Mr. Drew expects to remain in this city for some time as this has been his home for about forty years. His two daughters, Mrs. Lee Doty and Mrs. Steinbach are also residents of this city.

There was hardly enough cash ¡raised to pay for the orchestra, say reports, and the men will get along ¡with what Uncle Sam provides them for the next two weeks. Not that the government is not generous in the soldiers’ mess allowance, but na­ tional guardsmen are mostly boys [rom home who are unused to the straight camp food, and who appre- riate a few delicacies to go along irith the staples. People of Tillamook :ounty have denied them these. It has long been a subject of com- nent and much criticism, that, dur- ng peace times, a soldier is not ranted or appreciated. During war imes, when these men are badly leeded to save the skins and property if others, nothing is too good for hem. This feeling of apathy is not leculiar to one community alone; it s widespread and has happened prior o and following every war we have iver had. One sometimes wonders why any- ne is fool enough to try to do any- hing for the nation—the job is thank- ess, and the public and patriotic- pirited citizen usually comes out the ittle end of the horn. In a recent issue of the “Headlight” ppeared a very thorough and com- irehensive editorial enitiled “Tax laters, Frills "and Excessive Ex- enditures.” The article was written nd signed by Fred C. Baker, ormer editor of the Headlight. The Oregon Voter” of June 7 has copied 1 he article and as a result a very ap- reciate letter comes from J. L. loule, of Baker, Oregon. He refers specially to the last paragraph in Ir. Baku ’s work, which reads as oilows: “To get down to brass tacks i here is only one sensible and prac- • ical way to reduce taxation, and that s to .educe expenditures in state, ounty, city and school districts, cut ut the frills and get rid of a whole Jt of tax eaters who can be dis-1 ensed with.” In commenting upon I his paragraph Mr. Soule says: “It *•’ set a standard, the following of ihich will enable you to achieve the er7 laudable ambition of reducing Ws in Oregon.” Mr. Soule, who has written the »mmunication to tlfe office of C. C. hapman, editor of the “Oregon Vot- r ■ goes on to suggest feasible leans of bringing about the desired ^-reduction, by a slogan in each '"-e and constant tabulation of wast- money. Here are some of the slo­ ws that he suggests: Let the people who want the frills *>' the taxes to cover the bills.” t3X eaters j°bs building the “More power to thy arm and ** point to thy pen.” “Keeping | Wrlastingly at ft brings success.” **P on a keeping on.” is drier at this time of year than ever before known. Already forest fires are taking their toll of large tracts of timber and it has been suggested that our national forests be closed to tourist traffic. As most of these fires are caused by man, this terrific annual loss in timber, buildings and lives rest al­ most wholly with the people who live in or use our forests. Every newspaper, every moving picture theater, every public speaker, every teacher and every minister should call the attention of the pub­ lic to the necessity for caution in the woods and for hearty co-oper­ ation in preventing and extinguishing fires of every description that are found unattended. Officers of the law should see that punishment is quickly given to offenders against rules and regula­ tions which seek to safeguard our forests and people who live in same.

Rockaway, Oregon FIRE INSURANCE CHARACTERISTIC POSE OF OUR TILLAMOOK BOY S, WHO ARE NOW AT CAMP LEWIS FOR THE ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT CATTLE MEN NOT DISCOURAGED OVER DROUTH CONDITIONS OUR NEWSPAPER VISITORS Newspaper men in Portland today are out where the West is. In Oregon, they are in the state with the largest stand of saw tint- ber, with Washington second and Californa third. The three have as much timber as all the other states combined. In Washington they are in the state that has more water power than any other, with California sec- and and Oregon third. The three have as much water power as have all the rest of the states. Portland has more tributary water power than any other city in America and poss­ ibly in the world. A map issued by the United States Chamber of Cmomerce shows Oregon all white — meaning prosperity; Washington all white, and California nearly all white, On this map, more prosperity is shown in the three states than in any other equal area in America. It’s all live information for the ever alert and intelligent gentlemen of the press to carry back home— Oregon Journal. Cat: lemen of Eastern Oregon are not entirely discouraged by the' drought conditions which prevail east i of the Cascades, according to E. N. i Kavanagh, assistant district forester in charge of grazing who recently made an inspection tour of range conditions in that section of the state. “Cattle prices are holding up,” I Kavanagh said, “and it is expected they will go higher. In many local­ ities large quantities of hay have been held over from last season and will make up to some extent for the deficiency in this year’s crop.” Although there has been no appre­ ciable rainfalf east of the Cascades for an alarming length of time, Kav­ anagh reports that in many localities the feed on the range has recently freshened up and evidence a more vig­ orous growth. This he says may be accounted for by the fact that the air has held more moisture. The lower country of Eastern Ore­ gon is now as dry as it usually is in August Kavanagh said, and stream beds that have held water for over 50 years are now dry. This means that stock will go to market weighing less, he said. But prices are staying with the stockman, he continued, and old hay will do a great deal in tiding over the situation. 1) WILLING TO SERVE Old Glory’s Birthday Portland, Oregon Every home, public building and place of business in Tillamook County should display Old Glory on that day.
