injected ficticious values into
real estate in Tillamook. 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.

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.
