son. 1t was generally agreed that the
League was the best organization yet
produced to protect the dairymen in
their business. 1t requires the signing
op OF 20 per cent of all the dairymen in
each zone to effect one organization.
II is a big concern but It puts the
damyman in full control OF his own
business and fully protects them in
AL their rights. The dairymen all over
the country are beginning to appre.
ctate the League and are doing all
they can to have every dairyman OF
Tho country join 1t. The Siletz dairy
men are nearly unanimous in favor OF
tho League.

to prompt everyone to ;ake ar interest
and as usual the house was crowded.

In charge of the program. Then came
the selling of the baskets and the
serving of lunch in cafeteria style.
The sale and use of the baskets were
greatly enjoyed and so was the cake,
coffee and sandwiches. When the fun
was all over and the money counted it
amounted to s6420.
Saturday, January 10Th, was an un-
usual day. Dark heavy clouds hung
over the hills to the west with an oc-
cnssional gust of wind and then 1t
would break away and clear up but
the clouds would thicken up again.
About noon or little after a strong
gust of wind came along at the rate Of
about 80 miles an hour in the shape of
q cyclone, struck Lee Wades new
house (bungalow) anu raised it from
the foundation and blew it over about
ten feet. The building was enclosed
and the roof put on with the front
porch partly finished. The building
when completed would have cost about
$4,000. The house cannot be raised
and replaced but will have to be taken
to pieces and rebuilt. The loss is large
and affects the whole community.
The wind also damaged one corner
of The Play House.
