Tillamook Oregon, May 15,
To the Editor:
Dear Sir:
Will you allow me spaee in your
valuable, paper to say a few words
in regard to the reconstruction meas- !
ures to be voted upon in June from
a coast county view point?
You are well aware that western
Oregon is one of the most productive
sfji undeveloped sections of (he state.
T 1 PePle 'n ne coast counties have
4!jrV'' complained but with true west
ern grit and determination, tliey
have had to contend with adverse
circumstances on account of lack of
roads and bad transportation; con
stquently, it is not surprising that
all the est cucties are united and
greatly interested in the proposed
Roosevelt military highway, which
will be the means of opening up to
settlement a large amount of valua
ble land suitable for dairying, and
land Chat is similar to that of Tilla
mook county, where the dairymen
have made such a great success of
cheese making. It may interest you
to know that the dairy herds of Tilla
mook county produced 45,100,156
pounds of milk last year, and this
made 5,036,000 pounds of cheese,
valued at 1,352,694. This will be
duplicated many times if the Moose- j
velt highway is built, and the coast
counties will produce more cheese
t'Vian that produced in Wisconsin and
some of the other cheese producing
states of the east, for the reason that
climatic conditions are ideal for the
making of cheese in the coast coun
ties. The dairyman and grangers
are all lined up in these counties for
the Roosevelt highway.
What the coast counties want is an
opportunity to develop western Ore
gon. They now appeal to the gen
erous and magnanimous spirit of the
people of Oregon to help them do so,
as western Oregon has received but
slight recognition by way of Im
provements, but have always cheer
fully paid their taxes, some of which
have gone to develop other parts of
the state. All that western Oregon
wants is a square deal and I am sure
if the p.eople of the state knew of
tine undeveloped resources that are
in the coast counties, they would
readilly east their votes in favor of
the Roosevelt highway measure. It
will be a market road, but at the
same time it will be used for pleas
ure by move people living in Port
land, suurTiei n Oregon, eastern Ore
gon and the Willamette valley than
by people living in the coast counties
and it will outclass the Columbia
highway for scenic beauty and' pict
uresqueness, as it passes through a
most interesting part of Oregon.
Tve peonle f the coast counties
are almost as much interested In the
other reconstruction measures as the
Roosevet highway, as will be seen
by a straw vote taken in Tillamook
City on four measures, viz:
Roosevelt highway measure, 281
yes; 1 no.
Five million reconstruction meas
ure', 181 yes; 15 no.
Iirrigation and drainage measure,
247 yes; 17 no.
Market road tarn measure, 206 yes;
3 no.
Should the $5,000,000 reconstruc
tion measure pass and the Roosevelt
I highway measure be defated all that
western Oregon will receive will be
two insignificant sums of money for
armories at Marshfield and Astoria.
In that event it will be doing the
coast counties an injustice.
Respectfully yours
FRED C. BAKER
Editor Tillamook Headlight.

ENDLESS CHAIN NOT MYSTICAL
Doctor Fighting Influenza Explain
How Curative Serum Went From
Patiar.t to Patient.
The pruruleuce of influenza and
pneumonia with their high death rate
makes it Imperative to resort to heroic
methods of treatment rather than to
follow the accepted oni's only. The
lack of serum or other specific remedy
for Influenza, writes Dr. Charles R,
Humbert In the Medical Record, to
gether with the Inability to obtain
nntlpneumococcu scrum forced me to
use convalescent serum.
The Endless Chain. It Is a well
known fact that persons convalescing
from pneumonia have antl-bodles In
their blood streams. As soon as the
patients' condition permits, therefore,
they are bled as much and as frequent
ly os possible.
Serum Is prepared and treated, and
Is placed in stock. When another pa
tient comes In with pneumonia, treat
ment Is begun. When convalescents
sets In the above procedure Is repeat
ed. It Is a case of one gives serum to
tavo, two gives serum to three and
on, the procedure becoming endless.
Censor Office Bey.
It must be the censor's offlc boy
who Is responsible for some of the va
garies of the blue pencil. Not long ago
some patriotic soul quoted Kipling''
line from the "Recessional," "Th cap
tains and the kings depart." He had
the surprise of his life when the word
"kings" was struck out But worn
Is now reported. Another scribe,
greatly dnrlng In the meatless day,
quoted Thomas Hood's Joke la an ar
ticle on "Wayside Oraves," or some
thing equally solemn:
"So they burled Hon at four cross
roads With a stnke In Ms Inside."
That was too much for the censor
office hoy. A stnke In his Inside, In
deed. The Connor's utile boy knew If
he knew how to spell that the food
controller would never sanction a
whole "steak" a nice, succulent, Juicy
teak. In anybody's Inside. Ho he de
leted the offending line. Who shall
say that we are not ardently patri
otic people? IOlidon News.
