Its magnificent forests of spruce, fir, larch, cedar and hemlock have been scarcely touched by the woodman's axe, and, aside from the comparatively small amount of lumber shipped by the Nehalem mills and the Truckee Lumber company at Hobsonville, only enough lumber has been sawed for home consumption. Re cently, additional mills have been established in the county, and now Nehalem, Hobsonville Netarts aud Tillamook all have mills that are engaged in shipping lumber to San Francisco. It is estimated that last years out put was as much as 20,000,000 feet. The Nehalem River and Tillamook Bay are excellent harbors and there is a splendid opening for new mills at both points. But the principal industry of the county wil doubtless always be DAIRYING. For this industry Tillamook County is doubt less the best section of country in the United States. Wherever the land is cleared it is at once covered with luxuriant natural grasses that are literally green and nutritious the year round, and cattle require comparatively but little feed in winter, there being no snow and the grass continuing its growth. Owing to the excellence of the feed and the skill employed by our dairymen, Tillamook butter has become fameus all over the coast and demands the highest price in the markets. It is estimated that the dairy product of this county amounted last year to 1000 tons, valued at $500,000. There are ten creameries in the county, and the dairy man can either sell his milk to the creameries or make it into butter and cheese. Tillamook cheese has a reputation equal to Tillamook ut er, and the demand is always in excess of the supply. Good land suitable for dairying and within easy reach of creameries can be pur chased at reasonable figures ranging at, from $10 to $75 per acre. FISHING. Fishing is carried on extensively and there are large cannei ies located at different points in the county. Nehalem has two, Tillamook has one , Woods and the Siletz River have.'Mie can nery each. Besides the product of the canneries large quantities of fish arc shipped fresh aufl salted. The entire product for the last year is estimated as follows: Canned Salmon 75.000 cases value $225,000 Fresh Salmon 100 tons ” $6,000 ■ Fait Salmon loo tons ” $8,000 1 The only variety of fish thus far shipped out of the county are salmon aud steel head trout The almost iuexhaustable banks of halibut, rock cod and other deep sea fishes, known to exist, remain uutouched, OTHER INDUSTRfES. Aside from these principal industries there are others that will in time develop into consid erable importance. Fruits, especially apples pears, plums, prunes and all the varieties of berries, especially the latter, grow in the great est abundance and with proper cultivation bring a never failing crop, Cranberry culture in certain sections of the ounty has been commenced on a large scale and bids fair to yield handsome returns. The Tillamook cranberry is pronounced by connois seurs the best berry grown on the coast. Native berries such as huckleberries, blackberries and sallalberries grow in great abundance. One of the new industries of this county that promises to develop into large proportions is the keeping of bees. The myriadsof wiid flow ers that grow here furnish rich foraging ground or bees and tliehonej <s noted for being of un usually fine flavor and clearness. As 11 laud literally flowing with milk and honey. Tilla mook comes nearer filling the bill than any other we know of on earth On the Nehalem river large beds of coal are known to exist and the in near future coal min ing will be added to the other profitable inter eats of the county.
