Twenty-One Directors Hear Reports
of Dairy and Cheese In-
spectors
Unless a high quality of milk is de
manded by the cheesemakers of their
patrons, Tillamook’s reputation as a
leader in the cheese marker will be
impaired.
This was the trend of a statement
made to the directors of the Tilla
mook County Creamery association
last Wednesday by Secretary Haber-
lach, when the association held its
regular meeting. Each director was
asked to take it upon himself to see
that the cheesemaker of his own fac
tory was insisting on the high stand
ard set by the association some years
ago.
D. M. Botsford, advertising agent
for the association, appeared before
that organization Wednesday to con
fer regarding the 1925 advertising,

cents per pound of all cheese manu
factured for advertising for the com
ing year.
The reports of the deputy dairy and
food commissioner, D. R. Tinnerstet,
and the association cheese inspector,
Fred Christensen, were received at
the Wednesday meeting. The former
reported that he had made fifty-two
inspections during the month—five
factories and’forty-seven dairies, with
eighteen of the dairies scored. The
highest score for a dairy was 89.3
and the lowest 41, with an average
score of 69.8. There were twenty-
one condemnations during the period
covered by Mr. Tinnerstet’s report,
one a milking machine, fourteen
milk cans, four pails and two strain
ers.
Thirty-six patrons were found to
be cooling the evening milk and
eleven not cooling. All herds were
found tested for tuberculosis.
Mr. Christensen, in his cheese re
port, showed 26,021 triplets manufac
tured for August, of which 128 were

During the recent rains water came
through the walls on the south side
and ran over a considerable portion
of the floor. Unless something is
done to prevent this in the future it
is stated that a great deal of damage

Captain Shearer- reported that the
cost of water proofing the outside of

$1700, making a total of $4400 neces
sary to complete the building.
Forty thousand dollars has been
spent so far on the building, of which
$20,000 was furnished by the state
and $10,000 each by the county and
city. It was known at the time con
struction was commenced that this
amount was insufficient to complete
the building.
TILLAMOOK HIGH
WINS OVER LINFIELD
Tillamook high was the victor in a
hard fought game with Linfield col
lege of McMinnville Saturday after-
niin. The score was 6 to 0.
The Tillamook team had a v^'iy
fast lineup and they succeeded in
making 8 first downs to Linfield» 2.
They completed 2 out of 3 passes,
while Linfield attempted 3 and com
pleted none. The winning touchdown
came in the second half after a varied
attack of off-tackle smashes.
The average weight of the local
team was 165 pounds while Linfield'B
was 185. Tillamook’s lineup was as
follows: R. £., O. Johnson, R. T.,
C. Thomas; R. G., J. Harrison; C., C.
Ware; L. G., Gienger; L. T., A. Min
ier; L. E., M. Miller; F. B„ Tucker;
R. H., CL Johnson; L. H., L. Johnson;
Q. Mahan.
After the showing made by the
T. H. S. eleven Saturday, Corvallis
high school telephoned to Coach
Sheeley for a game. This is consid
ered quite a compliment for the local
team as Corvallis is one of the best
teams in the state. Last year they
played The Dalles for the champion
ship and were defeated by only one
point.
Tillamook will play Newberg Fri
day at Newberg. One of the Port
land busses has been engaged to car
ry the team from here. A number of
others beside the learn are expected
to go also.
The next game on the local grid
iron will be played with Seaside on
October 10.
