Attention Company K! You are it!
You have won the big silver cup
offered by the Oregonian for the best
record for attendance of any company
of O. N. G. in the state!
The city of Tillamook and the coun
ty as well, congratulates you on your
splendid achievement. You have con
ferred honor on the town, and at the
same time placed your organization
in an enviable place at the head of
the column.
Boys, keep it there! We need that
cup right here in Tillamook for a
number of years to come. It is up to
you, and the people who take a pride
in your organization, believe you will
do it.
The decision whch gave the cup to
the Tillamook company—Company K,
162id Infantry—was arrived at by a
board of officers after looking over
the records of thirty five organiza
tions of the National Guard in this
state.
Tillamook stood 86.2 per cent, and
the nearest competitor was Company
G. of Portland, with 84.1 per cent.
Watch that Portland company. It’s
after you, but it can’t get you, if you
keep going. The Tillamook company
will hold the trophy for a year, and
after that—well, we make prediction
that Tillamook will keep on holding
it. Boys, see that the Jfeadlight is
not proven a false prophet

At the last legislature a bill was
passed to standardize all hose and
hydrants in the state, and all other
fire equipment outside of regular fire
companies. The threads being cut
at this place this week, will make all
hose and hydrants threads the same,
so that no difficulty will be had in
that respect at any time. There are
3,000 feet of hose in this city and
about 75 hydrants to be worked over
to comply with the state law. It is
believed that by the coming Saturday
the work will all be completed in
this city. Operations are going on
at the engine house.
Edward R. Wolfe and H. J. McIn
tosh, deputy state fire marshals have
the work in charge here, and the city
is at no expense in the matter of the
change, as there men are paid from a
fund derived by the state from lic-
ense received from the various in-
surance companies registered in the
state.
The work is so arranged that
should a fire occur, in the meantime,
the engine and hose would immedi
ately be available. It is understood
that three-fourths of the states in
the union, have standardized hose and
hydrants. The men in charge of the
work travel all ovei the state, and
use an automobile, in which are tools
an<( apparatus.
When the men leave here, they
will go to Sheridan. Headquarters
are in Salem.

A timber deal aggregating a total
of $3,750,000 has been concluded, by
which 5,000 acres of standing timber
in Washington county, well up on the
eastern slope of the Coast range was
transferred to a corporation known
as the Shunghai Building company,
and the deal takes in the holdings’of
the Bade company with the mill at
Devitte, Oregon, and a part of the
Hammond Lumber company and the
holdings of the Michigan-Oregon Lum
ber company.
It is reported that the new com
pany will actively engage in the man
ufacture of lumber with docks in
Portland. It is also stated that the
S. P. company and the Gales Creek &
Wilson River railroad will be used to
haul the output of the mills to Port
land.
A small portion of the timber con
veyed lies in Tillamook county close
to the Tillamook and Washington line.
The lumber cut by the new firm will
be exported to China.
