GOODS !
At Colin & Co.’s Big Store.
Not Goods that have been shipped from one retail store to another and could not be sold, and at last dumped on the peo
of our city, but Bright, New Styles and New' Patterns just received from the factories and the mills.
AVe, as the people well know, handle no auction or bankrupt stock.
The Ladies have said that no Store in our city is showing the up-to-date line of Goods that we are.
.We are not overstocked, but we have the largest stock of spring goods in the city.
New Law ns, New Black Goods, New White Goods, and, in fact too many new goods to advertise.
Come and inspect our Spring Stock, just to see the pretty things.
Our big sales speak for themselves that our prices are the lowest.

pedient to do so. This measure author­ '
izes the secretary of the treasury to re­
fuse entry of food supplies which the 1
secretary of agriculture finds to be
adulterated so as to be injurious to I
health. There was previously a law that I
authorized the exclusion of adulterated
foods that might be injurious to health ■
but it required our officials to prove that
they were harmful. The new law re­
lieves them of this. Under this statue
there would be no difficulty in adopting
retaliation as to those countries which
discriminate against American products

it is highly probable that the law will
be enforced if the policy of discrimina­
tion is continued.

have a large number of sawmills and
logging camps in operation.
The Truckee Lumber Company is the
only sawmill now shipping lumber at the
present time, although, when the new
mill of the Tillamook Lumber Company
is finished, it will ship a large amount of
dressed lumber, having entered into a
contract to that effect with San Fran­
cisco ltiniher-bu vers. California parties
have obtained possession of the sawmill
at Netarts and the Gunn mill at Nehalem,
and in a few weeks these mills will be
running also. Other parties are figuring
on putting in sawmills near Tillamook
City. Once the lumber business gets
fairly started, a tugboat will have plenty
to do and will be a profitable investment
to those who operate it. It is contended
by quite a number of people that the
business men of Tillamook City should
operate the tug, for then there would be
no likelihood that it would be taken off.
Great Value of Meadows-
As to the increased value of dairy
farms and dairy lands in Tillamook, no
countv in Oregon can compare with this
county, for they have been enhancing in
value for several years, and have now
become valuable property. As an in­
stance of this, improved and partly im­
proved farms six years ago could be
bought for about $50 an acre, while to­
day the same land is changing hands at
from $7.5 to $100 an acre. Only two
weeks ago a dairy farm, containing 153
acres, with house and barn and the land
only partly cleared, sold for $27,000.
and a few days after the partly cleared
land sold for from $125 to $200 an acre.
This land was not sold to newcomers,
but was bought by Tillamook people,
who have been in the county for years,
and who know the value of it for dairy-
ing purposes. It is no uncommon thing
for improved dairy farms to sell for
from $75 co $100 an ncre. Owing to the
high price which prevails for dairy
farms, quite a number of the settlers,
who obtained the land ata low figure a
few years ago, have been tempted to sell
and move away from the county, only
to return after a few months’ sojourn in
California or Southern Oregon. By
selling or renting their farms, they have
been put in fairly good circumstances
financially.
There are thousands of acres of unim­
proved land in Tillamook today which
will make just as good dairy farms and
become just as valuable when cleared and
turned into meadows. What Tillamook
lacks is a railroad, and on account of its
somewhat isolated position, but few
home-seekers visit Tillamook, although
it is the garden spot in Oregon for suc­
cessful and profitable dairying.

are also branching out with new factor- !

There is now considerable competition
with the different factories to secure the |
patronage of the dairymen as the factor- ,

It is a healthy competition, and it has |
brought other experienced chees and but- '

country, and where grass is king, as Til-
la niook. There is one feature in connec-
tion with dairying in Tillamook which
is often overlooked in making a com­
parison with other sections of the state,
and it is this : Tillamook dairymen raise
all their feed on their farms for their
dairy herds, and have not, as in other
parts of Oregon, to buy mill feed. In
ordinary seasons, the dairy herds feed
out nearly the whole year, and it is only
a few months that the dairymen have
