FAIR GROUND BUILDINGS ARE UNDERGOING REPAIRS FOR EVENT STOCK SHO* TO M KW inMCIM —--------- • Ttete W» Xe*r I» September 13th D Tfi lEth iBfihuiw f . - - - I From the way matters are now be ing shaped, it is safe to say that the coming County Fair will ba one of the beet ever held In Tillamook. The dates are September 13 to the 16th inclusive, and from talk heard thus far in advance of the date, the stock show will be an attractive one. The esners of the several breeds are planning to put their stock in the best possible condition to be seen, and personal pride will enter into the show to a considerable extent, as it should. The poultry breeders are already preparing foi the coming event, and those interested in fowls will not be disappointed in the showing to be made. Another matter which will receive careful and enthusiastic attention on the part of Supt. Lamb and Miss Elizabeth Burr, county club leader, Is the school exhibits, whlch-tffomise to be unusually fine this year, and which the general public will look forward to with interest. New roofs have been added to the buildings at the Fair grounds, and additional room has been provided for the stock exhibits, which space was overtaxed last year. The poul try building has also been enlarged, end all of the buildings disinfected and whitewashed, adding a”neat and cleanly appearance.

LOCAL REALTOR RETURNS HOME A. C. Everson, returned Sunday afternoon from a 33 days trip east. He joined the delegation from Port land to the National Realtors asso ciation, which met in Chicago from the 12th to the 16th of July. The party was entertained at Salt Lake, Denver, Omaha and other towns along the route, and were treated royally. Herbert E. Hoover and other speakers of national repute sd dressed the convention. After the convention, Mr. Everson went 1.0 Memphis, thence south to New Or leans, thence to San -Antonio, Calves ton. El Paso, Texas, and while at tha latter place went over the line to Juarez Mexico. While at Gal veston he bathed in the Gulf of Mex ico, but thinks the soft water of the Tillamook section has it beaten ter the purpose. On his way home he stopped at Los Angeles, San Francis co, and while gone distributed much literature concerning Tillamook county. He found Tillamook cheese everywhere represented, and like a loyal Tlllamooker, when he came to make up his lunch for the last lap, he bought Tillamook efieese to add to the basket menu. Mr. Everson comes home with greater faith In Tillamook and Oregon than ever. A. F. Coates of »he Coates Lum ber mills at this piaoi. arrived Mon day night, and will remain a few days. Mr. Coates res'des in Seattle, where he has large interests. Asked concerning the outlook fir the lum ber business on the Northwest coast he stated that the present outlook was not particularly favorable. High railroad rates, and the unsettled conditions of the country were fac tors in the present depression of the lumber industry. He was hopeful, however, that world and national matters would adjust themselves, so that business of all kinds: would re gain its old time stride, in the near future. AT THE BEACHES Last week a government sealing vessel took a party of Bayocean peo ple out to the seal and bird rocks, and an oportunity was also given to see the sea lions at close /-ange. Deep sea fishing resulted in some good catches, a Portland lady land ing a 25 pound cod—with the help of some of the men of the party. At Manzanita beach Chester Weed of Vernonia unearthed a piece of bees wax that weighed 19 pounds. Many of the campers are digging for the hidden treasure of the Spanish ship deposited in that vicinity ac cording to Indian tradition, a cen tury or more ago. No luck so far. Crab fishing from the Nehalem jettie is another species of amuse ment that takes up the time of sev eral of the campers and cottagers. Huckleberry pie has made its ap pearance on the menus of the hotels and cottages. Twenty-five college students from Reed college, Portland, are operat ing the Bay Ocean hotel this season. Each student has a certain duty to perform, and they are on the Job every minute, attending to the wants of the hotel guests and campers. Lt. Lyle C. Smith snd his mechan ic, W. M. Berger of the Tillamook Aircraft company, have been doing some flying at tbe^iockaway beaih- es the past week. The long line of bard beach makes landing easy for the aviator, Many of the Rockaway people have taken rides. The contest for the queen of the YM-KM carnival ha« narrowed down to s race between three young women one from Rockaway, an other from Tillamook and a th rd from Wheeler The Rockaway con testant is Miss Lola Perkins of the Elmore hotel. Miss Perkins' frienos in Rockaway are backing ber to win the triangular contest for first place.

Married in TiMamook Or«., Augudt 14Mb, by I. W. Stanley. J- F. Anter of Yamhill county. and Mra Btta iMKranm of chumb n rumi nontis comuni nouai G. B. Lamb, county superintend ent of schools, la a Tlllamooker ia fact, having been born in this coun ty, where he attended the public schools during his youth, later en tering the Monmouth Normal school, a state educational Institution, from which he graduated. After teach ing for some time, he eras chcosen to the office of superintendent if schools in this county in 1898.. In 1916 he was again elected superin tendent, and is now serving the first year of his second term, since that time. The following facts concerning Tillamook county were gleaned this week, which should be of interest to Headlight readers: There are 55 schools in session in Tllinmook coun ty with 2774 children of school age 1972 of whom are registered and en rolled. 104 teachers are employed to educate these children. The aver age salary of more than one room is 8129 06. Average salary of princi pals, monthly, Is 3160.91. The to tal school expense for the year on In debtedness, salaries and running ex pense was 3262,619.45. New school bouses bu‘"t during the last year, cost 398,098.73. The number of school houses built last year was four, not including the gymnasium at Tillamook. New school houses were built at Bay City, Cloverdale. Wheeler and Brighton. The total school Indebtedness bonded and oth erwise in the county is 3160,884.22. Estimated value of school houses and grounds in county is 3334,125. Value of school furniture is 346,072. School transportation cost 38,184 last year. There are 8 transportation routes which would leave an average of 31023 for each, route. Approximate ly 103 children are conveyed to and from school each term, the average cost for each c hild being about 379.67. In some cases the autos hauled but few children, and only on a few occasions was a truck used that carried a full load. The trans portation has been satisfactory, be cause it has enabled children living at a distance to attend school, when they otherwise could not have been able to do so. School boards have been careful in securing good drlv- ers. There are five teachers' cot- tages in the county, which usually are located on the school grounds. They have averaged about 3400 ea'-h In cost. There are 21 playsheds tn the county—about half of the dis tricts being represented In this mat ter. On account of rain in winter, they are deemed a necessity, and are appreciated by the scholars, hence are a good investment. The number of libraries in the county la 55, with a total of 12,468 volumes. The m n ¡mum requirement is 10c for each child yearly. This year the county (Continued on Page 4) CHEESE MAKERS HOLD CONTEST ScorisR Contest With Thirteen En tries Is Object The Cheesemakers association held it’s regular monthly meeting on August first, at which time a scoring contest was held.

ANOTHER ROUTE ADDED DULL MARKET TORCES WISCON SIN PRODUCT DOWN TO 17 CENTS Carl Haberlach reports the cheeese market aa rather dull this week, aa Wiaeonain market made a further decline of two coats thia week. Cheese la now selling there at 17c. Under such conditions our cheese ta not moving faat at 34c, but ft la be lieved that their price will again ad vance shortly. Mr. Haberlach re ports that a large part of our pro duction is now going into storage for use next winter when cheese will undoubtedly be scarce. Checks for June milk will be out the 15th Inst. Prices generally range lc per lb ot butter fat higher than for May. It is thought at this time that July prices will exceed those of June by several cents as the in crease in price which occurred re- cently came too late to affect June prices. Unless an unforeeen slump occurs therefore, farmers may ex- pect slightly higher prices for July buttv'fat. Production Is decreasing rapidly throughout the country, the makers of this county being about 20 per cent less than during the maximum period in May. Dry weather is large ly responsible for the decrease Stbrage holdings throughout the country have also decreased both in butter and cheese, according to gov ernment reports. During the early portion <rt the year, storage holdings were far In excess of last year. Aa this time however, this condition no longer exists. Roy Grate, local agent for Che Southern Pacific Co. at Tillamook has recent advices from H. A. Hin shaw which may be of interest to lumber shippers. We ffuote: “In the past on lumber and forest products destined to territory east of the Mississippi river in the 'states of Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Mich igan, Minnesota, Arkansas, Wiscon sin, Ohio, Ontario New York, Penn sylvania and West Virginia, routing has been restricted to the Portland gateway. Effective Septembr 10, 1921, have arranged to publish the same rates via the Roseville Ogden gateway. This will give the shippers two FORMER CAPE MEARS HAN routes instead ot one, which they RETIRES ON A PENSION have heretofore enjoyed." « Tillamook Jerseys Shipped Capt. Andrew P. C.

Those who did not participate in the bathing, amused themselves in other ways, filling in a very pleas ant day. The day was quite a warm one, and the large number of camp ers and cottagers there, pronounced the atmosphere ideal for bathing and outdoor recreation, Old timers at that beach claimed that Sunday was the warmest day thus far this season.. Charley Talmage, for years a prominent politician and attorney of Tlllamopk, but now a resident of McMinnville, came over Sunday, and has been kept busy greeting old time friends here.
