Mohair Oregon is second in the list of states in the production of mohair, and nowhere is the natural habitant of the Angora goat better adapted to its keep mid de velopment than in the mountain ranges of Western Oregon. The generous showers, mild climate, and responsive soil of Tillamook county peculiarly adapt it lot these animals. Nowhere is browse more plentiful or more nourish- Sheep are raised to some extent, Surface croppings of rcoal, varying from two to three inches to as many feet in thickness, and of the best quality, are found in different parts of the c<>un tv. Surrounding Tillamook Bay and on the Nehalem and Kelchis rivers excellent prospectsjhave been found. The Tilla- mook Coal fields have never been work ed, however, to anv extent, but this will in time become an important industry. A Pleasure Resort- Cranberries. But few counties in Oregon can laim to raising cranberries, and of ew Tillamook stands as one of 'endingcounties fitted to monopolize that industry. The vines are well adapted to his climate, free from insect pests grow vigorously, and where the bogs are properly prepared are enormously pro ductive They have produced by actual measure at the rate of one thousand bushels per acre. It costs from $200 to $4-00 per acre to prepare the ground and plant the vines, including the cost of plants. The land which has timber standing on it, is the most expensive to prepare, although none the less adapted to the raising of cranlierries so long ns the land is made up of vegetable muck or peat. A bog. once set in the proper shape, will last indefinitely. The first cost, although quite large, cuts little figure in the long run. The cranberries grown here are of a darker color and are much superior in flavor to those in the east, and also weigh more to Ihe bushel. The size of the berry is about the same. There are many acres of suitable land for raising cranberries in Tillamook county. The land iu its present wild state is worth nothing, hut properly treated, and planted to the standard varieties of tame cranberry, it < can be transformed to a most paying business. Peat land is nlso very valu-1 ; able forother crops when properly drain- ’ e , d and pulverized. Immense crops of but the goat is the more profit ible ol the two. Hay is the principal crop of thecounty. Timothy, orchard grass, velvet grata, red top, clover, rye and oats are the principal varieties grown. This is the principle feed, and in many cases the only feed on which the dairy herds are kept through the winter. Roots ’are fed as an extra ration in mosteases, however through part of the winter. White clover is claimed by manv to produce the very best grade of honey, and as it grows naturally on all the riv er bottom landsof the county, Tillamook honey cannot be surpassed for flavor, color, nnd sweetness. The seasons arc usually too short, however, to make it profitable to engage in this industry ex tensively, but every farmer may have a few stands which, if properly cared for. will produce all he can use of the finest honey. The southern part of the county is best adapted to the production of this article. ■ Indications of oil have been found in several localities. One near Tillamook City gave such promise that a Portland company set up a boaring outfit and are now at work drilling a well. Gas and oil are already found in small quan tities, and indications grow more fayor- nble as the drill descend*. To the lover of nature, Tillamook countv presents manv charms. Bound ed on the east by the summit of the Coast range of mountains, on the wes< bv the Pacific Ocenn, and intersected b> a generous number of mountain stream*, every vaiiety of scenery is provided for the appreciative eve. Five rivers, namely, Tillamook, Trask, Wilson, Kelchis and Miami, flow into Tillamook Bay, which lays midway between the north nnd south boundaries of the county. To the north, the Nehalem River, n still larger stream than those first mentioned, flows into the Nehalem Bay. All these streams support severnl rarities of trout. Chief among which are the famous Oregon Trout, which is found in every stream and tributary, varying in size from zero upto n length of 20 inches, and a weight of four pound*. Well up the streams nn abundance of Brook Trout fill every stream large enough to flout them. Sometimes one will take n genuine Sal mon Trout, nnd again n Dolly Varden, and a sprinkling of half a dozen other verities. The upper reaches of the water courses flow through immense forests of fir nnd cedar, while on the low er levels, they run in quieter mood through green pastures where fat cattle gorge thrmaeves. The beautiful beaches of Tillaimvik County, among which the Nehaleru, Netarts, Nestucca. and the ■ucndapils at Netarts and Tillamook Bays, are notable, are destined to be come prosperous summer resorts with the advent of better transportation TILLAMOOK CITY Is situated at the head of navigation on lloquarton Slough, and is the county seat, ns well as the largest city in the county.
