TILLAMOOK JSPROGRESSING Land 'of "Cheese and Trees" Rapidly Developmg-Capable County Court m Charge of Important Road Program I!y 8. C. Morton Illlamook county I a cIoho neli'h o r cf Columhla. It Im .domical with thoso of Columbia. Iiereioro I ,elu!Ve ; short story as to tho development of Tillamook nou-ity. tho prouros that tt ,e made. Industrially, rrom an agrlcel- ura tundpolm and from lis road bulldliiR program, will hn of Int-rest to Columbia county people. I spent tlm greater portion of Ins week In Tillamook Cltv n,,,l u.. rounding country, and camo awm ""viiiK viited a consid'srablo pinion of the county, firmly Ini rrcsHod that Tillamook is groat country mid ha a sreut future. I as also much Impressed hy tlio hos plliillty of the people, the solHl of 'ooperiitiim manifested und their ex pressions of conflil-nco n the future me iiiiamook country. I a Ij.rtfe County. I" Heceinber. 1K13. Tillamook county was f( riued. heliiR taken from the counties of Yamhill and Clatsop. It derived Its name rrom the Tilla im.ok Indian nation. In 1 1 1 K there were i,us;i ucrrs of .tillable land. 41.U.7I0 ncres of timber land and I39.7f.0 acres of iion-tlllahlo 1 111 Him total valuation helnz uiinoHt til . "DO.OUU. Since ID 18. tlio nerca nf tillable land ka IncrniiHad nnd the amount or limber land has decreased hut only to a small Extent, for Tilla mook county has wiihln li i.m.n. d.irlou moro than 20 billion foot of choice timber, fir, cedar, hemlock mi spruce. Il is said by timhernien who knon of the vust timber resources of tl county, that the ouiput of logs and lumber could ho quadrupled and even 1 hen, Tillamook county's forests would still have billions of feet of choice Umber left at the end of 25 cr 30 years of operation. And so much for the timber wealth cf Tilla mook. IJreuter Than Trees. AVng tlm western coast of Tilla mook county and between two moun tain ranges, lies a fcrtllo valley, 'jo (ho south of Tillamook City and ex tending some 35 mile to Cloverdnlo and further, tho fertile land along llio .NcHtuRKii und Heaver rivers, furnish past tlio for thousunds of fine, cattle :uid they, in turn, together with the herds along the Wilson and Miami river to Ilia north of Tillamook pro duce inure than , 53,000,000 pounds or milk, which, In 11)19, mado. 6, 01)1,2,!) pound of cheese (Tillamook cheese) which was old for $2,007, 500.00. Since 1909, Tillamook coun ty has produced anil sold $8,612,- 003.05 worth of cheese und it Is pre dicted that the year 1920 will sur pa:. all former records. It can be seen, therefore, that while Tillamook county I wealthy lu tret-s, that it Is iiioro wealthy In Its cheese, for the 1 -liner Is decreasing and tie latter h Increasing. And thcro arc some mighty well lo do ranchers In that .-ountry. K(.r Instance, during one iiioiil 11 last fall, there were -; farm ers who received over $1000 per month for their milk supply, 5 re ceived fucre than 'J.0J0 1 ml 2 re ceived more than $250i per month, h'roiii this, I -would judge Hat the T1llr.1111.uk cow r.re unibltlouB end wish to do their full duty to their owners. (iooil Itoiids Itring Progress. An old time resident of Tillamook (ity told mo that Tillamook's pros perity could he directly ultrHi tied to good roads, nnd wneu louiiiy Headmaster John Carroll took mo from Tillamook to Pacific City, unto 5 mile, and I met not loss than 40 auto trucks laden with checso. or?,!!"., milk, hay, lumber, aud otner pro ducts, 1 believed the old time resi dent. And not only were there trucks headed towards Tillumoow; I hero were dozens of car loads of peo ple hound for the city to do their shopping. Possibly ton null's 01 me rou:i is hard surfaced. Tlm work was begun by tho county nnd. later taken over by the state and Is a portion 01 -.lie Pitciric Highway. And while spe-ik-lug of this highway, we might in-c.i-.ii those resident of Columbia cMinty that It they wish to visit Tillamook, they can go via roruanu, McMlnnvllie, Shoridi'.n nnd throu.i !ho reservation nnd they will not ! ravel, r.t any placo on the entire dis tance of 112 miles from Portland as rough roads as the St. Helens-Scap-nooso road now Is. The county Is doing much work on tho main roads; they do the grading ....1 iim Htaie has agreed to hnrd- surfaeo. Tillamook county Is well enulpped for accompiisiiiiig koou work at a minimum cost. Headmas ter Carroll, who, by the way, is one of thoso wldo awake, energetic con struction engineers, whose middle ininio should bo work, told me that his main equipment was two drod gors 4 steam shovels (they are of the caterpillar typo and go by their own power from place to place . i crush ers ' Jnrltorlos. 1 4 5-caterplllar and Holt truck layers, and of course there are other small Items. The road building much ir cry Is valued at $175,000 and Is kept busy. If a rol or or steam shovel is Idle in dls- rlet 1. Carroll ',k8 11 ! 80,118 oilier district where It is needed, and he anrt his deputy roadu.as.ers see ,0 u "hot the machinery is never Idle when it Is needod. Court (KKHl Hoad Holers. The County Court. Judge A. M. Haw 11. V. Alloy and H. M. Farmer .ens' and have the confidence and cooperation of the taxpayers ot H tamook county. The county U dl- COUNTY vlded Into throo road districts. Com missioner Alley whose home' 1 in Nohulein has the supervision of Dis trict 1; Judgo Hare looks after Dis trict No. 2 and Commissioner Farmer I responsible for District 3. but there is no haggling as to districts, the Judge and commissioners . evi dently preferring to work for iilla meok county as a whole rather than Tillamook county as to districts. Tlm moto of the court is "perma nent roads, well built and properly located" and with this end In view the $187,000 road fund is be.ng properly expended. Judge Hare la serving his second term und refuses to run ugaln; Commissioner Alley, after having served a purt of a term, and one full term, is ugaln called on by the taxpayer to serve another term and Commissioner Farmer is finishing out his second term. The county court und Koadmuster Car roll understand each other and work together and Tillamook Is getting $1 value for $1 expended. Building Market Kouds. Tho Market Uoad fund in Tilla mook county Is approximately $48, 000 and all of It is not going to he spent on one road. The road from Tillamook to Netarts will be opened und made nassahlR. Tim r,.,..i ... Hand Lake will have Its proportion of I 1110 iiinu aim 1110 settlers who have been in that section for some years will have the benefit of good roaa to market. . In Hie northern end of the eounty. a portion of the market road fund will be expended on the Tillamook Clatsop road aud this road is now open to traffic. I .saw a truck heav ily hulen with gasoline which had just come from Seaside and the driver said the road in Clatsop was fairly rood and in Tillamook mucti better. Judgo Hare told me that ho hoped tialsop county would fix up their portion of tlm ro.nl an It will 1.0 nr,u blblo to make tho round trip from Portland to Tillamook via Astorla Seuslde, Tillamook and through Sher- luan-.MCAllnnvtlle to Portland. Iucli Itoail Work in Progress. Tho county court hus much road work In progress, so much that an itemized statement of it would re quiie more space to describe than is available. However, it might be Bald, that the roads are boing atraigh tn'iod, tho steep grades climiuuted and wherever It is possible to effect a saving in distance and dispense with a grade, it is bnins- rinnn There is another thing too, which! attracted my attention and that is 1 uie rona signs. Koadmuster Carroll must hr.ve recently had an experience in the vustness of the Willamette plains and probably got lost. Per nc.ps iio wus heudou for Salem when lie wanted to muke RtcMinnvllle, so In order Hint the per.plo who travel tlio Tillamook roads may know just whore thev are eoinir. Im hna aiirtia nt evory cross rouds, giving the name ot t! roads, tho towns to be reached and the distance to each locality, 1.0 it is not possible 10 lose your way .11 1 tuamuoK.

It will be well worth while. WILL PAVE TO COLUMBIA HIGHWAY A matter of prime Importance to St. Helens wus given consideration by the county court this week when the decision wus made to pave the street, which is In reality a county road, from the city hull to the connection with the highway. A committee from the Chamber of C'omniorco met with the court and urged the need of this improvement. Iu order that work may be done ut once nnd the delay of several mom lis avoided Incident to the usual routine necessary in awarding audi contracts, the Chamber of Commerce commit tee proposed to pay the interest on the bonus to Jan. 1, 1921, tl e earliest date upon which interest would be gin to accrue. Hy this method the contract csuld be awarded at once and the contrac tors assured f their Iutere3t for th time intervening. The court took a favorable view of the matter and agreed Hint the paving would be done at once. The committee lost no time raising the necessary funds to carry out their part of ibe transaction, which means that this short piooi ol road will in the near future be a paved thoroughfare lnsteud of tlm rough and rocky road It now presents to the truvoler. P. A. Dixon ot tills city has been appointed supervising warden for Washington and Columbia counties with Oregon Fire Patrol association of Portland Mr. Dixon aud Secre tary Scott of the association made a trip over tho district this week. C. J Larsen, who left here some time since for Texas, writes 'to the Mist as follows. "We Just received the Mist of April 30th and wns glad to get it, as it is interesting to hear from Columbia county. we have BDent a month in Texas, but will start tomorrow for Kansas. It Is getting warm here now," , BALLAGH FAVORED FOR REPRESENTEE Sentiment Kih-iiin lo Favor Keronr Term Tor lli-,ri-NOiittive Who Made Good In State) 1-glHlutuie.. The main topic of political dis cussion as to the coming primary election is "who will bo tho next rep tesentatlve, Ilallagh or Tarbell" for the main talk is which of theso can didate; is best qualified for tho po sition. The majority, so far as the Mist can ascertain, favor Uallagh and point out that by reason of tils e;. ccllent record In the of 1919 and the special session of lau, inai ne is entitled to another term. There are none, so far us the Mist can learn, who question M. Halhigh's honesty or integrity and all give him credit, for doing what he thought was the rlcht thlni? when ho represented Columbia county at the lepisiaiirre. It seems to be a recognized fact that Mr. Ilallaeh alilv renreaentofl Columbia county nnd in view of this, 1110 majority 01 rair-mlnd-.'d voi.ua favor him for re-eleclino. liallngh's friends have no ill words to speak against Tarbell. On the other hand they praise him as an able, conscientious nnrt reli.il.ln mnn They cannot see, ljowever, where he ""' uvcuuipiisii ine same amount of good for the county as could Bal lagh, wh after two sessions of ex perience, gained a wide following in the legislature by his devotion lo duty, his recoenized liiderahin Ir measures beneficial to tho county nnd state and his untiring efforts to bring ubout just and neejed legislation. SALVATION ARMY DRIVE NEXT WEEK Beginning Monday, May 17th, and continuing to the 22d, inclusive, a drive will be made to raise the sun allotted to St. Helens In the state wide drive to raise funds for the Sal vation army. Tho allotment for the county Is $4000, and of this amount $i00e Is allotted to St. Helens. Chas. L. Wheeler is chairman of the city drive and H. T. McCormick is the county chairman. These gentlemen are nnxiouB to make good for the county and St. Helens and ask that all cit izens come forward without waiting to be asked. The allotment is not large in either instance und a small contribution on the part of each will easily raise the amounts desired. It Is a worthy cause and the chair men In charge anticipate no great difficulty In raising tho quotas 01 county and city. --' ST. HELENS WILL CELEBRATE FOURTH St. Helens Chamber of Commerce Una Plans I'mler Way to Properly Celebrate Fourth of July. Friday evening of last wees a com mittee from the Portland Motor Boat club met with representatives o the Chamber of Commerce for the pur pose ot formulating plans for a Fourth of July celebration in St Helens.
