on the beach sands.
The scenery is magnificent beyond deserip-j

popular aunimer resort. The beaches, with 1
their picturesque arched rock» and wide ‘
stretches of white sand, attract many visitors
each year, many of them camping out all sum- ;

of shell-lish, flounders, rock cod and other fish
are plentiful and easy to secure. Speckled

are plentiful.
The climate is mild, cool in summer, warm
rains in winter, little or no snow, seldom any j

berries frequently ripen in December and Janu­

The county is new, and lias just begun to de­

industries are being started, towns are growing
up, and a railroad is expected soon. The per­
centage of increase is greater than any other

of 1895, there being now about 4000 people. This
will be doubled before another five years,

for a poor man with a large family, unless he
has an iron nerve and a good constitution for
work. There is milch government land yet sub
