THIS ISSUE 12 PAGES JUNE IS EXPECTED TO 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. interests.

Mr. Lamb states that business seems to be good in both states he visited. Crops also look good in most of the sections of the Northwest visited by Mr. 1-amb and good yields are looked for by wheat farmers and others. “But on MRS.

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.

In some instances building 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 portion of the entire camp, though there is an entire division here. What the next twelve days will bring forth is still somewhat a myj. tery, for though a training .- • !ule was issued before camp, this armj is living up to its reputatili:: anu the original schedule has been entirely changed according to reports from au thority. However the Tillamook men are doing themselves proud and will doubtless be able to give a good sc- count of themselves when the time comes.
