Camp Lewis, Wn. (Special)—Twen­
ty-four Company K men and one
officer formed a detachment to go on
the trip to Rainier national park last
Saturday and Sunday with other units
of the Oregon national guard. All
those who went report a very pleas­
ant time with the exception of the
long ride in trucks to and from the
park, eight hours each waF
Sight seeing among the snow
banks, glaciers and tamed “wild ani­
mals’’ occupied the time of the men
all of Sunday morning. This week­
end another detachment will probably
be sent on the same trip, as it was
impractical to send the whole com­
mand at once on account ef the trans­
portation.
There are three casuals among the
Tillamook men: Laurance and Michael
Kehr were sent to the hospital with
the chicken pox soon after arriving
here, and Rexford Rowland was sent
to the hospital with a broken collar
bone, received while wrestling with
some of the other men. It is not
known yet whether these men will be
discharged from the sick list in time
to leave with the company next Tues­
day or not.
This afternoon the 162d regiment
was inspected by an officer from the
headquarters of the Ninth Corps area.
This inspection was to have been in
the field but a fairly heavy rain pre­
vented and the formation was held
in the barracks. The rain this after­
noon was the first precipitation to de­
serve the name since the Oregon
troops have been here. Several very
light showers have occurred during
the pait week, however. Yesterday
was a very hot day, from the stand­
point of a Tillamooker.
The Oregon soldiers are scheduled
to break camp next Tuesday, and it
is probable that they will entrain in
the morning, arriving in Portland
Tuesday afternoon, where they will
probably parade as they did last year.
There is nothing official on this how­
ever. The Tillamook company will
doubtless arrive home on the regular
train, Wednesday afternoon, June 25.
Captain J. E. Shearer has been
temporarily relieved from command
of the company again, as last year,
and has been designated Brigade
Sanitary officer. His duties are the
inspection of the sanitary conditions
of the 82d Brigade, which is com­
posed of the 162d and 186th infantry
regiments, with other Oregon troops.
Company K has been ordered to
furnish the guard detail for this
evening. This is probably the only
guard the Tillamook soldiers will get
during the encampment.

The following is copied from the
“Those who Come and Go” column of
the June 10 issue of the Oregonian:
“I am chairman of the housing com­
mittee and I’ll confess that I don’t
know where we will accommodate all
of the Elks who will assemble in Til­
lamook August 14, 15, and 16, for the
state convention,” observed Rollie W.1
Watson. “We have a housing prob­
lem in Tillamook town now, because
the population is increasing so fast
and there are not enough residences
to take care of them. There is some
building going on but more is needed.
As ror tne tnousanas or eiks in Ore­
gon who will travel to Tillamook, I
don’t know where we will put them
all. It wouldn’t be a bad idea for
some of them to bring their blankets.
Of course, the beach resorts are not
far away, but the convention will be
held in the middle of the summer sea­
son when the resorts are filled with

When the Elks
arrive they will not be presented with
the key to the city, because before the
visitors invade the town the key will
be thrown into the bay. During the
convention there will be celebrated
the opening of the Nehalem bridge.
The bridge is now completed and the
approaches and overhead are under
construction. The bridg» celebration
will include clambake, Tillamook
cheese and a good time generally."
FISH HATCHERY TO
BE BUILT AT BEAVER
Work has begun on the construc­
tion of a well equipped fish hatchery
on the big Nqstucca river at Beaver.
This project rkas promoted by Hugh
C. Mitchell, director of fish culture
who has recently replaced R. E. Clan­
ton, who formerly held that position.
Mr. Mitchell has always thought this
location to be the ideal place for a
hatchery in this county. He has had
twenty one years experience in var­
ious kinds of fish culture in connec­
tion with the government. The plant
will have a capacity of 6,000,000 eggs.
It will handle salmon eggs only for
the first year, then after that time
trout eggs will be added. The pres­
ent building will be only temporary
for this year, and more complete and
permanent hatchery will be erected
next year. Mr. Charles Buckley, who
is living at the place now will be sup­
erintendent of the plant.

The circuit opened a two day ses-

Charles Edmunds were indicted on a
charge of being drunk at a public
dance. They plead not guilty and
will be tried at a future early date.
Mr. Winslow is councel for defense.
Christian Hertig, who was charged

Tuesday Judge Bagley heard the
divorce suit of Earl Woods, of Blaine
in which he also brought suit for the
custody of his oldest child. He was
granted the divorce decree but the
mother retained the custody of both
children.
Wednesday the court heard the
case of Tohl versus Newberg, action
to establish a line fence between two
pieces of property, the Sandlake road,
west of Beaver.
The division in
question was that of the old Htfiry
Hays property that had been inherit­
ed by Mrs. Tohl and Mrs. Newberg.
The line had been surveyed unofficial­
ly in 1892, and a fence had been built
in 1907. The court deemed it neces­
sary to look over the situation at
short distance . Consequently, they
went to the place in question, which
is about two miles beynd the Sund-
quist-Norberg mill.
