at THE Tillamook Beaches ïilkinuiü VOLUME 36; NUMBER 38 SIAGES BIG TIME Sight-seeing Trips Enter BEACHES ARE ENJOYED gome Visitors Venture to Sea in Boat to Experience Deep Sea Fishing Kremlin Baku, the Oregon lodge of •he Improved Order of Muscovites, fun branch of the Odd Fellows, staged their monthly meeting and ceremon ial at Tillamook and Oceanside last Saturday and Sunday. As members of the order entered Tillamook Satur day afternoon they were piloted over the interesting spots of the city and vicinity At the end of the sight-see ing trips the visitors enjoyed typical ly Tillamook meals of the various sea foods and dairy products. The parade, lighted by flaming red torch es carried by the paraders was a spectacle very pleasing to the eyes of the hundreds of people that looked on from the curb. About five hundred ladies and gentlemen of the order took part in the parade, that marched to the rythm of a Muscovite band from Portland, drum corps from Hillsboro and Portland and led by Czar William C. Laurens. Several of the candidates rode through the parade in a steel cage. The Jiggs family brought plenty of merriment from the spectators. After the parade the members of the order held ceremonials in the armory and in the Knights of Pythias hall, at which events several names were added to the membership roll. Dancing at the armory and a banquet served by the Tillamook Rebekahs took up a large part of the time after the initiation ceremonials. A portion of the band played various brands of music on the streets until a late hour. Several of the visitors spent the night camping at Netarts. At the picnic and general good time at Oceanside on Sunday, all the var ious events that are to be found at sea side resorts were indulged in. Clam digging and surf fishing in the morning took up a large part of the time of many. Others took the sea trips on the launch “Eagle", and sev eral caught deep sea fish. Still oth ers contented themselves with enjoy ing the composition of wonderful sights that thrill the nature loving. The suspension bridge was crowded, Maxwell’s point and the high hill back of it challenged the activities of a good many. There were more than 250 cars parked at Oceanside during the afternoon, when continuous music furnished the melody necessary for enjoyable dancing. All the visitors evidently enjoyed all the festivities offered for they stayed late and ex pressed all kinds of desire to return at a date in the near future. & 7 TILLAMOOK, OREGON, FRIDAY, JUNE 27, 1924 FINED BY COUNTY Officers Make Arrests About County and Enrich Treasury the While tain Visitors From All Over Oregon CiiMiqljl Z Two Conventions Soon To Eye City and Tell of In the last two weeks seventeen traffic violations have been brought before E.

Nichols and wife, who have just returned from a two weeks’ auto trip to Cashmere, Washington, corroborates the statements already received from various poinst of agri cultural interest to the effect that crops in general are universally short. The famous Wenatchee apple district, of which Cashmere is the center, will be exceedingly below normal production this fall, How- ever the orchardists of that district predict a good price for their apples. All the horticulture in that section is made possible through irrigation. The space between the trees is planted to alfalfa, that is plowed under in the fall. This process is the only cul tivation the trees receive. Mr. Nichols, who is cashier in the Tillamook county bank, says the ground in that part of Washington is brown as clay where water has not reached it by irrigation. Consequent ly he is happy to be back to an abundance of sea breeze and green grass. BAY CITY BERRIES RECORD BREAKERS The famous Bay City strawberries are at the height of their run at present with the valley berries all gone. Mr. Wilkins, who owns a patch of one acre on his place on the Bay City road has been disposing of ten crates a day at Skagg’s grocery for the last few days. They are the finest looking berries that have been seen on the market this year. The boxes are packed so full that they can not be stacked in the crates in double layers. Mr. Wilkens discov ered his berry patch by noticing that wild strawberries grew there abund antly. Two boxes, heaped high, con taining fourteen berries each were put on display at one of the big stores in Portland. 4 MARRIAGE LICENSES CAR RUNS OVER BANK AT NETARTS ISSUED THIS WEEK The following marriage licenses *ere issued from the county clerk’s office this week: Norman Lay and Boda M.

Condition CITY HELD BELOW PAR Cleaning of Community Up to Each Individual and His Pride, Not to Others (An editorial in a news column) Members of the state editorial as sociation will assemble here in con vention next month—Elk’s convention the month after that. Both of these fraternities are com posed of people who are well thought of in their communities and their opinions will doubtless carry some weight. The newspaper people will speak of their trip to Tillamook in their papers and the Elks to their friends in conversation. What kind of a story do you think they will tell when they get back? Tillamook is scheduled to receive much pub licity after these two conventions. Will it be favorable or not? An un biased view right now would prob ably give Tillamook an unfavorable reputation—at least from the point of appearances. There is much to be done to put this city on a par with other com munites of its size in Oregon." For one thing there is much high grass in the parking strips and in quite a number of yards—very unsighlty. We are not any of us ready for com pany, and no one in particular is being blamed for the condition. Ev eryone is to blame. Then let every one clean up and prepare for the visitors. Very few people in Tillamook (Continued on page 8) PROFITABLE BUSINESS IN CHITTEM BARK Local jobbers in cascara bark have handled about 60 tons of the dried bark up to date. Most of the bark has been shipped out to Portland or to intermediate points. At twelve cents a pound, which was the price paid lo cally, this means an income of $12,- 000 for the community. These figures do not include bark that was shipped out directly or collected by traveling buyers. The local dealers were Hillsboro trading company, Clyde Craver and A. & B. Bloom.

CREAMERY ASSOCIATION MAKES A REPORT Carl Haberlach reports that the price of loaf cheese has raised one cent, now being quoted at 27 cents Tillamook and triplets twenty-five cents, Tillamook. All feed markets are firm with advances in several lines. July corn is at 93 1-2 cents per bushel in Chicago on June 25. If this continues the association will buy oats and barley instead of oats, corn and barley. AT THE Tillamook Beaches ing Expected to be Heady Organization Meet For About twenty five members of the local Kiwanis club attended the chart er presentation ceremonies of the McMinnville Kiwanis club last Wed nesday evening. During the banquet a program of civic interest was given. The charter was presented by James P. Neal, lieutenant governor of North west territory of Kiwanis clubs, and an address was delivered by William Clarence Green, president of Albany college. About 200 members from ten clubs were present including the club of Sheldon, Washington, from which place twelve members drove 200 miles to the event. Telegrams of congratulation from clubs all over the country were read. The new unit at McMinnville has a membership of fifty business men. Fred A. Beltz, president of the local Kiwanians answered roll call for the Tillamook members. July 4 th PRICE $2.00 THE YEAR WATSON BUILDING IS TAKING SHAPE Presentation SPEND Camp BRIGADE IS REVIEWED Tillamook Company Establishes Fine Reputation as a Military Organization Tillamook national guardsmen ,who have been on a two weeks training en campment at Camp Lewis, arrived home Wednesday evening in good spirits, in spite of the somewhat rig orous service they had been through in Washington state. The local men came through in the same cars in which they left camp Tuesday morning, only from Portland on they were attached to the regular Tillamook train. Monday was pay day for the Ore gon troops and over $100,000 was paid out to soldiers of the 82d Bri gade. Monday afternoon also saw a brigade review of the Oregon soldiers which was the first held of these men acting as state troops alone. Last year the big review comprised troops from Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana. Quite a number of visitors were present when Oregon’s best marched before Governor Pierce and his staff. Visitors at the quarters of the Til- lamook men over the last week-end were H. R. Hechtner, of the local firm of Larson and Hechtner, Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Swenson, formerly of this place but who now live in Washing ton, Mrs. George Hanslmair and Mrs. Leslie Harrison. Tillamook men acknowledge with thanks presents of fruit from i Con- over & Conover, fruit and < cigars from E. G. Anderson, and cheese from the Tillamook county creamery association. Company K from Tillamook was given much credit by officers of the national guard and regular army for the condition of their quarters and the general spirit and morale of the men. Difficult conditions were en countered this year which made these qualities more noticeable than ever before. The bids that were presented for laying the new water main under Trask river in the south edge of E. L. Erwin while working at town were considered as being too Cloverdale Lumber company, fell high. Hence the commission has re injured his hip quite badly which jected all of them and are calling for confine him to his home for a new bids to be presented by July 5th. | days. the and will few Netarts Travel to be Made Safer and More Com- Construction of the Watson build- ing on the southeast corner of Sixth street and Second avenue east is pro gressing satisfactorily under the sup ervision of Emmet Bales with a crew of ten men. All the foundation work has been completed and the walls are to be poured immediately. A. T. Dolan is doing the concrete work. The building will be completed by about the first of September.. There will be five stores on the lower floor and fourteen apartments in suite, seven with three rooms and seven with two rooms on the upper floor. Electric equipment will be instaneu throughout and the entire building will be equipped with modern fix tures. This building is at the intersection of the two geographically central streets of the city, located within a few blocks of the school houses and a convenient distance from the present business district. It covers a quart er block and is 105 feet long and 71 1-2 feet wide. LOCAL THEATRE MAN HAILED BY HOLDUP A few nights ago as Lem Part ridge, of the Coliseum, was driving to Portland, he was hailed by two men standing beside their machine by the road side between Newberg and Port land. There was a third man at the wheel of the car, and since it was a late hour Mr. Partridge felt alto gether too uncomfortable to stop and take chances on being held up. When he refpsed to stop, the would-be de tainers gave chase in their car that evidently had not been stalled. They turned out their lights when they drew near Mr. Partridge’s car’ and turned them on again when the Tilla mook man went farther ahead. They evidently gave up the chase upon nearing Portland and turned down the Tu.ilitin loop at the Bertha crossing. SHOOTING THE BULL FAVORITE PASTIME Last Sunday, while Archie Dayton and two boy friends from Salem, all three of whom had been fishing on the upper Trask river, were return ing home a bull along the road evi- dently took offense at their joviality and dove at the boys bumping Archie against the fence and craked two of his ribs. One of the other boys shot the animal in the leg wth a small revolver and the bull turned on the marksman, but the three of them fin ally got the beast subdued sufficiently to allow them to escape without ser- ious injury, although • Archie was rathfer painfully bruised. fortable MARKET ROADS HELPED County Prisoners Do Considerable of the Work of Building and Maintaining Roads A trip over any of the roads near Tillamook that are being improved shows readily what results can be ob tained under efficient supervision. The Lucas road or Olson road, lead ing north from the Fairview Grange hall has recently been graveled and will be kept level and in good order. On the Netarts road fills, cuts and grading have been progressing rapid ly for three weeks. This work is be ing done with a crew of five teams and ten men. The road is being wid ened on the turns and fills. At the same time the bad turns are being straightened so that motorists can see farther past the bends than form erly, thereby alleviating dangers of accidents. A bridge will soon be built across the O’Hara creek one mile from Happy camp and the bad curve at that place will be eliminated. Addi tional spade for machines to pass will be placed along the plank road and brush and ferns are cut from the road side to make driving safer. Some of the work is done by county prisoners. The Hall slough road north of town, which was gravelled a month ago is working down into excellent condi tion and promises to be one of the best side roads in the country. The north half of the Wilson river loop that was laid a year ago is as good as new pavement and has as much traffic pasting over it as any other road in the county. Two miles and a half of the Long Prairie road near the rifle club’s range has been built to a standard grade and is ready for gravel. The right of way is 40 feet wide. The county steam shovel has removed the mound of clay that caus ed a bad turn at Clements’ corner south of town. New grading and widening of a portion of the Tilla mook river road is nearing comple tion, A considerable amount of the work has been done by prisoners of the county and all improvements are per manent. E. J. Schelling is road master and with the reliable corps of foreman that he has is making Tillamook roads famous. Get off the pavement and you still can enjoy good riding. Try the same thing in other counties, then broadcast the news of the difference to the rest of the world that likes good roads. OCEANSIDE HAS TWO FIRES SUNDAY LOCAL PASTOR VICTIM Cigarettes started two fires at OF THE ROAD HOG Oceanside last Sunday; one when some one dropped a cigarette stub in a pile of boxes in a store house back of Vic Stewart’s clam and crab mar ket threatening al) the business dis trict of the resort. Aid from the visiting Muscovites and others stop ped the fire before it had done a great deal of damage. Mr. Rosenberg with the aid of the adequate water pres sure at the resort stopped the flames before they spread. Some one dropped another cigarette in a tent earlier in the evening which was soon fanned into a blaze that did considerably damage to the tent.
