PACIFIC COUNTY NOTES.
Pacific county, W. 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.
