TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT
—
Local news items this week convey startling
information of such a nature as to lead one to
believe that something until now unheard of in
this county is soon to take place.
The exploitation of our almost untouched
resources is hinted at by the transfer and invest
igation of timber lands in all sections of Tilla
mook.
We have, in this small valley, the wealth
of a kingdom, in a commodity which is being
demanded by thousands of cities all over the
world. Our timber is of such vast proportions
that few in this generation will live to see any
great diminishing of the supply which is now
standing about us. Our dairy industry, while
it may never reach mammoth size, is always
rich and will act as a stabilizer on Tillamook
County’s financial affairs.
An increase of fifty per cent, in population
within the past three years would indicate that
the story of our wealth had reached far, and
that many more new-comers may be expected
here soon to share it with us.
