1 ÍJilliiinno VOLUME 36; NUMBER 39 TILLAMOOK, OREGON, FRIDAY, JULY 4, 1924 TRAFFIC VIOLATORS STILL PAY COUNTY One Jury Case Fails to Bring Verdict Total of 465 Calves Shipped of Guilty to Accused in Traffic Case at Close of Season From County CAPTURE FAIR PRIZES Outlook for Next Year Seems Very Bright for Marketing Local Stock The calf season for the cow test ing association was brought to a suc cessful close last week. According to County Agent W. D. Pine there have not been very many more calves ship ped this year than last but the orders have been plentiful and a large num ber were never accepted. The county agent states that there were orders for 1,000 more head if they had been available. At the close of this year’s season 465 head of association calves were ■hipped. This number of calves rep resents $4,417.50 paid to members of the association. Additional to this a considerable sum was brought to Til lamook county which was used in crat ing, feeding and in other work neces sary in handling these calves. A larg er number of the dairymen in the county this year who are not in the association took advantage of this proposition and purchased calves dir ect from the herds of the members Approximately 100 calves were sold in this manner. This would bring the total value of the association calves sold to $5,367.50. Shipping destinations for these calves have been for the most part southern Oregon points. Eighty-five head were shipped to Klamath Falls and orders for 50 additional head were returned on account of the foot and mouth disease, not being able to pass through California. This makes the third year that the association has handled its own calves. Although the association has increased in stock enrolled over 200 per cent in the past three years they never have yet been able to fill the orders that were available. One shipment of six head was made to Grass Valley, Cal ifornia. The following week an order for 30 head came to the county »gent’s office, but at that time calves were not available and the order later had to be cancelled on account of the Quarantine. At the Klamath county fair last year the association gave a prize to the boy or girl making the best show ing with a cow testing association c*lf. In this class there were thirty- five calves, all of which had been •hipped by the Tillamook county as- •oeiation. A similar prize list was offered an accepted in other localities. Mr. Pine states that the outlook For next year shows greater pros- Poots than ever before. California •’ll need cattle; in fact they have al- ^-*iy inquired as to the number of *** that Tillamook will be able to •npply when the quarantine is lifted. LOCAL LEGION POST Unadulterated zeal still character izes the work of the county traffic officers, for this week several more Violators of traffic laws were caught and haled before Justice E. W. Stan ley for punishment. L. H. Spight, part owner of the Tillamook Herald, was caught speed ing and fined $10 and costs. T. A. Sutherland and Fred Poorman were also fined this amount for speeding. H. F. Goff was fined $5 and costs for unlawful operation of an automobile. E. M. Clinton was found not guilty by a Jury before justice court on a charge of unlawful operation of an automobile. This case grew out of a collision between Clinton’s machine and another at the Lamb corner, south of this city. FISH CLUB LUNCHEON HELD HERE MONDAY The local fish club enjoyed a big trout feed on Monday evening at the guild hall, at which about fifty men were present, The trout used for the banquet were caught by eight mem- bers of the club, and the entire menu was prepared by the personel of the organization. At a short business meeting it was decided to request the state game protective association to plant bass in some of the fishing wa ters of the county. This will afford an additional element to the already varied phases of sportmanship in the county and is a very commendable action. A suggestion to procure a suitable button to be worn by the club mem bers will probably be carried out at an early date. Every one says they surely enjoyed the trout feed. FENCE STRADDLED BY AUTOMOBILE Friday night Hardy Elliff, driving a car for Mr. Smith of Tillamook had rather an unusual accdent. The car headed for the railing of a small bridge on the highway near Pleasant Valley. It straddled the rail and skidded on top of it for about twenty feet, then toppled over, back into the road. The driver escaped with noth ing more than a few bumps and scratches, and the car will be in good order with a few repairs. WOMAN IS INJURED IN AUTO WRECK Mrs. C. J. Hicox, of Pleasant Valley met with rather a serious accident last Saturday evening when her car turned over while making the turn at Lamb's corner south of town.

Contract This Year Calls Only for Grading of Roadway BEGUN DURING WAR Finishing of Road to be a Great Con- venience to People of North End of County PRICE $2.00 THE YEAR ELK DECORATIONS TO COVER STREETS KIWANIS LUNCHEON IS WELL ATTENDED Special Materials to Dress Up City A Blocks for Convention Next Month Decoration of the city in prepara tion for the Elks convention which is to be held in Tillamook on August 14, 15 and 16, will begin about August 6. The American decorating company of Portland have contracted for the work.

Three entrances to the city, south, north and east will be orna mented with especially designed arches. The armory and Elk’s hall will be decorated as well as all of the store fronts along the streets. After a considerable period of con tention and some misunderstanding and trouble between the county, state and the railroad company, work has finally started on the Brighton-Jetty Creek stretch of the Roosevelt high way, which, when completed, will see the entire road open through Tilla mook from Clatsop to Lincoln coun ties. This project was actively begun during the late war, when a number of prominent citizens of the Oregon coast counties put their shoulders to W. J. Frost, G. W. Frost and E. the wheel and finally got the proper amount of support necessary to make Frazier were arrested one day last the road a success. The government week for unlawfully leaving a camp was induced to get behind the road fire burning. They were placed under Segertse, state fire will an appropriaton on account of arrest by A. warden working this district, for the its having a military value.

FOREST PROTECTION IS BEING STRESSED Beach Resorts Preparing for Crowds of Pleas- u re-Seekers CELEBRATIONS COSTLY People Tire of Old Style Celebrations and Look, for Something to Give Variety if it doesn’t rain today—and the prospects are that it will not—Tilla mook county and its guests from the Willamette valley will celebrate the anniversary of Independance day in outing style, at the beaches and mountains. At least the beach resort people are preparing for the crowds, and the mountains are always pre pared. Tillamook city decided to pass up a Fourth celebration this year on ac count of the heavy financial drain which will be caused by two conven tions in this city, which are scheduled to take place within the next two months. These celebrations and con- vent ions cost money, too much is enough, so outside resorts will have things their own way this year, It has been considered well for one oth er reason also, that is the possibility of tiring people with old style cele brations every year; most of them want a change and will patronize any kind of affair which is a little differ ent from the last. So sunburn, picnic lunches, and sea bathing will probably take the place of running races and climbing the greased pole today. THE FOURTH OF JULY To the sages who spoke, to the heroes who bled, To the day and the deed, strike the harpstrings of glory! Let the song of the ransomed remember the dead, And the tongue of the eloquent hal low the story! O’er the bones of the bold Be the story long told, And on fame’s golden tablets their tri umphs enrolled. Who on freedom’s green hills freedom’ banner unfurled, And the beacon-fire raised that gave light to the world! They are gone—mighty men!—and they sleep in their fame: Shall we forget them? Oh, never! no, never! Let our sons learn from us to embalm each great name, And the anthem send down—“Inde pendence forever!” Wake, wake, heart and tongue! Keep the theme ever young; Let their deeds thru the long line of ages be sung, Who on freedom’s green hills free dom’s banner unfurled, And the beacon-fire raised that gave light to the world! —Chas. Sprague. Where liberty dwells, there is my country. —Beni Franklin Hundred Members and Gueets Present at Weekly Affair of Steady Increase is Noted in Production Over Past Years I Club Wednesday noon at the weekly Ki- wanis club luncheon a very beneficial and enjoyable session was held.

BIG CHECKS WERE FEW Reports Are Heard by Directora ia Regular Monthly Meeting of Association i Reports from the office of the Tilla mook County Creamery association state that the month of May, thia year, had the highest production in the history of the organization. A total of 9,873,584 pounds of milk was delivered during this period to the twenty-four factories now operating for the association. The Elwood fac- try was destroyed by fire in April. Cheese to the amount of 1,088,690 was manufactured and the finished product sold for $266,077.05, f. o. b. Tillamook. The total number of box es for last May was 14,596, as com pared to 14,111 for the same period last year, and 18,348 in 1922. Interesting figures in this connect- tion were gleaned from old files of the Headlight for May, 1909, fifteen years ago. Total production for that date was 1,768,841 pounds of cheeaa from 8,575,695 pounds of milk, bring ing in an income of $55,028. Fifteen factories were in operation then, the highest producing of which were Til lamook, Maple Leaf and Fairview. At that time there were about ten dairymen in the county getting monthly checks of over $500; now there are over one hundred getting these checks. In May 1909 the three highest milk checks were M. W. Harrison $854.77; E. and A. Marolf $826.98; and Mrs. A. L. Donaldson $758.36. The above comparison gives some idea of the growth of the dairy indus try in Tillamook county for the past fifteen yesrs and is of interest to old- timers of this section. The directors of the creamery as sociation met last Wednesday and heard the report of Inspector Fred Christensen, which showed that there were 41,682 triplets, 16,930 loaf and 480 longhorns made during May. Of these 657 triplets and 162 loaf were seconds. Dairy Inspector D. R. Tin- nerstet also made his report for the month. D. M. Botsford, member of the ad- vertising firm handling the associa tion’s publicity, was present and de livered a talk on advertising. After the meeting the directors to the num ber of 21 attended a Kiwanis dinner.
