In a former article in Tlic Pacific
Farmer, reference was made to the tide
lands in this county. Tho portion of
those reclaimed by diking lie along
Young s bay, from i ort btevens along
Young's bay adjacent to the Clatsop
Plains country ; along Lewis and Clarke,
Young's river, Walluskl, John Day's
and tributaries, and at Westport and
vicinity. The largest two bodies of re
claimed land lie on the west side of
Young's bay, to the right and lelt of
Skipanon creek. Theamountreclaimed
in the county is in the aggregate about
5000 acres, nearly one-fourth of this
amount already having been put into
cultivation in tame grasses, for meadow
and pasture, and a small part devoted to
grain raising and vegetables. D. K".
Warren owns 650 acres of this reclaimed
land, 300 acres of it diked in 1879, and
the remainder enclosed last year, the
old dike enclosing the first piece being
2K miles in length, with 10 foot base, 0
feet hich" and 4 feet wide at the top.
The soil in these tide lands is of two
kinds: First, peaty-like deposits; sec
ond, clay land wltn intermixture ot snt,
being sedimentary in character, largely
from the waters of the Columbia river.
different from the bottom soils further
ud the river. To the sediment from the
river direct is added that from flow of
tides and wash down from the local
streams and rivers: Soil deposits from
the flow of tides are ot very slow in
crease. There are indisputable evi
dences that an old forest of spruce ages
ago grew where. this tide land now is,
along the west side of Young's bay, the
natural surface of the ground in this
forest latterly being about four feet be
low the present level, havingbeen much
higher during the growth of these trees,
then atterwaru sunKinrougn some con
vulsion of nature. The present growth
of timber on the ground adjacent to the
tide land and a few feet above it con
sists mostly of spruce and hemlock
but little fir. There is also some alder,
crabannle. and Oregon willow. Refer
ring again to the size and strength of
the dikes necessary to keep the tide land
reclaimed, tho dimensions above given
have been found sufficient; but for
greater security the embankments are
now made larger, usually 12 to 1C feet
wide at base, 5 to C feet in iieight and U
feet across the top, especially where ex
posed to the heavier wash and tides
along uays ana mam channels, in tne
course of construction the greatest dim
culty met with is in filling up the tide
creeks and sloughs a sufficient distance
to support the dike proper and to with
stand the immense pressure from in
coming tides. In building a dike 214
rods long, extending from Tanzy point,
on uapt. .navers place, to connection
with his old dike. Mr. Warren had to
fill a deep tide creek 180 feet wide for
about so leet lor a uikc tounaation
strong enough to withstand the tide.
The sluice boxes in this dike are built
5x8 feet of heavy fir planks extending
along side tho dam, the sluice gates be
ing placed on the outer ends of the
sluice-ways, hung at an angle, so that
as the tide rises the weight of the rising
tide holds it tightly closed, preventing
the inward flow of water, but permit
ting an outward flow on the falling of
tne uae. in aiKing across a wme uue
slough it is usually found best not to
build the sluiceway through tho dam,
but outside it in the firmer tide land.
Especially is this the case where quick-
sana is iounu mine cuannei; otnerwise
the least forcing and trickling of water
beneath will be liable to permit en
largement ot opening, ana in tne enu to
carry away the dike and dam. The
sluiceways arc usually put in deep
enough to drain land enclosed to low
tide. The best material for dikes and
dams is the tide land soil of clayey
character. It is tough and consistent,
packing well together while moist. In
building dams a generous supply of
spruce brush is put in in layers, holding
the earth well together against the wasli
of tides during construction. The dike
completed by several interested parties
last year, on the right bank of the Skip
anon and extending along Young's bay
to the mouth and a short distance up the
Lewis and Clarke river, is about six
miles In length and encloses about 2000
acres of tide land. Of this amount John
and Samuel Adair own about 800 acres,
D.K. Warren 270 acres, P. C. Warren
J20 acies, .). C. Trullinger .150 acres,
Angus Sutherland 250 acres, and Mr.
ilill 50 acres. The cost of the dike
amounted to about $1000 per mile, or
$C00Oinall; and filling the tide sloughs
and necessary repairs and strengthen
ing cost much more than that sum ad
ditional. On the Adair claim the cost
of filling a tide slough and repair of
breakage and strengthening properly
amounted to about 3000.
Adjoining D. K. Warren's tide land at
Tanzy point, Capt Flavel owns about
S00 acres of fine reclaimed tide land.
He owns over 3000 acres of upland with
The productiveness of these reclaimed
lands when put into proper cultivation
is something wonderful, producing
heavy crops of hay, grain and vegeta
bles. Mr. 1). K. Warren has 1G3 acres
in meadow, and he says he has cut at
least six tons of cured hay to the acre on
portions of it, the usual average being
irom three to live tons per acre. He has
raised wheat and oats with very large
yield, but the soil is too rich, causing
the grain to grow too rank, being alto
gether better adapted to pasture and
meadow and vegetables. Thirty to
forty tons of rutabagas is the usual
yield per acre. The pastures and mead
ows on these reclaimed lands are es
pecially wpll suited for dairy and other
stock. After the pastures on these
lauds are well set in tame grasses and
have become firm and dry enough,
horses thrive here wonderfully. We
noticed several fine ones at Mr. War-
rens rolling fat, one a four-year-old
grade Hainbletonian by Josiali West's
pure-bred Hambletonian; also, a fine
i'our-y ear-old Clyde-Morgan mare, three
CJyde-Gwrge mares, It we understood
properly, and a thoroughbred Morgan
mare of good action.
Again, these tide lands which are the
iiighest are well adapted to the growth
of small fruits and berries, as we noticed
n Mr. Matier's garden at Skipanon.
in a future article we intend to give a
auuci iujcuuiibui. uiis iiuraery miu gar
den. On many of these farms there is more
or less reclaimed tide land. O. N. Hess
has 150 acres of diked land, reclaimed in
1885. a good part of the same being now
set in tame grasses. There are 40 dairy
cows on the place, but it will support
many more. Mr. lless is building a
well-arranged dairy barn. 82x102 feet.
To construct the mam building and shed
will require about 70,000 feet.
J. F. Nowlen's place ot 400 acres, most
of it tide land, supporting a choice dairy
of 33 cows and a lot of other stock, Is
on Xowlen's slough, very well situated,
with a well-arranged dairy and stock
bam, and with a wharf built right in
Jxont next to the slough. Mr, Nowlen
manufactures a fine quality of home
made cheese. Mr. Nowlen showed us a
finepair of Cheshire pigs obtained from
an English vessel in the Astoria port.
Seventy acres of tide land on A. H.
Sales' place, reclaimed in 1884, show a
wonderful change from tido grass and
brush to firm ground, with the larger
part of it now set with a heavy growth
of tame grasses. This small nlace
easily supports. 19 or20 cows, and a num
ber of other stock. Mr. Sales is grading
up his dairy herd, using 'for a male a
cross uciween pure-Drea uurnam ana
Jersey, showing a marked Improvement
within three or four rears.
J. A. Rowan owns a small but choice
dairy herd on the Astoria side of the
bay. In it are some excellent milch
cows, one a grade Jersey from John
Docker's Cathlamet herd and another a
nne large grade Holsteln from J. B.
&.napp's union Ridge herd, which gave
fully five gallons a day each in June.
Another, from Carnahan's Clatsop herd.
now u montns in milk, gives six quarts
uauy. a inree-quaner graue jersey
y-jars old, from the Jersey herd of
Lindsay Brds., Union Ridge, and calv
ing at 22 months old, elves two gallons
of milk dally. Mr. Rowan is striving
to secure a first-class dairy herd, and is
determined to have onlvthe best ani
mals. Last,, fall he nurehased from D.
H. Looney's Jersey herd, the bull Ros
coe Coukling"354 (P. C. J. C. H. R).
sired by Jersey 176, of C. B. Polhemus'
sail jose nera. itoscoe ConKiing was
dropped August 12, 1885, by Annie
Looney 3d. A o. 3T4. from" a fine lmwirted
cow belonging to the famous Millard
head, of Marin county. California. Mrs.
Rowan still Likes mule In hpr nmiltrv.
but is not raising as many Greeds as
formerly, believing that fewer kinds
will pay better. The Wyandottes, Buff
uocnins, ana w.r. is. Spanish are ner
favorites, the Wyandottes especially,
being excellent foragers, good, layers,
ana goou xorane tame.
At the mouth ot theWalluski, J. G.
Nurnberg and A. Bartoldus, and on
Young's river Henderson Brothers,
Capt. L. G. Haaven and others have
tide land that has been reclaimed "for
several years, and proven many times
as profitable as when in wild marsh
grass.
Mr. Dement's farm, consisting of sev
eral hundred acres of fine upland and
tide land, is on the Lewis and Clarke
river, two or three miles above its
mouth. One of the first dikes built in
this settlement was made on this farm,
65 acres being enclosed in one body.
The closing of the tide sloughs and put
ting in sluiceways will enclose aDout
300 acres more of choice tide land.
This farm supports 123 head of cattle, of
winch 33 are aairy cows, some ot mem
being pure-bred Durham, one or more
from the herd of McEldownev & Haw
thorne, Hillsboro. There are some very
fine animals among these pure-breads,
and Mr. Dement intends showing them
at the next fat stock, show in Portland.
J. W. Reith, under whose efficient man
agement the place is made to prosper,
we learn nas just purchased a portion
of this fine farm.
W. J. Incralls. whose farm adioins the
place just described, has a fine body of
nearly 100 acres of tide land, most of it
under cultivation in meadow and tamo
grasses.
A county road is being viewed out to
extend down Lewis and Clarke river
from Mr. Ingalls' place to Mr. Jcffers',
at the mouth of the river, the object be
ing to connect with the Adair f erry. now
running from a point near the site of
what was once known as Fort Clatsop,
ana thence across ioung's Day to tne
Astoria side.
A. E. Turlay, J. Gibson, W. W. True,
i. a. iiecKam, u. n. uecKara ana u. r.
Brower have each small bodies of re
claimed land, the value of which has in
creased tenfold in value on account of
the reclamation, enabling them to keep
more dairy and other stock, to conse
quent increase in profit.
C. F. Harder owns upward of 400 acres
at theiheadtof tidewater on this river,
about 100 acres being rich alluvial bot
tom land, yielding immense crops of
hay and grass, timothy and clover. Of
the 24 head of dairy cows kept on the
farm, several are grade Jerseys.
E. Libke, living on the farm just be
low Mr. Harrier's, with bottom land
equally -rich, expects to cut 100 tons of
timothy and clover hay from 30 acres of
meadow.
D. J. Ingalls, who occasionally gives
the results of his experience in the col
umns of T7ic Pacific Farmer, owns a
small dairy, but one of the best paying
ones, for size, in the State. Mr. ingalls
says that during May and June he
marketed CC two-pound rolls of butter
each week, the product of 11 or 13 cows,
two being mere strippers, not furnish
ing enough milk and butter for family
use not counted. Mr. 'Ingalls has in
vented a cheap and novel churning ap-
Earatus, a descriptive cut of which we
ope in the future to be able to present
to our readers. Mr. Ingalls believes in
a cross of Jerseys with other stock of
good milk strain, for butter and milk
production. He says one of his cows of
this grade gave during the month of
June 57 pounds of milk daily by actual
weight, while another, a three-year-old,
gave 42 pouuds daily. With this herd
is a four-year-old pure-bred Jersey bull,
sired by the Jerseybull Mt Hood, dam
a fine Jersey cow owned by Capt.Flavel.
A.Anderson and Wm. Kartell have
excellent dairies of 18 cows each . With
Anderson's herd is aerade Holstein bull
from Mr. West's herd. With Mr. Kar
tell's herd is a high grade Jersey bull.
This herd is being carefully graded up,
for the best possible results.
Neils Nelson, proprietor of a choice
bottom farm, has a small but excellent
dairy. Here the pdtato blight is very
bad, and a light crop will be the result.
The blight has as yet made its appear
ance in only a few potato fields, in
nearly all ,of 'them the vines showing
bright and green. Potato plants, as. far
as we have noticed, are 'much more
liable to be affected with blfght In low,
damp ground than in higher and lighter
soils well drained naturally. Ground
where blight has once mado Its' appear
ance should not be cultivated in pota
toes again for several seasons. All po
tato tops that have been blighted should
be carefully raked together when dry
and burned, so as to lessen the spread of
blight germs.
The only colonies of bees we noticed
on Lewis and Clarke were at Mr. True's
and at Mr. Hcckard's. under whose hos
pitable roof we slept one night. A sam
ple of vine maple honey shown by Mr.
True had .very nearly the color and
much the taste of fresh genuine maple
syrup, such as our grandfathers and
grandmothers used to make to our
mind the highest and purest standard of
sweetness. Had Samson knotvn this
sweet the Philllstine would have tried
to solve a different riddle.
Mr. Turlay, who is engaged in logging
says the damp, rainy weather, continu
ing nearly to the middle ot July, has
very noticeably interfered with logging
operations on the Lewis .and Clarke.
Besides Mr. Turlay's there are at pres
ent two other camps on the river Aber
crombrle's, on the Adair slough, and
Harrison & Watson's, on the right bank
and near, the mouth of the river.
Spruce for boxing and fir are the two
principal kinds of timber logged on this
stream. The Lewis and Clarlie Lumber
and Manufacturing company'.now own
ing the Saukett .sawmill property, situ
ated on the timber -divide between. Clat
sop plains and the Lewis and Clarke
river, are constructing a tramway from
the mill to tidewater ou the river. Two
and a quarter miles, or about one-half ot
the tramway, has been built, and when
completed will furnish easy means of
taking lumber to boat for transportation
to Astoria.
T. Colebourn owns a part ot the W.
H. Gray donation claim, formerly the
site of the Methodist mission to the
Clatsons. and established on Clatsop
Plains in 1840. Part of the cedar lum
ber formerly in the mission buildings Is
now in tha farm-house occupied by Mr.
Colebourne. W . W. itaymona, mission
ary farmer to the Clatsops, and who
came to the Plains In 1840, is still living
there.
Niacoxio or Neahcoxle creek, which
heads near Seaside and runs west of
north, then makes an abrupt turn on It
self on Mr. Colebourn'? place, ten or
twelve miles from Its source, and takes
a backward course in the direction of
its head, a narrow sand ridge or levee
between the upper and lower parts,
emptying Into, the Nekanlkum the
stream running Its course of about 20
miles, its head and mouth lying only a
few stones' throw apart.
Mr. Colebourn formerly lived in Doug
las county, is quite a naturalist, and has
a small but fine collection of mounted
birds and animals. A deer head,
mounted and ornamenting the walls of
his parlor', Is one of the finest specimens
we have ever seen. Among his collec
tion "ot birds we notice them in all sizes
and kinds, from the downy swan to the
diminutive humming bird on Its nest,
as natural as life. An Arctic owl, a
wonderfully fine specimen, was cap
tured on the Plains. Occasionally dur
ing a very severe winter in the far north
these owls come as far south as Oregon.
Them is also a threat horned owl. com
mon to tins country, several Kinas ot
ducks, divers, etc. Mr. Colebourn own?
a very pretty place, reacning oacK to
the ocean beach.
James Kindred, whose land is next to
Capt Flavel's, and J. Thomas, near
Skipanon, have small but good dairies.
Capt Flavel, owning about 2000 acres
of tide and upland, extending from
Tanzy Point about two miles across to
Clatsop beach, keeps several hundred
head of stock, mostly cattle. He has
two herds, one of Holsteins, the other
of pure-bred Jerseys, taking much pride
in them.
Capt Flavel has just built a fine sub
stantial barn, the main part 50x100 feet.
to accommodate hi? fine stock. He
owns Tillie W. and a fine three-year-old
Altamont colt, foaled by this fine mare.
Until a few months ago the Flavel farm
was under the efficient management of
J. R. Stanley, of Seaside, G. W. Gray
son, his present successor, seems no less
careful and efficient.
The many fine lakes in the Plains
country, on account of their sedgy char
acter are especially wen auaptea to
carp raising. James Condit, of West
Chehalem valley, who has been stop
ping for some time at the Point, says
one of the lakes on the Flavel farm is
well stocked with can), many of them
very large, raised from a few carp put
into tneiaice several years ago. uapt.
Flavel says they are the best fish he has
vet tried, and that is saving much.
Last year Capt. Flavel expended sev
eral tnousana aonars in Duuaing a
strong and substantial wharf at Tanzy
Point, making It an excellent landing
place, the consequence being that a
large part of the summer travel to Sea
side is in tnis direction, stages always
being in waiting for visitors to that fine
resort
Mr. P. C. YVJarren is having a large
hay and stock barn built on his tide
land farm near the mouth of the Skipa
non. The building is being put up by
Henry Uraiier and will, when com
pleted, be 90x54 feet, with sheds 12 feet
wide and 18 feet high extending along
two sides and one end, making 2J4 feet
of shedding. The upper ten feet of the
sheds will oe used as mows for storing
hay. The main barn will be fitted up
with a hay carrier arranged to travel
from one end of the building to the
other under center of the comb, which
will be 40 feet from the ground. This
will be one of the best arranged stock
barns in the country, the stalls for the
stock being placed in the extensive
sheds. Mr. Bralier also built D. K.
Warren's barn, probably the largest In
Oregon. The dimensions of this hay
and stock barn are 188 feet long, 88 feet
wide, CO feet to comb of roof, the stories
being three in number. The corner
Eosts of the main building are 36 feet in
eight; shed posts 22 feet high. The
basement story, except a space 30x56
feet for the storage of roots, and also
the sides of the second story are fitted
up to accommodate nearly 200 head of
cattle for stall feeding, about that num
ber fattened here every winter for the
Astoria market. The available floor
space between the rows of stalls on the
second floor is 24x144 feet. The floor
space in the third story is 24X163 feet,
and the end of the barn being built
against a high sand ridge, a team can be
drivan directly into thiastary.
In stall feeding his cattle Mr. Warren
gives them a dally ration of 30 to 40
pounds of rutabagas to each steer, with
all the hay he can eat, the ration being
divided and fed twice a day. Sometimes
to vary the feed a little chop Is given
them, and in that case the ration of ru
tabagas may be lessened ten or twelve
pounds. Paff.
Is Consumption Incurable?

Newark, Ark, says: "Was down with
Abscess of Lungs, and friends and phy
sicians pronounced me an Incurable
Consumptive. Began taking Dr. King's
New Discovery for Consumption, am
