Nearly 3.000 Acres In Ressrvstlon
Taken By Investment Co.
Portland Interest in the dairy coun
try south of Tillamook baa been In
creaaed by tha announcement that near
ly 2,000 acres of rolling la.id In tbe
northern part of tha Bllets reaervation
baa been gotten by a Portland company
for subdivision Into small tract.
Tha Oeeanside Investment company
has acquired this property, 26 miles
south of Tillamook.
The land waa allotted to the Bllets
Indian 20 years ago, which eeeounte
for IU lack of cultivation ana improve
ment. The time having expired, tbe
Indiana are at liberty todiipoaeof
their holdings, a large part of which
baa been secured by the Oeeanside In
vestment company. It la aaid to bs
in axcetlent condition for dairying purposes.
Cranberries seem to do indigenous
to that portion of the eoaat, owing to
tha accumulation for centuries oi pea.
Certain requirements for the highest
cultivation of crsnberies will bava to
be met and for this purpose, tbe Ocean
aide Investment company Intends to at
tend to tha preparation of tba Dog un
der expert advice. Other companies
have iu reeded In developing cranoerry
tract noeaeealna? tb condition found
In that section.
For dairying, no location In tbe
United Statee compares with the Ore
gon eoaat, all tha way from Astoria to
Newport- Tbe rolling enaracier or
tbs land north of tha SileU river, the
enormous acreage available, tba per-
netusl errowlh of Brass and tbe favor-
stile climate unite in making tba un
durtaklnir of the new company seem-
intnv a commendable one.
One of the features of the property
is Oeeanside lake, a body of fresh wa

Union and Cove, ana union ana am
Lake, and already having rtghta of way
for tha major portion of tbe distance
to Elgin, by the Uregoo Kauroaa s
Navigation company, is freely ru
mored throughout Union. It ia
thought the purchase is tbe first atop
towarda acquiring an easy grade from
Hot Lake to J'yle canyon, oeyona
Union, where an easy grade can ba se
cured in lieu of tbe steep Telocasset
hill. The purchase ia in line with the
former announced policies of ths O. R.

up Te locaeeet hill.

tba independent road meana that the
