t THE TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT their nests in the cliffs; disdaining the tall firs and hemlocks, as a place of rest. The guano coated surfaces of the Arch-Rocks would prove of inestim able value to soils of the coast farm er and dairyman, on account of its excellent fertilizing proprieties; but for two reasons; first, and foremost to be reckoned with, comes the cost of getting the fertilizer to market. Secondly, it is not likely that the government authorities would care to have the bird life disturbed. The clumsy sea-lions, and their foresidents, the strange, wild types of sea-birds, represent the- link be tween the present and the dim past, that lead back to the cave-man, and the other animal monstrosities of which the sea-lion and the cormor ant are but a degenerated survival. Thus, within a mile distance, one may see on one hand the types of the present civilization,* and on the other, savage, uncouth and bestial remnants of uncivilized and remote ages. ' As types of animal and half-bird and half-anitnal life have arisen in the past, and populated the waters of the oceans, as well as the evolving earth crust, so must they gradually conform to succeeding earth life, its uses and intelligence; or, having served their purpose gradually be come extinct and pass as to species. Three Arch-Rocks form an at traction on the _ Tillamook coast, to those who care to examine into biological effects, or who are inter ested in the study of that particular phase of sea life, which seems so intimately related to past ages. With a good pair binoculars, one may get fairly good results by study- the bird life on Three-Arch Rocks from the shore heights; and to those who care, or who have a developed bent for the curious and unusual in nature, a vigil of the kind above referred to, has its compensations. ^Incorporated 312 DEPARTMENT STORES n Tillamook, Girls Gingham Dresses For 'Spring That Are Lovely Here are four extremely handsome little styles in girls dresses that came to ,us in a series ,of re cent remarkable purchases by one of our New York buy ers, which mothers and their daugh ters alike fannot tail to appreciate and .enjoy.

The gulls have remarkably sharp eyes, and during the day are every where 'n evidence. They follow up the coast rivers and devour the dead salmon; they congregate around sal mon-dressing shops, and greedily seizeoffal of the packing houses, figthing, squawking and hustling— There Arch Rocks bird reserva- each for himself; and it is astonish ion, which lies just off the Netarts ing how much of feed the ordinary tapper beach, is the home of many gull will consume within a few strange sea animals and bird«.

At the close of day they inhabitants of these rugged rucks, may be seen winging homeward t« Tdtuated more than a mile from the Tillamook coast line, have a world of their own, and are free from in s-up tl on. for tba fearsome breakers intervene for their protection. (Continued from page one) besides tearing out dams and ponds on Oold creek. Since that time, however, Mr. Pollock has built a fine new suspension bridge reach ing fr -m the north bank to the hatchery building, and has rebuilt ponds, dams and made other im provements to compensate for por tions of the plant which were wrecked by the flood. He has also Improved the grounds, and set out a lot of flowers which will beautify the premises, as the hatchery always has many visitors during the spring and summer months. A large number of fish eggs, run ning into hundreds of thousands, are now being hatched in the big hatchery building, and yet many more fish will be taken, as the new gal mon run begins—in fact, there Is always something doing and to be done at a fish hatchery, and the work alj has its appointed time and must be done at the right time, and speed*.!" to get the best results.

She is now giving about 38 pounds of milk daily, and la on the 14th month of her milking. She was re cently tested by S. A. Pinkerton, an expert tester from the University of California, whose expense on the trip was about 3160. He stayed here four days, and pronounced the Tillamook cow the best animal of “If her blood he had ever seen. ‘Janis’ shall make 37 pounds of milk daily with a 6.4 test up to the first of June, she will doubtless the world’s championship class,’’ states her owner, event, she will be second race which means that she wdll be the second-best cow in her class in the world. In order to win, however, in ad dition to her expected milk average and daily test,she will have to calve successfully within the period of the contest. Mr. Edmunds thinks the contest will be a close one, but figures that the difference between the two contenders will resolve it self to a matter of only a few pounds. He believes that the clim ate and feed conditions here should pull the Oregon cow through to win. “Sequoia” made 10 pounds more of butter-fat in March of this year than was made in the same month in 1921, which shows that she is gaining Instead of falling down. The next association tester may come from the east, although the competitors never know who he is or where he will come from until he is on the ground.
