OPEN BRIGHTON BIDS
Cloverdale Bridge Reported to be In
Bad Condition and Will
Need Replacing
With curtailed amount road work
for this year the present season’s
construction and repair has got well
under way.
Supervisor E. J. Schelling has a
crew widening one of the fills on the
Netarts road and county Engineer W.
S. Coates is preparing plans for ad
vertising for section of the Bayocean
road. Jack Brown, bridge engineer,
has a crew prepairing what is known
as the Illingsworth bridge, on the
Wilson river.
Bids for the Jetty-Brighton stretch
of the Roosevelt highway were to have
been opened yesterday at Portland.
This is the last segment of the high
way to be made in this county, all
the rest having been constructed and
under the care of the state.
Three crews are at work on the
Sandlake road, and a rock crusher
has been started on East Beaver creek
which will soon be in operation.
The Beaver-Blaine road is being
widened with the aid of a steam shov
el, which is also excavating for the
emplacement of a rock crusher about
six miles above Beaver.
It is reported that the bridge at
Cloverdale will probably have to be
replaced soon with another structure.
The Pacific City road is said to be
in a better condition than ever before
known.
Hives Dying .
H. A. Scullen, of the staff of thé
Oregon Agricultural college, went to
Nehalem Saturday with County Agent
Pine where they held a meeting at
the Union high school where Mr.
Scullen lectured on the keeping and
care of bees.
From this meeting Mr. Scullen and
Mr. Pine went to visit several farms
in the vicinity which keep bees.
In the past few years over sixty
pér cent of the bees in the north
end of the county have died, After
investigation Mr. Scullen discovered
that this was caused by a complica
tion of European and American foul
broods. An inspector for the north
end of Tillamook county was recom
mended, who would clean up these
broods.
Mr. Scullen stated that Tillamook
county had great possibilities as a
bee country, as the burned over land
here produced much fire weed, which
is the best honey producing plant
know on the Pacific Coast. Until the
foul broods are destroyed, however,
the bee expert said, there was know
use trying to concentrate on bees in
Tillamook.

Tillamook Creamery Sends Milk to

Over Supply
—
■
The cheese market is reported as
not likely to go any lower that 24
cents, Tillamook, because to date 7206
boxes have been sold for storage and
not delivered. This will take care
of the surplus stock for several weeks
to come. Wisconsin showed an ad
vance last week, longhorns now be
ing quoted at 17 1-4 cents and daisies
at 17 7-8 cents. While this is 3 cents
lower than last year, it is 2 cents
higher than the low price reached on
April 16, this year.
It will be pleasing to the dairymen
of Tillamook to feel that cheese will
not go below 24 cents Tillamook, as
that will show a fair average price
for the season.
Milk receipts at the various factor-
ies are heavier than ever before, and
the Tillamook creamery has had to
and milk to the South Prairie, Maple
Leaf, Holstein, and Fairview factories.
It is still getting nearly 37,000 pounds
of milk daily. Maple Leaf and Hol
stein are each getting about 32,000
pounds, and South Prairie, 24,500
pounds daily.
Checks for March milk are out this
week. The prices range around 58
cents for butter fat at the largest
factories. This price was paid at Red
Clover, South Prairie, Clover Leaf,
Holstein, Tillamook, Mohler, and
Cloverdale.

When
Hooks are Caught
A fatal accident occurred at Cape
Kiwanda, near Pacific City Tuesday
when Roy E. Welch and Robin Col
well were swept off the rocks by an
immense wave while fishing, and
drowned in the surf.
The men were fishing together from
a high rock when the hook they were
using became entangled at the base of
the rock. One of them climbed down
to free it and the other soon followed
to assist him. A large wave which
.neither of them saw struck them and
carried them out into the seething
surf. Both attempted to swim ashore
but it was impossible for them to
keep afloat in the pounding waves.
It is said that relatives of the men

was manager of the Associated Oil
station. Colwell is survived by his
widow and one child who were with
him at Pacific City at the time of the
accident.
The body of Welch was recovered,
but search failed to reveal any trace
of Colwell's body.
