DECEMBER 22. 1921 CHILDREN PLACED WITH AID SOCIETY COLD WIND BRINGS SNOW AND DISCOMFORT BUT VERY TLE DAMAGE CAUSED enöligljt LIT ASIDE FROM TELEPHONE LINES. Tlllamook county for several days past has been in the grip of snow ice and a howling east wind, the lat ter freighted with a cold breath that caused the average Tillamook resi dent to shrivel up and say uncom plimentary things about the weath er clerk for sending to this usually mild clime such a reminder of east ern weather. As usual, his thoughts turned to the southwest wind and rain, ever a satisfactory weather condition to the people of this coast and which is our normal winter con dition. Snow began falling briskly Satur day night, and continued at inter vals during Sunday. Sunday night the sniow ceased, and a blizzard, borne cm the always unfriendly east wind elbowed its way into conditions and held uninterrupted violent sway all of Monday and Tuesday of this week. The wind was almost Chinook in its force, and water pipes f«oze up in many - places in town, adding - ------- „ to the general discomfort. About two inches of snow remain at this writ ing, but road travel generally has not been interrupted. Information.as to temperature dur ing the storm vary. The lowest quo tations being from 19 to 21 degrees above. Monday was really the cold est day. On Wednetiay the ther- mometer shor.T-d 30 degrees above zero at 6 o’clock a. m. Between Grand Ronde and Willa- mina, stage men say that thei-e are about 11 inches of snow on the lev el, and that in places it drifted. By careful driving, there is no risk to travel on account of the snow along <he road. Reports from the upper Wilson river section indicate that there is considerable more snow in that part of the mountains, than on the main highway line. Theie was little damage done to the Mutual Telephone liie, barriag a few cross-pieces that weie blown down. The Bell line was able to op erate with long distance messages until Tuesday, when communication was interrupted for a time. A force of men are busy repairing damage at points between the Trask and the summit of the toast range, and the company was sending messages thru oa Wednesday. / No accidents or other untoward incidents have thus far been report ed as a result of the storm, and it la believed thaZ the backbone of the cold weather is broken. On Tuesday last six children of Mrs. Grace Childers, who has been living up on Trask river, were committed by County Judge Mason to the Girls’ and Boys’ Aid Society of Portland, tor care last Tuesday. Grave charges of alleged moral de llnquency have been filed against th’e mother, and Sheriff John Aschim who investigated conditions filed In formation “that the children wore dependent upon the public for sup port; that they do not have proper parental care or guardianship; that their home by reason of the neglect and depravity on the part of the mother, is an unfit place for the children.” In connection with the above case Sheriff Aschim arrested the mother, Grace Childers on a charge of "per mitting her minor female child un der the age of 16 years, to-wit: Myr tie Childers, to lewdly and lascivious ly cohabit with one Stanley Will iams, a male person over the age of 17 years.” Wesley Rainey was also arrested last week charged with "endeavor- ing to induce Hazel Childers to be come a delinquent child.” Wesley Raney and Grace Childers are alBo charged with “lewd co habitation. Rainey is said to be of legal age. The men were arraigned before Justice Stanley last Wednes day. Wesley Rainey was bound over to the grand Jury in the sum of $1000 and in default of bail was re-com mitted to jail. Stanley Williams, another of the men arrested in connection with the above case was committed by Judge Mason op Wednesday last to the Boys’ Training School at Sa lem, he being under age. Geo. Child’ers, who was also arrest ed in connection with the above case was arraigned Wednesday before Judge Stanley, and after a hearing, was bound over to the grand Jury in the sum of $250. Cleo Crocker had a hearing before Judge Mason Wednesday, and was adjudged a delinquent, an ordered eent to the State Industrial school at Salem. The unfortunate chfldre« rang« in age from Myrtle aged 14, to Ev- arn, aged two years._____ SCHOOL CENSUS OF COUNTY DISTRICTS SHOWS SLIGHT GAIN GREETINGS The Headlight wishes its readers a Merry Christmas » NOVEMBER CHEESE LOCAL GUERNSEY IS NOW BEING SOLD STANDS ACE HIGH The following is aft exchange of telegrams between the secretary of the creamery association and the Public Service Commission of Oregon regarding freight reductions, both dated 21st of December: "Please advise if any freight re duction ordered on intrastate freight shipments as of January first. We have been holding up shipments as have been ordered on interstate shipments” To this the following answer was received from the public service com mission. "This commission has granted special permission to principal Ore gon carriers authorizing publication tsn per cent reductons agricultural products concurrently with similar reductidns authorized by Interstate Commerce Commission. Tariffs not yet received but latest advices con firm effective date January first. Our understanding these carriers substi tute reductions not dependent upon pending action Interstate Commerce Commission hay and grain case nine two nine.” Can Haberlach reports that the cheese market is in a fairly active condition, storage holdings b«\ng slightly in excess of 3000 cases at all points. Quite a little of the Novem- ber cheese is left in the factored«, but this will all move out as soon as storage holdings ar« further re duced, says Mr. Haberlach. The school census of the school distriots of this county which was taken during the month of October . last, has just been tabu! ited I County Superintendent G. B. Lamb. One noteworthy feature of the cen sus is that it shows but 18 more children of school age in the county than a similar census showed last year. Supt. Lamb account» for »his small increase by the fact that at Wheeler and Garibaldi, many of the families have gone away, owing to the inactivity of the sawmills in those places.

The present champion is “Duchess Ruth", a Guernsey cow owned in Wisconsin, which has been uubeat- able 3ince she annexed the belt in her class in 1918. "Duchess Ruth" began her official test on July 9th. 1918. In 295 days she produced 658.52 pounds of but terfat. winning the championship of her class. During her test she pro duced 14,644.20 pounds of milk, and her average test was 5.81. The above record is what the Till amook cow will have to beat, and barring bad luck of some sort, riM will come through with the belt. "Janis of Sequoia,” in her test thus far, in the same number of days (295) has produced 707.08 lbs of butterfat, having a lead over the Wisconsin cow of 48.58 pounds, at the end of the above period. Her owner states that she is not only holding her average thus far, but is Increasing her milk low. The Ore gon cow will finish her official test on the 8th day of May next, and if she maintains her lead, the world will have a new record to beat. The contender is 5 years old, and was sired by "Alma's Glen of Mound City,” and her mother was recently bought by Edmunds from the Berns brothers north of town.- The latter dairymen also own "Sequoia’s" sire. The contest between the two cows is attracting great attention ia both Oregon and Wisconsin, the homes of the ¡espective animals, and the lead ing stock journals of this country, as well as thoee of foreign nations, are eager for test news for publica tion, as the contest goes on. In Its clasB, and among Guernsey cows, it is a fight royal for ths honor of the title of the best cow in the world. Local and state Guernsey breeders are betting on the Oregon cow, baa ing their Judgment on Tillamook grass and the superior climatic con ditions that prevail here. Miss Mabel Johnson of Portland, who visited at the John Carrol home recently, returned to her home the latter part of last week. J. N. Show of Corvallis, who la on the veterinarian staff of O. A.
