health resorts.
present site of the Sound metropolis,
with very few white settlers in the
country.
The Swanee made several cruises
from Esquimault, B. C., using the
British harbor as a base, but did not
discover the Shenandoah, for the rea
son that that ship had sailed around
the Horn for Southern United States
ports, then in the hands of the Con
federates, while the Swanee was
north looking for her. Mr. Downs
thinks that in case the two vessels
had met, the Swanee would have cap
tured or sunk the other, as the rebel
privateer was a wooden vessel and
had no steel armor of any kind. And
besides, the 100 pound Parrots were
then considered bad medicine in a
naval fight. After serving on the
Swanee for about a year, Downs was
discharged in San Francisco. He then
went back up in Washington, where
he followed the old time logging
game, later going to and remaining
in the Mendocino, California, redwood
forests for fourteen years. Mr. Downs
followed the logging business in this
county for many years, when bull
teams did the snaking, and of course,
is not so familiar with modern lag
ging. His home, for many years was
two miles east of town.
In 1891 Mr. Downs was married to
Mary Susan Morgan, a daughter of
Dr. Gideon Davidson, one of the early
day physicians of the Tillamook sec
tion. Her parents were pioneers of
the Applegate section in Jackson
county, southern Oregon. No child
ren resulted from the union, and in
1902, Mrs. Downs died. Should he
survive until that time, Sam Downs
will tie 80 years of age on the 5th
day of July next year. He is still
physically a mighty good man, and is
well esteemed by his many acquaint
ances in this county. Outside his sis
ter, he has no immediate relatives,
but there are several nephews and
niece- up in Chehalis, Wash., whom
he iKcasionally yioit.-. He calls Till
amook his home; and like all old time
Tillamookers, is bound here by that
indefinable something, that gets in
the blood, and like a magnet, attracts
and causes people to stay. One thing
that is almost amazing to Mr. Downs,
is the progress that Tillamook has
made since he came to it 44 years
ago, when it was a little straggling
village; and when out beyond the mud
roads, lay another world, to which
visits were few and far between on
the part of most of the old settlers.
But memory of those old conditions
does not prevent the old pioneer from
enjoying the rapid transit methods
now in vogue.
Monday afternoon 2:30, November
19, will occur the District K. P. Con
vention at the K. P. hall Tillamook
and Clatsop counties will take part.—

PHYSICIAN PLEADS
FOR CHILD HEALTH
(By Frederick D. Stricker, M. D.)
Man has too ’«ng considered him
self a special creation, not a part of
nature, but in some way different
from, superior to all other life. Man
is just as much a part of nature as
a horse or an elephant, and is equally
subject to nature’s laws. The stock [
grower has long learned the lesson
that it is bad business to mix the
healthy animals with the ones that
are diseased. In spite of this well
known fact many of our schools are
still the incubators of disease. This
is due to the fact that some parents
insist on sending sick children to
school and the teacher does not recog
nize the serious consequences of ol-
lowing an unwell child to attend.
When in doubt do not send the
child to school. Al) questionable cas
es should be referred to the Health
Officer. The best investment a coun
ty can make is a full time health
unit which will insure the proper in
vestigation -i all suspicious cases.
Parents and teachers an do much |
K>k for a bigRcr and better fair
year at the new fair grounds.

“Cleanliness is next to Godliness” has been re
peated so often that it has become the by word
of the American housewife of today. She dotes
on a clean kitchen and ks spic and span appear
ance is her pride and joy.
To keep a kitchen clean and bright with the
old kind of kitchen equipment means drudg
ery—it means many hours of the day spent in
unnecessary work.
Wherever Electric Ranges were installed
kitchen drudgery was eliminated, the kitchen
took on a new appearance and stayed that way.
Food tastes better, less time is wasted and ec
onomical results spell success in hundreds of
homes where Electric Ranges are used.
Let us tell you about the many labor saving
conveniences and comforts that you can have
by using an Electric Range.

to lessen infection if they will observe
and follow a few simple rules. A
child should not he sent to school, or
should be excluded from school:
Who has an acute cold. W ho has
a fever. Who is broken out with
rash. Who has a sputum raising
cough. Who has a swelling of the
neck or face. Who cannot eat on ac
count of illness. Who is nauseated,
dizzy, or faint. Who has red or
weeping eyes. Who lives in a home
that is quarantined.
A wise parent will make certain
that a child that has iccently had an
acute attack of contagious disease
will not return to school until such
contagion has fully cleared. To send
a child to school when not fully re
covered, not only may be an addition
al risk to the child, but is a great
wrong to other children, who may be
infected and seriously injured by con
tact with such a case.
Let parents and teachers cooperate
in making our schools not only insti
tutions of learning, but diffusers of
health instead of spreaders of diseast.
