Months
With Green Pasture
An interview with Dr. J. N. Shaw,
county veterinarian, this week, brings
out the following points of interest
to the dairymen of this county:
In the past few years, a great ma
ny articles dealing with the subject
of mineral for stock have appeared in
leading farm papers of the nation,
and dairymen have been led to be
lieve that the question of mineral for
their stock is of some importance.
There can be no question as to the
importance of mineral as far as the
dairy cattle of this county are con
cerned, because of the investigations
carried on by some’of the investiga-
tods at our experiment stations, dis
« closing the need of the addition of a
mineral to the ration of dairy cows
in certain parts of the country. Com
mercial concerns have put on the mar
ket several products which are sup
posed to meet the needs of cattle
receiving a mineral deficiency in their
diet. Most of these products are fair
ly successful in their purpose, but
are rather expensive. The question
arises as to whether or not the cows
of Tillamook county really need a
mineral supplement. It is the opin
ion of the county veterinarian that
the cows of Tillamook county would
have fewer ailments, and would give
a greater quantity of milk, if a min
eral of the right kind could be added
to their rations. It is a known fact
that the soils of this county are quite
acid. This acidity is due to a lack
of mineral. If the mieeral is not
present in the soil, it cannot be pres
ent in the plant life. Some of our
hays are especially high in the es
sential minerals, especially alfalfa
and elover. Some of our cows in this
county have little opportunity to eat
alfalfa and clover hay, and depend
upon the native hay entirely. It has
been proven and is an oft quoted fact
that animals will die more quickly
on a mineral diet than they will if not
fed at all. Some of the conditions
which are thought to be indications
of a lack of mineral, so far as this
county is concerned, are:
First, paralysis. A great many
dairy cows become paralyzed before.
is
ot shortly after calving, This
thought to be due to the robbing of
the cow’s own tissues of the minerals
necessary for the structure of the new
individual.. Then again, we find high
producing cows who become lame and
etiff without any apparent cause. The
use of a mineral supplement is sup
posed to overcome a great many dis
eases that the diary cow suffers from.
The word “supposed” is used, because
it has not been definitely proven that
the above statement is a fact.
An effort has been made to determ
ine if possible, just what mineral
would be most practical for the cows
of Tillamook county. Letters were
written to Dr. E. B. Forbes, director

Mill Owners
A special meeting of the city coun
cil was called by the Mayor for last
Monday night, to consider petitions
to that body by outside sawmills pro
prietors who are shipping their pro
ducts outside on the Southern Paci
fic’s lines. The petitions were tender
ed by Sundquist & Norberg nad by J.
M. Weiss & Son, both firms operating
in the vicinity of Hemlock. Permis
sion was granted to Weiss & Son to
erect loading docks in front of Hin
er’s property, between Stillwell ave
nue and First Avenue east on First
street; permission was also granted
Sundquist & Norberg and A. M. Mat
lock for joint occupancy of First st.
between Stillwell avenue and First
Avenue west, in front of property
owned by the Southern Pacific com
pany and Henry Wolfe. It was under
stood by all concerned that should the
city at any time want possession, the
sawmill men were to vacate the docks
immediately. The granting of the
dockage accommodation will solve a
problem which has been bothering
outside sawmill firms for some time,
These mills are all operated to their
full capacity, and have added quite
a payroll to the county.
LOGGER ROBS FRIEND;
IS FINED BY COURT
Alfred Newlin, who quit a job at
one of the sawmills last Saturday, oc
cupied a room Saturday night with a
fellow logger named Mike Kanary.
Unlike the bird for which he was
named, Kanary was not up to meet
the sun, with a song in his bill, but
slept sound and late. Newlin, how
ever, was up early and frisked his
companion’s pocket taking $10 in cur
rency. He did not pause to say good
bye to his room mate, but quietly hit
the highway for the outside. In the
meantime Kanary awoke, but instead
of singing blithely, he turned, he
turned his pockets wrong side out and
swore, and then hunted up the sheriff
who overtook Newlin at Dolph. The
sheriff was accompanied by the bereft
Kanary, who identified the thief. As
they came up with Newlin, the lat
ter handed the $10 bill to Kanary,
w’ith the remark: “There’s your mon
ey, and I’m done with you.’ A fight
seemed imminent, but the sheriff in
terfered and took Newlin into custody
On Monday, Newlin pleaded guilty to
petit larceny and was fined $25 by
the justice of the peace and in lieu of
the required money, he is now enjoy
ing a life of lonely loafing in the
county jail.
Chester and William Bennett ap-
peared before the recorder pro tern,
one day the latter part of last week
and were fined for speeding on their
motorcycles within the city limits.
The former was fined $10 and the
latter $5.
NATIONAL GUARDSMEN
LEAVE HERE JUNE 15
Now that the time for the annual
camp of national guard troops of the
northwest is definitely decided, or
ders have been received chat all men
must attend thetraining period at
Camp Lewis from June 16 to 30 in
clusive. It will be necessary for the
Tillamook men to leave here on the
15th to be able to reach Camp Lewis
on time. Serious sickness or recent
death in the immediate family are
all that a member of the nati< nal
guard can be excused for.
A truck arrived this week from th?

RESOLUTION IS PASSED
County
To
Be
Canvassed
Before
Election In Favor Of
Oleo Measure
The county creamery association
met last Wednesday and discussed the
matter of the coming referendum on
the oleomargarine law, enacted by the
last legislature. It was evident from
the expression of sentiment on the
part of the association members that
there were no members who were for
the proposed referendum. After the
discussion had been made quite thor
ough, a resolution was read and unan
imously adopted, which fitly express
es the opinion of the creamery asso
ciation body. The resolution is as
follows:
“Resolved that the dairy industry
in Tillamook county will be material
ly benefitted by the law passed at
the last session of the Oregon legis
lature, should said law be allowed to
remain upon the statute books of the
state as passed.”
County Agent W. D. Pine was se
lected to see that the people of the
county are instructed as to the value
of the bill, now a law in this state.
Fred W. Christensen, local cheese in
spector, was requested to attend the
meetings to be held between now and
the day of election, and to explain
just why the dairymen of this county
should be interested in maintaining
the present law.
The thought was expressed at the
meeting, that a boost for the dairy
men of the Willamette valley is also
a boost for the dairy interests of this
county. It was stated that Tillamook
caunty is now competing with dairy
men who previously had engaged in
the manufacture of butter, but who
were forced out of business by the
importation of copra from the South
Sea Islands. This product was ren
ovated here and mixed with milk, and
sold generally as a substitute for
their butter.
The meeting expressed the hope
that every voter in this county would
attend the meetings when scheduled
and get thoroughly informed before
the time of election, and when con
vinced, as he should be, of the neces
sity for the law, to vote for the dairy
cow—the foster-mother of the world

Apparatus
The fire department has added a
long felt want in the matter of a hook
and ladder truck, making it possible
for the fire boys to transport the long
ladders and other needed paraphen-
alia to a fire practically at the same
time the engine arrives. The newly
equipped auto hook and ladder truck
will cost about $1,000. The chassis
was purchased with a donation to
the department by the Whitney Mill
company of Garibaldi of $500. The
superstructure cost approximately
$500 more, of which sum the county
gave $100 and the Ladies club $10, the
remainder of which is owing, but it
is expected that the picture, entitled
the “Third Alarm,,” which will be put
on at the local playhouse sometime in
June, will still further lessen the in
debtedness, as the proceeds over the
cost of production, ,will go to the fire
fund.
The chassis bed was lengthened to
160 inches which makes it about 13 1-2
feet long, so that the long ladders can
be quickly transported to a fire. These
big ladders are respectively 35 and
24 feet long, one being an extension;
also two roof ladders. The truck
will carry 750 feet of 2 1-2 inch hose,
and 200 feet of 1 1-2 inch hose, a life
net, and 2 1-2 gallon chemicals, axes,
etc.
Heretofore, these long ladders have
had to depend upon outside trucks
for transportation, and were often
slow in arriving upon a fire scene.
A number of houses are too high for
the ordinary
and the new
truck will greatly lessen the danger
of a destructive fire.
The department is not soliciting
subscriptions, but will not refuse such
donations if tendered, until the in
debtedness is wiped out.
Chief Coates stated one day this
week that efforts will be made to get
some gas masks but the department
will not depend upon city funds for
their purchase.
MAY CIRCUIT COURT
TO OPEN MONDAY
On next Monday, Judge Geo. R.
Bagley will convene circuit court here
for the handling of the court docket.
The docket is about the usual size. It
is expected that several applications
for citizenship will be heard at that
time, there being quite a class wait
ing for the examination. Several ap
plicants who failed at the last term,
will again try to pass the tests.

For Road Building
It is learned from F. J. Ayer,
supervisor of road district No. 2 that
work is progressing satisfactorily on
the roads contained in his district.
The thoroughfares of the county have
been kept in pretty good shape all
winter, with the exception of the Ne
tarts road, which gave trouble on ac
count of the old, worn out planking
which was originally laid upon the
ground, and as time passed the plank
ing gave way, causing the mud to
come through the boards, thus mak
ing the road in many places well nigh
impassible. Within the next ten days
however, the old planks will have
been taken up, and new 3x12, 10 foot
planks will be laid, and a foundation
also will be placed under the new
work, which should keep the new
road in good condition for many
years to come, and at the same time
furnish a good road at all times of
the year. It is estimated that it will
take close to 300,000 feet of lumber
to re-plank the stretch in the green
timber between the Tillamook river
and Netarts.
On the Bayocean road, the job of
pile driving, it is thought, will be
finished in about ten days. The driv
er is averaging about 20 piles a day,
and about 300 of these pilings have
been driven thus far this spring. Fol
lowing the work of sinking the piling,
will come the work of the dredger,
which will fill in about the piling. It
is thought that the dredge will be
gin operation about the last of the
present month. It will take another
season to finish the road through to
Bayocean, and it is believed that when
completed it will be one of the finest
and most substantial roads in the

much to the Bayocean section, as that
resort has been isolated from road
travel, ever since it sprang into ex-
istence as a resort.
On the Fall creek grade on the
Oceanside road, some good work has
been done in the matter of supply-
ing new hand rails and felloe-guards
on the canyon side of the road, which
will safeguard, it is believed, the

One “Good” Turn Deserves Another
Break The Law
When a man starts to plunk away
at sea lions over at Oceanside, he
should be careful to first find out
whether there are any United States
game wardens within hearing dis
tance of the gun with which the shoot
ing is done.
W. R. Purvine and wife were walk
ing along the beach, the former with
a gun. Coming toward the first nam
ed couple was United States Game
Warden, Ray C. Steele, who was ac
companied by his wife. When the
strollers were near to each other, Pur
vine raised his rifle and took several
ineffectual shots at sea lions that
were basking in the sun over on the
big rocks off shore, Steele came up,
and Purvine offered his gun to the
government man and asked him to
try his luck on the lions. Steele oblig
ingly took the gun, and then placed
Purvine under arrest on a charge of
shooting at sea lions on a federal
bird and animal preserve. He also
confiscated the gun, and Purvine prob
ably will have to explain matters in
a federal court at Portland.
1921 LIQUOR FINE
PAID UP RECENTLY
Nick Melchoir, who was convicted
of bootlegging in this county in 1921,
and who paid part of his fine at the
time of conviction, and who agreed to
pay the balance in certain install
ments, and who forgot or failed to
pay the said installments according
to agreement, and who kept away
from the county thereafter, appeared
here Tuesday, and was immediately
taken into custody by Sheriff Aschirn.
Melchoir, however, did not want any
jail life, so he paid the balance due
on his old fine, amounting to $151.10,
and was allowed to go on his way.
WAREHOUSE PLANS
ARE CONSIDERED
The proposed referendum of the
so-called “Oleo’ bill which was ad
opted by the last session of the leg
islature rceived attention from the
creamery association this week.
Plans lor warehouses to be used in
connection with the hay and grain
business of the association also wera
considered but no definite action wa
taken. James Williams, T. W. Lys
ter and Carl Haberlach were instruct
ed to present data covering sites and
costs for warehouse in the vicinity of
Tillamook and Charles McKillip, W.
A. Bell, Alex Fraser, F. L. Owens anil
Wm. Ward were continued as a com-
mittee to present information regard
ing the proposed warehouse in the
southern end of the county.
Secretary Carl Haberlach, who re
cently returned from a trip into Cal
ifornia, reported on his trip and said
that had the association expended
$10,1X1(1 for advertising in Isis Angel
es this spring, in addition to the reg
ular appropriation, all of the cheese
in storage would have been sold and it
would not have been necessary to re
duce the price to less than 25c. Thi
would have mennt that the ilairymen
of the county would hav ■ received be
tween $40,000 and $50,OtM) more than
they actually received.
The report of D. It. Tinnerstet re
garding conditions at the dairies thru-
out the county showed that pl eg res
is being made in bettering conditions.
NEW AUTOMOBILE
Suit Is Said To Be a Clever
Bit Of Propaganda By
Big Timber Owners
WILL LOWER TAX LEVY
$120,000
To Be Added To
Valuations
Timber
If Cruise Is
Consistent in County
M. J. Kinney vs. Tillamook County
is the title of a suit filed in the cir
cuit court this week, asking that the
Tillamook County Court be enjoined
from paying warrants to the amount
of $10,146.74, which were given to
M. G. Nease for cruising 40,000 ac
res of timber land.
People who are close to the matter
say that they believe the suit is a
clever bit of propaganda, staged by
the big timber owners in an effort to
frighten other counties away from a
cruise, and that it is not hoped to pre
vent this county from making good
the warrants issued for the cruise.
•to
For several years, it is said, the
larger timber owners have annually
appeared before the equalization
board here and have claimed re
ductions in their tax levies. Sometimes
it was on account of timber having
been killed by worms; other times the
reason given was that storms had
leveled a quantity of standing tim
ber; still other times fire was blam
ed for the destruction. The claims
had, in nearly all cases, been allow-
ed. Finally the county court decid-
ed that a reliable cruise had better
be instituted and two cruising com
panies, Thomas & Meservy and the
Nease Timber company, were given
contracts to cruise 40,000 acres each
at twenty-five cents per acre.
The result was that, following this
cruise, which was to cover the same
ground which had been devastated,
according to the timber men brought
to light that this body had always
been underestimated and that the
timber assessment on this particular
section was raised 42 per cent. Mr.
Nease made the statement that he
had never seen such an abundant
stand of timber, and that he could
hardly believe that trees could grow
so thick.
The success of the first undertaking
led the county court to ask for a fur
ther appropriation in the budget to
recruise other parts of the county and
$20,000 was allowed in the 1923 bud
get to cruise 800,000 acres. Then
came the injunction suit.
Those who have been close to the
matter since its inception say that
four other counties are watching the
progress of the cruise here, and that
these courts of these other counties
arc planning to cruise their own tim-
I ht lands. /hat is the reason, it is
said, that tne timber men are start
ing the suit here; to scare the other
counties out. So far as Tillamo'/k
county is concerned, prominent at
torneys have stated that trying such
a suit here is simply lost time; that
Tillamook county is entirely in its
rights i i having the tir.ber cruised.
These atloi nies claim that there is
nothing to prevent a county from hir-
■ mg any help that is deemed neces-
I sary to raise the values on the as
sessment lutes. Mr. Nease is so sure
that this is right thnt he is not tak
