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.

Saturday, August 23, the boys and
girls of the Holstein, Jersey and
Guernsey clubs of the coui.ty will
hold a joint meeting at the fair
grounds to enjoy a day of picnic and
games. The occasion is closing the
summer’s work before school starts
and to make arrangements for their
exhibits. D. H. Kennedy, the county
club ag?nt, will have charge of the
work and play. 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.

A large crowd of visitors and en­

of the state, and party were present,

PORTLAND 1925 HOST

Lodge
The annual state Elks convention
that was held in Tillamook las*
Thursday, Friday and Saturday was
very successfully carried out. 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.

torney, was elected to succeed Frank
J Ixjnergan in the president’s chair
for the ensuing year. Joe Reisch, ex­

Work Before Start of Fall
Program is Attended Well
The two grade crossings at Bay
City that have been up for consider­
ation before the state public service
commission were passed upon Tues­
day, August 19. 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.
