T.. was organ ized bv the Oregon legislature in 185L Fcrasliort time tlie countv Qf&t Tvas located at Chinook, n small Itt'ian Tillage on the north side of buoalwater bay. It was thence re moved to Oystcrville where it has since remained. Oysterville contains a population of about 100 people, and i3 beautifully situated on the bay side and fiTG:iniles south of the north point of the peninsula lying between Shoalwater bay anc the ocean. The Pacijfo Journal, edited and publish ed by AIL D. Bowen, is the only pa per published in the county. Besides the county seat there are several other villages in the county, viz: Tl waco, on Baker's bay; Bay Center, on a small peninsula jutting into Shoal water bay from the south; Chinook, on the north end and Bruceport on the east side of the bay; South Bend and Willapah on the "WillapaTi river. The, principal rivers are the Chinook, flowing into Baker's bay; the Nasel, the "Willapab and tho North, empty ing into Shoalwater bay from the east and north. The Nasel is thirty miles or more in length with settle ments here and there along its course. Fanning is engaged in to some ex tent, but the principal business is logging. The principal fanning districts in the county lie along the Willapah and its tributaries. Tide-water ex tends seventeen miles up the Willa pab from the bay. The stream is navigable for steamboats about fif teen miles, and is settled up that much, further. Tho richest soil is found in the bottom and tide-lands of varying widtlis from a few rods in some places to nearly a mile or more in others. Along the upper courses of the river and its tributaries are some fine timber lands, but hero as elsewhere on the coast, the choicest and most convenient for handling is taken or bought up. Tho same may be said of the farming lands. No in considerable number of the present and former members of tho German colony at Aurora, Oregon, were at one time settlers in the Willapah val ley. Indeed it seems that this valley was the chosen location of the colony, but the difficulties of communication with the more settled portions of the coast, and distance from markets, and other causes led to the abandon ment of the settlement by most of the members, and to the building up of the Aurora settlement. Among "the few members of this colony now remaining in the valley is Mr. Giesy, owner of a fine farm near the head of tide water. Farming is being car ried on to a considerable extent. TVhcat and oats do well, but not much wheat is raised as it seems there is no regular grist mill in tho valley, or for that matter in the county, i, Orchard and small fruits and vege tables do well. In some localities ap ple trees seem to thrivo greatly. On W. D. Paulding's place is shown a single graft of sweet pearmain now in its fifth season growing on a small seedling stock. The graft is now grown into a tree more than twelve feet tall, with a beautiful symmetrical top. It bore well the third year and this season produced nearly two bushels of fine fruit. Tho bottom and tide lands produce tamo and wild hay, excellent in quality and quan tity. J. BT. Ward gave 120 tons as the yield of timothy hay cut this sea son from forty acres on the Tom Boney farm." Although, all the choice tide land on the bay and its tributary streams has been taken for some time, not mucb of it bas yet been re claimed by diking. Six years ago G. W. Wilson, an old settler, living op posite Bay Centre, constructed a dike 400 feet long, extending across a small tide land creek near its mouth and touching high land on both sides of the branching stream, flowing through 150 acres of tide land, the amount re claimed, and whicb affords pasturage of wild and tame grasses sufficient for a large number of cattle. The dike referred to was built witb a base of 15 feet, height 6 f et, width at top 3 feet, besides two sloughs, one 100 feet and one 60 feet wide and 6 feet deep filled level with top of the tide land for base of the dike proper. One sluice box or tideway about two feet in diameter under the dike, and hav ing a gate at the lower or outer end, is found sufficient to permit the es cape of all the water from the land drained. In years gone by OYSTEBIKQ On Shoalwater bay has been a source of muoh profit. More than twenty five years ago the business had devel oped to a large extent, as many as a hundred thousand baskets having been gathered in a single season. After several years of picking the beds became partially depleted and the shipments of bivalves grew small er. Several years ago the oysters be came poor and thin and immense quantities of them perished. No definite cause is known to account for this, but the oyster is on the ascendancy again, and is increasing in numbers and plumpness, even if he is so much smaller than his east ern brother. When the oyster trade of tho bay was in its most flourishing condition the Crellin Bros., then lo cated at Oysterville, but lately at San Francisco, did a large business in that line. At present L A. Clark and K. H. Espey make shipments from Oysterville, but Bay Center is now tho principal place for the ovster trade, the greater part of the popula tion there being engaged in tho busi ness. A. S. Bush and luBLBhodes ship from this point to the Portland market The Bay Center Oyster Co., G. W. Wilson, resident manager, shipsv to San Francisco, Mr. Bush estimates the present season's pick ing to aggregate 30,000 basketsful or 22,500 bushels. He also states there are now about ten square miles of riatuial oyster beds located principal ly in the different channels of tho bay. The spawning or "dead" season for oysters begins the middle of June and lasts till the first of September, during which time no one is allowed to crather or in anv rnv infocram with the bivalves in their natural grounds. At other-times any one is allowed to gather them in these places. At low tide many thousands of acres are left bare by the receding waters. It is found that on much I of this ground the young oysters transplanted from their natural beds ' will grow and do well, and since this is so, the best portions of the tide flats have been staked off and1 claimed by different persons, and ovs ters cultivated thereon. In fact near-' ly all the oysters sent to market are picked from the cultivated beds. From these beds the parties claiming them arepermittted to collect oysters at any lime of the year. The oysters transplanted and growing on the ar tificial or cultivated beds, are said to spawn during the proper time of tho season, but the spawn does not fer tilize and produce oysters, so that as these beds become thinned out it be comes (necessary to "fish" for young oystera in the channels and "run" them to the cultivated beds. In "fish ing'' for the young oysters one does not use a fishhook and line, of course not, but employs a very toothy pair of tong3 with long straddles or han dles. A pair of oyster tongs look very much like two rakes with stout heads, teeth sloping outward, handles slightly curved toward the lower end, fastened and working together on each other like the parts of a pair of shears or pincers. The handles on different tongs vary in length, from 7 to 22 feet, according to the depth of water over the bed to be tonged. Ev erything being in readiness for this purpose tho operatoiB anchor their batteau over the spot where tho festive oyster doth congregate aid the work of catching him commences. The tongs are lowered into tho water, the two parts of the handle being retained'bnt allowed to slip through the hands until the head of the implement touches bottom, when it is closed and elevated verti cally, and whatever is taken, oysters, big and little, empty shells and other rubbish, aro emptied in tho balteau. In this way one or two hands will tong up several score basketfuls of oysters daily. But thelargo part of them usually prove to be quite small and young, so the old ones aro culled out for marketing, while tho young ones, according to tho regulations, be returned to the natural beds or 'run" to the cultivated grounds. If put on the latter they are allowed to grow two to four yearsand are then "picked" for the market. E. O. Eced of Bay Center, owns several beds of oysters. Five years ago 20,000 basketfuls of young oysters had then been rect tly "run" on to his grounds at gre-- expense, when all at once the oyster became affected and as he estimates, 90 to 95 per cent of the plant perishetLt Within tho last two years tho oysters havo been improving, and for a year or more past have been thriving and rapidly increasing in numbar,and are now considered, oa pouniliahdj healty as ever they were. The IiUlIDEB BUSINESS In tho county is not very extensively carried on. There are two sawmills on or near tho bay. The South Bend Mill company, John Wood, manager, are running a mill of 50,000 feet daily capacity at South Bend. Mr. Wood estimates that the company have cut five to Fix million feet of logs so far this season. In addition there were about five million feet of logs cut last season that did not reach the boom, but are scattered along the drifts nud bars of the logging streams. Tho present population of tho county is about 2,000. F. C. Davis, treasurer, states that the tax levy for lSSi is seventeen mills on the dollar, and that the county is out of debt, and has $3,000 including the school and county funds in the treasury. The family house boats, which aro one of the most curious phases of domestic life m China, are described by an English resident of that coun try as practically proving the old t uism tnat man "wants but little here balow," for tho "little" which forms the clean and happy home of three generations is a boat about the size of two four-post beds set end to end, and covered in at night by a series of telescopic sliding roof of bamboo matting. Here man and wife, graud parents and little children cook, sleep and worship; for, na matter how small tho place, the family altar occupies the place of honor.
