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.

Giants J. 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.

Last week and part of this the
County School Supci imendent has
been in various parts of the county
holding the final spelling contests.
The results shown arc most en
couraging. In every school where the
plan has been followed out the pupils
have shown a marked improvement in
spelling for the year. In many instan
ces the grades in the first contest last
fall were very low, some as low as 24
per cent, which means only twelve
words out of fifty were properly spell
ed. In the April contest the same pu
pils raised grades from ninety to one
hundred. Showing an increase in
every contest.
The teachers in nearly all the
schools have been very faithful in the
spelling drill, and have obtained re
sults gratifying them. The whole ob
ject of this contest has been to make
better spellers of our boys and girls.
Championship certificates were is
sued to all pupils making 100 per cent
in the final contest. Certificates of
efficiency will be issued to all pupils
making 94 to 99 per cent.
These will be mailed to the children
within the next thirty days.
The following named pupils are de
serving of especial mention as having
taken part in all four contests during
