Polk County Itemizer; Year by year the exodus of valiey people to the sen coast and mountains becomes greater Discreet persons lose nothing by such Outings. BARBER | The following is copied from the H e adi . ioht ’ b Willamette valley ex- changes, and represents only a few of the similar items published in those pa pers every week. During the summer season this will be a special feature in this paper: Salem Statesman: Joe Cook came back yesterday from n trip to I lie coast at Neskowin, Tillamook county, where he says there is excellent fishing for l>orgees and salmon trout Quite a lit tle village of valley folks are enjoying themselves nt that point, there being al- | ready forty-tliree tents pitched and Mr [Cook met between twenty and thirty persons going in. W. If. Bain and family returned with him. Henry Downing and family leave this ' morning for Neskowin. Oscar Taylor left yesterday for the Tillamook coast. James Simpson and J. A. Mothorn ami tl'.eir families will today emigrate to the Slab Creek camping grounds for a . short outing. If. M. Branson and family leave to day for Neskowin. R. W. Carey and family are among the crowd of Salemites who will take comfort at Slab Creek for a few weeks. * Tillamook, Or«. Fine Liquore and Clears Tillamook, Oregon N. Yamhill Record: Mrs. Messner an<l children, and Orin Maddux will start over to the Trask Hie last of the week for a few weeks outing The party of Portland people, com posed of If. G. Griffin and wife, Chas Sliter and family of four, and F. E. Thayer who have been at Trask the past two week«, passed through here l»st Saturday on their return home Ex-chief of Police Hunt, who accompan ied the party over there, returned sev eral day» sooner, on account ol «ickness, and Robert Jennings, also of the same party, is still over Ibero catching fish The memlrers of the party expreel tliem- telvM as highly pleaswl with the treat ment received at the hand» of Mr. and Mr». Burton of the Track hotel, ami with the accommodating manner in which they were treated by the stage line and ita driver». They captured ninny of the “speckled beauties," and report a very pleasant outing. It is safe to predict that they, ns well ns many of their friends, will return to Trask next season. St. Helens Mist: A party consisting of Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Quick. Mr. ami Mrs. R Cox, Captain and Mrs. A. Hen derson, Mr. and Mrs. David Henshaw, and Ole Sundby left here yesterday morning for Tillamook to spend n few weeks enjoying the refreshing breeze from the great Pacific. The party ex pect to camp a few days on Wilson river where it is said that front fishing is good. They take with them the sub stantial tilings of life and expect to cap ture their own luxuries in the shape of shell fish. Yamhill Reporter: Mrs. Capt. Kel logg, of Portland, grand matron of the Eastern Star, and Mrs. Ella J. Gates, president of the Rebecca I. O O. F. as sembly, left North Yamhill Friday Tillamook county, in the interest their respective lodges. Forest Grove Hatchet: Mrs. II. A Woodford, wife of the proprietor of the popular Alde.iman hotel of Tillamook, was in the city this early part of the week. Warm weather is turning the people toward the coast and the Tillamook stage is carrying good sized loads each trip now. Six went over Sunday and four Tuesday. Janies McCain of McMinnville, prose cuting attorney for Yamhill, Marion and Tillamook counties, came through Mon day on McNainer’s stage, leaving Tilla mook at 6:30 and arriving here for the evening train. Mr. McCain had been spending a week fishing at his ranch in Tillamook county. Last Thursday a gentleman who owns considerable property near Hillsboro was journeying to Tillamook with his fanrly by way of the Wilson river road At the first gate he tendered a $100 bill in payment of the $2 toll ami as the gate keeper could not change it he got througe free. At NcNamer’s half way camp he tried the same trick after his horses had been fed but the station keeper decided to keep the horses aa se curity so finally the capitaliHt found some smaller change The stage came along a little later and heard of what had been trie«! so, after they had passed the Hillsboro rig and gotten to the fur ther gate in advance of it, the driver ap prised the keeper of what was likely to happen. When the HilUboro man readied the gate lie was allowed to wait three hours before he was suffered to pass cn ami then only after paying toll for both gates He will probably re turn by another route. Inve.llgntlun by Prof.aaor lllll.r. a Gov emiliani Geni..glut. Professor J. H. Diller, a government geologist, who was recently sent out by the United Sates geological survey to examine the coal deposits in the Neha lem valley, has written a lotter to Dr. A. C. I’anton, of this city, a friend, in which letter he gives soma interesting facts concerning Ills investigations in the valley. The letter is in response to all inquiry from Dr. I’unton, who is greatly interested in the Nehalem coal possibilities, owning some coal-bearing property there. “There is unquestionably a large Issly of coal there,'' write» the professor, “in section 36, township 4, range 4, as well us ill section 23, township 4, range 4, where your mine is, and also oil the east side rd Nehalem It must have an extent of at least 10 square miles Be low it is a bed of coal of less extent, anil above are two other beds of still smaller distribution. The quantity of coni is certain, but Ilia quality may well Im questioned. The practical tests you have already made have doubtless indi cated its value. 1 have taken quite n large number of specimens for examina tion in the labratories of the survey nt Washington.—Oregonian The geological party examined the coal prospects oil to lower Nehalem, ami found there rich and extensive deposits. The parly came to Tillamook Sunday, and started out via Forest Grove Monday. The discovery of gold bearing black sand at Siletz lias caused considerable excitement here, and as there are laige dejiositH of black sand on the beaches of this county, they will lie thoroughly prospected While the editor was in Myrtle Creek last Sal unlay a lady bicyclist passed through town wearing a guiiuine pair of bloomer«. She dismounts! ami walked up main «(reel to show off her “pent«” to a better advantage, and it was fun for ye scribe to watch her —Kiddle EnterpJise. HEMLOCK TIMBER IIS VALUE IS BEING AP PRECIA TED. This timber has been until recently considered valueless because the East ern hemlock, a different variety, is prac tically worthless, except for fuel. The hemlock on this coast is now being placed on the market and is known as Alaska pine in the lumber trade. The following shows some of its superior points: It is the best timber for the coast. It ib good for all kinds of rough lum ber, especially for timbers that are pro tected from the weather. It is good for outside work if seasoned properly before using. Il is a very strong and hard wood and can be used to good advantage wheie strength is desired. It is a superbly line finishing lumber, takes a good polish, and has a most beautiful grain. It will soon be used extensively for this purpose. The trees are line, straight and smooth free from knots, ami is easy to get clear lumber out of it. It will out last anything on the coast for piling when placed in salt water, as it resists the action of the teredo if cut in the winter when the bark adheres. There is plenty of it and it is gener ally convenient to tide water, making it accessible before all other timber. It makes excellent lire wood. The hark is rich with tannin, ami cur ing the baik or making tannin extract will be a profitable industry as soon as logging begins, as it is necessary to peel all the logs used for lumber and the hark can be utilized profitably. It is being used extensively for pulp for paper and as the wood is very while it is the best for this purpose. in logging it for sawing it is necessary to bark it as it is loo heavy to float well unless peeled and seasoned for a while. Those who have hemlock timber should not waste it as it will find a ready sale in the near future. To Whom it Muy Concern. Tillamook county I iiih more than $1,- 125,000 worth oi properly according to the hint nbNvBBment. The county id practically out of debt, according to the laist othcial Biaiement, there being more resource* t*an liabili ties. it ail the taxes due were collected the county would have a umali Hurplus in the treasury. Tillamook city, the county se tt, a town of about 100(> inhabitants, is out of debt, and has a city ball, well improved streets and walks, some lire lighting np- paratus and is buying more Mortgages and county warrants Hie not taxed in this county. There are thouMunds <»( iicrc« of fine I agiiculiural lands in the county, and i the dairying business here now is ahead ui any county in the state. Thiscountv has the largest and greatest number of creameries and cheese factories. A Conservative estimate puls the amount of »landing timber in the coun ty at 20,000,(XX),000 feet boaid in canine, nioilly fir, sprue« and cedar, of the best (piahiy, and convenient to log Many quarter sections of land run from 5JHM),- uOiJ to 15,0(X),000 feet, ami this iw <I« h - tined to become one of the most impor- tant lumliering centers in the I inted Slates This county is about the size of the state of Deleware and has vastly greater resources. J here are several harbors on the coast line of the county ami the govern ment is improving Tillamook bay, ex pending $16,500 this year, ami about $20,000 has been expended heretofore Linger appropriations are expected each year, ns the IJ. S. government has re ceived over $600,000 from the sale of timber lands in the county, and no doubt will expend a great part of it here to make our timber available to the markets of the world. There are large deposits of coni in some localitities of the county. The beach resorts here are nlrendy popular, and the climate is delightful, lattle or no snow ever falls, grass is gisen the year round, the the thermom eter never legisters lower than 24 de grees above zero (slightly below the freezing point) ami the summers are very cool, seldom above 80 degrees tem- perature. The salmon fishing interests here are quite extensive, ami there are «Many and vane« I resources which lie dormant foi want of capital. Tillamook is about 60 miles south of Astoria mid 500 miles north of San Fran cisco and lias steamer connections with both places. We have no railroad yet, but we have daily mail stages from the railroad in the Willamette valley, mid telegiapbic coimectioiiH. There are several mills running on the bay, but the timlrer resources are as yet untouched. We need capital to start up industries and energetic men handle it. There is also an excellent optrortunity for cap italists to loan money hero at good rates of intereat interest on safe property. The town and country have never been lioomed Being Isolated, we do not get capital a* readily as other countries less favored as far as resources are concerned, and we invite moneyed men to investigate the merits of this locality.
