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

THE CHEESE SITUATION.
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.
