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.

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.

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.

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.

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
