ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
It is due to the co-operation of Mrs.
Rhoda Johnson, Mrs. Cyrus Randall,
Warren Vaughn and others that this
pioneer issue of the Headlight, Tilla­
mook’s pioneer newspaper, was made
possible.
Much of the history given in this
edition is presented in a haphazard
fashion. Time did not permit our
obtaining the connecting links that
would make it a complete story.
Only a portion of the history written
by Warren N. Vaughn is here repro­
duced. This history was printed in
early issues of the Headlight and will
now be reprinted in the coming issues.
The Headlight will also from time
to time publish more of the pioneer
stories and would appreciate any as­
sistance in obtaining data.
Governor Bryan believes with his
brother that in case of war a million
men will spring to arms over night.
He is for a springing army rather
than a standing army.

Another Very Noticeable
Feature of the Intense
Fire Place Heater
A damper in a fire place only serves to re­
tard the fire and does not create more heat.
When the Intense Fire Place Heater is seen
in operation its true worth is immediatey recog­
nized and appreciated.
In damp weather a slow fire will keep the
rooms dry and sanitary.
IT CANT DO ANYTHING ELSE Bl T HEAT
The cost is less than that of any heater
which will produce equally efficient results. See
your local agent.
