Of course Tommy’s demeanor is in no wise hostile for he desports him­ self within eighty to one hundred feet of the bathers and seems to enjoy the company. Perhaps his flappers want to flirt with the boys in the bright bathing suits, ana tnen again maybe he is looking for the super man who broke into big headline not so long ago. At any rate, Tommy Sea Lion is be­ coming quite tame and Oceansiders hope to have, within a few days, a side ring attraction that will put to shame the most awe inspiring crea­ ture ever captured in darkest Africa.

In both cases his wife, an energetic but sweet dispositioned Swiss woman, has been the victim of the cruel treatment, On the first offense Hertig was released on his promise to refrain from these out­ bursts of inhumanity, but this second offense is apparently as serious as the first, the chief implement of chastisement being a two-foot length of rubber hose. The man is being held for trial with bail set at $500 Errol E'mbum was fined 8200 for unlawful fishing with a gill net above the dead-line. Frank Mayhew was fined $25 for unlawful fishing. Joseph E.

All grade cows that have at present or even have had an annual production of 550 pounds of butter fat or over are elgible to entry, These cows will be judged in the same class­ es as the pure-breds and the prizes will be equal to those awarded to the pure-bred entries. Another feature of the fair is to be Pioneer Day, on the last day of the fair, September 12, Friday. Frank Pike, a native of the county and well posted on pioneers and their promi­ nent constituents was appointed chairman and will have full charge of this feature of the event. Pioneers of the county will be completely rep­ resented by old-timers of this section and this feature is expected to become a permanent event of the annual fairs in the future. Speakers and representatives of pioneers of the state and northwest are being looked for to make this part of our celebra­ tion a success. One of the most emphatic demands for the success of the fair has been met with in the arrangement for this pioneer day. The founders and builders of the county and city have been, for several years, neglected in regard to some sort of commemora- The basket luncheon held by the (Continued on page 8) United Brethren church at the Elliot grove on Kilches river last Sunday was a decided success and fully en­ joyed by all who attended the open air services and luncheon. Reverend Woolever delivered the regular morn­ ing sermon on “The Home,” and after the noonday lunch A. G. Beals, well known in Tillamook, spoke on “Our Duty to the Church.” There were sev­ eral special numbers of a pleasing musical nature. Miss Smith played a saxaphone solo, Mrs. John Graff rendered a whistling solo and Misses Agnes and Esther Mills sang a duet. The singing of the choir and congre­ gation was especially enjoyed, being very well done and indicative of the enthusiasm manifest in the open air services. Mr. Woolever hopes to make this an annual affair.

The first day of the convention has been exceedingly enjoyable and past all expectations since the drizzling rain of all day Wednesday has ceased and indications are that good weather will follow. About 650 visiting Elks had registered at 5 p. m. Thursday. Several of them took in the deep sea trips, and others attended the rodeo during the afternoon.
