A writer who has recently been in Pa
cifc County, W. T.. says that Ilwaco Ii
charmingly situated on the north shore
of Bakers bay, with a fine southern ex-
posure. almost perfectly sheltered from
all harsh and disagreeable winds by
thick forests of spruce, with an excellent
reputation for healthfulness, and re-
msrkable evenness of Temperature e.
Though the annual deposit of moisture
exceeds sevenfy-fiye inches, the rainfall
during the months Of July, August and
September. comprising the season Of ita
occupation az e Summer resort, seldom
interferes with its thorough enjoyment
as such. Already the campers are arriv-
ing, and they will scarcely find a more
desirable place to pitch their tents. Tie
soil is light sandy loan, quickly absorb
ing moisture, never muddy, and covered
with groves VI spruce just dense enough
70 afford agreeable and healthful shade.
There are many places Of interest with
in easy walking distance: the United
States garrison Of Fort Candy occupying
a delightful situation in sheltered
cove two miles eastward. Just beyond,
upon the summit of a rocky promonto-
~, the fort, its guns commanding the
entrance to the magnificent Columbia;
and little further on, the Cape Han
cock lighthouse, from which point, if
the day be clear, the visitor will obtain
an ocean and iuiaud view of exceeding
grandeur. good road leads through a
forest of spruce to Seayiew, two miles;
and from thence along a splendid beach
for eighteen miles to Oysterville on
Shoaiwater bay, and another seven
miles to its southern shore.
Further on is Long Beach. abou: five
miles from the cape, and the beginning
VI the Shoalwater bay peninsula, mar
row strip Of beach, upland meadow and
tide land, varying FROM one to two miles
in width. with an average elevation of
about twelve feet above high water, and
extending twenty miles north to the en-
trance of the bay. Six men own and oc-
cupy the first ten miles. Mr.. Tinker,
$50 acres; John Br;scoe and Captain Es-
tabroOk, pioneers of 1853, the former 800
and the latter 1CU acres: and then L. A.
Loomis and T.. Il. LOomis, over 4 thous-
and more. having q frontage of thr,e
miles on the ocean, and embracing one
Of the choicest portions Of the peninsu-
Ia. Their residence and farm buildings
occupy very pleasant divide, gently
sloping both ocean and hayward and
covered with n fne growth of Scotch
pine. These lands are devoted chiefly to
dairying and stOckraising, for which
they are we'll adapted. The butter made
here is of excellent quality, the COWS
