NEARLY ONE HUNDRED INDUS
TRIAL. POWER FARMING AND
COMMERCIAL APPLIANCES TO
BE SHOWN; HERE SEPT. 9TH.
The Ford and Fordson power ex
position, more widely known per
haps. as the “Ford Caravan” will
visit Tillamook Saturday, September
9, for one day only, bringing here
an attraction said to represent a
property investment of one hundred
thousand dollars and a daily operat-
ing cost of more than $500.00.
Associated with the Ford Motor
company and one hundred Ford,
Fordson and Lincoln dealers in the
territory of the Portland branch,
are a dozen or more of America’s
power farming, industrial and com
mercial automotive appliances. But
for a combination of such powerful
interests, it would be impossible to
cover so great an area with an ex-
Libit of the magnitude of the Ford
caravan.
While the caravan is generally re-
garded in the light of a traveling
demonstration of power farming
equipment, the outfit is in reality
an exposition of virtually every
phase of the whole automotive in
dustry. In all, there are about one
hundred pieces of industrial equip
ment. There are twenty-six trucks
and tractors, each proceeding under
its own power and hauling or car
rying additional tools, machines and
implements.
There are several
Trailmobiles of various capacity,
trucks equipped with the Lee line of
contractors’ dump bodies, the Her
culis commercial bodies for com-
ni i iai hauling aud deliveries, and

Thirty-five skilled

perts accompany the caravan. Aside
from the usual demonstrations form
ing a part of the general program,
special demonstrations have been
given all along the line. Should a
visitor be interested in some epuip-
nient not specifically mentioned in
the program, he may upon request,
obtain a special demonstration free
of charge. There are, for example,
a number of specialties such as the
binder hitch, release device, trailer
attachments, rubber wheels I for

able for demonstration.
DIES SUDDENLY
The sudden Mid unexpected death
of Louie Wooley came as a great
shock to all his friends in Tillamook
county. Having lived all his life in
this county he was well and favor
ably known all over the county. H1S
father and mother settled in Hem
lock more than thirty years ago and
and lived there since that time. His
father died only about a month ago
and his mother a few years ago.
He leaves to mourn his untimely
ueath his one sister, Mrs. Thomas B.
Watt, of Brighton and his three
brothers, Emile M., Charles C., and
Magnus R., all of Tillamook.
During the war he became a mem
ber of the 10th Company Coast Ar
tillery in which company he served
until he was honorably discharged
on account of illness. He was a
member of the Beaver lodge of Odd
Fellows and always lived the high

He died from the effect of an op

the hospital at McMinnville.
He was buried at Beaver on

LIGHTING COMPANY WIRING
OVER ONE HOUSE A DAY
As evidence of the building activ
ity in Tillamook is the report of the
Coast Power company that the de
mand for electric service is greater
at this time than any other period
in their business. The extension
department is wiring an average of
over one house per day. People are
making applications for extensions
of service on all sides. The Coast
iwer company has irttide arrange
ments with the Whitney mill plant
■ i work together and the demanu
for service is so great that the line
between Tillamook and Garibaldi is
to be rebuilt, giving this line an !n-
creased capacity of three times its
present one.
CAMP FOUR BURGLARIZED
Some of the boys coming in late
Saturday night at Camp 4 heard a
disturbance in the store building,
and on Investgating, three men ran
from the building, climbed into an
auto and made their escape.
On

PICTURE MOST WONDERFUL ONE
EVER FILMED; FREE TO FAIR

COMING; GIRL TO PERFORM-
r
People who made the request to
the Fair Board to show the Birth,
of a Nation, a photo play, will be
pleased to learn that the Fair Board
has succeeded in securing this pic
ture for one evening only.
This picture will be shown by
the Gem Theatre of this city free on
the evening of Wednesday, Septem-
ber 13th. It was impossible to get
the play for any longer period due
to the many engagements the ow
ners have booked ahead. It is a
three hour picture and the entire
evening will be devoted to the run
ning of it.
The “Birth of a Nation” does not
need any advertisement. Critics say
that without exageration it is the
most wonderful picture that has
ever been produced. It dates back
to the old days of the civil war,
during the reconstruction period. It
cost $500,000 to put the film on the
market.
The Fair Board feels ! that they
were real fortunate in s securing this
picture for the people ' of Tillamook
to see without charge.
Yciterday the Fair Board closed
a contract with Ge«^ C. Dye of
Portland for an aeroplane during
fair week, Lt. B. U. Ayres is the
pilo tof the machine to come here
while Miss Alma Saylors of the Ir
ving Flying Circus will perform in
the air. These stunts will consist of
wing walking, parachute jumping,
suspending from a trapeze by her
teeth, etc., and the performance will
last about 25. minutes. These will
be on Wednesday and Thursday at
one o’clock of fair week.
A spectacular fire last Monday
evening about seven o’clock de
stroyed the big dairy barn on the
old Elmore dairy farm one mile
northwest of Tillamook. The sky
was lighted up for miles around and
hundreds of people visited the scene
of the tire.
There was about one hundred
tons of hay in the barn, part of It
being clover, which very likely
heated causing the fire, The farm
is owned by A. G. Beals, who car
ried $1300 insurance on the barn.
Andrew Vetch has the place rented
and carried $2000 on the hay which
"as about two-thrids the value of
the contents of the barn. He had
just taken out an additional policy.
Mr. Vetch stated to a Headlight
representative who visited the scene
of the fire soon after it started, that
he had only ilnished milking a few
minutes before the fire started and
had turned the cows, numbering
about sixty head, out in the pasture
for the night. Besides the hay loss
there was considerable equipment
necessary with a dairy.
Clark Hadley kindly offered use
of one of his big dairy barns to Mr.
Vetch which will be used until new
quarters can be constructed. Parties
seeing the hay before it was put in
the barn state that it was well
cured and dry, but clover is very
bad to heat.
Mr. Vetch stated that his oat hay
was all ready to put in the barn
which he had planned to do at
once.
Excavation of the basement for
the Goy ne block was finished the
first of the week and the pouring
of cement in the basement founda
tion forms has started.

the recommendation of the local in
spector and Postmaster Foster. This
was turned down, and the depart
ment called for bids to carry the
mail by auto stage from Portland
to Tillamook, but owing to the bids
being too high, the department ad
vised the Chamber of Commerce that
it was too expensive. Since then
several efforts have been made to
have the original recommendation
acted upon, but for some reason the
proposition was turned down, not
withstanding that each member of
the Oregon delegation had made an
effort to have the route established.
Not being satisfied, and feeling that
Tillamook city was justly entitled io
better mail service, Fred C. Baker
wrote a personal letter to Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General H. H.
Bellany, fully explaining the mail
situation here. This immediately
brought a reply from Mr. Bellany
advising the Chamber of Commerce
that bids would be called for for a
mail route between Willamina dnd
Tillamook, as first recommended by
the Chamber and Postmaster Fost<?r.
The postal department has just
awarded the contract to John Jenck
for $5.608 Per annum, on a six day
schedule. Instead of leaving Willa

extended to Grand Ronde, the new
route will be from that place to Til

LOGANBERRY EXPERIMENT
PROVES VERY SUCCESSFUL
Three years ago W. J. Riechers
of the First National bank and
Al Bunn planted 15 acres of logan
berries on what is locally known
as prairie land, considered the poor
est land In the county, by way of
experiment, to determine whether
that kind of land was more suitable
for raising berries than for dairy
ing.
The experiment proved highly suc
cessful, as the yield from the 15
acres this year will be 28 tons by
the time the picking is finished.
Last spring was the dryest the coun
ty had seen for 40 years and the
yield probably would have been
much larger had the usual rains pre
vailed. Cannery men in* other parti
of Oregon seem to think that the
coast counties are ideal for raising
loganberries, stating that the logans
raised in Tillamook county this year
were worth a cent a pound more
than those raised in other places.
Mr? Bunn had had some experience
in raising loganberries in the neigh
borhood of Beaver.

FLOATING
DOWN STREAM; BODY.FOUND
IN SEVENTY-FEET OF WATER
Walter W. Hunt, coffee expert
with W. G. Tucker, merchandise
broker of Portland, was drown last
Saturday afternoon in the Wilson
river.
Mr. Hunt in company with
J. A. Bradley, manager of the cof
fee department of Lang & Co., came
over from Portland Saturday to
spend the week end fishing, and
went up to the old Harris place,
where they were joined by Bert
Thayer the fire warden and fished
up till about 1:20 p. tn. at the Nar
rows, and then Bradley and Thayer
went down the river about a quar
ter of a mile, and about three thir
ty Mr. Hunt’s hat was seen floating
down the river. They at once went
back to the narrows where they
had left Hunt and could find
trace of. him. They returned
camp and called up the sheriff’s
fice who asked for a party to go
and drag the river for the body
Sunday morning Chester Holden,
I. N. Martindale, Fped Ringle and
E. V. Snodgrass, with equipment for
locating the body left for the scene
of the. drowning and arrived there
about nine o’clock, where they were
joined by Bert Thayer and a num
ber of others who were at the camp
of the railroad surveyors,
The grappling hooks of the coun-
ty and the Headlight office were
then put into action and at eleven
o’clock Andrew S. Thomas, who was
trowling with the Headlight equip
ment hooked onto the body at a
depth of about seventy-five feet of
water and about fifteen feet back t:a

body was taken to camp and the
cor ner was «^Jled.
He arrived
about twelve-thirty and brought the
body to Tillamook and shipped it
to Portland Monday morning.
It was feared that It would be
necessary to put in a blast to raise
the body, so Sheriff Aschim got a
permit from the fish commission for
such action and I. N. Martindale,
a powder expert, and local repre
sentative of the Trojan
powder,
volunteered to furnish the powder
and perform the job, but it was not
necessary to use powder.
Mr. Hunt was twenty-eight years
old, a member of American Legion
Post No. 1, the 100 percent club, and
Masonic Lodge, Washington No. 46,
all of Portland. His mother lives
at Spokane and also •
a sister,
brother lives in California.
Hunt and Mr. Bradley had been
very close friends for a number of
years.
No one witnessed the accident,
but from a bruise found on the
head it is thought that he tried to
jump from one rock to another, his
feet slipping, causing him to strike
his head on the rocks which dazed
him and he fell into the water, as
he was a good swimmer. His watch
in his pocket stopped at 1:30. so the
accident must have happened soon
after his companions went down
stream.

It is very puzzling just
how the fire started, as the janitor
left the building only a few min-

was no sign of a iflre. It is thot
that is might have started from
