Canadian markets are down to 13c, Wisconsin is selling for less than 18c What business is being done on Till amook is at 26c and 27c on triplets and 27c and 28c on Longhorns and If any Tlll- Young Americas. Also, . .amcoker wants any Christmas cheese, this Is the i time to get the orders in. The associativa bought ____ soma thousands of the small cartons to put Christmas cheese in, and these can be had at the various stores ln town and at several of the factories. The small cheese can be had at the Holstein, Fairview, R?d Clover, Ma ple Leaf and Mohler factories. Storage stock of cheese is down to 6000 boxes. It is es imated that cheese in storage, plus stock on hand and probable production to January 1st will make about 12,- 700 boxes. This will mean an eighth of the year’s cheese to be sold the next three months, or about half of the ordinary requirements. So it wil] be seen that rhe market should clean itself if given time and no cuts fire made to ntove stocks. A.. T0GGENBERG BILLY CHEWS BUT DOES NOT SWEAR Tuesday las i O. W. White, late o? 'Toledo, Orego^i, arrived in town with a herd of 26 Saan’en, Toggen- berg and Nubian miles goats, the bunch being mixed with the three breeds. One or two nannies and a buck, were pure-breds, the remain der being grades of the above named ypes. The herd is being taken to near Astoria, wh'ere Mr. White has purchased a new- home, with the Idea of starting a goat farm. The animals are very tame und fraternized with lire crowd os a side street, seemingly glad to see and be seen. One of the Billy goats accept ed several chews of plug tobacco, and in his dumb way asked for more A boy who was looking after he herd stared that the “Billy was crazy for plug tobacco, but had nev er shown much of a preference for a pipe and had never been known to swear.” The herd had been on the road ’wo weeks from Toledo.and stood the trip well. They were held up out south for a week by th'e flood and ell of that time Billy was with out chewing tobacco. BOY BREAKS ARM Roy Edgar of near Belding, while trying to get out of the way of a falling beam in a barn, one day last week, fell and broke his lef arm at the wrist. He was brought to this eity where he received medical at tention. FERRYING OVER THE TRASK Owing to the fact hat the lower Trask bridge is not In condition for travel, a man with a big rowboat is doing a good business ferrying far mers and others to and from Tilla mook. A minimum charge of 25c a Person is made by the ferryman- The bridge over Tillamook river two spans' of which were takeVi out by the breaking of a log boom dur ing the lae flood, will not be ready for travel for 10 or 12 days, accord ing to reports. This bridge shuts off travel to and from Nc’.arts. It I* s ated that here are about twenty «utomobiles on the Netarts side of the bridge, which were caught there °n the fateful Sunday of ■food memory. Many of them belong ’o duck hunters from this city. The sawmill at this place started ’awing last Monday, with the usual crew. (ixiiiliqljt TILLAMOOK. OREGON. THURSDAY. DECEMBER 1. 1921 PRICE *2.00 A YEAR FAMILY RESCUED BY WAY OF CART NEW TURBINE AT LIGHT PLANT A resident of the south part of tov.-n has his home surrounded by flood waters. Today he wheeled his daughter to unflooded land in a high wheeled cart so that she might at 'end school. During the former flood, himself and wife were taken out by neighbors in a boat. At that time he water was about two inches on the floor of the house, and the boa.men later cam'e back and saved the chickens and a cow. The cow, of course, did not come out in the boat but waded and swnm Sev eral people in the sou 21 part oi town haxl similar experiences, an<i many are somewhat apprehensive tnat these clr-ums ances and con ditions may be repeated.

Any man who Isn’t loyal « Ms home county, when it is having a hard time to keep its head above wa ter, ought to move out and rid the community of his undesirable presence. Hurrah! for Tillamook wet or dry! ■*. * " Ja* a * For some time past, the power at the electric Jight company’s plant has been rather inadequate to sup ply the great volume of juice re quired by its large circuits, but to day, another larger turbine was placed, and is ¡now in operation. This, it is believed, will furnish all the power required for some time to come, and those who have noticed the weakness of the lights at inter vals, will now see a marked improve nient. The company is to be con gratulated on giving the city and other towns depending upon it, a more than average good light service The only danger of a failure of lights during high water, lies in a possible overflow of Wilson river, which backs surplus water into Ho- quarton slough on which the plant is situated. At present the slough lacks several feet of reaching the en gine room of the plant. ’ 13 For a time yesterday, it was fear ed that the Trask river bridge cast of town was In grave danger oi be ing seriously damaged If not alto- gethed taken out by the second flood rise In the waters of the Trask riv er.

A large number of the logs were sub sequently recovered down the river and bay, but Mr. Coates stated to day that with the recovery of a large percentage of the runaway logs, the company would still face a loss of approximately five thousand dollars. JUDGE HOMER MASON ILL Judge Homer Mason was reported as being confined to his home north of town this morning, where he Is under the care of a physician. He has no i been feeling well for some time, and is unable to meet with the county court, which ts now in session on preliminary budget and county work. n 1 1922 BUDGET TO BE DRAWN UP WITH ASSISTANCE OF BOARD OF THREE TAXPAYERS BIG DIKE AT NEHALEM HOLDS OP WELL Eie Story of Two Weeks Ago Causes Much Trouble to Road System Commissioners Alley of the north end of the county ¡yid Farmer of the southern section are working in the GUN BURSTS—BOY HURT county court room this week amend ing to preliminary budget work and While out hunting ducks last Sun other routine county business, mean while keeping their ears ^open to day, Guy, a eon of A.

Seeking Relief 0 I Heavy rainfall for the past few days has again brought about conditions that threaten a Hood. The Trask river was out of its banks yesterday, and this morning is over flowing the low lands adjacent to town, and at other points The water is nearly level with thé piling lately driven to repair the break through the embankment between the cheese factory and the Trask river bridge, and is pouring through the gap in a big current. The pile driver has had to discontinue work, which was nearly finished before the present rise. It is reported that water in some places east of the Trask bridge leading from town, is nearly as high as it was during the Hood of two weeks ago. Reports from the north and south sections of town are to the effect that the water is steadily rising in those areas. Added to the rainfall, a nine foot two inches tide is scheduled for today, which it is feared will further aug ment the already high waters. A telephone message from W. B. Sutton who lives up Wilson river states that it is snowing in the mountain* above his place, but raining in his neighborhood. He say* that the Wilson river is several feet below the Hoad stage of two weeks ago. ____ __ . Old settlers here, nt the present writing, believe that the county is due for another Hood, provided the rain con tinues much longer. At IO a. m. today, the rain fell for twenty minutes or more like a cloudburst. . Tt is yet ton early to forecast an^tt,er nooct liut cCT?ir» tions on going to press point strongly in that direction. HAVE LITERARY SOCIETY To further a real community spir it this winter, the people living In school district No. 15, up on the Mi ami river will meet next Friday eve ning for the purpose of arganizing a debating society, the object being to encourage the young people In pnblic speaking and debate.

ROAD NOW CLEAR Yerf'erday the town was filled with trucks and automobiles front the Cloverdale and Heb«. sections, the people of that region having _ been shut off from Tillamook by the big slide a the Bigsby grade for ov er t<»h days. Many of the south-end people were loading up with staple provisions and feed supplies, which had threatened to run short during the slide blockade. Coun y Commis sioner Farmer this morning stated that the road from Tillamook to the southern boundary of the county along the life« of the highway was clear to travel, but that he would not vouch for the fujure behavior of the elements and slides. “I-ady Agnes Ormsby of Rock,” the fine pure-blood grand champion Holstein cow, owned by F R Beals of this city, was quite sick the fore part of the week, and the state vet erinary, Dr. Lytle, was sumnionert.
