There is no better security than Tillamook
county farms and if a State law could be passed or some
other arrangements made so that thostf who have land
to clear could obtain money at 5 per cent it would be a
great inducement to dairymen to clean up land and
make it produce.
Tillamook City is the cheese center of the North­
west and it is from this point that most of the cheese is
shipped, and. notwithstanding railroad competition, the
dairymen save money by shipping cheese by the water
route.
