Program
All indications point to the best
hir that the county has ever put on.
Ira Lance, president of the board,
«pressed himself at the meeting
Thursday afternoon to the effect that
the entire program would be at least
SO percent better than the fair last
year. There is a program of contin­
uous performance that will be free
to those inside the gate. Ira White,
representing the Tillamook band,
presented the proposition offered by
that body of musicians, and the
hoard accepted the plan for music
to be furnished three afternoons and
three evenings, The band will con-
sist of not less than seventeen pieces
and will furnish plenty of music, A
definite program will be outlined for
the band to follow so that they will
be called upon to play almost contin­
uously from 1:30 to 4, and from 7:30
to 9. Friday afternoon after the
pioneers’ luncheon the band will give
a concert of old time nieces at 1
o’clock. The band, the Umatilla In­
dians and the performers of the
Vheeler-MacMahan amusement com­
pany will put on daily free entertain­
ments at regular periods and also
between races.
The Indians will
stage war dances, parades and will
conduct a typical tepee village on the
pounds. They are bringing sixteen
horses that will run in races against
local horses or any others that may
be on hand. William Williams, vet­
eran race-horse man of this county,
will have charge of the track and all
racing. He promises a good program
that will include relay races, Shetland
Pony races for the youngsters and
food quarter and half mile horse
races. Purses totaling over $500 will
be contested for. All entries are re­
tired to be in the day before the

A plea for the conservation1 of
clams along Oregon beaches
------- -- has
— been
issued by the state fish commission,
following investigation by Albert C.
Ross, master fish warden, which
showed that people were wasting four
times as many clams as they dug.
A poster, one by two feet, pro­
claiming the need of care in digging
clams, has been put out by the fish
commission, and will be put up at all
beach points.
“A polite request is better than
some law that will cause friction in
enforcement—and more effective,”
said Mr. Ross. “People who dig be­
tween 30 and 40 dozen clams in an
hour’s excursion rarely use more than
one dozen. The rest are thrown away.
The result is that Warrenton, which
once supported three canneries, now
has one. People who go to Astoria
and Seaside demand that district's
specialty—fried razor clams. Unless
peogle go easy with the thing, in
a few years there will be no razor
clams for visitors to delight in.”
The poster is designed especially
for city people who go to the beach
for a few days, and let their enthus­
iasm get the better of their judgment
in digging clams. It reads: “To our
visitors—The razor clam is a de­
licious morsel and good sport to dig.
You will enjoy eating them. So will
all the visitors who come after you.
When you go out to dig clams take
what you can honestly use. Don’t
waste! If you conserve, there will
be clams on our ocean beach for all
time to come. If you waste them
they will soon be gone forever.”

will meet the grand jury Friday and
Saturday, August 29 and 30. Three
state cases and six civil cases are on
the calendar so far. This of course
can be changed by additions or by
settling out of court The three state
cases will be heard Tuesday. They
are: state versus Berlin Fleck, state
versus Charles Edmunds, state versus
Saling. On Wednesday Woods versus
Burbanks and Holter versus First Na­

Seabrook versus Foley Box company,
Osborne versus Mendenhall, McAyeal

day will probably finish the court’s
business with one case: Diehl versus
Magarell.
One case that is filed which does
not appear on the calendar is Sedore
versus Muscott for about $1000 dam­
ages resulting from a fight at Nesko­

W. Sedore alleges that the defendant

In response to a cal', from the
president and in accordance with the
plans, of the War Department, De-
fense Day will be observed in Tilla­
mook county as in all other commun­
ities in the United States, Friday
September 12. Theoretically every
community in the country has been
allotted a certain number of men to
raise in case it is suddenly found
necessary to organize a large force
for the defense of the nation.
On September 12 these men will be
actually mobilized and enlisted for
one day only, and will be theoretical­
ly quartered, subsisted and drilled as
in case of acual war.
The general staff under General
Pershing has been working for the
last four or five years to complete the
organization of a system which it is
intended will do away with the slow
and costly mobilization program used
to fill the ranks in the last war. Er-
rors have been noted and loose places

Feeling Against Private Cheese Fac-
tory Leads to Tillamook
Association
Thirteen Tillamook peapie attended
the two day convention of the Pacific
northwest district of Kiwanis club
international held at Walla Walla,
Washington. Monday and Tuesday
this week. They were: Mr. and Mrs.
R. B. Miller, Mr. and Mrs. L. W.
Turnbull, Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Coats,
Mr and Mrs Fred Beltz, E G. Ander­
son, Newton Anderson, Eugene Cros­
by, Rollie W. Watson, H. T. Botts.
The Tillamook delegation made a de­
cided hit with the 48 clubs represent­
ed when they presented a large quan­
tity of cheese at the Tuesday noon
luncheon, and lead the convention in
singing. The Vancouver, B. C. club
won the international efficiency con­
test because of the manner in which
they met the emergencies arising in
connection with assistance to under­
privileged children. They also won
the district convention for 1925. The
delegates enjoyed the comic opera

Whitman College campus Monday
The chief business com-
evening.
pleted was the adoption of resolutions
for the forty eight clubs of Oregon,
Washington and British Columbia,
the Pacific northwest district, to sup­
port all legislation regulating child
labor and better citizenship.
At the regular Wednesday noon
luncheon of the local club, Thomas
Coates, chief of the city fire depart­
ment spoke on the fire chief’s con­
vention that is to be held in Astoria
on S»7*»mber 16, 16, 17 and 18. The
delegates that are to attend this con­
vention are to be routed back through

spoke on traffic problems and espe-
cially the danger at Lamb’s corner
south of the city. Carl Haberlach
dwelt a few minutes on the prospec-
tive opening of First avenue east
from Fourth street south. The club
discussed the proposed 5 mill tax
that is to be levied in the next three
years to take care of the county war­
rants, but did not go on record either
way. This master will be discussed
again next week.
A day set aside for pioneers of thia
county at the fair this year will
bring out many points of interest to
everyone who call Tillamook their
home.
Our most outstanding suc-
cess is the co-operative p r o-

agricultural product which affords
other farming sections an act-
long years of working together, 700
is seen in the developement of the
Tillamook cheese industry. Through
long years of working to gether, 700
dairy farmers, isolated in this small
Oregon coast county, have built up a
cheese trade mark which is estimated
in the business world to be worth not
less than $5,000,000.
Tillamook cheese is in a class by
itself in America. It is the best
known and highest priced Pacific
coast cheese. As a result, this dairy
section is one of the most prosperous
best improved and most highly spe­
cialized communities of the West.
The story of Tillamook cheese is
a vast lesson in achievement and en­
couragement to the Oregon dairy in­
dustry. To properly understand the
growth of this co-operative enter­
prise, we must know the early his­
tory of Tillamook county, Tillamook
bay, the chief ocean outlet of the
county, was the first Oregon harbor
entered by white man's ships, Cap­
tain Robert Gray, in 1788, while
searching for the mouth of the great
Columbia river of which he had
heard rumors, strayed by mistake
into the entrance of Tillamook bay
searching for the mouth of the great

the Columbia river.

trail. It is reported that these two
prisoners will soon be replaced on
the road gang but further attempt*
at escape will be frustrated early in
its making by a fine pair of brand
new Oregon boots. These two men
first escaped from a crew on the Ne-
tarts road only to be captured at
Sandlake after an afternoon of
strenuous hiking through almost im-
passable territory. The second time
they were given a ride in a fisher­
man’s boat from the Bayocean road
to Bay City. Each time prisoners
are recaptured after an escape their
time to serve begins all over again,
so they each still have about 'JO day*
to do for the county.
