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.

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

Simpson Ham-
rick at the M. E. Parsonage or, the

Jesse Y. Woods and Dorothy V.

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

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

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.
