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.
