TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT. MAY CONTRACT LET FOR ROAD’S FIRST UNIT. Cow Testing Association Report for April, 1917. Dec’mber 31 to See Work Completed on Gales Creek & Wils°n River Line. ------ o (Evening Telegram.) Contracts for construction of the first ten-mile unit of the Gales Creek & Wilson River railroad, the shortest line between Portland and navagable tidewater al Tillamook, have been let, and work will begin May 15. 1. J. Rosten and Arthur Porter have been awarding the clearing and grading, the Interstate Bridge Co., the bridge work, and W. D. Haley the furnish ing of materials. In the near future contracts will be let for the second unit of 12 miles. It is the intention to have the 50 miles of line completed before the end of 1917. announced John Pearson, president of the new railway company, this morning at his office in the Spalding building. Arrangements have been made for trackage rights over the United Rail ways line, a unit of the Spokane, Portland and Seattle line, to give en trance to Portland and also to Forest Grove. Construction will begin at Wilkesboro, 27 miles west of Port land, the end of the United Railways line, which will make the distance from this city to Tillamook less than So miles. With completion of the new line it will be possible to deliver at ship yards in tidewater and in and near Portland the long timbers required in ship construction. It will be a standard railway, built to carry the big timber of the coast range, of which there is approximately 15,000,- 000,000 feet tributary to the Gales Creek & Wilson River road as located One of the direct effects of the new line will be the creation of a large capacity sawmill in Gales Creek val ley, where extra demension stuff will be worked up. Besides president Pearson, O. M. Clark, Ralph E. Williams, E. Z. Fer guson and Jesse Stearns, all identi fied with large holdings of timber, are active in the new company. Mr. Pearson reports that other large in terests have come into the project and that ample funds are available to carry the road to completion this season, despite the shortage of labor. The company's plans were original ly announced five weeks ago. There were 28 herds, comprising 582 cows, on test for the month. Of this number 149 produced over 40 tbs. of butterfat, 74 made the honor list of 45 pound cows, 31 producing over 50 pounds of fat. The high herd aver age production held by C. A. Swen son’s herd, with an average milk yield I of 1050 pounds and butterfat of 44.61 for 27 cows. 44.40 pounds of butterfat is the best two-year-old record for New Milk Law Explained. There has been considerable misun derstanding as to the provisions of an act passed by the recent legislature requiring the pasteurizing of milk. The pasteurizing applies only to milk which is to be retailed, and then only from cows that have not passed the tuberculine test. Milk to be sold in bulk at wholesale, or to creameries, shall not be pasteurized. The tuberculine test will be made by the state livestock sanitary board and after a farmer or retailer of milk has made application for such test he shall be exempt from the provisions of the act until the test is made, that is, he may go ahead selling milk just as if the test had been made. The act docs not state that the per son shall pay any fee, so that the test is probably made at the expense of the state, if the test is successful, the milk from such cows may be sold without being pasteurized. The law goes into effect September 1. Ow ner, Name of cow Breed Mark Harrison, No. 17 G. J. Mark Harrison i(_ No. 15 . G. J. Frank Blaser, Woody . G,J. Win. ......... Williams, Gem . . G. J. I C. A.

And while the local firemen contend that the three runs of the Fairview boys were unearned, still it is all in the game, and the score indi cates fairly accurately how the game went. Tillamook uncovered a second Sid Blanchard in one l.yoncl Thayer, who pitched a masterly game fortlie first of the season; and while his support was disappointing at times, the boys came back behind him strong in the pinches and after the tirst inning they settled down and it was one-two- tlirce lor Fairview thereafter. Billy Foster for the firemen was the big man with the stick for the day driving m four runs—hitting w hen hits meant runs. Thayer and Mahan performed for the Firemen, opposing Heiscl and I’ctteys for the Fairview nine. For Fairview the batter) loomed up above the others in all department* of the game. Another set to is being arranged for and I lll.miuok vicinity should devel op a first-class semi-pro team this season. We understand Nehalem and the boys from the South end are pre paring for us.
