The owner investigated the trio hurriedly. "By gosh. Judge, you- 're right!” he exclaimed scratch ing his head. So he yanked out the superfluous royeter and added a meek looking pullett and the judging went merrily on. 1 •. f il’TSIDE PEOPLE S EEM WELL pleased with livestock exhibit at fair ----------------- : r - .<!■ tlAMOOK SAID 10 HAVE FINE SHOWING ocal Cattle Rate High Among Those Of Northwest ---------- • i Kkil John L.

A FIVE YEAR OLD GUERNSEY COW. WITH RECORD OF 455 POUNDS OF BUTTER FAT IN SIX MONTHS. IS POSSIBLE WORLD S CHAMPION School Childrens' Exhibits Hold Much Interest For Visitors At The County Exposition Enough has developed thus far to justify the statement that the 12th annual fair will prove a success far beyond the expectations of the man agement. If there were no. other features to add to its success, the magnificent showing of pure-bred cattle alone, would be enough to fill every loyal Tillamooker with local pride. But other features have added to the show, which entitle it to be hail ed as the very best fair ever held in this count> While the Headlight cannot hope to give the events of the entire ses sion, it must be satisfied to deal with the fair this week in a general way. The leading exhibit is the stock show. The Jersey breeders exhibit ing were forty in number, with 73 head of stock in the show stalls, In the Jersey class Louie Webber an nexed the silver cup for the best ex hibit of get of sire. His exhibit con sisted of five head, Among them were some of the best Jerseys in the Northwest. The Holstein exhibit consisted of 15 head, and F. R. Beals won the best get of sire cup for the second time in succession. Lady Aggie Orms by of Rock has broken the world’s record for tnree years past in the class of 3-year-olds, as a milk pro ducer and made approximately 1100 pounds of butter from 30,000 pounds of milk. She has been the grand champion cow for three yeaers and still holds the title, and is a mag nificent specimen of her breed. China cum Wayne Monarch Cornucopia holds the state record also, in her class of mature milkers, and is a beauty. f H. R. Edmunds' Janis of Sequoia Guernsey, 5 year’s old cow has just closed a six months record of 45 and 86-100 pounds of butter fat, and if she makes 400 pounds of butter during the next 6 months of her yearly test, she will be the world’s champion producer. Mr. Linklater, who judged the cow this year, says she ‘s the prettiest cow he ever saw. Mr. Linklater also stated that the Tillamook stock exhibit far exceeds that of the Spokane Stock Show on all points. Mr. Edmunds also won the Guern (Concluded on page eight J £ J. P.

D. Smith in ^unnymead brought the fire depart ment into play the latter part of last Week, but before the chemical could be turned on the smokehouse and a c^ickenhouse near it were consumed bi- the flames. Mrs. Smith had been visiting at one of the neighbors and tl|e fire was not noticed until it had giined considerable headway. ¡Someone’s carelessness in dump ing hot ashes near a pile of old pa- p«r and other combustable refuse wks said to have been the cause for an alarm sent in from the Gem apart ments this week. The firemen were soon on the scene and the small blaze extinguished before any considerable damage was done. Fortunately, no show was being held In the building when the alarm was turned in. The theatre having been closed up while the free moving picture show is on at the fair ground this week. MILL TO OPERATE DURING WINTER Outlook In Lumber Industry Thot Better Mrs. U.

The mill at Bay City it is believed will continue to operate this fall and winter, and the box factory at Twin Rocks is also running steadily. There Is considerable conjecture regarding the big mill at Cove, but thus far there is nothing definite as to when it will begin work, alhough new bunk houses are bing built at the logging camp, and there is some ac tivity on the campany’s railroad line leading to its timber tracts.

RECENT PURCHASE BY LOCAL MEN MAY RESULT IN LARGE IMPROVEMENT OF BEACH PŒIERS 10 BUILD BLLV CENTER Extensive Program Is Planned For Coming Winter With the object of developing the tract at Netarts known as the Max well Place and of turning it into a first class beach resort, H.

We feel that the improve ment has long been needed and that the people of Tillamook city espec ially will appreciate having an up-to date beach resort within a few miles of their homes. "A townsite is to be laid out on the tract and a business center built up, with stores, hoels, offices, gar ages and other such buildings be sides a residence section for those who wish to have their homes there. We believe that Netarts is fast com ing into its own. "It is our intention to build a seen ic road to the top of Maxwell moun tain where a view can be obtained that rivals anything that can be seen along the Columbia River highway. The rocks at Maxwell Point will be tiinneled so as to allow visitors« to get at the caves in the lower rocks at any tide. We have.
