TILLAMOOK MILL IS SOLD.

Russell Hawkins Buys Out
Orleans Interests.
New
-- o-------
(From The Oregonian.)
Russell Hawkins has bought the
sawmill at Garibaldi, Tillamook
county, owned by the Cummings-
Moberly Lumber company of New
Orleans. Mr. Hawkins purchased all
the property the Louisiana concern
had in Oregon for $250,000. The
deal was closed several weeks ago.
This plant was never operated, for
about the time it was to start the
manager died and has remained idle.
Some alterations will be made by
Mr. Hawkins. To accommodate the
men who will work at the mill it will
be necessary to build about 100
houses, making Garibaldi quite a
town. Big things are pending in the
vicinity of Tillamook Bay, Mr. Haw-
Kins, who is a member of the port
commission stated.
The Coats Lumber Co., has pur­
chased the sawmill at Hobsonville
for $275,000 and will make a num­
ber of improvements. Mr. Hawkins
has bought 22 donkey enginesand
these will be placed in the woods in
the spring to get out logs.
A logging road is now being built
into the Whitney Lumber company’s
holdings and the donkeys will go in
over this line, which is being con-
structed as carefully as a standard
railroad. The latest report shows
that there is from 30 to 32 feet of
water at low water on the bar, and
the shoal contour inside the bay
shows more then 24 feet at low
water.
The port commission which has
about $250,000 available, intends to
dredge the channel from the en­
trance of the bay to Hobsonville and
to the Garibaldi cove, which will en­
able lumber vessels to reach the
Coats mill and the big plant at Gari­
baldi. The Tacoma Dredging com­
pany has been awarded the contract
for the work.
The Cheese Situation.
JANUARY
Flags and coins of foreign nations
will be available for school exhibits,
stereoptican slides and moving pic­
ture films of child life in foreign
lands will be shown songetime during
the year. The Junior Red Cross News
will be sent monthly to every school
auxilliary. It is a sixteen page maga-
zine containing pictures of foreign
children in their native costumes and
describing how they work and play.
The health crusade of the educa­
tional department will be carried out.
Tillamook children who are studying
French will probably, next semester,
write letters to French children who
are attending French schools and
want to become acquainted with
American children. Many school aux-
illiaries during the year will give
patriotic entertainments in order to
secure small funds for their respec­
tive activities. No membership fee is
charged for the Junior Red Cross but
some money will be necessary for ex­
penses.
The Chapter Executive Secretary,
who is now being secured by the Til­
lamook Chapter A. R. C., will help
the Chapter School Chairman, G. B.
Lamb organize the Junior Red Cross.

Tillamook County Will Have Red
Cross Service.
------- o
The Tillamook County Chapter of
the American Red Cross will employ
a trained worker to give Red Cross
Service to returned soldiers and sail­
ors and their families.
At a meeting held Thursday of last
week the Division Office of the Red
Cross showed that there was much to
be done. Dr. R. T. Boals, U. S. Public
Health Service Physician, said he
saw in his work each day many
things which should be cared for by
a Red Cross worker. The President
and Secretary of the American Le­
gion ^ade a strong plea for service
handled in an efficient manner. The
vote to employ a Chapter Executive
Secretary was unanimous.
TheRed Cross offices will be those
of the American Legion, in the Tilla­
mook Building, which the Red Cross
is having fixed up and furnished.
Somewhere the Legion is going to
find a desk, some chairs and a type­
writer. There will be two rooms, one
a reception room the other a place to
discuss private
business matters
with the secretary.
E. J. Claussen, Commander of the
Tillamook American Legion Post,
was asked to serve as a member of
the Executive Committee of the Red
Cross. The Red Cross needs the Le­
gion and the Legion needs the Red
Cross.
Tillamook County Chapter is to be
congratulated upon realizing the re­
sponsibility of a 100 percent fulfill­
ment of its war obligation, and for
taking the very best means of insur­
ing that this obligation is fulfilled.
Fred C. Baker, chairman of the
Tillamook County Red Cross, receiv­
ed a telegram from the Western Di­
vision that Miss Elizabeth Burrows
was available for home service work
in Tillamook county. She is a trained
worker and a graduate of Syracuse
University, New York. Served for
tw-o years as secretary of the Y. >1.
C. A.and had several years as high
school teacher. She had special work
in sociology at the university of Cali­
fornia, took the Red Crose course and
had experience in family welfare
work. Mr. Baker sent a telegram to
the Western Division accepting the
services of Miss Burrows.

The Seventh Annual Meeting of
the Tillamook County
Holstein
Breeders’ Association was held at
the Court House on Monday, the
19th. The report of the president and
secretary-treasurer for the past year
was read and upon motion were ap­
proved and filed for future refer­
ence of the association.
Officers were elected for the year
as follows: B. A. Folks, Pres.; Clay
Daniels, Vice-Pres.; J. J. Rupp, di­
rector, 2 years; Jay Honey, director,
3 years; Rollie Watson, Sec.-Treas.
Many timely topics relative to the
advancement of the live stock indus-
try were discussed by Roy C. Jones.
The meeting required most of
<
the
afternoon and adjournment l was
made with the understanding that
the president was to call an Asso-
ciation meeting early in February.
One interesting feature of the
meeting was the address of the pres­
ident, B. A. Folks. He said:
President’s Report.
the progress that is being made by
the Holstein cow, due solely to her
merit and sturdiness as a producer
of large and economical milk pro­
duction, it is logical to reason that
in the not distant future we as Hol­
stein breeders can reasonably expect
to profit in the sale of young stock.
A market which up to the present
time has not been touched. Testing
will put us in touch with the buyer,
j The testing end of our business
should be given greater consideia-
tion. The Noyes & Folks herd up to
the present time is the only one that
has been put on official test. They
report a record of over four hundred
pounds of butter fat on a two year
old which will freshen in just 31
days after completion of her year
record. It is reasonable to expect,
from present indications, that their
held of eight will finish their ten
month average with over 400 lbs.
fat.
| "However, when we compare these
with the average of the breed we
can better appreciate the quality of
the wonderful herd. The ten best
Holsteins compared with the ten
best cows of their nearest competitor
reveal to us the fact they lead by
I i over $100 pounds fat to the cow,
and over eleven thousand pounds of
i milk.
|
"Likewise, the breed average is
512 pounds fat, which is 85 pounds
ahead of their nearest competitor.
I i The progress of the brded as great
as it is, has a close rival in the
National Ass’n. with over 13,000
members and new ones being added
at the rate of 75 per week. In the
recent drive in Wisconsin, in the
short time of three weeks there were
^secured fifteen hundred members.
"The National Ass’n. is of great
value to the members in keeping
them posted on the progress of the
breed and in the help they lend at
fair time. In this connection I wish
to refer to the assistance rendered at
the recent International Live Stock
Exposition, besides the much and
helpful literature they helped in a
financial way.
"The increase is due as content­
plated is a reasoiable demand, in
that the extra 50 cents will go to
the Holstein publication and in that
way every member will be getting a
breed periodical. We should lend our
efforts toward the formation of a
calf club for those that are inter­
ested in the Holstein calf.
“Let everyone lend his efforts to
the successful accomplishment of the
Tillamook County Fair. We made a
splendid showing of the P. I. Now
lets pull for Tillamook and remem­
ber that H. stands for Holstein,
Health and Happiness."
Fellow Breeders—1 am glad that
we can meet together here today in
this our 7th annual meeting. We
can take pride in the growth and
enthusiasm for our association. This
last year has seen the largest mem­
bership of any year yet. It has also
been one of progress by the great
breed that we have chosen to follow,
1 say follow, for we are followers
until we get to the point where we
can produce something better than
we stalled with, and in this respect
we have not as yet attained leader­
ship.
Tn attaining such leadership we
have little discouragements such as
have come to us in the past to over-
come. Just as there can be no pro-
gress made in any line, without
great effort, some
failures and
many disappointments, so it is with
the pure bred live stock movement
in Tillamook. Because the movement
does not seem to get along as plan­
ed or that it has more knockers
than boosters, is only a small ob-
stacle to overcome- in view of tlie
wonderful possibilities of the de­
velopment of the Holstein dairy cow
in Tillamook. With the effort ai­
ready put forth she has taken tile
lead as a producer of food of the
Highest quality for human consump­
tion. The two small importations of
Holstein cattle that have been made
to this county are beginning to be
felt in a large way. The Holstein
cow is paving the way to greater
profits to her owners by her great
producing ability and by the fact
that her milk is of the greatest im­
portance in cheese production.
"We have seen the healthy growth
of the Holstein cheese factory and of
its popularity. This is a real demon­
stration of what we can expect the
Holstein cow to do for us.
“Where it is not possible at the
present time for all of us to patron­
ize this factory, there is open to us
a fair way of treatment in the new
method of payment of fat plus .6
method.
"All dairymen should familiarize
themselves thoroughly with this
method of payment. Just a word of
explanation. When the man Babcock
made his great discovery and conse­
quent contribution to the daily
world, milk was just milk, a hun­
dred pounds of one quality was
worth as much as any like amount.
"Babcock saw the need of determin­
ing the quality of milk, hence the
Babcock test. This test lias been
universally adopted for determining
the amount of fat in milk, but as
cheese is not made from fat alone, a
method for determining milk values
at cheese factories was needed, lienee
the new method of fat plus 6 meth­
od. Low testing milk,
yielding
cheese greater in amount to the
pound of fat than higli testing milk
and where they are mixed at the fac­
tory for cheese production it is
necessary to adopt the nearest way
of determining the value of each
quality of milk. Under these condi­
tions the fat plus .6 method is the
best practical way we have at the
present time.
"Some of our fellow dairymen
seem to believe that they are sus-
taining a loss by this method of pay-
merit, while
as a matter of fact
there is not any loss to these high
testers. They are getting pay for
the cheese that their milk yields.
The loss that they are supposedly
sustaining is the amount that the
low testing milk has been helping
the higher testing milk and when
this amount is diverted to its right
place by the fat plus .6 method it is
a very noticeable difference on the
part of the higher testing ruHk.
“This method of paying is an lion-
est, practical and easy way to pay
all cheese factory patrons for what
their milk yields, It is to .be hoped
that this association will take it up­
on itself to make this question un­
derstood throughout Tillamook coun­
ty this year. If it does this it will
Secretary-Treasurer’s Report. _
Rollie W. Watson, ,the secretary­
treasurer, also had an interesting re­
port, which was as follows:
"As your secretary and treasurer
during the past year of 1919, it is
gratifying, indeed to make this an­
nual report and to show a substantial
growth ail along the line of our en-
devors. The year now passed into the
history of development of the pure­
bred Holstein cattle of Tillamook
county has conclusively shown that
the Tillamook breeders are to be a
factor in the future to contend with
for honors rightly and justly won in
competition at the
National show.
Those of our association who showed
their cattle at the Pacific Internat­
ional Exposition at Portland, Ore­
gon, in November should feel very
proud of the tact that every entrant
secured a place for prize money and
at the top of the awards, especially
is this so, when taken into consider­
ation that your cattle went up
against such strong competition as
shown by the Hollywood, Carnation
and Bishop herds. The exhibit made
by you gentlemen of the association
has gained for Tillamook County a
national reputation and many col-
umns of publicity which has put the
Tillamook
Holstein Breeders of
County on the map for all time to
come.
"The Pacific International Live
Stock Exhibition was attended by
some seventy-five thousand people
interested in live stock. It afforded
me a great deal of pleasure and sat­
isfaction to represent the National
Holstein-Frelsian
Association
of
America. The Oregon Holstein Cattle
Club and our association at the show
while in charge of our booth and ex­
hibit there: Our register contained
over six hundred signatures of peo­
ple who are interested in the breed,
something over seven
thousand
pieces of literatute on the Holstein
cattle covering many subjects were
distributed. The total expenses of
the booth were provid'd for by the
National Association.
"During the past year, we have
secured over sixty columns, or prac­
tically ten pages of newspaper pub­
licity. Your secretary has handled a
large amount of correspondence on
1920 is $43.66.
‘Tn conclusion, I would like to see
a greater personal interest taken by
all the dairymen of Tillamook county
and especially the breeders of Hol­
stein cattle in association work. The
reason for co-operation along the
line of development of pure bred cat­
tle is, that it is worth while. In ten
years from now Tillamook county
could and should produce one million
dollars in pure bred cattle each year
thereafter, I really believe that we
should eventually sell as much pure­
bred stock as our cheese industry
now realizes. Think this over and
then go to it.”

GUERNSEY BREEDERS TO
IMPORT MORE STOCK.
Association Held its Annual Meeting
Erwin Harrison Made President.
------ o------
The Tillamook County Guernsey
Cattle Club held ii> annual meeting
on January 20th, and elected Erwin
Harrison, Pres., H. E. Tucker, vice-
Pres., and Homer Mason, Sec-Treas.
The directors are Rudolph Zweifel,
Geo. Williams and J. L. Gay. It was
voted to hold regular monthly meet­
ings this year on the third Tuesday
of each month. Everyone interested
in the breed should keep this date in
mind and be present at the meetings.
The club decided to take over 50
or 60 head of Guernsey heifers which
are being Imported direct from the
Island by State Guernsey Club. Every
man present endorsed a note signed
by the officers of the club securing
the banks of the county tor a loan to
finance the purchase of these heif­
ers. The banks participating in the
loan are the First National Bank, of
Tillamook, Tillamook County Bank,
Nehalem Valley Bank, and Nestucca
Valley Bank. The State Club has al­
ready authorized Mr. Lepatourel, one
of the leading breeders on the island
to secuie 300 open heifers for them.
Clackamas, Clatsop, '1 iilaniook and
Washington Counties will take tlio
major portion of these heifers, the
local club in each one of these coun­
ties have guaranteed the purchase.
Upon arrival in Portland these heif­
ers will be distributed to the coun­
ties by lot, and then it is up to the
county clubs to arrange for distribu-
tion of the cattle in the county.
There should be no trouble in plac­
ing from 50 to 75 bead of heifers in
this county as a great many different
dairymen have signified their pref­
erence for the breed and their desire
to obtain some foundation stock.
There is a scarcity of females in this
county, und the demand is so great
that American prices ure very high.
Several local bulls will be consign­
ed for sale at the time these heifers
are distributed. The local banks have
signified their willingness to back up
the Juvenile Calf Club and the
Guernsey Club went on record as
favoring this work and will attempt
to find pure bred calves for all the
boys and girls who wish to take up
calf club work.
The club also voted to appoint a
committee to work with the County
Agent and Farm Bureau in the live
stocK improvement project.
This was one of the most enthusias­
tic meetings which the club has
ever held and 1 believe that the next
year will see much greater activitiea
among Guernsey breeders in this
county than in the past.
