•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.

APPLE ORCHARDS
TO HAVE SHORT CROP
W. F. 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
