To Tin Ewtoe: Having recently taken, with my family, whatlconsider a Very attractive outinir. In onr own county, I am disposod to call the atten tion oi oilier pleaaureseekere to the rout traversed, a I believe it to have boon heretofore overlooked and alighted for leas attractive fields. Our first day's Journey was to th Nn halem. where we camoud for a nounle of dnya, on a little brook about two miles umow nusMurg. nere we lounu an abundance of crawfish, arout, brunli rabbits and other (mull game. The water of the brook, as well aa of some of the neighboring springs and wells, was quite strongly impregnated with Iron. The fields were well supplied with wild berries, and fHrmera from the sparsely settled district sent u thick cream instead of skimmed milk. The cooling shade of an ideal campground added to our appetites, and we left camp with an Impression that the Nehalem in a great country, and deserves several of tlie railroad now contending for its fu ture freights, an imorossion which all our subsequent experience more fully confirmed. Our next day' Journey was along the northern hank of the the beautiful Ne halem, which alternately plunge and glide through the dens forest a if it were jmpolled onward, yet hesitated to leave the refreshing shade. This alter nation seemed to alToct tlie very settle ment along its bunks, and between the attractive little farms the virgin woods at mid tall and thick as Hercyniun forest. After a drive of about ten miles we came to the little villago. Mist, which is situated on tha north side of the river in a very fertile, productive, and pros perous valley. About seven miles below Mist we enme to the Fishhawk. one of the prettieHt trout streams in the state.' stakes of the pending railroad surveys are thick all along the route down the river, and ,tlie early settlers dream ol thrift and activity, where now are only hardinexs, health and Independ ence. But 1 would not leave the im pression that lliene people are not com- oriuiiiy nxeu. Most oi tnem nave good homes, large barns, good stock and an abundance of fruit, vegetables, bay and grain. A two day's stay on the fislinawk needs no description. If camping can be made attractive anywhere it can thern. Add to the attractions already mentioned wilder scenery and larger game, and larger HkIi and more of them, and one can lorni an idea ot tins region. 11. Uiul.l.

'i.,. !.,..,; .,,! niui.. i,i u.inln. and from there, the next day, by Uohle and leiT Island to St. Helena. We found the road from Claukame to Rain' ier but little used, except in places con venient for hauling shingles and wood to market ; and Die road from Rainier to lioble near I v entirely unused and im passable. To tlie casuul observer there soms no reason why the latter route should not have been up Fcx creek and over to and down Ooble creek, in stead of tlie impracticable course over the Hills and ridges wnore now locaiea. We presume tlie only excuse is some pre-exisnng eix trail. , All of the roads would be greatly iro proved by removal of the timber left standing In the right of way, which shuts out drying winds and sun and is an element of danger to travelera. We were somewhat incommoded on several occasions by dead timber, recently fallen across the road. We account for the un usual amount of it only on the theory that extra dry weather bad given the borer an extra opportunity. There wa a general complaint of unusually dry weather, which seems to be a result of prevailing winds and lack of dew, rattier than hick of lato rains, but there wa no apparent damage to fruit or crops, and tlie observation of my trip only confirm my belief that Columbia countv cannot be excelled in fertility. Thia ta made evident wherever there ia a clearing and cultivation. With proper cultivation Columbia county could sup port a population of 60,000, though one who onlv sees the hills fronting on the Columbia would never think It. vve crossed innumerauie iitue on aifordinir attractive romping places, and found ai Id feed in abundance, but the rna.lv k I n.

The commercial wnrth nf the timlier lands here has never been overestimated, and the claim ot the moat sanguine were founded on fact, and the statement i.. , In hv the xealoua advocates of the county's future were not overdrawn, as recent occurrence demonstrate. Deeds were filed with the county clerk this week conveving title to lands in tne vi niniiv nl (Johle at a much higher price than any yet paid for Columbia county timber lands. Fred Henderson, whose Kill anrna laid some distance back of ii,,l.la anhl Hid tract this week for (3800, n.l I,.,., Knnnedv sold the timber on 100 acre for (4000. The purchaser is a r-lilenmi irentleman. who acea far into the future and is willing to pay what timber is worth. Those transactions seem to mean, too, that operations on the Ooble logging road are not long to nitml. The onoortiinities for making money are too plentiful and too certain to admit of a protracted tie-up of that enterprise. Columbia county is all right, aa wa have always maintained1, and the future promises a great ucm.

We do not think it right that anyone should monopolize these streams for the purpose of taxing all the timber tributary to them. As people along these streams have right which cannot be ignored, it is only a matter ot time before the situation will become inter esting. It is an attair ol no Bmaii mag nitude to secure rights ot way trom peo nle along one of the stream in Tilla mook county, and when it comes to six teen of them there are going to be some tall protest and hot litigation before people will allow their rights to be taken from mem.-AiuamooK rieauugut.

A dairying is and alwav will be the principal industry in Tillamook county, would it not be a good idea to give the rising generation some practical and scientific instruction in our public schools7 We are constantly reading that a farmer, to be successful, must apply science to hi vocation. No one can dlnpnte this, and it appear! to us that if this scientific instruction could be imiiretieed noon tiie minds of boys in rural districts it would have a tendency to make them more interested in farm ing and less inclined to migrate to the large cities. We think a county like Tillamook should have some plan to teach the bovs scientific dairying, for thi is an industry peculiar to this sec tion of the country. If it cannot be ob tained in any other way, why not teach tne rudiment oi practical ana ecieuuuc dairying in the public high school? we nope our peuagogue inenas win 1101 think that we want to multiply their duties and responsibilities, but we think that they and others will see tne logic in employing an instructor especially for that work, the outcome of which would be young men going into dairying with practical and scientific ideas in stilled in them, which probably very few of the dairymen in Tillamook county bad an opportunity ol acquiring oeiore they engaged in the industry, Tilla mook Headlight.
