The Land of Cheese, Trees and Ocean Breeze On the Roosevelt Memorial Coast Highwa^ Iraiilitjljt filiamo® Tillamook, Oregon/ Friday, July 7th, 1922 VOL 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”.

The entire plan was originated by W. H. Goodwin. Portland branch manager of the Ford Motor Com­ pany. who staged a similar project in Western Washington a year ago. That attraction proved so highly interesting to farmer, contractors, engineers and business men that requests for a similar tour have come in from hundreds of points Northwest, throughout the entire and it is in compliance with so widespread a desire that the various manufacturers and distributors are putting on an entirely new indus­ trial nd power farming tour In Oregon this year.

SIGNERS OF NATIONAL GUARD ROLL ASKED TO REPORT SOON J. E. Shearer has requested that all those who signed the roll for the national guard company report to him at his office for physical ex­ amination as soon as possible. The records must be completed within the next few days. 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. LOCAL PEOPLE UNITED IN MARRIAGE LAST WEEK The marriage of Walter F. Nich­ ols, 46 and Jessie L. Streeter, 25, was solemnized at the parsonage of the Centeny church in Portland on June 10th. Rev. Chas. McCoughey performed the ceremony.

France, 19, were united in mar­ riage by Justice of the Peace Stan­ ley on June 29th. James R. Thompson. 63 and Na­ omi Reynolds, 68. were married last week at the home of Frank Reynolds. Rev. C. L. Dark per­ formed the ceremony. TY —SEVEN OREGON COUN­ TIES REPRESENTED—$600,000 CONTRACT AWARDED. A party of Tillamook men left to­ day to attend the meeting of the Roosevelt Highway Association and the Redwood Highway Association at Crescent Cfty, California. Those who composed the party were F. C. Baker, H. T. Botts, H. M. Farmer, H. V. Alley and Rollie Watson. The seven coast counties of Ore­ gon and the seven coast counties of California will send delegates to the meeting at Crescent City and the object of this convention is to pro­ mote the building of the two great highways that will traverse the coats of the two staates. The Oregon part of the work is already started. The contracts have been let- for considerable work in Tillamook and Lincoln counties. The contract for the Neskowin-Dev- Il’s lake project was let on June 23 and will entail an expenditure of $600,000. This will be paid for by the national government. ATTRACTIVE WINDOW DISPLAY The King-Crenshaw store have a very attractive window this week, especially to the followers of Isaac Walton. A small aquarium has been placed in the Window and some eigh­ teen or twenty fine specimens of the salmon trout have ’been placed therei ■ in along with a few crawdads. The display U attracting much attention NATIONAL GUARD COMPANY NEARLY READY FOR MUSTER Word has been received that the 2\djutant-General will send a man to Tillamook Monday for the purpose of preparing the men for the new unit of national guard that will be formed here.
