As the Press was not invited to the meeting, we were unable to answer a nuinlier of question, which were asked us on Saturday by one of our subscribers about The Dairy & Commercial Associa tion. It was news to us when he pro duced a circular, slating that the asso ciation was formed and that officers had been elected. Other dairymen came into the office later in the day and wanted to know what new thing was being hatch ed out. as they were not invited to par ticipate until the association was formed and its officers elected for five years, which apfieared to them a somewhat peculiar procedure. For the information of the public we mav state that a dairyman, a banker and two real estate agents made up the personal of the meeting. viz..Gus Kunze. James Walton, jr., Ralph Ackley and E H. Whitney. There may be one or two more present, but, if so, we can get no information to that effect, the particu lars being refused the Press. All of the above named persons were ilected to office, and James Williams was elected vice president, although he was not pre sent. Since then a number of circulars have been sent out. graciously informing the dairymen what "a number of citizens representing the dairy and commercial interests of Tillamook County’' intend doing if they can induce the dairymen to bite. There was no effort made to make it a representative meeting of the dairy, men and business men of the citv is shown by the fact that in the same build ing, within twenty feet of the place w here the meeting was held, Represent« live A. G. Beals, a prominent dairyman, has an office. Within two hundred feet is the office of F. R. Beals, the owner of a cheese factory and the laigest dairy in the not th end of the county. Within one hundred leet is the office of Carl Hab. erlach, secretary and salesmen for several large cheese factories, who sells more cheese than anv other man on the Paci tie Coast. Within a short distance is the Tillamook Countv Bank, whose cashier, M. W.Harrison, is a dairyman of twenty six y/ars'exjierience in Tillamook, with one of the largest dairy herds in the county. Neither were the business men of the citv invited, who knew not hing ot the meeting until a week alter it was held. The circular s^nt out by the officeis is as follows : At a meeting held in the office of Ralph Acsley on the 20th inst. a number ot citizens representing the dairy and com mercial interest* of Tillamook County, formally organized an association to be known as the Dairv & Commercial A»so ciation of Tillamook County. Oregon. The following officers were regular ly elected for a term of five years : Ous Kunze. President ¡James Williams, Vue President ; E ri. n hitnev. Solicitor; Ralph Acklev. Secretary ¡James M niton |r . Treasurer. The election of an ex ecutive committee to consist of the rep resentative Dairymen of the county was postponed until the first regular meeting of the Association The purpose of the Association briefly expressed are : To bring together rep resentative men from all parts of the County to discuss the interests of the County ; to devise ways and means of advertising the resources of onr County that men and money may be induced to come among us to help the development ot them ; to bi- instrumental in bung- ing about the appointment of a cheese and dairy inspector to the enJ that the dairy products ot our county receive the recognition that their merit deserves. Believing that in numbers their is strength it is the desire of the Associa tion that every man in the county that has the beat interest of the county at heart become a member and to that end it was thought wise to address this let ter to the citizens ot the county at large, enclosing a printed card, that the Dairv men and all others interested in the pro. gress of the county as a whole might be given an opportunity to become mem. tiers. As there is some very important business to come before the Association at its first regular meeting, which meet, ing will be called not later than the mid dle of January ’08. it is earnestly re quested that those to whom these cards are sent will give this matter their most careful attention and sign and return to the secretary not later than the first week in January so that a program of the first meeting may be mailed to the entire n e nhemhip. It wn thought best not to specifiy any staledrum as dues but that the Associ ation nt its regular meetings specify the particular work that it wishes to ac complish and at such times provide for the funds to carry it out. Believing that in such Association as >be above named working along rhe Ines that at proposes the best good will I tome to the countv as a whole, you are Host earnestly requested to give thi* tratter yonr most careful attention, siyn Ihe enclosed card and return to the Serrettey at yoor earliest convenience.

TILLAMOOK with a desire to join the association, for the way in which the association was formed and the officers elected, and for five vears, will not appeal very forcibly to the dairymen, neither to the business men of this city, who were not consulted in the matter. The dairymen have shown that they have the ability and intelligence to run their own business without the aid or advice of business men or others in this city, and if they think that a daii ry asso. ciation it a good thing tor this county they should be allowed to run it and fill the offices themselves Whenever some interests butt in and undertake to run the dairymen’s business, immediately there is friction. It was so when the creamery rtock monopoly tried to maní púlate and control the output of the cheese factories, and at the same time organized the Tillamook Board of Trade, with most of the officers with the combine's ear marks, Another thing, it would look much better, and better for the interest of the city and county, instead of starting up another association, if everybody would put their shoulder to the uhtel and help out the Tillamook Development League Notice. Bids will be received by the Red Clover Creamery Company until January 15th. 1908, for the hauling of cheese Irom their cheese factory to the wharf in Tillamook City for one year, commencing February 1st, 1908.
