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.
