Farm House Burned.
The farm house belonging to W. C.
King and 1. C. Smith at Blaine burn­
ed to the ground on Sunday afternoon
the loss being between $2,000 and
$3,000.
Mr. Smith and his family were in
the city at the time, and Mr. and Mrs.
King had gone over the hill to see
some stock, leaving Mrs. Morton,
Mrs. King’s mother, alone in the
house. A snag was burning near the
house and when the fire reached the
tree tops it is supposed that a spark
lit on the house and caught the roof
on fire. Mrs. Morton heard the shin­
gles cracking, and going out side saw
that the roof was on fire. She could
do nothing to prevent the spread of
the lire on account cf her advanced
age, and it was not long before the
whole house was in flames, and when
Mr. and Mrs King returned the ruins
were flat on the ground. Neither
family bad any insurance on the
bouse or their furniture, which are a
total loss. Besides this loss was their
provisions, grass seed and farm too's.

at the home of Mr. Kcldson and then
went to the home of Mr. Barger and
most pleasantly surprised him in hon­
or of his birthday. Although taken
completely by surprise, Mr. Barger,
will a few well chosen words of
thanks, bid all welcome to his home,
Mr. and Mrs. Keldson with piano and
violin, and Mr. Barger playing his
bass violin rendered some fine music
for dancing and singing. Mrs. Barger
served a bounteous supper which was
enjoyed by all. At a late hour all de-
ported for-home, wishing Mr. Barger

F. J. Bowers who recently arrived
here from Pesino, Cal., and who has
rented the Small cannery for a short

You can’t fool all of the people all

Peoples of Europe are supposed to
have a small voice in their govern­
ment, but the voice was of the “Let
George do it” sort, and so “George”
did—get them into a war in which
millions will lose their lives. A little

help this.
Too many people are left, who,

Too much conservation of forests.
Europe’s war is described in the
vernacular of the day as the result of
everybody being “all dressed up with
no place to go.” Now there’s a general
anxiety to get back in the old work­
ing clothes and throw the shooting
irons into the river.
One of those wholly academic ques­
tions which can so often, of late
arouse a great deal of thunder if not
much of real lightening, is now on the
tapis again. Some one, perhaps with
the laudable purpose of diverting at­
tention from the European war, has
again suggested, or, at least, hinted
at, a division of Texas into a number
of sovereign states. If it came from
somewhere outside of that really im­
perial state we should term it a sug­
gestion. If made anywhere inside, it
could not possibly have been more
than a hint, and such a hint that the
man making it would have to be very
circumspect in the choice of
words.
Speaker Clark in his eulogy of
late Sereno Payne, chairman of
House Committee on Ways
Means when the last Republican
iff was enacted, revealed one of
reasons for his own personal popu­
larity with Republicans. The fact that
so many Republicans hoped for his
nomination at Baltimore was not dm'
to a belief that he would be "easiest
to beat.” Any student of human na­
ture knows that such a theory is a
slander on the race. There may be an
occasional partisan who makes his
living out of politics who is guilty of
such scheming. But the average man
desires the nomination of a candidate
because he likes him personally. With
local candidates this feeling becomes
so strong that many men are drawn
into the opposition party's primaries.
In counties which are one-sided, the
majority party has found the primary
invaluable for recruiting purposes, on
this account.

Nestucca Cow Testing Association.
Below is the list of the cows in the
Nestucca Cow Test’ng Association
that made good records in their class­
es at the end of eight months testing,
l’he Association did not start work
last spring early enough to get a com­
plete lacation record on all the cows
so there are no doubt some cows that
would have qualified if the records
had started earlier that did not quite
qualify on this report. A herd of cows
'ike this published list would indeed
be a profitable herd for a man to own
but when we think that out of about
six hundred cows tested there is only
about loo in this list, it shews us that
there is indeed room for cow testing
Associations in this county. No man
in the dairy business can afford to
keep a mature cow that produces,
under normal conditions less than
250 pounds fat in a ten month lacta­
tion period or a heifer that makes
less than 200 pounds fat in the same
time.
The low producing cow is respon­
sible for more discouraged dair, men
and failures in the business than any
other factor. Her elimination from
their herds means more to the dairy­
men of Tillamook County than a two
cent raise in the average price of but­
ter fat. If it costs $50.00 a year to
keep a cow and she makes only 150
pounds fat at 35 cents per pound,
you are only getting $2.50 for your
labor while if she gives 350 pounds
like the one who heads this list you
will have $72.50 left.
The only sure way to detect the un­
profitable cow is by systematic weigh­
ing and testing of milk so as ta know
each year exactly what each cow is
doing. Instead of this county support­
ing only two Cow Testing Associa-
tions it s'lould support ten with every
herd in the county keeping yearly
records and dairying on a business
basis.
