T illamook weekly the TLLAMOOK COUNTY REGION OF WONDERFUL FERTILITY Brief Description of Its Climate Resources etc. Of all the counties of the Stateof Oregon there is 110 other containing so much natural wealth no other offering so many inducements to the settler and none so little known to the outside world, as the county of Tillamook. The fact of its being little known to the outside world is doubtless owing to mainly to its former isolation and the fact that the real estate boomer ■ has for some reason or other never found his way to this neglected little paradise in Western Oregon. LOCATION The location of Tillamook County is favorable both as to securing the best climate and trans portation. It is bounded on the North by Clatsop County, east by Yamhill and Washing ton Counties and South by Lincoln County, fhe county is indented by several good natural harbors. The Neha’.em river, on the north, forms a fairly good harbor and the Nestucca river on the south and Netarts bay is equally good Tillamook Bay is one of the best natural harbors on the Pacific Coast. It is constantly undergoing improvement at the hands of the government. Being thus well supplied with sea ports Tillamook is always certain ot reasonable trans, ortation. CLIMATE Situated as this county is washed by the waters of the Pacific, tempered by the waters of the Japan current its climate is exceptionally mild and pleasant. The heat of summer is never ex cessive, the themometer rarely rising above 80 degrees. The nights arc always cool and pleasant. In winter there is considerable rain, but snow rarely falls and if it does it does not remain on the ground, but is soon melted and carried away by the warm rains. Grass grows, green, the year round and stock requires but little additional feed. Such a thing as irrigation is unheard of and unknown. HEALTFULNESS. Owing to the above named conditions Tilla mook County is one of the most healthful places on earth. Malaria is unknown and Dip- theria, Typhoid fever and kindred diseases never occur where even the most ordinary care is taken to establish good sewage. Pneumonia is exceedingly rare and consumption, except in some cases that are brought here, is almost un known. PRODUCTIVENESS The soil of Tillamook is unequalled for rich ness and depth. The prairies are of compara tively small area, but are excellent for grass, The richbottcm lands are however far richer and will produce any kind of crop desired, but are especially adapted to root crops. Potatoes beets, car lots, etc. yield enormous crops, while oats, clover, timothy and all kinds of grasses produce astonishing results. Wheat and corn can be grown profitably, but the land is far more valuable for other purposes. The whole country is abundantly watered by rains and clear, never failing mountain streams, and ar tificial irrigation is unnecessary and unknown. NHW KNTKRPR1SES There i» abuudance of room for new xan mills ' ou the various rivers and harbors of flu. county New esi.uerie. could be erected to advantage aud there are several pjiuts in thecouutv wh.-r • creameries are needed. Tillamook city needs « foundry and machine shop, aud other luanu- facturing enterprises. EMPLOYMENT. We are often asked what chance there i* here to secure employment for wages. Our reply in variably is-very little. This is a county of homes, farms and dairy ranches. The settlers are mostly newcomers. They are clear ing up their farms ahd tending to theirciws and dairies. The only show for employment is at the sawmills, and during the season em ployment may be had at fishing, bu t generally speaking, the men who come to this county should come with the intention of taking up or purchasing farms and making bonus. headlight CEEc Corner Saloon* * BRINN BROTHERS, PROPS.

It is estimated that it amount* to about Five Thousand, of which about two thirds is in the rural districts. T owns .—Tillamook City, the county seat, has a population of about 1000. It has all the bu. i- ness houses usual to a town of its si*j mo t of which carry large stocks of goods. The usu 1 shops, two good hotels and two newspapers. The town has a fine system of waterworks and an electric light plant. It has four churches, a fine graded school and an excellent Academy conducted by the Catholic Sisters of the order of St. Cecilia and capable of imparting a finished education. There is also a good private school. Nehalem, Bay City, Beavar and Woods are all flourishing villages, HUNTING AND FISHING For all kinds of sport, Tillamook is literally the “Sportsman s Paradise.” All kinds of fish and game abound. In the mountain forests, I Elk, deer, bears and panthers abound, while along the coast in the bays, ponds, lagoons and sloughs wild fowl of all kind are to be found in countless numbers. Ducks, geese, brent, plover, snipe, rail and other waterfowl are here fr.m October to April, and on the uplands and iver bottoms rabbits, quail grouse and pheasant are plentiful. All the streams literally sw^rm with trout the year around and trolling for salmon during the season is royal sport, the catch being oftentimes enormous. GOVERNMENT LANDS There is still considerable government land in this county open to homestead entry. This land is to be found in the southern part of the county in the burnt timber regions and in the northern aud central portions. The laud is mostly covered with excellent timber except in the southern part of the county where it is covered with brush and dead limber. This land is mostly near good loads, and when cleaied becomes at o..ce ve* y valuable for agr’cultural and grazing purposes. Valuable timber claims may also be had al points sufficiently near a market to make them salable. .■> I % / -A_re 37-0-0. -¿ù-xe 37-0-01 tizecL^ "STc-d toloo sometlxixig^ C. IB.
