LL eyes were turned on Til lamook June 15, when the boosters of that town dedicated their spacious new Commercial Club headquarters with a $2.50 a plato banquet, and entertained guests from Portland, Astoria, Salem and other Western Oregon towns. The commercial bodies from the i . . newer towns springing up arouna the Bay were strongly represented Bay City sending Its entire Board of Trade. Portland capital that has gone Into Tillamook Bay to the ex tent of millions was there with bright men of busy brains and hope ful hearts to attest their faith in Tillamook. Much About Tillamook. But the real center of all the In terest in this great harbor and Its untold and untenable wealth of re sources in dairying and timber the center of the wealth and enterprise that are making this country rich and great, is at the capital and metropolis of the county Tillamook City, where the rivers enter the Bay, and whero the influences radiate to the rest of the world. Tillamook Commercial Club. That Is the meaning of the new Commercial club of about 125 mem bers, with its home in a fino now block of pressed brick, furnished a3 elegantly as any In tho state, that gave a banquet where overy gue3t was served with a mountain trout, nnd whero the choicest fruits were served that are grown within a block of the clambeds. Tho President of tho Commercial Club and toastmaster of the evening was Webster Holmes. He has held this position for two years and is ably seconded by Erwln Harrison, secretary. Holmes is an old Salem boy and has for a partner T. B. Haudloy, Jr., son of another pioneer lawyer and newspaper man, who was onco a partner of Thos. Tongue, tho congressman. It is a pleasure to know that a man like Webster Holmes can go Into a new country like this, whpro a fringe of cities and summer resorts aro building up around a great harbor, and secure investments that aro making him rich, build up a fine law practice and become ono of the makers of a greater Orogon. That is what Holmes has done and what any brainy young man can do In Tillamook, Club Han Fine Quarters. Tho Commercial club has fino largo rooms on tho second floor of the Tillamook block. Tho furnlturo cost $2000. There Is a business of fice, readiug room, (directors' room, billiard room and largo banquet and nssombly hall. The club has some oxcellont publicity literature and will circulate several thousand In himself and filled our creel with tho spotted beauties that make the Trask river famous as a trout stream. That banker is a dead game, sport and has a hand in the building of tho town and the de velopment of the country. James Walton, Jr., another Salem boy who has gone out to distinguish himself as ono of the makers of greater Oregon. Has n Bullfiing Zoom. Not exactly, but there are ono hundred handsome residences and pretty bungalows going up. Founda tions for a number of business blocks aro going in. There is a scarcity of dwellings and many are living in tents. The $30,000 concrete court house, the $40,000 Commercial club block going up, the railroads build- to sea. This business has been con ducted by this company for about thirteen years. Their trade de mands 140 beeves, 50 sheep and 50 hogs each month. This largo trade Is under the management of M. F. Leach. Great Department Store. For twenty-five miles before you reach Tillamook 'from any direction but tho west you aro made awaro of the great department store known as Haltom's, which has been cou ducted for the past eight years by E. T. Haltom. Tho new storo is in a fino concreto building built for the proprietor, about 100 feet square, and two stories, costing $45,000. The stock easily reaches $40,0,00. There aro tho most up-to-now cash carrlors, and eight people selling goods in the new storo that was taken possession of January 1, 1910. Mr. Haltom Is one of the prime movers for a greater Tillamook, and one of the executive committee ofj the Tillamook Commercial club as well as one of its organizers. He sets aside a certain sum for boost ing the town just as he does for religion, and is one of those men who believe they are doing God'a work In building up the community, and they are tho kind of men who aro making Oregon a greater and a better state. His store Is the best in the county and every mile for 25 slder Is proverbial. Ho has written half million dollars of fire insur ance in three years and not had a dollar of loss. Watson served his country seven years in tho navy as a seaman, was, shot through the hand at the battlo of Manila Bay, while serving ns gunner's mate, was in the Asiatic squadron, at tho Southern Pacific station in tho Philippines and in Alaska. He does a general real estate business, boosts good roads, and has organized a syndicate to build a model and ideal summer resort at Neskowin the old Salem camp ground. One word for Watson and the Tillamook country If you can believe any real estate man he has never sold a foot of property to anyone in that region that they have not made 50 to 100 per cent when It was resold. I be- lievo In real estato men In the good ones. They are doing more to advertise Oregon and create values than all other Influences combined'. They are the makers of Oregon. Thrco Tillamook Boosters. The Tillamook Mercantile Com pany has been established for 21 years. It was formerly a general merchandise business, but is now confined to flour and feed and groc eries, keeping a stock that is botli wholesale and retail. Mr. G. A.

Tillamook has a fino public school systom, with n new $12,000 High School Just completed. The city Is well supplied with churches, lodges and eoolnl life- is highly organlwd. Thoro Is not a more cordial and hospltablo community in the world Hum Is found here ns anyone can testify who, lias tasted tholr good cheer.

Tho Tillamook .Lumber Industry Is, strange to say It, only In Its infancy. One mill in the town cuts 35,000 feet a day, and has planers and dry kilns. The Tillamook Lum ber Manufacturing Co. cuts fir, spruce and hemlock, makes all kinds of building material, makes ooxes and fruit packers, and sells all Its product around the bay. Geo. B. Lamb Is manager, and W. B. Alderman is superintendent. There aro the Long sawmills In the city and on tho Tillamook river. Many sawmills are operated In the county and lumber and building materials are cheap. Thero Is an opening here with tho railroads and ocean ship ping coming in for a million dollar lumber plant at Tillamook and It 13 not far into the future when such a plaut will be hero. Has Good Hoods. Driving over Tillamook county, the homeseeker Is Impressed with the fact that here Is a county that has done a great deal to establish a reqord for good roads and bridges. It Is a fact that hero aro more miles of plank road, good gravel road, good mountain road, and some good crushed rock road than ono finds in tho oldor Willamette valley counties. Tho county Is very largo. The distances are Immense. The timber Is heavy, Labor of men and teams Is scarce. . The road system Is Imperfect. Contract built roads, like contract built bridges, lot to the lowest rosponslblo bidder who con tracts to build according to plans and specifications within a specified time and 'furnishes his own men and machinery are still a desideratum as yet unapproxlmated If wo know what that means. Good Roads Booster. Tillamook county has a good roads booster In tho person of Rolllo W. Watson, tho real estate pushor, townslto promoter and motorcar en thusiast. It is impossible to Imagine what a town like Tillamook would be without an omlssary like Watson to go out Into the world and tell of Its peerless merits and future pros pects.

He Is ono of the men who Is always ready to take hold and make things go for tho benefit of the community and Tillamook has no stauncher backer than Charley Clough. "Billy Stephens is one of the live wires and general hustlers for the development of Tillamook and the state of Oregon. He Is one of the best known men in that city and progressive boosters of Tillamook Oregonlans far and near know Billy Stephens. There is not a travelling man goes Into tho Tillamook coun try who does not visit his cigar store and soft drink parlor, and goes away saying good things for the proprietor. Two Tillamook Railroads. Tho United Railroads,, the Hill line, is building Into Tillamook as fast as men and money will con struct. It will extend on via Bay City around tho north beaches to Astoria nnd thus corrall tho sum mer resort business on this coast. Tho Pacific Railway and Navigation Corflpany, the Harrlman line, Is rushing its line through from near Forest Grove, is shipping in its rolling stock and will soon be oper ating to Vosburg east from Tilla mook. The coming of two railroads In to this section of Orogon Is send ing up values of land and business opportunities are offering here In every lino. This country Is destined to havo a great ln-rush of people. Good Steamer Service. This city has good sorvlce for freight nnd passlngers by water. Tho steamer Elmore, Capt. Paul Schrader, the steamer Oshkosh, Capt. T. Latham, the steamer Golden Gate, Capt. Branstetter, are making regular trips between Portland and Tillamook. These boats ensure low rates for transportation of neces sarlos of life. The Cheese Industry.
