XVIII, NO. 19 WESTERN OREGON asks FO SQUARE DEAL JUNE 3 Tillamook, Ore., May 15, 1910. Editor Springfield News. jl)oar Sir: , WUI you allow mo spaco In your valuable paper to say n few words In regard to tho reconstruction meas ures to bo voted upon In Juno from a coast county viewpoint? You aro well aware that western Oregon Is ono of the most productive !yot undeveloped sections of the state. Tho people In the coast counties have nover complained, but with true west. jern grit and determination they havo jliad to contend with ad verso clrcum j stances on account of lack of roads '-and bad transportation; consequently it Is not surprising that all the coast counties aro united and greatly inter ested in the proposed Roosevelt Mil itary Highway, which will be the means of opening up to settlement a largo amount of valuable land suit able for dairying, and land that is similar to that of Tillamook county, whero the dairymen have made such a great success of cheese making. It may interest you to know that tho dairy herds of TJllamook county pro duced 45,100,15C pounds of milk last year, and this made 5,036,000 pounds of cheese, valued at $1,352,694., This will be duplicated many times if tho Roosevelt Highway is built and the coast counties will produce mora cheese than is produced In Wiscon sin and some of the other cheese pro ducing states of the east, for the rea son that climatic conditions are ideal for cheese making in the coast counties.- The dairymen and grangers are all lined up in these counties for tho Roosevelt Highway. What the- coast, counties. -want-la an opportunity to develop western Oregon. They now appeal to the gen erous and magnanimous spirit of the. people of Oregon to help them do so, as western Oregon has received but; slight recognition by way of improve ments, but have always cheerfully raid their taxes, some of which have gone to help develop other parts of the state. All that western Oregon wants is a square deal, and I am sure if the people of the state knew of tho undeveloped resources that are in the coast counties, they would readily cast their votes in favor of the Roose velt Highway measure. It will be a market road, but at the same time it will bo used for pleasure by more people living in Portland, southern Oregon, eastern Oregon and the Wil- Inmette valley than by people living in the const counties, nnd it will out class the Columbia Highway for scenic beauty and picturesqueness, as It passes through a most interesting part of Oregon. The people in the coast counties are almost as much Interested in the other reconstruction measures as the Roosovolt Highway, as will be Been by a straw vote taken in Tillamook city on four measures, vix: Roose velt Highway Measure 281 yes; 1 no; Five Million Reconstruction Meas ure 247 yea; 17 no; Irrigation and Drainage Measure 247 yes; 17 no; Market Roads Tax Measure 206 yes; 5 no. Should the $5,000,000 reconstruction mensuro pass and tho Roosevelt High way measure be defeated, all that western Oregon will receive will be two Insignificant sums of money for nrmories nt Morshfleld and Astoria. In that event it will, be doing the coast counties an Injustice, Respectfully youre, FRED, d BAKER, Edltor Tillamook Headlight. LETKIE'S CAFE SOLD TO ENGENE MAN.
