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 reader, much leisure time is spent in reading books, papers and maga­ zines, and as a rule they are well in­ 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 -r— Art Memorial Works M c M innville » A big difference There*« a big difference in motor oils, io t of them are by-products from gaso- nc manufacture.

Ox«»» iWiñiñiffiRl Erwin Harrison, Prop 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.
