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.

Mrs. C. J. Hicox, of Pleasant Valley

Decoration of the city in prepara

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. This firm are first class deco
rators, having given entire satisfac
tion to the committees in charge of
the Portland rose festival, for the
last several years. Decorations will
extend along ten blocks, with three
lines of decorations across each
street. These lines will consist of
five streamers each, of special Elks
materal. 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

warden working this district, for the

Recently the General Contracting lumbermen’s fire protective associa-
company of Portland was given a ton.
Carl Nelson, of the Whitney lumber
contract to finish the work and this
week the work was commenced. The company was placed under arrest one
contract as given allows only for the day last week for unlawful operation

of the work. Finishing of the road will $25 and costs for not having provided

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.

solve any problems that the dairy
men wished to be helped with. At

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.
