FLORIDA GIRLS.
Not long ago two Fiori la girls con­
cluded to take a day's hunt in the Great
Aurantula hammock, the upper edge of
which touches the river. Starting out
early, they made good progress, and by 9
o'clock were in the midst of the wild
hammock. During the forenoon they
had luck—killing a deer, a wildcat, 10
big gray squirrels and several enormous
snakes. After taking a noonday lunch
they decided to cross over Alligator
creek, a wide but shallow stream that
crosses the hammock, emptying into the
Withlacochee. Just before reaching the
creek they had to pass through a dense
canebrake for several rods. When about
half way through, one of their dogs that
had lingered behind came rushing up,
yelping lustily, while close on its heels
was a big black bear, tierce and ugly as
it could be. The path was so narrow
that they had no chance to fight the ani­
mal. and in fact the dog and bear came
in on them so suddenly that little time
was allowed for reflection.
Miss Josie slung her rifle around and
tired at the beast, but in the confusion
only wounded him. The girls than ran
ahead, intending to get out on to the
open bank by the water's edge, so as to
get a fair ground to battle old bruin.
But the r.ituriated animal, aroused to
madness by the rifle ball, pursued them
so closely that only scientific dodging
saved them from a close hug. Emerging
from tue [>ath. they noticed the boat used
to cross the creek lying right in front of
them, and both of the girls, struck with
tae same idea, sprang into it, tiieir im­
petus carrying it out into the creek.
tile dog was unable to get into the
boat, but he bit at bruin’s heels so sharp­
ly that the latter had to stop his pursuit
of the git is and endeavor to punish his
tour footed assailant. But the dog was
too wary and kept out of his re.ic'i. The
girls called him. and plunging in he
swam out to them. Meanwhile tne hun­
gry denizens of the creek, whose n im-
bers gave it its name, were awakened by
the tumult, and they began to show
themselves As the dog jumped in, the
splash i.t.racted scores of the ugly rep­
tiles from 1.11 directions, and the water
was dotted by the black snouts of the
hungry ga.urs
The g’«. i.otlced this and called en­
couragingly to their dog, who seemed to
be ful y aw are of his danger. Several
black noses were already pointed in his
direction, and it looked as if the 'gators
might get a meal. But Wilda seized the
[.ole lying at the bottom of the canoe,
and by askiilinl push scut the boat close
to the dog Josie was waiting, and as
the nog swum up she helped him to
clamber over the side, almost upsetting
the fruil vessel. And it was just in time,
too. for just as the dog's legs slipped
out of the water a huge pair of jaws rose
out of the depths with an ominous snap.
With a souse the disappointed saur.an
sank.
While this was going on bruin stood
on the bank, growling and snarling in
impotent rage at the dog and girls t ms
escaping. Seeing the dog in the canoe
seemed to render blip still more furious,
and with a deep growl he dashed into
the water and began swimming toward
the boat. Between the bear and the
gators the girls began to think their
hands would be full. Wilda [licked up
her gun and made a snap s.iotut the aui
n.al. but a movement of the dog discon­
certed her aim, and the load of buckshot
flew to one side, only a small number
striking the bear. But they angered mm
the more, an.l with a snarl he almost
leaped out of the wateriu Ins mud eager­
ness to reach the boct.
Wilda dropped the gun. and picking
up the pole soon placed the bout a rod
a lead of the pursuing animal. Josie had
again rekmd«l her gun. and she tnrued
to deliver Ills qnietua to the animal But
the commotion in the water and the
bear's evident disquietude put a new face
on matters, and she withheld her file.
The dog's yelping and the bear's growl­
ing had evidently awakened the scaly
denizens of the creek to a realizing sense
that it was mealtime. Mia-ing the dog
they were uot averse to bear meat,
bruin, in his burry to catch his first
prey, hail ¡»aid little atten ion to w mt
might befall him in the creek. But now
he began to notice the increasing num
ber of black spots in the water all turn
ing toward him. and probably instinct
told him that hungry gators in their

»pined.

Sleeps on the Floor.
"1 have never slept in a bed since the
war." This remark was made yesterday
by A. M. Warner of Boston.
"The reason." lie continued, "is not
because 1 am a vegetarian or a crank. 1
simply am unable to go to sleepin a bed.
aud for '.0 years I have not tried. Dur­
ing the war I was in service four years
aud in all that time never slept in a bed.
I had no home and consequently had no
furloughs. The habit of rolling in a
blanket and sleeping grew so fixed with
me that when 1 got back from the wa-
and settled down a bed was a nuisance.
I have rolled and tossed and tried h..rd
to sleep night after night, but was not
able to keep my eyes closed until I
sought the floor. For 10 years 1 tri -d to
reconcile myself to a bed. but it was no
n e. Finally 1 gave it up. and now in
my home in Boston I sleep in a room in
which there is no bed. I simply roll my­
self in a blanket or two, according to
the temperature, and I sleep soundly.
My health is good, and 1 am snre that 1

is found in many localities also, and larch grows
on the summit of the coast range. These are all
valuable timbers. The fir (properly Douglas
spruce) is a very durable and strong wood, and
is manufactured into rough lumber for all pur­
poses, and is made into flooring and rustic
weather-boarding larg« ly. A great deal of fir is
used for ship masts, limbers, 150 feet long have
been sawed from it in many instances. Spruce
is a softer wood, is white and is used mostly for
finishing lumber and for boxes aud barrels.
Being odorless, it is good for packing butter
and fruits. The largest area of spruce in the
Northwest is found in Tillamook county, and as
it is growing scarce elsewhere, it will be of great
value in a short time. Most of the lumber man­
ufactured here now is made from spruce. The
c dar takes an elegant finish, and is the very
best material for doors, sash am! shingles. It
commands a high price at present.

these rivers ar«* good size«! streams on their lower
c.»urs a. but the C<»a«t Range prevents their be
ing very long, and dozens of creeks course down
the iiiiiiimerable canyons of the range, uniting
into one large stream. No lea.« than five rivers
empty into Tillamook bav The lower courses
of these streams are affected by the tide and so
far as the tide water extends inland, steamboat
navigation is carried on. This makes the navig
able extent of Tillamook bey and Its arms very
great and the facilities for rafting logs are much
better than in most countries. There is at Hub-

good sized towns are sure to spring up on Tilla- ’

lumbering business gets well started.
The lumberiug interests are by far the most
important resource of the county, and this re­
source cannot possibly be exhausted within the ,
next hundred years. The improvement of the
harbors aud the opening of the Nicaragua canal '
will bring all the lumber produced on this coast '
withiu reach of the Atlantic coast market, and
there will aho at that time be a greater demand i
for lumber on this coast as a general degree of j

DAIRYING.
Next iu importance to Tillamook's lumbering
resources, are the dairy interests. Grass is good ;
here the year 'round. Feed is plentiful am! 1
easily prod 11 ceil, the climate is so temperate that '
cattie thrive: and all the conditions here con-I
tribute towaids making dairyiug successful. I
The grasses and natural feed are of a kind
that produces the best milk and butter. The
climate is so even aud cool, an«l the water so
pure that the butler here |H»»scsses the finest
flavor if any care is taken in making it. This
business is found very profitable here and
nearly two hundred tous of butter have been
¿hipped from here during the past year. Gene­
ral stock raising goes with dairying here gene­
rally, and is very profitable.
FARMING.
General farming pays well here, especially
when done iu connection with stock raising, j
Markets are getting better every year, and as j
soon as the wagon roads are put in better shape,
which is being done rapidly, the fanner will not
have any trouble iu finding a good market for
his produce all the year. Of course there is no
railroad yet, but the freight by the steamers is
low, besides there is a home market at present i
for a great deal o produce. Barley and oats
grow here to perfection, making yields equal to
the richest sections of California or Oregon.
Hay of various kinds does as well here as in any
part of the United States. Potatoes and garden
vegetables of all kinds are at their best here,
and the yield is simply enormous. Hops grow
and mature well wherever tried. There La
large area of prairie and bottom land in this
county, and it is capable of supplying a large
population. The hill lands are good for fruit
aud for grazing, and there is plenty of this kind
of land, with occasional patches of table land or
bottom land, that can be obtained under the
government land laws. Land much less pro­
ductive than this in the eastern states is being
farmed. In fact there is very little of this county
but what can be made productive iu some way.
The tide lands here are exceedingly rich, and
much more of it could easily be reclaimed from
the tidal overflow and made to yield immense
crops. A great deal of the tide land is covered
with a thick growth of nutritive grasses, and it
is the most renumerative land that the county
has. Cattle are ofteu allowed to roam in the
hills, and even in the woods, all W'inter without
other feed than the natural grasses, and come
out iu go«Ml condition iu the spring. The hills
that have been denuded of their timber by fire
make good sheep ranges. Fruits of all kinds
grow to perfection here, especially apples, pears,
prunes and small fruits, such as blackberries
straw berries, raspberries, etc. are prolific bea-
reis. The woods are full of wild berries, there
being almost a dozen distinct varieties of huckle­
berries, besides salmouberries, thimbleberries,
and many other kinds, which goes to show that
this is a natural fruit country. Bee keeping is
curried 011 in some localities, and the honey pro­
duced here always comma nds the highest price
being of exceptionably fine flavor. A livingcan
be made hereon a very small farm, and farmers
can always do well here. They are the class
that is needed. Improved laud here sell at fao to
$40 per acre and unimproved land is worth from
,5 to <2o per acre. A farm of 160 acres can be
obtained from the government by residing on It
five years, or by residing ou it fourteen months
and paying the government >1.25 per acre. There
is yet much vacant timlier land which can l»e
had on the same terms as above, or may lie
bought outright from the government without
residing thereon tor <2.50per acre. This land is
selling to timber speculators at prices varying
from fSoo to |i6oo per quarter section oi 160 acres
and will soon be worth a great deal more.

searwm on Tillamook bay, on Nehalem bay, and
sometimes on Nestucca bay. The output of t
canned salmon amounts in value to $50,000 to

great many fishermen. There are canneries at
each of the above named places and the item of
canned salmon amounts each year to much
more than the wheat of some uf the grain
