e unusually cold weather. By
Tuesday night the temperature

the U. S. Weather Bureau instu­
nts here, and Wdnesday night the
limum temperature stood around
degrees, but yesterday some relief
i felt with a slight rise in temper-
re.
A serious part of the present con-
don is the scarcity of water, there
ing but five pounds pressure Wed-
iday and Thursday. A special
»ting of the city council was called
rinesdav afternoon, with the re-
t that an emergency measure was
ised forbidding water users letting
e water run to keep their water
pes from freezing. This measure
lemed to have very little effect how-
rer, as the water supply was even
k- yesterday than the day before.

ked to build hotter fires during

now stands^ for last Saturday an
automobile which was being repaired
in the shop caught fire, but was
rolled into the street and the fire ex­
tinguished before much damage re­
sulted.
It was thought probably a spark
from some welding which was done
on the car might have alighted in
the upholstery. About $50 is said
to cover the damages.
Tuesday night about 12:10 o’clock
a fire was discovered in the drying
room of Plasker court, resulting
from an overheated flue. While the
water pressure was so low that it
was useless the firemen managed to
stop the flames with chemical equip­
ment.
SKUNK HUNT ENDS
WITH INJURED FOOT
The perfumery industry is bound
to suffer as a result of an accident
which occurred to one of its pro-
ducers this week. Lowell Mendoeff
armed with a shotgun went out to
hunt a skunk which had been molest-
ing the chickens on the family ranch
at Dolph. In some manner the gun
was caught in his clothing and was
accidently discharged, the shot pene­
trating his foot. He was brought to
town where Dr. Shearer dressed the
wound.
VISIONS OF GHOSTS
SEND MAN TO SALEM
Seeing things which his neighbors
couldn’t see brought Lewis Nichols,
age 33, before the attention of the
county authorities this week on com­
plaint of E. L. Ingram of Bay City
to be examined as to his sani:y.
Ghosts and spirits were Nichols
speciality, and it is said that he fre­
quently communed with them. Doc­
tors Boals and Robinson, after an ex­
amination, decided that Nichols
should spend some time in the Ore­
gon State hospital and he will be
taken to that institution today.
Nichols is a native American and
has been living at Bay City.

Sunday morning called attention to
one unfortunate young man who ran
afoul of a state prohibition agent on
Third avenue east after a dance in
the city.
L. M. Kertzing was the prohibition
agent and was searching for imbibers
of the cup that cheers when he spied
Lando Darby leaving a dance in the
K. P. hall. Suspecting his quarry
might have a cargo of contraband,
Kertzing hailed Darby i as he was
just leaving the vicinity in his ma-
chine and had him stop, , It seems
that Darby got out of his machine
properly enough, but before the
usual interview could be started he
lit out for home at a smart canter,
via “shanks mare.” The officer call­
ed to Darby to stop and at his fail­
ure to do so, unlimbered his artillery
and commenced firing.
After a short scuffle Darby was led
away to durance vile and Monday
was fined $100 and costs by Judge E.
W. Stanley for possession of intoxi­
cating liquor. Lyle Moulton was
fined $30 for the same offense the
same day, while C. M. Pesterfield
paid the county $100 for driving an
automobile while intoxicated.
Other cases in the local justice
court for the week were: James A.
Beggs bound over to the grand jury
for receiving and concealing stolen
property; Dennis Tone fined $10 for
speeding; E. Dahl fined $1 per hun­
dred pounds excess for driving an
overloaded truck; Ralph Paascbe was
bound over to the grand jury to be
investigated regarding a possible
forgery charge.
It is said that
Paasche cashed a check with George
Crimmins for $35 to which he sign­
ed the name of C. Smith. He is be­
ing held in jail in lieu of $2,000 bail.

Schools throughout the county will

tion will last two weeks.
Christmas programs have been ar­
ranged in most of the schools to be
given this afternoon or evening, while
in some districts they will be held
Christmas eve.
Each grade in the Tillamook public
school will have its own program and

The “Topsy Turvy Christmas”,
given by the children of the Liberty
school with the assistance of a num­
ber of high school students last night
was a success in every way. That
the children had been well trained
was evidenced by the manner in which
they played their roles. The attract­
ive costumes used in the play were
made by the girls sewing classes.

LITTLE NEW ROAD WORK
Maintenance Chief Item for Roads
With But Two Small Pieces
of New Work
Today the budget, a much discuss­
ed-part of the county government,
will be taken up in open meeting and
either altered or approved as it was
published. The annual meeting is
scheduled to be held in the county
court room at 10 o’clock this morning.
Some of the county offices are ask­
ing for the same amount asked for
last year; some are asking for more
than in 1924 and some are calling for
less. The county court, clerk’s office,
and surveyor's offices are calling for
the same amount for the coming year
as was used this year; the sheriff’s
office, assessor’s office, school superin­
tendent’s office, and district attorney’s
office are asking for a larger allow­
ance. The treasurer believes that
that office can be run on less than in
1924.
The only new road work which will
be done the coming year, if the pub­
lished budget is any indication, will
be the Wheeler fill and the Jetty-
Brighton project. These two pieces
are obligatory on the court and have
been placed on the budget at $3,000
for the Wheeler till and $15,000 for
the Jetty road.
Road and bridge maintenance for
the three county divisions has been
alloted as follows: Division No. 1,
north end, $17,000 (this beside the two
new projects mentioned); division No.
2, Tillamook city district, including
Bay City cut off, $35,000; and division
No. 3, south end, $15,000.
Very little variation from the usual
run of county expenses is included in
the budget, the county fair building
levy of $30,714.26 which was voted
at the last election being one of these,
and the $729 allowed as the county’s
portion for the completion of the arm­
ory as another.
