*
The resources ofTilamook county are num
erous but consist mainly, in dairying and fish
ing. 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

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

mook comes nearer filling the bill than any

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.
