Willow# VOLUME 36; NUMBER 46 HM ALL TAKEN rabligljt TILLAMOOK, OREGON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 22, 1924 WHEN AUTO ROLLS Ihree Others Badly Injured as Result of High Speed on Sharp Several New Features Will be Seen at Fair This Year entertainment FREE Free Tickets to be Given Children of Grammer Schools on Two Days Curve James Beatty and Ole Berg, both young men of this city were killed last Friday evening about 5:30, when the large car they were driving failed to make a turn in the Trask river road at the Holden place about five miles south east of the city. The car rolled over twice stopping right side up. Three other men of Tillamook were badly injured in the same acci dent. They were: Elmer Baker, Jr., William Sacovitch and Richard Brem- mer. James Beatty, who was driv ing, and Ole Berg, riding in the front seat with him had been employed by the Coats lumber company for some time. The survivors of the wreck state that the car was making a terri fic rate of speed and was unable to make the turn at that point. The direct cause of the accident is not known, but the probability is that the foot accelerator stuck, for it is said that this had occurred several times before on the car that was wrecked.

Speakers will be H. C. Seymour, state club leader and probably A. G. Beals. Work in judg ing will be given to those interested in fitting stock for the fair. The club expects to enter a series of exhibits that will be of greater scope than ever. Calves, gardening products, cooking, sewing and canning will be on display in the club booths. In the afternoon the Guernsey club boys will play a game of baseball with either of the other clubs. The opponent depends on which one of the other two clubs produces the better team. ed Here in Big State A large crowd of visitors and en thusiasts attended the dedication ceremonies at the Nehalem bay bridge last Sunday.

Ths number of visitors was not quite as large as had been planned for, bat the work accomplished is reported to have been the most significant of any work in previous conventions. The chief item of favorable comment was the closer organization of the Elks state association which is made up of 19 of the 20 lodges in Oregon. At the convention meetings which were held each day men of prominence spoke on various matters that the Elks feel need special attention. At the personal request of Brigadier General White the association pledged their support to National Defense day, September 12, and outlined an Americanization program for the coming year. Each lodge will carry out its own program and will hold Americanization classes for foreign ers in the lodge rooms. The state association pledged sup port to the 1925 convention that will be held in Portland. Perhaps th* most commendable features of ths meetings were the resolutions that were adopted for the benefit of boys and girls of the state. The Boy Scout movement was heartily endorsed and appreciation of the work of that body was unanimously expressed. Committees throughout the stats were appointed to look out for op portunities to aid financially and mor ally this movement wherever possible. Lodge rooms will be thrown open at regular intervals during the winter. Another commendable feature was the passing of resolutions to investi gate the care for boys and girls that are released from the state training schools, who are usually merely turn ed loose to return to a life and en vironment of crime. This matter will be thoroughly investigated and re ported at a mid winter meeting of the committee that was appointed. It is expected that a conference will be held with Governor Pierce, and prob ably the Elks will furnish a state pa role officer in case the state does not see fit to do so. Ben 8. Fisher, Coos county at torney, was elected to succeed Frank J Ixjnergan in the president’s chair for the ensuing year.

The highway will be closed at this place where it cross es the Southern Pacific company's track on account of its hazardous nature. Since the old road is a con tinuation of the pavement the natural tendency would be for the motorist to proceed across the track. The railroad company have co-operated in bringing about its elimination by off ering a portion of their right of way for use as this section of the Roose velt highway. This will eliminate a large amount of the expenses of building the new road. The applica tion for the construction and main tenance of a grade crossing at Man hattan was rejected for the reason that the work was not deemed justi fiable. It accommodated about twen ty people for only a part of the year and another avenue of ingress and egress may be conveniently connect ed with the ocean boulevard at a slightly greater expense, thereby eli minating a railroad grade crossing.
