitely soon. The plans call for the erection of a one story frame building, 60x120 feet, with a bathing pool, 30x70 feet, built of reinforced concrete. The floor of the main building will also be smooth concrete, and sea-water will be pump ed in from the Pacific ocean by a gas oline engine. The building will contain shower baths, dressing rooms, the number of the latter approximating seventy. There also will be concession spaces, an office and a balcony for spectators. The interior of the building will be made attractive by the addition of decorations and rustic work, and pos sibly a cascade at the south end of the tank. The cost of the building has not been definitely figured as yet, but its construction will represent a good sized sum. That it will prove a drawing card for the beach goes without the saying. In addition to the main building, there will be added a fire-proof heat ing plant, 24x36 feet. A new “shoot the chutes,” 100 feet in length for both adults and child ren will be added to the other similar forms of amusement already on the children’s playground, which proved such a popular provision last year. Another improvement will be a new (Continued on page 8) GARIBALDI WOMAN IS HURT IN WRECK A B. Curtis and wife of Garibaldi had an exciting experience last Sat urday night on their way home from this city in their auto. They hid arrived at a point south of the Miami between the railroad track and bridge, when a car containing a young man and three women, ran into them, smashing the Curtis auto into a mass of wreckage, and severely injuring Mrs. Curtis about the head and eyes, and inflicting bruises upon Mr. Curtis. The a< < ident occurred between 10 and 11 o’clock at night. The young man and women got out of the car anil according to Mr Curtis used very abusive language toward the Curtises, but did not offer to aid Mrs. Curtis, who at first thought she had lost her eyesight. Another automobile, how ever, came along and took the injured woman to a drug store in Garibaldi, where hir injuries were attended to. As it was dark, Mr. Curtis w v not able to identify the occupants of the other car which it seemed to him was reckiessly driven. Mr. Curtis believer that the occupants of the other car were under the influence of liquor. Some interesting developments are expected, as an aftermath of the matter.
