Ninety-five per cent of all the available dairy land in the Nehalem district is uncleared and awaiting settlement. .There is much uncleared land on the hillsides suitable, too, for grazing, and doubtless much of this land will prove valuable for general farming. A large portion of the merchantable Tillamook timber is tributary to Ne— halem Bay. Twenty-five billion feet of splendid fir, spruce and cedar must come down the Nehalem River for shipment and manufacture. Another source of income in the Nehalem Bay region is the packing" of salmon. During the season of 1911, the two canneries on the bay packed 40,000 cases, and more than 500 tierces of cold-storage salmon, mostly Chinook and Silversides. Inexhaustible banks of cod and halibut are located but five miles off shore. The presence of indications peculiar to oil—bearing sections has led to the supposition that there are possible deposits of oil in the Nehalem peninsula. Re- search has been carried forward with more or less gratifying results. An oil well scarcely two miles from the town of Nehalem is down 1400 feet, and a Page'26 NEAH-KAll-NIE MOUNTAIN AND NEHALEM One Obtains a Fair Conception of the Tremendous Latent Wealth in the Nehaiem Forests.

Coal deposits of uncertain extent and value have been located northwest of the town. A company, formed some years ago, carried forward development work sufficient to establish the fact that a very good grade of bituminous coal could be obtained with but little difficulty. The find was located in a rather isolated and inaccessible ravine, but so soon as the value of the deposit is ascer- tained further work will undoubtedly be pushed. GOOD ROADS A FEATURE Good roads radiate in every direction in the Nehalem country. The citizens take a pride in their highways and have spared no expense in making substantial roadbeds of easy grade. There are many miles of macadamized county roads. NEHALEM BAY AND CITY Nehalem Bay is the coming center of water shipping on the Tillamook Coast. There is at present eighteen feet of water at the bar, at high tide, and with the Page 27 , OCR Text: NEAH—KAH-NIE MOUNTAIN AND NEHALEM Eventually.lWhere}Herefthe‘Sheep’Graze.
