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.

One noteworthy feature of the cen

small increase by the fact that at

"Janis of Sequoia” the Guernsey
cow owned by Howard Edmunds of
this city, still leads her competitor
for the world’s championship in
class AA for Guerneys.
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.

OLD JUSTICE COURT CASE IN
WHICH DEAD ELK FIGURES
In looking over th* old records of
the county recently, the following
case was noted. We give the com-
plaint, omitting iiamvs:
"In Justice’s Court for Garibaldi
precinct; civil actio« to recover mon
ey.” Plaintiff alleges in his com
plaint “that he was the owner of the
carcass of an Mg, reasonably worth
$50. That the defendant «nlawfully
took possession of said carcan and a>
propriated it to his own use.”
Following pages faH to tell the so
quel, and it is presumed that the de
fiendant ate up the elk and enjoyed
it, probably to the gTeat mental and
physical anguish of the plaintiff.
The entry is dated Sept. 1», 1890,
when the noble elk was unprotected
and had to look out for hie own
