Tillamook brown start for skookum lake . CNIDER AND Account of Their Trip and a Few Experiences. Extracts from reports to the Geo- graphical Society at Cloverdale of an exploration trip to Skookum Lake. The idea of making an exploration trip to Skookum Lake was inspired one day while Snider and Brown were working on a donkey-bray whistle for the Gem Theatre in Tillamook. Now it might seem to the reader that a donkey-bray whistle and a trip to Skookum Lake are two entirely dif ferent things; but, I Paul Jones, who has been chosen to chronicle the events of the expedition and lay scientific data, and maps of any new rivers discovered, before the Geo graphical Society at Cloverdale, will ^presently show the reader how the whistle came to instigate the trip. Snider had, dreams of future sky scrapers in Tillamook with his name boldly inscribed as contractor on the cornerstone. Brown also felt that he was born for great things, and both agreed that the longing of their souls could never be satisfied in making whistles for the “Gem” and dough- troughs for Viereck. And as the theatre man had explained that he wanted the whistle to blow on when he was reeling off comic stuff so that the people of Tillamook would know when to laugh and when to cry, the tonal qualities of the instrument was of the utmost importance, “Make it shorter,” Brown said Snider, “for I once read in the Hearld the Demo cratic free trade paper that a short donkey diden’t hold his breath in braying as long as a longer animal.” Brown made the alteration and suc ceeded in getting a few rumblings and groanings out of the instrument, but they were sounds that any res pectable mule would blush at and sounds never heard in heaven above or earth below before. “That will never do," said Snider. “We ought to be able to find ashorter and better way to distinguish our selves in the eyes of our fellow citi zens, we may make doughthroughs and whistles all our lives and people jn Tillamook will never sit up and take notice. Let’s either go to war or go to Skookum Lake.” “Going to war would be one way of gaining fame,” said Brown, “but my wife wouldn’t let me, and since both you and I are poor at shooting, and worse at running, we might get killed and there would be no one to carry our fame back to Tillamook.” “Going to Skookum Lake would be more distinguished and less danger ous, and this county would undoubt edly reckon its time from the date of our expedition in ages to come.” Now you readily see how the whistle inspired the trip, for it was its failure to perform its proper func tions that threw discontent into the souls of Snider and Brown, and it was the sad thought that Tillamook would never have a real first class donkey-bray whistle to laugh and cry bv that instigated the desperate res olution of seeking fame for the city in some other way. They both agreed that it was wise and prudent to consider all possible dangers in advance both material and physical,, for it is recorded in the archives of the Society for Psychical Research at Bay City that members of a former exploration party had been so badly frightened by the ghost some years ago, that they had left guns and knapsacks, taken to their heels, and came running and ciying back to their wives and moth ers in Tillamook. After having procured provisions, we considered the matter of arma ment, our heavy artillery was to con sist of a revolver and a large butcher knife, and we planned that should we meet the ghost on the trail we should swing boldly up in the material line in front of it. Snider should cannon ade on the left flank, Brown should brandish the butcher-knife and shout and I should make a distinguished ad vance in the middle and declaim some of my poetry, for we thought that if the apparition was invincable the poetry might lay it or frighten it away. Thus armed and prepared we set out one early morning _ in May in a long red automobile. “Honk! Honk! We were out of Till amook.” “Honk! Honk! Best thing on wheels in the world" said the man at the wheel, almost built itmyself.” “Honk! Honk! Honk! Runs like a clock after being wound up.” ” Honk! Honk!” “Has almost hu man intelligece.” "Honk! Honk!” Runs up to a pool of water when the gearings get hot. “Honk! Honk! Honk!” Once or twice the big red machine seemed to want to run up to a telephone pole to rub the flies off its nose: but the man gave a twist to the wheel and said: “No these men are on a scientific exploration trip to Skookum Lake and we can’t let small things like flies delay them and mar the trip, especial ly since every detail of the journey is to be reported to the Geographical Society at Cloverdale.” "Honk! Honk! Honk!” howled the big machine, and proceeded to kick up such a cloud of dust that a calf got frightened, let out two or three bel lows, tore through a fence, and knocked a Swiss farmer off of his milk stool. “Honk! Honk! Honk!” A farmer’s wife ran screaming to the house. “Pa get your clothes on quick, and help save what we cast a cyclone is coming down the roa* from Tilla- tfiook." "Honk! Honk! Honk!” Around another corner add more ilus*^" •“Honk! Honk'” We are nearing Phillip’s mill. Honk. I think. "Honk! Bump! _____ ----- ■ — • 1 “Bump! Bump! said Snider'«jtak!

According to Carl Haberlach, cheese has probably reached its low est price for this summer. When asked about present and future pros pects, he said: From present indications,I believe we have about reached the bottom prices for this season. We have been selling the cheese as fast as made on account of falling market, but with larger dealers putting same into storage we feel easier about the fu ture. Ovr May production was about 8,00 bozes triplets and the other fac tories output would swell the total to 8,000 boxes triplets and the other fac- our cheese has been going to Califor nia lately, Portland taking but little and the Sound Country practically supplying its own needs. While we have been having a large amount of cheese to sell, we have found a fairly ready market, notwithstanding gen eral dullness in other liens of busi ness. We have a uniformly good article, have a wide range of markets, and we are trying to market our goods in a businesslike manner. “Give a good article and one with a good reputation, and wide range of markets, makes it much easier to dis pose of a large production of cheese, although there have been times the last few weeks when it was some puz zle to know just what was best to do. I believe that as a whole the patrons are getting more for their milk than they expected; certainly much more than the dairymen are getting in the Willamette Valley or other places in the State. Still, I do not look for much higher prices soon, as most dealers are going into the storage business in a very cautious manner. Personally, I believe that while tariff changes have had a certain effect and while there may be some importation of foreign cheese, we have fair pros pects ahead. We have more to fear from butter manufacturers going into cheese making than from the impor tation of foreign cheese. Until a dis trict gets well organized, they take considerable less for their cheese than market conditions would war rant. Correspondence on file in this office will show cheese being offered all the way from J4c. to 3 cents less than ours. While some of this stock may be high at the price, still it has its effect on the market; many deal ers only look for the immediate dol lar and not so much for reputation. “I believe that the matter of New Zealand cheese has been somewhat overrated. Most of the make to be made there the coming season has already been contracted for by cer tain London houses, according to our advices. Then, too, the people have been making there a good many years and have been making a cheese which would not take well in our markets, being nearly three times as large as our triplets. Like all Eng lishmen they are slow to adopt them selves to new ideas and ways, and un less dealers will contract for a con siderable output, do not change their size of hoops. I mention this simply ■because a great deal has been said about that country, and while things may not be just as they might, we have fair prospects ahead. If we can gradually improve the quality of our milk and cheese, and possibly by making different styles of cheese, we will be well able to hold our own with any place in our line.” A Comparison. Roseburg, Oregon, May 29, 1914. Mr. Editor; A few words please, I came into your city last week with a view of locating. I went up to your Commercial Club to talk to yoiir No one there. I went up citizens. — ---- — again after supper, thinking certain I would find a number of your citizens, and surprised to find only two or three young men playing billiards. I found in your reading room, aH pa pers and magazines, but nobody read ing them. You have as elegant and spacious slub rooms as any in Ore gon, finely furnished too. Wln.'s the matter? 1 had heard much of TPIa mook and its cheese. Is yo town dead, or whit's the matter. 1 foetid your secretary. He g-»-« t.«e irl'Ch desired information. I asked Ivin what the trouble was with Fz club and was much >1 pried 10 le.r only about 65 citize n w. r - in gool sand ing in the club, ail il.cn J. lead a piece in your last paper. About only twenty-five citi ec-.s lu.n- ing out to discuss vital matters, when 150 had been invited. That ain’t '.he kind of a city I’m hunting to put my money into, I read this piece in a Portland paper about Roseburg and came here.” “Now be it known that in many re spects the Roseburg Commercial Club is the best-managed and best ali’round promotion and social body tin Oregon. In the first place the rooms are large, spacious and cheer ful. They are elegantly furnished. They have on their tables all of the current piriodicals and maga zines. What is more, they are read and reread and read over and over again. Because the Roseburg Com mercial Club rooms are visited often end regularly by nearly every busi ness men in the city, and there are always strangers there. And here I m going to stay. Every business man here belongs to the club and goes up there tpo. I met them there and all were glad to see mfhe only people in your town who ■smiled at me were your real estate agents and your secretary, and I was surprised when he told me he had nothing to sell me and still spen- an hour with me and tried to get me to stay and locate. He gave me a Aigar too. is he crazy, to spend his time for nothing. \ ou ought to have more like him. ... » Now just a word of advice from an outsider. It may help you make up your club. Every man in your town ought to belong to it and help, and take an interest in it. A live boom ing Commercial Club shows that kind of a town and f<ople. ou ought to have 300 joiners. W ork to gether. Don’t be .0 seifish. Stop chasing a dollar long enough to be cuorteous to strangers. John P. Johnson. Headlight, June Suit to Foreclose a Mortgage.
