Dairying In Tillamook. The following taken irom the Northwest Pacific Farmer concern ing the dairy business in the Til lamook country applies so closely to the Yaquina and Alsea countries that we reproduce it: In climate and natural facilities tor carrying on the dairy industry Tillamook county cannot be beaten in the world. It is a natural white clover country, and we have from nine to ten months of green feed. The climate is cool; the ther mometer never registering more than 80 degrees in summer, and seldom as high as that; in winter it never gets colder than 10 degrees below freezing, The climate in summer is simply grand; there be ing very little fog not one fourth the fog there is on the coast of California anywhere within two hundred miles north or south of San Francisco. The writer of this having lived on California coast for seven or eight years knows whereof he speaks. The water here is pure and cold, contains no mineral substances, and is in abundance. There is very little snow in this region. Some times a foot of snow will fall and lie on the ground for a week, but we have an abundance of rain, about sixty inches being the annual rainfall, and that falls between the first of October and the last April. From that time through ti? sutnser, there arc !!K-U suoweib, enough to keep the grass green and growing all the time and keep the dust and forest fires down. A good . common milch cow, to dairy her here, through the natural pasturing season, will produce about two hun dred and fifty pounds of butter, and if properly fed n nd dairie i through the winter would produce four hundred and fifty pounds of fine gilt edge butter, and she would not nave to be fed over four months of the year. There are counties that dairy 011 grass and they are reconi mended as first-clas.i dairy counties too, but their whole green grass season is only from two to three months while we have eight months of the finest grass in the world . we nave 111 tins country open land enough, if put into grass, to support and dairy ten thousand cows. The yearly gross receipts would be about seventy dollars a cow which would be a low average pro ducing the neat little sum of seven hundred thousand dollars yearly in dairy products alone, and with the other produce raised with the resume, SKiiumeu milk, such as swine, chickens and calves, would send the products up to about eight hundred thousand golden dollars too, for golden butter is one of the luxuries of civilization of the high est order, and mav the curse of civilization rest on those who re place it with that piratical and most horrible compound of grease and filth that bears the name of oleo margarine, or "bull" butter, and who would try to ruin one of the finest industries of the civilized world, one more of the schemes of monopolist to control an industry that makes millions of the most progressive people of the world happy and produces four times more wealth than any other pro duction of America. While other farm productions have fallen in value, butter has in creased. Cheese and butter bring nearly or more than double the price they did forty years ago. The writer, while a boy, lived in one of the finest dairy regions la the United States, near the counties of Orange and Duchess, state of New York, nnd I know the best butter brought from only ten to twelve cents per pound, but now the finest brands of that butter never bring in the market less than twenty-five to fitty cents, and there is now for every pound of butter produced in those counties then, fifty produced now, and that one production makes these people the wealthiest ( inner of the Empire state. Good dairy lauds together with the fine cliuw.e and water we have, makes this tw. fect in every way for the dairy men . We are asked as to the market. The State of Oregon Imports every year from California and the East, hundreds of tons of butter and cheese, besides that odoriferous and ! Get t Inn Wanned T v. nv0lrmlr8a-ine- AS t0!

I lived in the county San Luis Obispo, California, when that was a full blown dairy country, and the only way we had of ship ping our produce was by boat, and only once a month at that. This town, Tillamook, while other towns of the interior are dead and at a standstill, is moving right along as if nothing is wrong. The sound of the hammer is heard everywhere, and the buildings grow by the dozen. We owe all this to our in dustrious dairymen and glorious climate. We do not know what hard times are. Our productions are as good a price as ever and we buy our neighbors productions for little or nothing. Senator Dawson's bill to fix the time when taxes shall become de linquent provides that the sheriff shall make returns of collections to the county court on or before the first Monday of October next ensn- f ing the date of warrant issued bv 4 I - that court, and if at least one-half of the respective sums of taxes so charged on said roll is not paid prior to the first Monday in April next succeeding the date of his warrant, said one-half shall be deemed delinquent, and if the re maining half is not: paid prior to the first Monday in October follow ing, it shall then also be deemed delinquent, and there shall be charged, collected and turned over by the sheriff a forfeiture of one per cent, per month on all portions of said taxes that have been allowed to become delinquent, from the date of such delinquency until the same are paid; and, provided, further, that the shtriff, before entering on the duties of collection of taxes, .1- i .... snau execute an addition bond in such sum as the county court of the county may direct. That U, taxes may be paid in two half-yearly in staliments. Much wonder has been expressed by many people at the report of Capt. 1. W. Symons, regarding Yaquina 15ay and its further im provemsm. inat Mr. Symons is hostile to the Bay is only too plain ly shown in his report, but nianv of our exchanges seem at a loss to account for his sudden change of mind regaiding the matter. There is nothing peculiar or mysterious about it. It will be rememl prpfl that for a great many years it was thought by many people that the railroad would never sell and would eventually cease to operate. Acting under this belief the interests that nb doubt influenced the adverse re port had no iear of any commerce coming to a deep harbor at Ya quina. But now a change comes over the spirit of their nrpatns The road has been sold and there are many good evidences that it will be extended to a transconti nental connection. 'Consequently the same interests spoken of above now seeks to prevent the further improvement of the harbor here. It is vital to those interests that no deep water harbor for transcon tinental line be built up on this coast. The railroad must fight for all the further improvements made at this place, and the interests it must fight are not so very reraotelv allied to the Southern Pacific rail way. The biggest span of horses sold in Coi -willis for a long time were purchased by a Seattle horse dealer tuo other day. The team was sold by Henry Dunn, and the two ani mals weighed i,;6o and 1,855 pounds respectively. The price is said to have beeu lewi than $200. Times. . . Senator Carter has secured the passage of a bill changing the time of holding the terms of district! court in this county. Hereafter the regular terms of court will be assistance. He is a remarkably ambitious man, with some native shrewdness. But it is a lamentable display of bad taste for one in his official position to make such a public profession of his zeal for a senatorial candidate towards whom the people, who elected him, have widely diverging opinions, to say' the least. This is not a clever way to secure advancements' on the bench. Mr. Hufford, before the election, announced himself in1 favor of reducing the salary of the1, county judge to six hundred dollars, Since then there has been a careful and studious silence on his part upon that subject. The people de mand that their representatives take action in the matter. . The Gazette has nothing against Mr. Hufford personally. It is a re publican paper, and as such, assist ed in the election of Mr. Hufford, who was on the republican ticket last spring. But he is a public of ficial and his official acts are subject to public criticism. He has no right to attempt to influence the legislators by means of the power which his judicial position might give him. A public office should not be a public "snap." A muchly transferred tin box used as a receptacle for county treasurer's records, was destroyed in the fire last Monday morning. It had passed through the hands of several county treasurers each time the consideration being five dollars. Wallace Baldwin transferred the box to Z. II. Davis, he to Fred Clark, Clark to Telt Burnett, and it vv-iTV(ita;ran 'fei red to Clark by r.-net t tinX-'.st of last July. For merly all the treasurer's books wete kept in this box until they be:ame too bulky to be kent in such a small compass, but there was nothing of value in the box when it was destroyed.

Cooper started out voting for Dolph for senator, and after staying by him a while he changed off to Geo. II. Williams. After voting for Williams a few times he again flopped over to Dolph. It would appear that Cooper had no mind of his own, but was a weak minded sort of a chap that had to be told to come in out of the rain. ---..
