Taking advantage of their industry many an ancient settler from wla.se pate the hairs have long since slip;«!, will, w hen liesieged by the pangs of hunger, seat himself near to a < laiufiat, and with bared head glimmering in the sunshine he awaits the advent of the industrious raven. Tire latter mistaking the |Kitient bead for a boulder plumlis it center, but before lie can renelr the ground the lazy man lias long since eaten the elam anil in a devout attitude is exposing his cranium for another crack.

A tract of seven hundred acre® of the finest liottom land in the world, not excelled by the famous Ireaverdanr lands Iran just lieen put on the mar ket, there is not an acre of it but w hat is adapted to the cultivation of liny, sugar lieets, hops or auy.r rrqftliat requires lire highest quality of rich soil.

Every acre w ill supjarrt two gotal r-ows, winter and summer'. This land is laid out in 10 ami 20 acre tracts, and will Ire sold on generiats terms and long time. In fact the owners are so confident of tire success of the purchasers that they make almost no restrictions in regard to time. To people with a entail amount of capital, ami a large endowment of industry, these tracts offer a magnificent opening. Tla-se lands adjoin the City of Tillamook, on the south Iroundarv.

The mountain forests of fir had not yet Ireen explored. The Indians did not penetrate far into the interior, but followed trails up iirnl down the ocean Ireach, living on clams, oysters and fish. The advent of white men has made a wonderful change in a few year». At first only a few settlers reached the place, ami owing to ils isolation, but little was known of the country until w ithin the past few years. Finally roads were made across tire coast range, connecting with the Willamette valley, ami steamers Iregan to ply between this place ami Portland. The ferns have disappeared from tire prairies, ami waving fields of barley ami hay take the place. Many farms have Ireen cleared along the river bottoms, ami several mills are busy sawing lumber. Now, we find a busy, prosperous community, ami hundreds of people engaged in profitable industry. There is room for thousands more. Come along ami grow up with the country. The summer climate is the acme of perfection, and the winters are mild. Pleasure resorts on the Ireach are convenient and well patronized.
