City by the Sea- where he had
been to make a thorough investira-
ton of the possibilities OF the cltv
and country that Is destined within
a few short months to command the
attention, not only OF every eastern
homeseeker in the west, but the in
terest Of westerners as well. Ehat

Of So.
Mr.. Taylor went from Portland u
Roseberg by rail, driving from the

get an adequate idea of the country
that win soon be called upon to snp.
port the thriving place now I'M the
first stages Of organization. There
are now eight buildings on the town
site in Pacific City, and many Others
are contemplated. The Port Oxford

In operation.
In speaking of his impression of
Pacific City upon his return, MIR.
Taylor said:
i could talk for hours and stilI
not begin to describe the wonderful
resources, the possibilities and the
advantages of that favored spot. /
could I'LL newspapers with a graphic
description Of what saw ON my first
visit, and still the tale would not
half be told. Floras lake is the
prettiest body Of water on the coast,
or in the west. The weather Is iine
throughout the year. have lived ii
Walla Walla for IL years past, but
the weather in Curry county has this
weather beaten two to one. Cedar
forests surround the townsite, and
are in fact on the townsite, but
throughout the surrounding countEy
farmers have cleared much land, and
dairying is now the principal indus
try, five creameries being in opera
tion at the present time.
II have no special interest ii
boosting the country there, except
that own few lots. would rec
ommend that any doubtful ones pay
vasit to the place II they would be
convinced. Vegetables and fruits 81
all kinds are grown in great abund-
aace, some of the finest fruit / have
even eaten in the west having been
enjoyed while was at Pacific City.
1t is bound to be great city within
a comparatively short time and only
those who are conversant with rapid
city building in this great west can
adequately determine the short per-
iod that will be required to place
Pacific City among the leading coast
cities Of the Pacific. From the stand
point of a summer resort, IL nothing
more. the property will double in
price, and that within the next year.
1t is the greatest country have ever
seen and I'm not certain that am
satisfied with the number Of lots !

Mr.. Taylor was induced to pay
visit to Pacific City by the Sci"

Realty company, exclusive agent for
the townsite lots in this section. He
reported to them that the country
was all, and more, than they had
Claimed for it, and no more loyal .
boster could be found for the new
metrolopis of the west.
