Salmon river, or buy cute the ocean near the '
northern boundary of the county. Along this
stream are tine tide lands ami rich bottom
lands, poon to be opened to settlement,
Seven mill's south of Salmon river the Piletz
river, or bay empties its sparkllnjf waters into
the old Paeilie Oeren. Thl stream drains a
larcevoopeofoountryandailV.nl'; the largest
volume oi f.e-h water oi any river in me conn,

said that it. ore .-almon enter i: than bolh Ihe

river heads in and near the snn,i.,il of the Coast
ranire of nionntains in l'olk nullity and runs
nearly all the way through the rich valley m"

ue thrown open to settlement.
Twentj- miles south of the Sllctz Itny the now
fainous YaiUlna Hay niitiRl-'s her eoni'nerre

acres of which aro bain.r. dyko l, reclaimed and
cultivated, and when once cultivated aro said
to be tho riehest lands in the v.'orl.l, the soil in
many places being tixty feet deep. The lands
are admirably adapted to raising a'.l kinds of
beets, roots, n anijel wurzels, etc., and particu
larly to the culture of augur host. The anal
ysis of beets raised on tho tide-land near Tole
do showed Hi per cent of sa'-eharino matter, lio

up the Yaquina river and alon t e line or the

bottom lands fruit of all kin s do remarkably
well. Several hop yards hnva been planted
on these "cottom lands and tho res'ilt has been
very satb factory. Hop culture p'o-nises to'e
one of tho prosperous and proiitable industries
of the county at an early date. At Nashville,
near the east lino of the county, urn largn or
chards of prunes, apples and pi-am, showing
that fruit will do well even so near the summit
of the Coast range.
Kighteen miles below Yaiulna Pay the Als. a
river and Hay empties into the Pacific ocean.
The liny is of a considerable size, and the en
trance is deep cnnuih to tcrniit coasting ves-
fcIs to enter and carry aw ay the product of tho I
fertile valley of the Alea river. Tho country
contiguous to the Alsea river resembles that of
tho Yaquina very much. It is settled with in
dustrious and thrifty people, and promises to
develop rapidly its latent resources,
The Dairying liirtlHtrjr.
Lincoln cuunty is admirably adapteil for
dairying. With our mild climate, w here snow
never lies on the ground to exceed one day,
cool nights and abundance of puro spring wa
ter, it is an Ideal dulrt liiK Country. The cli
mate is such thr.t prays nevir dries up but re
mains green during tho entire year, thus af
fording annual grazing and reducing the cost
of feeding to a minimum, clover is naturally
adapted to this country, growing on the high
est hills or tho lowest bottoms, wherever the
seed is.Bcattered. rre iucutly our farmers cut
two crops of clover from their meadows in one
year, and have been known to cut three. Hlloa
can be built and three crops can be obtain
ed annually for ensilage. Steps have been tak
en to establish a creamery plant at Toledo, and
there is but little doubt but that a creamery
will be in successful operation here at an early
date. With the creamery business once estab
lished at some place within the county, the in
dustry will rapidly develop, it is admitted In
all markets that butter and cheese produced
from the milk of cows that graze upon the suc
culent grasses cf our country excels that of any
other region. Tho day Is not far distant when
the dairying resources of our surrounding
country will be a source of largo annual income
to our people.

The Oregon Pacille ltalkoad which has its ter

road makes connection with cn eastern road

up the great wool and wheat bells, of eastern
Oregon, Yaquina Hay will then become a for
midable rival of other ports on the I'acl tic coast
of known fame.
Lincoln County offers better Inducements
than any other county In Oregon for capital.
Lincoln County oilers good Inducements fur

Lincoln County has many undeveloped re

Lincoln County wants business men, working

Sho came, but hero fortune diverted the
tailor. His intended britlo iu her turn
obtained tho patronage of royalty, with
tho result that sho eventually "beoame
one of tho 800 wives of Abdurraham.
This, howover, is only tho first not of
the tragedy. It is rmtlertsood that, by
tho laws of Afghanistan, when the

The Mystery of Ambergris.
Ambergris is an odoriferous, fatty
substance ofton fouud floating upou the
Btirfaco of tho ocean or upou shore,
whero it lias been cast by tbo waves. It
is known to bo a morbid sccrutiou of
whalos, but whother it is fouud iu
thoir bodies irrespective of species or
ago or whether iu the stomach or intes
tines is not certainly known. Tho best
authorities aro of the opinion that it is
formed only iu tho intestinal canal of
tho sperm whale (Physoter uiacrocepha
lus). Lumps of this curious substauco range
in weight flora ouo-half ouuco to 100
pounds and upward, tho largest lump
knowu to history weighing lb3 pounds,
aud was sold by a potty oriental mon
arch to tho Dutch East India company
over 100 years ago. The sonsou's tako of
Ambergris by American whalers seldom
averages 100 pounds for tho wholo fleet.
In 1803 it was '.ouly 87 pounds, and in
1880 but 73. Those figures will not seem
o small wheu it is known that tho 7i
pounds taken iu the year last named
had a market value of $21), 200. St.
