BOXING EVENT
PLEASES MANY
JUNE CHEESE
SHOWS GAIN
PROTEST MOVING
The Tillamook boxing commission
held another set of bouts at the
city hall on the evening of July 3d.
The largest crowd ever seen at one
of the fights was present.
The first bout was between Bat
tling Martin and Billy Ryan for four
rounds. It did not last the alloted
time, however, for Martin was out
in the first round.
Ed Hallowell of Brighton camp 4
versus Chic Dillio of Garibaldi re-
suited in a draw-, Both men made
a game fight. Dillio injured his
hand during the fight.
Abe Gordon of Portland versus
Jimmy Anderson of Tillamook was
the third, with a knockout against
Anderson.
The main event was between Jay
Houser of Wheeler and Earl Snyder
of Corvallis. Houser lost by a foul.
An announcement that will be
cheerfully received by the dairy
men of this county was made at the
monthly meeting of the association
on Wednesday. Those who have
lamented the poor condition of grass
this year, and the resultant feed
bills, will be gratified to know that
the sales of Tillamook cheese in
June were $223,000, compared with
$181,000 in June, 1921. This is an
increase of $42,000 in income over
last year for the one month, de-
spite the fact that the yield was
13,295 boxes as compared with 13,-
672 in June of last year. Divided
among the 750 members of the as
sociation, this is $56 apiece.
Last year at this time, the price
of Tillamook cheese was 19c and
now’ the quotation is 25c f. o. b. This
is a clear premium of several cents
above what Wisconsin cheese can
be landed at Pacific coast markets,
and indicates the splendid market
which existst for Tillamook. Sec
retary-manager Carl Haberlach, on
his recent trip to California, found
the big buyers willin gto buy Tilla
mook at 25c for storage purposes,
ie sold 5,000 cases while on this
trip.
Recently the buyer for a large
grocery chain store concern in Cali-
fornia, made the statement that dur
ing the late winter, when he was
unable to secure enough Tillamook
for his trade, the retail sale of
cheese fell off seventy per cent.
Portland newspapers, in commenting
on the recent advance of one cent In
the price of Tillamook, made the
statement that cheese prices in Wls-
consin and other sections did not
justify an advance but states that
“as long as Tillamook had a de-
mand with the consumer, they could
get the price”.
Inspector Fred Christiansen in
his report to the association, gives
warning that now, with haying
season coming on, the dairymen
should not neglect me nandling of
their milk, retaining the same care
in sterilizing of cans, utensils, etc.
It is the time of year when seconds
can easily result. If the milk Is not
carefully handled, and as everyone
knows, seconds mean a direct loss in
the price received of about fifty per
cent. “One thing that is vital to
the price received, and the demand
that has been created for Tillamook
cheese, is "quality,” says Inspector
Christiansen. "And when the pub
lic has been educated to expect
quality in a product, they quickly
detect a lack of it, or a lowering
of the standard they have learned
to expect”.

SEVERAL THOUSANDS
VISIT OUR BEACHES
.. Several thousand people spent
their Fourth of July vacation on the
Tillamook beaches and along the
mountain streams. Two representa
tives of the Headlight on a trip to
Portland last Saturday counted 329
motor vehicles near Sheridan in one
hour headed for the coast. Of this
number 101 were Fords. On the re
turn trip Sunday night camp fires
gleamed at every available camping
spot along Three rivers.. Another
party reports counting 2000 cars
along the beaches between Bar View
and Rockaway.
SUPT. TURNBULL AD
DRESS SCHOOL MEET
(Cecile Bennett for Headlight)
Supt. L. W. Turnbull, of the Til
lamook schools gave an address on
the “Desirable Re-Organization of
Teachers' Institute’’ at the State
Conference of Superintendents and
Principals.
"Most teachers are in favor of re
taining the present institute” he
said. Questionnaires on the present
institute system, in regard to atten
dance, purpose, faults and sugges
tions for improvements, he reported,
were sent to Oregon teachers. In
answer to these questions it was said
that many of the institutes w*ere
poorly organized and did not help
the teacher. Suggestions were made
that more funds.would insure better
programs and better co-operation
on the part of Superintendents,
Principals and teachers would make
the institutes successful.
Supt. G. W. Ager, of Bend, in the
discussion that follow'ed, said that
the institute was a means of direct-
ing the attention of the teachers to
the important phases of the profes-
sion and as such was. worth all that
it costs. He suggested that some
credit or recognition be given
the work done in institutes.
Dean H. D. Sheldon, of the School
of Education, pointed out that the
institute served to encourage and
give confidence to new teachers. The
state is able to explain it’s educa
tional policies through the institute
and thus gain the support of the
teachers. In closing he said that
much of the criticism of the system
came from the idea of compulsory
attendance and that this criticism
could be lessened if the teachers
had more ’say so’ in the matter.
NO POSITIVE
STATEMENTS
IS
SUED— SURVEY FOLLOWS OLD
S. P. & S.—COMPLETED WITHIN
35 MILES OF HERE NOW.
Tillamook people were set agog
Saturday to learn that a large sur
veying party of seventeen men un
der the leadership of W. H. Bell
had arrived in the county to make
camp near the Sutton place on Wil
son river.
Positive statements are taboo, was
the statement issued by Mr. Bell,
but it is thought that the work of
the engineers must mean something
definite regarding the long looked-
for railroad by the way of the Wil
son river pass. The survey is being
made by the Great Northern inter
ests and appears to be following the
old survev of the S. P. & S.
The Gales Creek & Wilson river
railroad, which was taken over
some time ago by larger interests,
is now completed to Aagaard, a set
tlement west of Gales creek, and
within thirty-five miles of Tilla
mook. This last stretch, however,
is thought to be quite a difficult
part to construct. The completion
of the Wilson river road would
make the distance from Portland to
Tillamook seventy-five miles as a-
gainst one hundred and twenty-two
as now traveled.
The small distance to complete
the road and the fact that the tim
ber on the mountains east of the
city must be moved in the near fu
ture in order to save it conduces
.the opinion that work on the Tilla
mook end o£ the line will start be-
fore long
Mr. Bell is the father of Mrs.
Stanley Coates and is well known in
this vicinity, having engineered for
the county and also for the P. R.
& N. when that road was built here.
