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.

of Saquois Stands
Good Show To Be Champion
"Janis of Sequoia,” the Guernsey
cow owned by Howard Edmunds of
this city, is approaching the cul
mination of her contest with the
Wisconsin
cow “Dutchess Ruth,”
for the world’s championship in the
AA class of the above-named breed.
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.
The only way to approach these
rocks, is from the sea, and even then
