Little Girls Thought to Never Have
Awakened From Sleep as
Smoke Killed Them
That the two girls, Rose 11, and
[Irene 9, daughters of Mr .and Mrs.
Joe Rosech, came to their deaths by
carbon monoxide poisoning was re
mit of an autopsy held here last Wed
nesday morning by Dr. Miene of Port
land. This offsets the rumors that
there was a possibility of foul play
regarding the fire which destroyed
the Rosech home, though there is
quite a few questions which are yet
to be cleared up as soon as the father
of the two girls is released from close
observation at the hospital, where he
vas taken in a crazed condition right
after the fire.
Facts whieh have been learned re
garding the fatal fire are that Mr.
Rosech left his house early Monday
morning to go to the barh for the
milking, accompanied by Lynn Smith,
who had been helping him while Mrs.
Roeech has been confined in the Boats’
hospital following the birth of an
other child last week. Rosech stated
that he had built no fire in the house
,Wore he left for the barn. His two
small daughters had been left alone
asleep in an upstairs bedroom.
A few minutes after they had been
I at work in the barn the electric lights
there went out and Mr. Rosech start
ed for the house about sixty feet
tvsy, to investigate. It was then
he discovered that his house was afire.
He and Smith made futile attempts
i to enter and bring the girls out but
| were prevented and endangered by
the smoke and flames. A watch
[later found in the ruins had stopped
¡it 6.35.
Neighbors attracted by the fire
"gged up a garden hose and were us-

An enviable record in calf raising
has been made by Thayne Smith who
has completed his third year in club
work.
The story of his accomplishments
is told in his own words. “I have
raised three purebred calves and ex
hibited them at our county fair. This
year I received $11.50 in prize money.
My first calf freshened in the
ssring and I learned to milk.
My father bought a five gal
lon milk can and I send her
milk to the factory. My milk checks
were as follows: $7.00 for ten days
in April; $27.25 for May; $24.60 for
June; $20.22 for July; and $16.32 for
August;
September and October
checks are not out yet. This is what
I made after paying for her grain.
I am depositing my money in the
bank with the intention of attending
college when I finish high school. I
am eleven years old and in the 7th
grade.”
FISH AND GAME CLUB
BANQUETS MONDAY
Five reels of motion pictures show
ing the game in various parts of the
state, including the antelope of south
ern Oregon, bob cat fights and the
trout egg-taking station at Diamond
lake were exhibited at the Monday
night meeting of the fish and game
club by Otto Jones, publicity man for
the state game commission.
A banquet was served to the club
at the Guild hall at which there were
78 present. Among those from out
of town who attended were Al May
of Portland, E. C. Simmons of Eugene
state sportsman’s association presi
dent, Mr. Craig, trout distributor for
the game commission, E. A. Burgh
duff, state game warden and Otto
Jones.
It was decided by the club to ask
the legislature to close the pheasant
hunting season in this county indefin-
itly and to make the feeding of wild
ducks unlawful.
In the near future the club plans
to have a motion picture of wild
game to exhibit to the public and the
school children.

(By Frank Kane, Contest Manager)
The popular little Miss Helen Leo
nard of Tillamook takes the lead
again in the Headlight subscription
contest that will come to a successful
close on Saturday December 6 at the
office of the Headlight at NINE P. M.
Three of the leading contestants
for the Standard Buick six and the
high honors that will go to the winner
of the first grand prize have a vote
as given in the Headlight totaling
over 1,500,000 that makes it appear
that one of the three will for sure win
the $1425 Baick six.
As the final drive is now at hand
that will settle the supremacy of
salesmanship between the contestants
each and all of them with their forces
are busily engaged at this time get
ting in all the outstanding promised
subscriptions that will seat the one
receiving the highest number of votes
in the Buick on the night of December
6th.
At this writing the towns showing
the greatest enthusiasm are Mohler,
Hebo and Tillamook, with the saying
now broadcasted among the town
boosters as lets bring the Buick to
our town, to be sure there will be
B. Lamb, county school
superintendent)
The Hebo school board is improving
its plant. Modern flush toilets were
recently installed. The playshed is
being raised and floored and will be
a very good floor for basketball as
well as a much needed community
center. On October 31 a box social
was given by the school, the proceeds
of which go towards the “gym,” $152
being the amount. This indicates a
progressive community. A modern
new school house to match the new
cheese factoiy and other business ac
tivities is next in order. Hebo has
a wide awake community club.
A very successful entertainment
was held at the Castle Rock school
on October 30.
The new school house at South
Prairie will be ready for occupancy
about December 1. Miss Arleen Til
den has been engaged for the primary
department. This building is a credit
to the progressive people of the dis
trict.
The people at Blaine have part of
the material on the ground with
which to build a play-shed.
The
school raised a portion of the money
for this purpose by giving entertain
ments.
A new playshed has been com
pleted at the union school near Clov
erdale. The teacher and school child
ren, by giving entertainments raised
the funds with which to purchase the
materials, and the construction was
done by volunteer work by the men of
the district. This is valuable com
munity co-operation.
On November 17 the County School
Superintendent apportioned among
the several schools of the county the
balance of the county school fund be
ing $19,380; the first portion, $24,748,
was sent to the districts on August
25, making a total of county school
funds for the year $44,128.
Also the last half of the elementary
fund was apportioned amounting to
$21,481.25.
On the basis of attendance of high
school pupils, not residents of the
various high school districts, the high
school funds were apportioned as
follows: Tillamook high school, $12,-
173.69; Cloverdale high school, $2,-
823.61; Bay City high school, 3,009.62;
Wheeler high school, $26.41; U. H. S.
No. 1 Nehalem, $1,392.38; Total, $19,-
135.91.
The total amount of funds ap
portioned to the schools through the
County school superintendent’s office
since Januaiy 1, 1924, are as follows:
County fund, $44,128.00; State fund,
$5,439.22; Elemenary fund, $42,962.-

tion still remains, who will take
advantage of the longer term sub
scriptions. 3,500,000 VOTES can
be gained by getting twenty five

light for ten years.
Certainly you have that many
friends that would gladly see you
win the BUICK six, if they
thought for sure you would win,
so try getting the long term
orders.
some pride going to the town that
beats Tillamook out of first prize
since it was.conceded by the outside
towns that Tillamook would not let
the first prize leave Tillamook.
However, as the vote totals show
today, Tillamook will have its hands
full taking the Buick six away from
Mohler, or Hebo, as these two towns
have set about to wrest high honors
from Tillamook.
It has been said all along that the
long term subscription orders would
pave the way for the Buick six, but
the long term subscriptions have fail
ed to materialize so far in the cam
paign. May it be said to the interest
of every contestant that only NINE-
TEN YEAR subscription orders have
been handed in so far.
Certainly your friends would not
mind subscribing for the Headlight
for ten years if they knew for sure
you had a good chance to win the
Buick wi;h several ten year subscrip
tions. 140,000 VOTES is now given
with every ten year subscription and
as votes will win the Buick why not
get the orders that will for sure make
you win.
With ihe STAR PIANO valued at
Carl Haberlach reports having ad
vanced the price of cheese one cent
upon his return from Portland where
he had gone to look the cheese situ
ation over carefully. It is true that
considerable cheese is in storage, but
he believes that all of the unsold
storage stock will work off at the ad
vanced prices.
Reports from Wisconsin indicate
that production there is still large,
but it is believed that on account of
the high prices prevailing back there
on corn and other grains that the
farmers will soon discontinue feed
ing high priced grains when they can
not receive greater returns for cheese.
The following shows storage of
cheese on November 22nd, this year
and last, in the principal Pacific Coast
cities:
San Fiancisco, 1,445,168
pounds, 735,118 pounds; Oakland,
188,754 pounds, 181,159 pounds; Los
Angeles, 2,400,768 pounds, 1 977,067
pounds; San Diego, 121,854 pounds,
88,780 pounds; Portland 168,667
pounds, 77,683 pounds; Seattle, 553,-
865 pounds, 377,332 pounds. Total
for 1924, 4,483,076 pounds; for 1923,
3,437,139 pounds.
Production in Wisconsin to the 1st
of November, 1924, was 248,000,000
pounds, in 1923, 232,000,000 pounds,
1922, 213,000,000 pounds, and 1921,
194,000,000 pounds.
This shows
graphically the increase in production
in that section.
Cold storage holding as of Novem
ber 1st this year, totaled 67,651,000
pounds against 58,488,000 pounds in
1923, and 40,851,000 in 1922.
Prices of hay and grains continue
firm but no advances are looked for
in grains, but advancing prices will
probably be in evidence in all hay
lines within a short time. Farmers
needing hay during the winter should
make provision for their requirements
now because there will be such a
scramble for hay later in the season.
