BE RECORD MONTH
The cheese production continues to
show increases at present. Milk re
ceipts are showing a considerable in
crease aver two weeks ago. The
Tillamook creamery is again getting
over 36,000 lbs. of milk per day and
the other factories in proportion.
This will mean a heavier .lune pro
duction than any June heretofore.
The cheese market 4s reported to
be in active condition. The associa
tion reported back orders on hand
to about 6000 boxee. Market remains
unchanged with Triplets selling at 27
cents Tillamook, Longhorns and 1-oaf
at 28 cents.
The milk checks for the May milk
will be out on the 9th of the month.
Butter fat prices will be higher than
during April but so far the associa
tion has made no definite estimate as
to what the butter fat price wifi be.

Away up on the Cedar creek station,
a man scans the country all summer
long and a fire has to be a very ob-
scure one and a mighty sudden one
to escape his keen vision.
All patrolmen will be out in the
woods by the first of July, states Mr.
McCowell.. Four men are now on Wil
son river, repairing telephone lines
and re-opening trails, There were
few fires in Tillamook county last
year, and they were soon snuffed out;
the one at Coates logging camp was
the worst but it was put out before
it spread much, Four or five fifes
were nipped in the bud and that was
about the total number for the sum-
mer.
Another lookout station is the Wol-
stet station at the end of the tele-
phone line on Wilson river; still an
other is the Harris station about 15
miles up the Wilson river; the last
and fourth station is the Rush station
eight miles up Wilson river. The
largest timber tracts in the county,
are said to be located along the Wil
son river, although there is also a big
body of timber south of the Trask
river. The Tillamook district hooks
on to the national forest reserve on
the south which is looked after by
Mr. Garwood, head ranger for thia
county whose home is at Hebo.
The Tillamook district extends nor-
thward as far as Brighton; from that
point northward, Wm. Batterson is
the warden, his territory extending
eastward up the Salmonberry, over
the county line into Washington coun
ty, and involving a lot of fine timber.
A. L. McCarthy of Nehalem, is the
county warden, with authority from
the county court and has charge of
that part of the county not within the
province of the Patrol association. A
number of men are em ployed by the
various fire preventative organiza-
tions in the county during the danger
periods, when a big fire means the
destruction of a wide area of valua
ble timber, if it should happen to get
away from the fire fighters and hence
night and day vigilance on the part
of the lookouts and the wardens is
the order of the day.

efforts are puny compared with the
amount of ground they would have t»

which have wholly or partially been
consumed by fire have just been left
in ruins as they were when the flamei
were put out. Such scenes spread the
impression of desolation. The parts
now occupied by troops is only a small

there is an entire division here.
