OFFICE SEEKERS NEED
NOT APPLY,
How a Few Persons Elected
Themselves to Office
for Five Years.
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.
