MANNERS OF LOGGERS
DEEP SEA FISHING
DEFENDED BYONE
PROVES PROFITABLE
"Many people in the cities,” said
the rigger as he lighted his pipe in a
local hotel, “have the idea that a
logger is a species of human animal
without intelligence or education, and
that he is wildly uncouth in his man
ners. I belong to the younger gener
ation of woodsmen, and got a high
school education before I took to the
woods to earn an honest livelihood. 1
was amused the other day to read an
article from the wife of a camp boss
in a Portland paper, in which she stat
ed that ‘most of the loggers ate with
their knives and were terribly un
couth.' 1 have been working in the
woods in various parts of the United
States for about 15 years, und during
that period 1 never saw but two log
gers who carried their food to their
mouths with a knife. And as for
manners, table and otherwise, I be
lieve they arc in a class with most
of the other common people. I have
found college graduates, und even po
ets und philosophers, working in the
woods, und men who were as refined
as one would find anywhere. But they
were not gifted in making money easy
and preferred to work for a living
and thus be independent of relatives
and others.
"The average woods worker is u

An inquiry rin a local fish market
one day this week brought out the
fact that all of the deep seu fish,
with the exception of salmon, came
from Portlund and Puget Sound. The
consumption of deep sea fish during
the year in this county is considerable
and the thought arose why would it
not be a good paying investment for
Ti^amook fishermen to form a com
pany, purchase a good boat for the
purpose, and equip it with an ice mak
ing plant, engaging in deep sea fish
ing off the Tillamook coast? It is
said that a boat would cost about
$15,00G thus equipped, and at the
present price of fish, with ordinary
good luck in taking fish, the venture
should not have much hazard. A lo
cal fish dealer here stated that the
experiment had been tried several
times in the past, and that in each
case was discontinued, but fish bring
a much greater price than when those
experiments were tried, and the de
mand is twice greater. Not only
could a ready market be had in this
county, but all of the surplus would
find a ready market in Portland and
other interior cities. Because a prop
osition of the kind failed ten years
ago, is no proof that if rightly man
aged it would fail as to compensation
now when both demand and price are

The children would do well to have a quart

the protein foods.”

greater. It seems too bad from a
commercial angle to bring all of our
deep sea fish over here from an inter
ior city, when Tillamook is so close to
the ocean, with a good bar and bay
handy.
It is believed that cod banks lie
not far off the Tillamook coast and a
small staunch vessel, equipped with
its own ice plant could go out and
stay till the hold was filled with good
marketable fish. Yaquina bay people
have hud quite a fleet of little Ashing
boats in the past and so far as is
known they are still in operation,
and at pre war prices, it was under-
stood that the boats were making
money. With an increased demand
for deep sea fish and a greater price
than formerly, it sems that such a
scheme for Tillamook bay fishermen
should be rewarded with success.
TILLAMOOK FAMOUS
AS “FLOWER” CITY
Tillamook is famous for its beauti
ful dahlias and has been named the
Dahlia City by summer tourists, who
have been struck with the profusion
of these fine flowers along the main
city streets and the tribute to that
flower has not been undeserved; for
nowhere do they grow in such
strength and beauty. But there are
other varieties of the flower family
to be reckoned with hehe in addition
to the dahlia. Some of the most beau
tiful flowers that have ever been seen
consist of narcissus and tulips, which
seem to grow to their greatest per
fection here, like the dahlia. One has
but to walk around through the resi
dence section of this city to be con
vinced that the narcissus and tulip
are very close competitors of the
dahlia for public favor. A display
of tulips in the First National bank
this week has attracted the attention
of many people who love flowers and
excited much favorable comment up
on our fine climate. Nature is the
great artist, and all others are imi
tators only. Some one has said that
unseen nature spirits are ever busy
creating and improving beautiful
flowers, and while the statement can
not be proved by human sight and
reason, there evidently is some artis
tic force at work in nature beautify
ing the world; and yet how many peo
ple pass by these beautiful works of
an unseen artistic hand without see
ing their beauty in the flowering sea
son. The flower kingdom seems not
to be affected by general mundane
matters, and if the climatic conditions
are favorable and the seasons kind,
they never vary in their profusion of
gorgeous bloom and fragrance.
MANY NEW HOUSES
ARE BEING BUILT
Tillamook is forging ahead in the
matter of new residence buildings and
contractors say that there will be a
substantial building program for the
present year. A number of residents
are figuring on building new homes
and there is appended a list of resi
dences already under construction, or
for which foundation work is being
done.
R. T. Boals new residence on Fourth
avenue east and Sixth street. This
will be one of the fine residences of
the city when completed.
H. A. Franklin is preparing to
erect a new residence on Eighth st.
which will cost in the neighborhood
of $5,000.
Lee Doty has just completed a nice
little cottage on Stillwell avenue,
which adds a new unit to the com-
munity.
Verner Michaels has just complet-
ed a new bungalow on Ninth street,
which has cost about $2200.
It is understood that W. B. Alder
man has in contemplation the erec
tion of a new residence at the corner
of Sixth street and Second avenue
this summer.
S. A. Moulton has just finished a
new bungalow on his lots in this city
and another one is in process of con
struction.
DRAINAGE SYSTEM
TO BE INSTALLED
It is stated that Fairview district
No. 2 which was separated from dis
trict No. 1 last year, probably will
put in its drainage system this year,
which will cover a stretch of about
three miles and drain quite a teni-
tory of rich bottom land. Every ac
re of Tillamook bottom land that can
be drained means many more dairy
cows, more milk and more cheese.
