Everything is lovely and done in true California style. We are all in the best of health and feel fine,all but Mrs. Olson VS who is just homesick. For the benefit oi my inquiring friends who want to know about this country. I will describe the situation. This valley has rolling hills that can be cultivated. Has about 14,- 000 acres of land of the best quality of granite soil—and the whole amount is now at the present time either put into crops of grain, or is into orchards of citrons or decideous fruits. All land here is good and cultivated with the ex. ception of rocky points and very little waste, as the soil is very deep to the point of junction with the stone. This BY valley is about 20 miles from Los Angles, south-east, about 35 miles N. E. from San Diego, and the altitude 800 feet above sea level The rainfall up to this time is three inches, and the people here are happy with a ten inch rainfall for the year. Only fruit lands are irrigated, and by careful cultivation all decideous fruits can be raised without irrigation, such as apples, pears, peaches, apricots, plums and grapes, but citrus fruits must be irrigated. Many smaller valleys sur round this that make this their depot of supplies, as this is a terminus of the Sante Fe railroad. The country lias periods of drongh, lasting two and three years at a time at intervals of eight and | ten years. Land is from fifty to five- hundred dollars an acre, as to location and value of improvements. Every one here, with a few exceptions, want to sell. There is no one in want here. In the three or four months that 1 have re sided here I have not seen a tramp, beg gar, or pauper. All seem to have plenty, but nearly all want to sell and go some where. They have no special point MACKINTOSHES, 20 percent; picked out to go to, only like all other migrating Americans in the great west OIL CLOTHING, 10 per cent ; they want to go. Now for the benefit of my inquiring friends in Tillamook. I will say to all of you who have good SHOES, HATS, CLOTHING, health and are doing well in Tillamook FURNISHING GOODS, to stay where you are. As for myself, iff niv health was as good in Tillamook as it is here, I would stay with my place TRUNKS, VALISES, FLOUR, there, and would notgive it for a section of this land. I will say that this country FEED AND GROCERIES, 5 has made me a well man and for any of per cent. mv friends who have trouble with throat and lungs or rheumatics, this country is all right. For old people this will give them a new lease of life. Small homes are cheap—small places of five or seven acres, with good house and barn, wells and fruits, can be bought for from $1000 to $1500 but for hearty,sturdy, healthy and enterprising Tillamookers, 1 say, stay at home and keep your farms. Let well enough alone. You do not want to go to paradise if you want to make money. You do not want to come to paradise until we send for you. The great woods of the northwest are the place for the strong and enterprising, but for myself and J. J. McCoy, this is our place. Paradise at last. And we both deserve it. you bet. Well, good-by to you and all my good Tillamook friends Yours truly, J. H. J ackson . [We have often heard preachers say that people of the present day want to get to paradise in a palace car. Evident ly friends Jackson and McCoy went by that route to their blissful abode. But, says, boys, if you’ve found paradise by all means don't quit your claims. Tilla Respectfully, mook is good enough for the editor, for it is more like jiaradise than the drongh stricken sections of California. We don’t get tormented here and have to call for a cup of cold, pure, refreshing water to ! quench our thirst, for there’s plenty of that in this county.

I nm not satisfied simply to sell a truss that approximates the size of the customer, for I want the trusses I sell to do the work they are expected to do and be comfortable at the same time. Sometimes a little intelligent liending of the truss-band is needed. I do it. And I frequently order sjiecial trusses or sizes if necessary. Spring Trusses from $1.5«) to $3.
