A Pioneer Grower.
w. G. King was the first to intro
duce and experiment with cranber-
ries in Tillamook county, and it will
not be out of place to mention what
he accomplished. He says:
II find that the vines are well
adopted to this climate. They grow
vigorously, and where the bogs are
properly prepared they are enorm-
ously productive. While picking one
of my crops, l measured off some
ground and picked them carefully,
and found that they produced at the
rate of one thousand bushels to the
acre. Allowing one dollar per bushel
as a net profit, 1 do not know of an
agricultural product that will COM
pare with it, and placing the net
profit at one dollar is placing figures
at the lowest.
"It costs from two to four hundred
dollars per acre to prepare the
ground and plant the vines, includ-
ing the cost of plants. The land
which has timber standing on it is
the most expensive to prepare, all
though none the less adapted to the
raising of cranberries so long as the
land is made up of vegetable muck
or peat.

it can be drained by means of bitches

the beautiful natural summer resorts
for which the county is famous.
Most beautiful of them all in loca-

is rapidly being transformed by
means of large investments of
capital.
There is at present a general

being improved by liberal expendi-
ture of money by the Neskowin Com

plenty of water for irrigation and

here are of a darker color than those

beautiful grill and reading rooms,

horses and commodious garage is

Preserving Natural Beauty.
The syndicate that has bought a
mile of the beach front at Neskowin
is pursuing a liberal policy toward
campers letting everybody have
free camping privileges. The natur-
al beauty-the trees and shrubs and
flowers-are being preserved. The
beach. morning glory, the sand
geranium, Marguerites, wild straw
berries, and white and red clover
literally perfume the air. The high
mountains here come right out to
the ocean and give grandeur and
picturesque effects.
Four acres have been set aside for
tent city and forty tents are being
erected and rented at low rates to
those who prefer camping. Nesko-
win is peculiarly sheltered from the
ocean winds. 1t STANDS in tho bend
of a crescent. To the south is Cas-
cade Head, a majestic promontory.
Grand Scenery Here.
To the north is Cape Lookout,
eight miles between, and half be-
tween the two is Haystack Rock a
mile out to sea. Only two narrow
creek canyons enter at Neskowin
and there is no great opening to
draw the winds. There is no great
bay or entrance to catch the sweep
of the northwest trades inland and
that accounts for the freedom of
these beaches from cold winds. That
is why so many flowers bloom on the
Camp City. When we were there
June 16, wild roses and sweet briar
were in bloom.
The old Salem campground is be-
ing cleared of old logs and rubbish
with a steam donkey engine. Streets
are laid off and being opened. A
pile driver is on the ground to put
pile bridges across the two creeks
that wind leisurely through the
townsite. These creeks are Nesko-
win, meaning in Indian tongue "the
Fishing Waters, or abundance of
fish. The other creek in the Kiwan-
da, or Hawk Creek.
Opening New Short Road.
From Little Nestucca to Dolph is
eight miles by road that is being
opened, by constructing two bridges,
which will be finished by August
1st. One bridge will be at Rocky
Ford and the other at the Yack
place. This will be eight miles to
Dolph and Is miles from Dolph TO
Neskowin. The distance from Dolph
to Neskowin now, via Hebo and

fine drive with wonderful scenery.
