SELLING OF CALVES IS UNDER
TAKEN BY ORGANIZATION—
IS ATTENDED BY MUCH sue-
CESS.
The Tillamook County Cow Test­
ing Association is gaining in cows
and membership by leaps and
bounds. Last year 1700 cows i were
under test; today there are 2500
on the contract books, and 1 it is
confidently believed that by the
end of the year the number will be
3000—some gain.
The association has increased at
least 50 per cent since the County
Agent and Paul Fitzpatrick, the sec­
retary of the association, formulated
the calf-selling campaign. Credit is
due these gentlemen in proportion
to their work for the success of the
enterprise,and the aBsotiation dairy­
men are reaping the benefits. Be­
fore the campaign was put on calves
sold for from $3 to $5 each, Now
each calf sold by the association
nets the owner $9.50. All calves
shipped are guaranteed by the as
«o< iation to be from a ■lam pro-
civ.cing not less than 3j)0 pounds of
butler fat annually. The sire to

shipments have Gild ihe bill.
Where there v.e-e two testers
employed last year .hroe ar» now

and Allen.
To date the association, through
the agriculturist, has shipped 125
calves, with 350 orders on file,
with the neat sum of $3500 in the
banks here to the credit of the as­
sociation.
As a rule two calves are shipped
to the crate, where the order calls
for that number to one place, and
the little blue-blood bossies are sent
as for east as Montana and all the
— replacements have been made by the
dairymen. The states from which
the most orders have been received
are Washington, Idaho and Mon­
tana. It is believed by the agricul­
turist that next year will show a
wonderful increase in calf sales.
Much of the county agent’s time
is taken up in Inspecting calves for
“ shipment as he personally sees that
none but the best calves are shipped
as that is to the lnterest of the
association.
One man in Miontana recently
«ent In an order for 100 head of
young calves and said If they proved
satisfactory, he would take more,
but his order could not be filled,
as the calves were not to be had.
The calves sold are all Guernseys.
(
Jerseys and Holsteins—three lead­
ing breeds. The demands are about
evenly distributed between
the
three kinds.
To prove that there Is some work
connected with the calf sale enter­
prise, It was learned that more
than one thousand letters have been
answered by the county agent’s of­
fice concerning calf sale« and sh">-
ments since the first of the year.

itself willing to exhibit these pic­
tures if the parents would cooper-
, ate with them and send their chlld-
ren to witness the plays.

county.
The Lambs now live in
Portland, but come over once or

ATTORNEY ASPIRES FOR POSI-
TION OF GOVERNOR WHTTF,
OTHERS ARE AFTER LESSER
JOBS.
Judge Webster Holmes of this
city decided Thursday afternoon
that he would file with the Secre­
tary of State his candidacy for the
primary nomination for governor on
the democratic ticket.
For some
time past he has been urged by the
leading democrats of the state to
allow his name to go before the
forthcoming primaries for the nom-
¡nation and today his fillng will go
forward. Next week his declara-
tion of principles will be published
’ together with biographical sketch.
Geo. P. Winslow has filed his
candidacy for representative in the
legislature from this county, with
the Secretary of State, as a repub­
lican.
Mr, Winslow is an attorney of
this city and a member of the firm
of Botts & Winslow, and he has re­
sided here since 1913. He is a na-
tive Oregonian, having been born
in Polk county, where he passed
the eighth grade in the home
schools, later attending Willamette
University. He was admitted to the
bar in 1913 and settled in this city
the same year for the practicing of
his profession.
Mr. Winslow is coming out for
representative at the solicitation of
numerous friends, who have con­
fidence in his ability and judge­
ment.
The following is taken from his
notice of filing to the Secretary of
State: "If I an not nominated, I will
not accept the nomination or en­
dorsement of any party other than
the one in which I am registered.
If I am nominated and elected, I
will, during my term of office,
work for legislation that will re­
duce taxes, especially on real es-
tate, and for a retrenchment in
public expenditures,
Will work
to compel the highway commission
to complete original plan for im­
provement of state highway, includ­
ing the paving of twenty miles
south of Tillamook City.
Taxes
must be reduced and in order to do
this I will favor cutting all appro­
priations and abolishing all useless
commissions and will require the
same value for a dollar we re-
celved la pre-war days.”

TILLAMOOK-MCMINNVILLE
. ROAD HAS BEEN CLOSED
The Tillamook highway was closed
last Saturday by the local state
highway engineer, to travel, on the
part of heavy auto trucks over the
Sourgrase section between Dolph
and the Bee Rnch, a distance
close to five and one half miles. The
prohibited road is that part which
was worked on late in the season
by the state highway force, and
heavy truck travel this winter has
placed the road in a very bad con­
dition to travel.
It Is understood
that the prohibition extends only
to heavy loaded trucks, and will not
apply to trucks lightly loaded, nor
to the daily stages. The road upon
which travel is now taboo, will be
finished next summer, so it is said.
As many as 12 big, loaded trucks
have been seen to pass the Sourgras3
section in one day this winter, and
the effect has been to cut the road
almost into ribbons.
Should good
weather dry out the roods, it is pre­
sumed that the order will be lifted,
but it probably will be early sum­
mer before the big trucks will again
appear in Tillamook .
LOCAL MEN LEASE TRASK
ROAD HOOSE FOR RESORT
' M. E. Gruber and Charley Barnes
ot this city have leased the old
Trask road house slxteei miles up
the Trask river from Tillamook,
and with it 640 acres of farm and
pasture land belonging thereto, and
will open a resort and hotel to the
public the first of May. The hotel
has 26 rooms and is located in the
midst of a fine hunting and fishing
region. The firm expects to keep
the resort open summer and win­
ter, and both have had considerable
experience in catering to the public.
Mr Barnes formerly conducted the
Ramsey hotel of this city, and Mr.
Gruber has been clerk at the Tilla­
mook hotel for some time past, and
was for 11 years a member of the
Portland police force, where he has
many friends, who have volunteered
to come ove' and see him in his new
location.
The new firm expect to
run some stock on the place in ad­
dition to the hotel business.
The
place has been named "Trask
L<odge,” and promises to be well
patronized by Tillamook and other
towns of the county, as a new and
pleasing outing place, within easy
distance and over a scenic road.
The road house was very popular
before the new highway diverted
travel another way, but there is
yet considerable summer travel that
way from the outside.

EXPERT PUZZLED OVER REASON
PRESSURE ON
LOW
WATER
CITY
MAINS—SOMETIMES AS
LOW AS 35 POUNDS. —
Tom Coates, Tillamook's Fire
Chief, in speaking of the city’s fire
fighting appliances, one day this
week, stated that the department 1 b
now tn a good state of efficiency,
except for the need of more hose.
He said there is a present need for
at least 1,000 feet of new hose, but
one line could be laid to the slough
in case of emergency. He contends
that the department should be able
to lay two lines during a fire. Some
of the hose now on hand is from
10 to 15 years old, and if the city
expects the department to be
fully prepared to cope with a big
fire, it should have hose that eould
be depended on In case of a big.
blaze, as old hose under pressure
cannot be trusted to stand up. Be-
sides one line of hose should be kept
drying, while the other sections are
in use.
Mr. Coates stated that the water
commission last year put in five
new pumper hydrants, which have
added considerable protection to the
city sections where placed.
Other
parts of the city need new pump
hydrants, and they probably will be
added by the commission in the
near future. Between Eighth and
Twelfth streets and Second avenue
east and Sixth avenue south of
Eighth street, comprising close t o
twenty blocks, there are neither
water mains nor hydrants, and the
district can only be reached by the
Tenth street and 2nd avenue east
pumping hydrant.
The pressure for some time past
has run from 35 to 50 pounds,
states Mr. Coates. Recently a Port­
land engineer came in to ascertain
why the pressure for fire purposes
is so far below the average pressure
of other cities of like population.
After some time spent in examina­
tion, it is understood that the
engineer xpressed himself as being
greatly puzzled.
One thing he
noted was that the night pressure
was not increased over that of the
day pressure, as usually is the case.
At last accounts the expert had not
worked out the local problem. The
pressure, where usual conditions
are prevalent, should run from 86
to 90 pounds during a greater part
of the night, when there is no do­
mestic use of the flow.
One thing that Chief Coates is
especially pleased with In connec­
tion with the fire department Is
that the lungmoter purchased some
tlm® ago for tho use of the city,
which has paid flor Itself many
times over in the matter of sav­
ing human life. Engineer Glenn
Terry is getting to be quite an ex­
pert with the motor, and has been
called several times when patients
in hospitals and homes of the city
were in need of oxlgen stimulant
at critical times in the progress of
pneumonia and other bad cases.
Two tanks of oxygen have been
used by the department In aiding
sufferers in this city recently. Its
successful use is Indicated In cases
of sudden collapse on th* operating
table, and in pneumonia.
