It was no other than J J. Hill, the great railroad builder, at a banquet in Ilia honor in Portland, who made the same remark about the nigh price of agricultural land as we made a few weeks ago, yet no one i» calling him a knocker. Nor did he have land at $41X1 or $500 an acre in mind, as is the case in Tillamook County, when he made that statement, but land at $50 to $100 an acre. And it is beginning to ’awn most forcibly upon the n inds of a large number of dairymen that their taxes increase every year on account of inflated values living placed on dairy lands in this county. That is not the only draw back. Home seekers cannot be induced to locate here because it takes a little fortune to buy a fairly good »'zed farm of this land. We hope, when all idle agricultural land is as sessed the same as improved land, it will have a tendency, with those who are holding it for speculation, to place it on the market at lower figures. Probably when some of the cities which went “dry” last week have gone through the same experience with ‘blind pigs” as this county did, there will tie some change of senti ment before another election. day evening, which was just follow- leg the close of the Butter Makers’ convention and preceding theo|»en- ing of the dairymen’s convention, the two association» were enter tained at a banquet by the Com mercial club at the new Tillamook hotel. This hotel, it may be said, is one of the finest in any of the towns in Oregon, a remarkable hotel for a city the size of Tilla ■nook, and one which reflects great credit upon the ambitions and pro gress of its people. The affair was a great success in every way, and the splendid menu was a credit to the hotel management. Black coffee and the prize Tillamook cheese made by trie Red Clover fac- tory, scoring 96 per cent was served with the last course of the banquet Mike Abplanalp, presi dent of the Red Clover cheese fac tory, was called upon to cut the cheese, which he did gracefully amid round after round of applause for the man who can year after year bring out the finest cream cheese in the world. I The State tax this year will be live mills, or about $75,(100 for Tillamook County to pay, which is more than the whole tax collected in this county not many years ago. With our new fangled system of legislation 1 and creating new offices and I new commission, the so-called Oregon system instead of re ducing the taxpayers’ burdens appears to be increasing them. This means that taxes will take ■ another jump. President Kunze took an early stand for strict integrity in dealing one with another.

On Wednesday morning the visit ing dairymen, about fifty strong, were loaded into a dozen automo biles furnished by the businessmen of Tillamook, leaving the hotel about 9 o’clock, and were taken on a 20-mile drive through the beauti ful Tillamook valley’. The dairymen w’ made that drive are convinced that some of the richest land in the w;rld lies in Tillamook valley.
