The first time Downs ever saw Puget lias I thi i .panose earthquake h ihin.; i h< climate of this Sound was when the Swanee steamed i : [ h i .pie say it has, in and anchored near where Seattle tI k ■> il L attires of this now stands. At that time there was |ty in tin a. ai luturr min turn an Indian village on a portion of the I -s am! chi'-se to palm trees 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.— adv. 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. ■ ' " i* ____ ! TOU CAN BROIL WITHOUT SMOKE KS tuoi T ARMISTICE AND SCHOOLS !
