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.

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

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

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.
