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-

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

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.
