ASSOCIATION SECRETARY BACK FROM TRIP THROUGH SOUTH- SAYS LOS ANGELES TS BEST MARKET FOR LOCAL CHEESE Carl Habeilach returned to Tilla mook Monday from a trip to San Francisco and Los Angeles, where he and mrs. Haberlach had gone in the interest of the cheese business, in cidentally taking in the Shriner’s convention for a time. Regarding conditions Mr. Haber lach made the following statement: “We found general conditions better In California than in Oregon. Crops looked better in California than in Oregon. Oats and hay, es pecially East of the Willamette, show signs of a very good crop, which means higher hay prices for our people this winter. The winter freeze did some considerable damage to oranges iu Southern California, "sr^cially In low nJ'"'«’«' “Los Angeles, our best market for a wonderful city. Our cheese is in very good favor all over California, in fact Tillamook cheese is better known there than any article pro duced in Oregon. San Francisco has been buying considerable cheese for storage the last few weeks and I sold some cheese while there. On the other hand, we want to stere a cer tain amount of June. July and Au gust cheese, and It was my idea to make financial arrangements to take care of the storage cheese that the trip was made. We made arrange ments to get what money we need at six per cent In Los Angeles. It all depends now at what price we figure safe to store. “Cheese prices have been advanced one cent, triplets now being 24 cents Tillamook, Longhorns and Young Americans, 25 cents. This makes a 26 cent Los Angeles price, and stor age cheese at this figure is more or less of a speculation, especially after shrinkage. Interest, storage and oth er charges are added.’’ The May report ot the Oregon as sociation work shows that «the Tilla mook association with 2442 cows got an average of 4 4.42 pounds of fat per ocw. This is a higher yield than any ever before made by an association herd in Oregon, says E. B. Fitts. O. A. C. and federal dairy field man. The Tillamook association Is the oldest in the state and has many good records back of it. It has recent ly absorbed the other two associa tions of the county and has abut three times the average number of cows per association. The best herd for May averaged 62.29 pounds of fat. The cows are all registered Guernseys owned by Edmunds and Fitzpatrick. The se cond best herd was only three hund redths of a pound behind. These cows are grade Jerseys owned by P. J. Sharp. The best cow in the association and in any association in Oregon was ’’Pet,’’ a grade Jersey owned by J. C. George. Her record for May was 114.62 .pounds of butterfat. The average milk yield of the 2442 cows was 1099—call it 1100 for luck —probobly more than their body weight In a single month. The newest association in Oregon, Columbia county, reports 375 cows averaged 30.82 pounds of fat from 767 pounds of milk for the month. The best cow gave 71.56 pounds of fat. There are 36 herds in the as sociation. and every owner has pro vided bis herd with a pure-bred sire. Jack Widows of Rainier Is secretary and A. W. Loy, tester.

INCREASE OF CERTAIN CLASS OF FIRES RECENTLY IS LAID TO USE OF EXTENSIONS ON BRICK FLUES As a warning to property owners of the city who are in danger of fire during the dry weather that has been experienced lately, Fire Chief Coates yesterday issued a condemnation of the tin extensions used on top of brick chimneys about the city. Chief Coates said that up to re cently that the city had had but two roof fires In four months, but this summer there has been four roof fires within two weeks and two within an hour. All these were caus ed by the same reason, says Chief Coatee- The fire expert stated that the tin pipes that were sometimes used to extend the regular brick chimneys tn residences, and also in business houses, have a habit of becoming full of creosote through burning the slab wpod that is used so uiuciF uer«. and that somtime* this accumulation will catch fire. The tin cover that Is fixed to the top of the pipe acta as a deflector when the creosote fire starts and throws this hot burning creosote down on the roof, setting it afire. Sme times it has been found that this storage of creosote catches fire when there is very little fire In the stove below. Authority to burn trash may be had by getting permission from the Fire chief or one of his deputies at the city hall. Without this permit anyone burning trash may be appre hended and made to pay a fine. The object of this is to know who Is doing the burning and where the fire is being set out. It must be necessary to fix responsibility in case the fire got away. Chief Coates expects to attend the State Fire Chief’s convention at Marshfield next w«ek and will leave the city about Wednesday for that purpose. •, Tillamook, July 4th TILLAMOOK COW’S RECORD DISLACED BY ANOTHER ONE Chicago, Ill.
