paper, naturally they want to know
why, and they have a right to know.
Usually, when people seek to hide the
'news, there ts some ulterior motive
for doing it, and that is just what the
Headlight wants the people to know.
If it is some one’s private and person­
al business, that is another matter.
The Headlight is not a snoop. All it
wants is the legitimate news of the
city and county,, and that it will have,
whether or no, if it can get it. If it is
withheld the people are going to know

followed the big fire. The trees seem­
ed vigorous snd are making a fine
growth, without any effort at art­
ificial reforestaton. In section 10, T 1
N, 8 west, he estimated that there
were 25,000 seedlings of hemlock, and
at least 5,000 of fir to the acre.
Mr. Gilbert, while in this city, em­
phasized the need of thorough fire
protection, as young growths of for­
est trees would be obliterated by a
sweeping fire. Fire fighting is now
the great problem with timber owners.
Millions are tied up in big timber
tracts, and the world needs the lumber
as never before, and protection from
fire is an expensive item, nnd tax
es are heavy, so that the timber own
er is uncertain us to future profits.
A general fire in hot weather is liable
to wipe out all the holdings of a com
pany in a few hours. Transportior.
is another big queston. The great
need is a railroad down the Wilson
river. Had the United Railway com
pany taken advantage of its right of
way with the timber companies along
the Wilson liver, a was expected,
much of the timber could have been
saved.
In the meantime, the timber owners,
must keep fire organizations busy, and
wuit for transportation, where timle. r
is too far from transportation facil
ities.

except for an occasional steep pitch
was not bad. Engineer Hobbs and his
party, who are making a survey of
the proposed line, were found in the

Namer camp. But a few days will be
required to complete the work in the
mountains and after completing some
work near the Aagurd road the party
will probably move south and take up

The dairymen who raise their own
feed have harvested a heavy crop of
oat hay this year, which will greatly
reduce the quality of hay to be ship­
ped into the country the coming fall
and winter. It is estimated that near-
ly700 cars of hay were shipped into
L. D. Krake and family motored to Tillamook county last fall and winter
Tillamook last Saturday afternoon for and us a result of the large quantity
a week-end visit with relatives in the of hay raised here this year less than
coast city. There they will join other
members of the family tree whom
they have not seen for some 15 years
and these they expect to bring back
to Dayton the first of the week for a
further visit with other relatives in
this vicinty.— Dayton item in Mc­

200 cars will be sufficient the coming
season, being a saving of nearly 500
cars of hay to the dairymen who do
not raise sufficient hay for their dairy
herds.
While farmers in other sections are
complaining about low prices the dair
men of Tilamook county have been re­
ceiving high prices for their product
and with ideal weather since early fall
combined with a bumper hay crop and
the largest flow of milk ever recorded
in the county, the dairymen are better
fixed than farmers in other sections.
