Tillamook,.Oregon, Friday, May 12 ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ❖ ♦ SALVATION ARMY GUERNSEY FANS IS IT DESERVING? PLANNING FOR CO. EXPOSITION prizes have been increased ON STOCK TO FIVE—NEW AR RANGEMENTS ARE MADE ON GROUNDS. BEING The purpose of the Salvation Army can best be -expressed by the motto of the organization: “The world for Christ and Christ for the world,’’ as well as by the charge given by its founder to go for souls and go for the worst. Touched by the awful conditions of the masses Of darkest England, and later of all lands, General Booth believed the salvation of God to be the only pan acea for existing conditions. The results accomplished during the intervening years justify the claims of the Army that the solu tion of present and social and Indus trial evils is to be found in the ap plication of the principles advocated by the lowly Nazarene. which is first, loving God, and second, loving your neighbor. The spread and growth of the Sal- uation Army since its inception in 1865 has been nothing short of mir aculous. From the lonely figure standing on Miles End waste in Lon don, dedicating his life to God and the saving of mankind, it has spread to all the corners of the world. Without previous plans, men and wpnten touched by the same spirit, but moving from England to their parts of the world, continued their work for “OTHERS” thus planting the Army’s flag. It was the Shirley family of London, having settled in the City of Brotherly Love, who started the Salvation Army in the United States, in a deserted chair factory, and who finally induced General Booth to send a small party of his officers to officially open the work on this side of the Atlantic; the start of this work on other con tinents was accomplished in similar ways. The Salvation Army operates to day in 72 countries, and colonies and preaches the gospel In 42 dif ferent languages. It works in 11’- 000 different cities and has more than 18,000 commissioned officers in its ranks. Truly it can be said that the sun never sets on the Sal vation Army. It should be borne in mind in con sidering the grov^h of the Salvation Army that it was accomplished in the face of much and serious perse cution. The privilege enjoyed to day by the Salvation Army, of preaching on the street corners of the cities of the world, and doing its great work among the poor and fal len was gained only by enduring the hatred of the mob as well as the contempt of the so-called respectable element. It was nothing new in the early days to be covered with mud from head to foot, to be stoned while marching the streets, or having every window of their halls and building smashed by the angry mob. To be stoned while doing good was a new experience, and in some in stances, members of the Army gave their lives while trying to help the helpless. To be tn prison and sent to work on the rock pile was en joyed by many ot the Salvationists. In spite of all this opposition and persecution the Army was able to advance. What may not the future hold in store in the matter of progress with a generous and sympathetic public to stand by and assist with money and time so much needed. May 18, 19 and 20 have been set aside as donation days to this wor thy organization. The Central Com mittee of Tillamook County, of which Sheriff Aschim is chairman, requests that every one contribute what they can. The money so con tributed will be used only for wfirk in the State of Oregon. A com mittee for every district in the county has been appointed, and will call on you. Every one contributing will be given a receipt and button. Give whatever you can. help the Army that helped win the war. The ninth annual Tillamook fair will be held on September 12, 13, 14 anil 15th of this year, one day earlier than the initial date of last year. The management hope to make it the best fair ever held here, and will bend its energies to that end, with the cooperation of the pub lic. Much responsibility will rest upon the public, as it will have to furnish the exhibits, and it is hoped that every one will have something in stock, farm products, poultry, culinary or other exhibits. The achool exhibits will also form an important part in the display. An important change this year will be found in the increase of the premiums for stock. Where former ly there were three prizes, this year there w'll be five, and the first prize will be increased from $8 to $10; and so on in the same ratio down th' list, the fifth premium being $2. In the awards for young stock the first prize will be $8, and the fifth prize $1. The milking contest has been eli inated for this year, and the i ney will be used to increase other prizes. In the vegetable and horticultural di , , tments, a sweepstake prize of $; will be offered to the person or in ims taking the most premiums in hie departments; this means that if the exhibitor or exhibitors take worth of premiums, and more than other exhibitors, ths win- i.< will get the $25 plus and addi- tt aal to the regular premiums offered, which should be an addi tional inducement for good-natured competition. In the textile department a total of $100 will be offered for prizes; $50 for the first prize, $25 for the second, $15 for the third, and $10 f< the fourth. They will be Ju Iged as to display, quantity, qual ity, and as to neatness and at i nngement. In the floral department, some of th«' money has been taken from pi. iliums heretofore offered which It. 1 tided flowers not widely grown in this country and this money has been added to premiums represent ing flowers of more importance tn the coast section. It has been hinted that Fred C. Baker might take over the matter of th. business men's concessions, and it is believed that such arrange ment with him vfould result in a creditable display by the local busi- ness men of their goods and Indus trie; The fair will receive added impetus and importance should the business men decide to make a general display, a the one held at the last fair session was a decided attraction. It is understood that there will bo but one main entrance from the road to the fair grounds this year, instead of two. as was the case last year. The new gate will be near the center of the enclosure. The gate for stock, and for the feed trucks will be changed so as to di vert al) such trafle through an open field direct to the stock sheds, thus not interfering with the crowds, and lessening the dust clouds. It ; also rumored that a pure bred stock sale will be had at this year on the last day of the fair, but th' ha i not been definitely settled. The fair book is now ready for the Printer, and It is hoped that this year', ’ iks will be available by the MAY OPERATE PLANE AGAIN first if July, as there would then be two month's tn which to study the The big bi-plane owned by Lieut.

It is learned that a big bar tug is soon expected to arrive for the use of the company from Seattle; and it is also stated by a resident of that city that steam schooners for lumber carrying trade will follow in the near future, and be ready to take cargoes of lum ber to the southern markets. When this occurs the bay will take on new activity, and add interest to life along the water front of the cove, and important to shipping interests of our harbors. It is understood that the tug will remain here to es cort the ships in and out of the bar entrance. Verily, Tillamook bay’s one time shipping prestige bids fair to come back, good and strong.

LOST HOMING PIGEON VISITS STANLEY COATES HIT BY CABLE ELECTION DM MAN STILL LIVES FOR PRIMAMES DRAWING NEAR THREE SEPARATE BALLOTS TO BE USED NEXT FRIDAY. THIR TY POLLING PLACES IN THE COUNTY OF TILLAMOOK, May 19 th is primary day. If you wish to vote, remember the djy- If you are not duly registered In the precinct and county where you wish to vote, and have resided 30 days in the precinct, and 60 days in the state state, next preceeding the day of primary election, you can register at the polls by swearing In your vote with the assistance of two freehold ers. Persons wishing to make a. change of politics may do so on election day, and will be given the ticket of their choice by the judges. In voting, be sure to mark an X between the number and .name of the candidate for whom you wish to vote. Should you write in a name, be sure to place an X between the number and name to be voted for, as otherwise the vote \will do your candidate no good. There are three separate and dis tinct elections to occur at the com ing primary. First, the general primary nominating election; sec ondly, an election for the recall of Fred A. Williams, a member of the public service commission of the thate; thirdly, for the recall of Fred A. Williams, a member of the same board. In this county candidates will be voted for as follows: Circuit judge, joint with Washington county; one representative in the state legisla ture; one county commissioner. Then there will be the regular state nom inations also. There are thirty polling places in the county, and the ballot boxes for the coming election will be sent out by the sheriff next week, while the clerk is looking after the ballots. The ballots for the oounty will be smaller this year on account of the fact that there are so few county officers to be nominated. Hit by a heavy steel cable at the base of ear, and rendered uncon scious for hours. Hugh Wallace an employee of the Jenk & Alley ■ mill and lodging camp at Beld- ; ; n lies in a local hospital in this city with fair chances for recovery. Wallace was operating a steel cable 400 feet in length, when It snapped under strain, and one of the ends struck him at the base of his ear. It was first thonght that Wallace was dead, but it is now thought that he will recover, as there was no frature of the skull. His escape is attributed to the fact that he was leaning sideways when the blow came, as otherwise it <s feared his neck would have been broken. The accident oc curred Sunday last about noon. Wallace is a son of Bud. Wallace of Hemlock. « OLD TIMER REVISITS FRIENDS IN TILLAMOOK Christopher Mills for many years a resident of this county, and a homesteader in the Beaver section nearly thirty yearB ago, spent two or three days in Tillamook and else where in the county last week. For several yea*«, past he has lived in California, Ohio and West Virginia, but epout a year ago, came back to Oregon, and now resides in Salem. At one time Mr. Mills was in busi ness in this city, but has not been here before his recent visit for 11 years, and expressed astonishment at the growth of the city, which was a mere village when he came to the county. Mr. Mills is 75 years of age, and served in the Civil War. He witnessed the hanging of Mrs. Sur ratt and the other men in the con spiracy to kill President Lincoln, ..nd was a guard at the national prison at Washington for some time during the war. He was present at the surrender of Gen. Lee at Apparn- attoh court house, at the close of the Civil war, and Is a survivor of the fast thinning legion of the G. A. R. Through the courtesy of the Headlight, he asks to be kindly re membered to his old friends in this county whom it will be Impossible to see on this visit. DANIELS' COW TILLAMOOK JERSEY DEMON STRATES REMARKABLE FEAT NEVER BEFORE EQUALED— ENTITLED TO GOLD MEDAL. The senior two-year old Jersey cow, St. Mawes Pretty Lady, not content with producing 824 pounds of butterfat and thereby annexing the title of champion butterfat cow of her class in the world, last Wed nesday dropped a fine bull calf which entitles her to the further distinction of being the only cow of her class in the world to carry a living calf during her butterfat teBt, and then successfully drop it. No other cow in the world in her class has ever equalled this feat, and the owner, Lester Daniels of the Daniels Jersey Farm of this county, is elated and justly so. The butterfat record of St. Mawei Pretty Lady entitles the winner to a gold medal, and the American Jer sey Cattle Club should feel proud of the record of this little Jersey cow, away out in Oregon, where nu tritious grass and equable climate conspire to make champions. Jersey breeders all over the world will soon know of this ad ditional feat of the Oregon senior two-year old, and Mr. Daniels is due for congratulations front various parts of the world. The champion's dam, Olga Lad’s Dewbell, recently finished a yearly butterfat test of 633 pounds, and also dropped a fine bull calf, for good measure. This proves that the family of Jerseys to which the cham pion belongs is not only one of fat producers, but also is one of depend able and prolific breeders, two qual ities that make for top-notchere, and which stamps the family as one of the best in the world of the breed. 0UNTY CLERK AND SHERIFF PREPARING FOR PRIMARIES The biennial primaries are close HENRY DUNSTAN RE-VISITS at hand, occuring as they will on. TILLAMOOK. 86 AND WELL the 19th of the present month. Clerk Brlmball has completed the list of Henry Dunstan, who used to Uvd Judges and clerks of election, and EARL A. MERRILL ARRESTED Stanley Coates has been interest AND ADJUDGED INSANE out at Hemlock, this county, several the sheriff will look after the voting ed until last year in racing homing pigeons. But he has been too busy for r. year or more to pay further at tention to this pastime. ' Wednes day morning he caught a strange pigeon on a window sill in the third story of the court house, which proved to be a lost carrier bird, which bore the name of R. T. Gwilyn Seattle, engraved on an aluminum band on one leg, and the number “Seattle 900-21.” on the other leg. Gwilyn is one of the best known pigeon racers on the coast, and his bird, thinks Mr. Coates, was proba bly on a homing trip from San Fran cisco, when lost, rnd came here for food, whlih he states they will do when weak and hungry. Just why it oame to the only room occupied by a pigeon racer in this county is one of the things that may be cred ited either to the wings of chance or the uncanny perception of a bird “that knew.” Mr. Coates will write to the owner about the pretty little prisoner which Is just now enjoying his hospitality. Earl A. Merrill, aged about 25 years, and recently from Portland, was picked up on the streets here this week by Marshal White and locked up on a charge of annoying the girls on the streets. Sheriff Aschim having recognized Merrill as an old offender in Portland, and of unsavory reputation, haled him before the county judge who had him examined by Dr. Boles as to his sanity. The Doctor pronounced Mer rill criminally insane, and the authorities at the Oregon Insane Asylum were notified to come and get him. It appears that Merrill has been in that institution before, and is a sex pervert.

The ticket will soon be completed and then placed in the hands of the printer, when every thing will be ready for the coming event. The triangular fight in this county for representa tive in the legislature is beginning to warm up, and also the contest for commissioner, but most of the county officers this year are exempt from the worry of election, as their terms continue through this year. Judge Bagley, for Circuit Judge, will suc ceed himself as he has no opposition in either county.
