Almanac 2022
Tillamook County T
illamook County was established Dec. 15, 1853, on lands previously part of Clatsop, Yamhill and Polk Counties. It was the 12th county in Oregon to be recognized. Its name comes from the Killamuk Indians, who were native to the area. In 1866, the town of Lincoln was renamed Tillamook to stay consistent with the post office’s name. In 1889, a courthouse was built, which was destroyed by a fire in 1903. Only the county clerk’s vault and its stored records were saved. A new courthouse was built at the same site in 1905 and replaced again in 1933. The county encompasses seven incorporated cities and three school districts. There are more than 380 miles of roads under county jurisdiction. Tillamook County’s 1,125 square miles include nine rivers, four bays and 75 miles of coastline. The county’s thousands of acres of forested hills offer opportunities for hunting, camping and off-road vehicles. Its wetlands ae home to a large variety of animals, fish and birds. The State of Oregon, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, the U.S. Forest Service, County of Tillamook and private timber companies control more than 90% of the land. The Tillamook State Forest is a key aspect of the county’s economy. The 500,000-acre forest was replanted after being wiped out by disastrous fires in the 1930’s and

1940’s. Those trees have now begun to come of age, helping to drive growth in timber harvesting and processing and supporting local education through timber revenues. The Port of Tillamook Bay boasts the largest industrial park on the Oregon coast. The industrial park encompasses 1,600 acres of land zoned for airport and industrial use. It’s the site of the former U.S. Naval Air Station, which was home to one of the blimp squadrons that patrolled the Pacific Coast during World War II, now home to the Tillamook Air Museum. Tillamook County continues to offer an abundance of seafood, from clams to Dungeness crab to salmon. Approximately 200 miles of navigable water exist. In 1987, as part of an amended Clean Water Act, the National Estuary Program was created. This innovative program finds solutions to environmental problems in at-risk estuaries. The Estuary Programs conduct scientific assessments in estuarine watersheds that identify priority problems and issues, bring local stakeholders to the table to craft strategies and solutions, and coordinate the work of many partners to implement those solutions. Reflecting their agricultural roots, native residents cherish its pioneer heritage; descendants of pioneer families continue to be leaders in the community.
Diverse Agriculture Activity I
t’s often said that Tillamook County has more cows than people. And if you looked only at the thousands of dairy animals dotting the landscape, you might be tempted to believe that dairy is the county’s only agricultural activity. But Tillamook County’s agriculture, while certainly dominated by dairy, nonetheless is quite diverse. According to U.S. Census data, there were 333 farms of all types in Tillamook County in 2002, covering 39,526 acres,
or 28 percent of the land. In 2012, the number dipped to 280 farms. Of the 333 farms in 2002, 146 were devoted to dairy; 83 raised beef cattle; and 75 had cattle, sheep, hogs, chickens, goats, aquaculture or some other form of animal production. In addition, there were 13 greenhouse or nursery operations, with 148,000 square feet under glass, and 24 farms that raising various crops. The average net cash income per farm was $75,301. In 2002, 159 farms reported they employed a total of 839 workers, with a combined payroll of $9.2 million. The Census reported that the average farm size in Tillamook County was 119 acres. Four farms covered 1,000 acres or more. The largest grouping, which accounted for 143 operations in 2002, consisted of farms between 50 and 179 acres in size. The total value of all agricultural products sold in 2012 was $117,141,000, with the average amount per farm being $418,361. Photo provided by Metro Creative The average farm size grew to 131 acres.
According to the Census, the value of dairy products sold totaled $79.2 million. The sale of cattle and calves added another $5.1 million. According to Oregon State University (OSU), the value of the county’s agricultural products had risen to $99 million by 2004. OSU estimated the value of dairy products sold from Tillamook County in 2004 to be $99 million.
Dairy History
According to Oregon state archives, the dairy industry began in Tillamook County in the 1860s. By the 1870s, there were large herds on the prairies and river bottoms. Farmers were shipping 60-pound kegs of butter to western Yamhill County on packhorses. By 1890, the dairy industry in Tillamook County was second only to lumbering. In 1909, the farmers of 10 Tillamook County cheese factories formed a cooperative to control cheese quality. By 1968, all of the cheese factories in Tillamook County had consolidated and cheese making became centralized at the present-day site, built in 1949.

Ports of Tillamook County
The Port of Tillamook Bay The Port of Tillamook Bay The Port of Tillamook Bay boasts the largest industrial park on the Oregon coast. The industrial park encompasses 1,600 acres of land zoned for airport and industrial use. It’s the site of the former U.S. Naval Air Station Tillamook, which was home to one of the blimp squadrons that patrolled the Pacific Coast during World War II. The industrial park generates roughly $2.5 million a year in revenue for the district and operates on a $5-6 Million dollar budget. The Port has many areas: distribution of water, wastewater, stormwater, roads, buildings, admin, air museum, airport, septage receiving, and railroad. Access to fiber optic cable is throughout the park. The Naval Air Station facility consisted of two massive blimp hangars, administrative, and residential quarters and more than 1,600 acres of land. The station was decommissioned in 1948 and has evolved into the core of Tillamook County’s industrial sector in the 70 years since. The Port also owns most of the right of way on the former Southern Pacific line over the Coast range, which was built between 1906 and 1911. It stretched 95 miles from Tillamook, up the coast to Wheeler, then east through the Coast Range to the Portland area. It hugged the mountainsides along the Salmonberry River and included river crossings and wooden trestles – some 200 feet high. Currently, there is no freight on the rail line, but the Port still operates the rail yard in Banks. The Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad leases over 40 miles on the coast side of the rail for their excursions, and the Port recently has leased the right of way to the Salmonberry Trail Intergovernmental Agency (STIA) with the intent for STIA to create the Salmonberry Trail system – on the east side it would be rails to trails, but on the west side, rails with trails, and have the rails and trails co-exist. Additionally, the Port operates the Tillamook Air Museum. www.tillamookair.com. See more information,
below and in this Almanac. The Port currently has warehousing, manufacturing areas, airplane hangars, and office space available for lease, along with acreage ranging from under an acre 70 acres in size, most of those parcels with utilities. More information on what is available can be found at www.potb.org. The Port’s tenant roster includes Tillamook Coast Visitors Association, Near Space Corporation, Stimson Lumber Co., FedEx, UPS, Frito Lay, Cruser Tunes, Coleman Auto Repair, Sierra Springs, Stowaway Gourmet, 24/7 Auto, Food Roots, Tillamook BioGas, NRCS, SWCD, OWRD, and Silkwood Fitness, among others. Stay tuned for the development of a PDGA competition disc golf course, coming soon!

The Port of Garibaldi
The Port of Garibaldi is the closest seaport to Portland and was estab-
lished in 1910. The port is home to key businesses in the city of Garibaldi, as well as the U.S. Coast Guard, which has operated a lifesaving station in Garibaldi since the 1930s. (It was originally located at Barview.). Port property also houses an RV park, restaurants, fishing charters, shrimp, crab and fish processing facilities, a lumber mill and recreational businesses along with an events tent that houses music acts during Garibaldi Days. The marina at Garibaldi has moorage for 300 vessels and serves as the base of operations for several commercial fishermen and charter operations. The marina also has a public boat launch for people wishing to fish, crab or get to the Pacific Ocean. Port property also features the Garibaldi Lions Club’s Lumbermen’s Park and an antique train display. A port-area walking path is a popular draw for local residents as well as visitors. A $16.1-million federal stimulus funding project capped the Tillamook Bay north jetty, thereby improving bar conditions for boats entering the ocean. In the summer of 2009, crews dredged the entrance to the Garibaldi harbor. That work was financed with $700,000 in stimulus funds. In 2013-14, the Port of Garibaldi’s Commercial Avenue wharf was rebuilt – from the water up. The wharf had been in use since the 1940s.
The Port of Nehalem
Established in 1909 the Port of Nehalem played a primary roll in maintaining the navigation channel and the Nehalem River markers. This mission was to help sustain the environment of the Nehalem River. Well-managed port assistance enhances the health, navigability, safety and provide residents, visitors and fishermen accessibility of the Nehalem River. The port’s key issues are dredging, channel marking and maintenance.

Tillamook County Fairgrounds T
he Tillamook County Fairgrounds was established in 1891, initially at a site on Third Street near what is now the downtown area. It moved to its current 68-acre site in 1928. In addition to choreographing the annual county fair, the fairgrounds host many public events and community activities. There are 27 buildings, including the main exhibit hall, a convention center and auditorium with a commercial kitchen, tennis courts and roller skating rink. There are four livestock barns, horse stables, indoor and outdoor riding arenas, 4-H dormitory with kitchen, assorted service structures, and a half-mile racetrack with grandstand seating for 4,000 spectators. The county fair is the biggest annual draw to the fairgrounds, but the facilities bustle year-round. It was highlighted as one of the 10 best county fairs in the nation by USA Today in 2010. An annual highlight is the Pig ‘N’
Fairgrounds is the Tillamook County Rodeo in June; Bulls & Broncs in March; The black and white, Jersey and Holstein state show; holiday and Spring craft bazaars; Gun & Knife show and the Headlight Herald’s ‘Home and Garden Show’ in April. Numerous other organizations host dinner and auction banquets throughout the year. The fairgrounds provide multiple rental facilities for meetings, weddings, Quinceanera’s, birthday & Skate parties, Jeep rallies, car shows and swap meets. We have space for almost any Occasion. Ford races, an event involving Model T Fords and live pigs that has to be seen to be believed. Another crowd favorite is the daily series of live Pari Mutuel horse racing followed by three nights of top rated mainstage entertainment and a Demolition derby for the finale. All of which are Free with your paid admission. Fun for the whole family. Among the largest public events held at the

Tillamook Bay Community College T
illamook Bay Community College campus at the east edge of town is more than a state-of-the-art educational facility, say local officials. It’s another example of what state Senator Betsy Johnson calls Tillamook’s renaissance. Tillamook County voters approved a $9.9-million public bond measure in May 2007, with a $4.9-million state match, to fund the community college’s construction, in addition to creating planned satellite facilities in north and south Tillamook County, which opened in 2013. The college provides postsecondary education and career technical training and offers: Associate of Applied Science degrees, transfer college credit, continuing education and non-credit courses that support workforce training, and pre-college learning, English for Speakers of Other Languages, and GED preparation courses. In 2015, the TBCC Board of Education met with local partners, donors, local and state officials and community members to break ground on the new
Partners for Rural Innovation Building. The Partners building, located on Third Street across from the Tillamook County Fairgrounds, opened in February of 2017. It is the new home of OSU Extension Service, OSU Open Campus, provides the classroom space for TBCC’s Agriculture and Natural Resources degree program and has offices for Tillamook County Economic Development, TBCC’s Small Business Development
Center and Visit Tillamook Coast. The building brings together the county’s agricultural and natural resource educators and economic and business development partners under one roof to gain a more effective system of collaborative resource sharing. Together they support innovation, entrepreneurialism, job readiness and post-secondary degree attainment for citizens of Tillamook County.

performances, film screenings and readings from authors, as well as an ongoing clay program and writing lounge. Laneda Avenue, which runs through the downtown from U.S. Route 101 to the beach, features an array of restaurants and shops catering to tourists. The name “Manzanita” means “little apple” in Spanish. This came from the many Manzanita plants that covered the hillsides and bears fruit that looks like a little apple.

ehalem, incorporated in 1899, was named forthe Nehalem Tribe also known as the Tillamook people. In the native Salishan languages Nehalem means “place where people live.” The Nehalem River flows in all four of the northwest counties of Oregon and cuts completely through the Coast Range. The first bold point extending to the sea north of Nehalem Bay is Neahkahnie Mountain. The Nehalem post office was established in 1871, with Samuel Corwin as first postmaster. When John M. Alley was postmaster in 1884, the name was changed to Onion Peak. By this time the office was some miles north up the valley of North Fork Nehalem River and it was named for the nearby mountain, Onion Peak. A new post office with the name Nehalem was established in 1884 at or near the present community. Mohler, located a few miles south of Nehalem, made its appearance as “Balm” when that post office was established in 1897. In 1911, the
name was changed to Mohler. The change is said to have been made at the request of E. E. Lytle, who built the Pacific Railway and Navigation Company line into that part of Tillamook County. The station and post office were named in compliment to A. L. Mohler, a prominent railroad official and one-time president of the Union Pacific. Nehalem merchants and residents have worked hard in recent years to create a tourist-friendly downtown featuring gift shops and restaurants. In addition, access to the river is available at several waterfront parks. Boating and fishing are popular attractions to the area. Local attractions include antiquing and shopping at the downtown shops, Nehalem Bay Winery, swimming at the Nehalem Community Center and watching a play at Riverhouse Players Theater. Nehalem Bay State Park is a popular spot for camping, hiking and horseback riding.

T
he City of Wheeler began as a mill town, but today is known as “the little town with the million-dollar view.” The town was named for C.H. Wheeler, who founded the Wheeler Lumber Company in 1910. The community prospered in its early years because of its location along the railroad line that ran from the City of Tillamook into the Willamette Valley. Wheeler is a quiet town where one instantly experiences the beautiful setting along Nehalem Bay with views of Neahkahnie Mountain and plenty of fresh air from the ocean nearby. Fishing and crabbing are popular in the area, and the old train depot in Wheeler is a stop for the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad.

I n 1884 L.C. Smith named Barview for its specular view of the en-
trance of Tillamook Bay. Barview is where Tillamook Bay meets the Pacific Ocean and is the site of the county’s largest park, Barview Jetty County Park. Made up of three communities Tillamook County, Twin Rocks and Watseco. The Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad winds through the area that encompasses about 250 acres. In 1908 Victor Mindeleff designed the Tillamook Life Changing Station, which provided assistance to any distressed mariners. During World War II the property went into private ownership and is the only station still remaining in all of Oregon.

ay City, which commands a gorgeous view of Tillamook Bay, has made a conscious decision to focus its planning on permanent residents, rather than part-time, second-home developments. With a population of about 1,675 residents, it’s one of the larger residential communities in the county. One of the most prominent buildings in town is the Bay City United Methodist Church, which was dedicated in 1893. The building still looks much as it did 110 years ago. Another notable structure is the Bay City Arts Center, which is home to an array of events, classes and community gatherings. One of the highlights of Bay City is Kilchis Point Reserve, roughly 200 acres along Tillamook Bay owned by the Tillamook County Pioneer Museum who holds the property in the public trust. It is a Tillamook County heritage site with an interpretive kiosk illustrating its historical importance as the site of one of the largest permanent Native American villages on the Northern Oregon Coast.
The reserve also protects a unique ecosystem containing a wide variety of vegetation and wildlife. ADA accessible, the reserve features two miles of trails and Caitlin Heusser Bird Watching Station. With restrooms and picnic area, Kilchis Point Reserve is a family and dog-friendly exercise destination for hikes and cycling. In 1851, Tillamook County’s first pioneer settler, Joe Champion came to Kilchis Point. Chief Kilchis allowed him to reside in a spruce stump there while he constructed a cabin. Later on, the first ship built in Tillamook County, Morning Star, was built at Kilchis Point. It was the first ship registered in the Oregon Territory. Fitting into northwest logging history, from 1919 to 1927, Kilchis Point was the site of the Whitney Lumber Company. Each August Bay City’s Pearl & Oyster Music Festival is held with proceeds going into the fund to develop Watt Family Park, the former site of Bay City School. Geared as a family-friendly event, the two-day festival features live music, a beer and wine garden, food and craft vendors and a community resource fair.

Tillamook State Forest is a key aspect of the county’s economy. The 500,000-acre forest was replanted after being wiped out by disastrous fires in the 1930’s and 1940’s. Those trees have now begun to come of age, helping to drive growth in timber harvesting and processing and supporting local education through timber revenues. The Port of Tillamook Bay boasts the largest industrial park on the Oregon coast. The industrial park encompasses 1,600 acres of land zoned for airport and industrial use. It’s the site of the former U.S. Naval Air Station, which was home to one of the blimp squadrons that patrolled the Pacific Coast during World War II, now home to the Tillamook Air Museum. Tillamook County continues to offer an abundance of seafood, from clams to Dungeness crab to salmon. Approximately 200 miles of navigable water exist. In 1987, as part of an amended Clean Water Act, the National Estuary Program was created. This innovative program finds solutions to environmental problems in at-risk estuaries. The Estuary Programs conduct scientific assessments in estuarine watersheds that identify priority problems and issues, bring local stakeholders to the table to craft strategies

In 1866, the town of Lincoln was renamed Tillamook to stay consistent with the post office’s name. In 1889, a courthouse was built, which was destroyed by a fire in 1903. Only the county clerk’s vault and its stored records were saved. A new courthouse was built at the same site in 1905 and replaced again in 1933. The county encompasses seven incorporated cities and three school districts. There are more than 380 miles of roads under county jurisdiction. Tillamook County’s 1,125 square miles include nine rivers, four bays and 75 miles of coastline. The county’s thousands of acres of forested hills offer opportunities for hunting, camping and off-road vehicles. Its wetlands ae home to a large variety of animals, fish and birds.

ocated nine miles west of Tillamook, unincorporated Oceanside covers approximately 372 acres and counts among its residents artists, craftsmen, writers and musicians. The community had a population of 546 as of the 2019 Census. Because of the beauty of the area, Oceanside and neighboring Netarts have witnessed steady residential growth in recent years. The local sanitary sewer district just completed a major building project to replace aging equipment and expand capacity to meet future needs. The town is home to a beachfront restaurant, storage facilities, a coffee shop, a tavern, motels and bed and breakfast establishments. Most of what is now Oceanside belonged to the Maxwell family, who farmed the land until 1921, when they sold 330 acres to the Rosenberg brothers. The Rosenbergs set out to establish a town, dividing the tract into small lots for cabins and tents. Then came roads, a dance hall, a skating rink, a general store, a cafe and a tavern. Rental cottages and private homes soon followed. In the 1950s, building proceeded up the hillsides. The 1960s saw tracts built next to the town, which are now neighborhoods known as Camelot, Terrasea, Avalon and Avalon heights. During the past 20 years, Ocean Pines and The Capes were developed. Downtown Oceanside has a full-service post office, a fire station and a community center that is used for a variety of events. More than half the homes in Oceanside are second homes. In 1998, community volunteers met to draft an

Oceanside Community Plan. The group developed the following mission statement: “Oceanside’s ideal is to safeguard our natural resources and preserve those elements of our community that enrich the spirit and quality of life for those living and visiting here.” The group placed high value on such community assets as scenic ocean and bay vistas, abundant vegetation and wildlife and serenity and privacy. They specified that future development in the area should strive to preserve the “rustic coastal village atmosphere,” the natural resources and the beauty of Oceanside for the benefit of residents, visitors and future generations. The area features Three Arch Rocks National Wildlife Refuge, Cape Meares State Scenic Viewpoint and the Cape Meares Lighthouse. Oceanside Beach has a tunnel through Maxwell Point. During low tide, the tunnel provides access to Tunnel Beach on the other side.

Department of Aviation. Tillamook County Transportation District has two bus stops in Pacific City, offering bus service to Tillamook. Much of what is Pacific City was originally a dairy farm. Hunting, trapping and fishing, clamming, and mink farming provided other turn-of-the-century means of income. Sport and commercial salmon fishing always played a significant role. Fishing in the ocean began with 20-foot dory boats rowed out through the surf at Cape Kiwanda. The dory fleet boomed to 600 boats in the 1960s with the community employing five boat builders. The nearby community of Woods developed before Pacific City, offering a general store, drug store, Rebekah Lodge, sawmill, cabinet shop, photography gallery, postmaster and two weekly newspapers. Pacific City was originally called Ocean Park and was homesteaded by Thomas Malaney, who platted the town in 1883 along the south bank of the river directly across from Woods. Malaney’s family sold a number of lots, but before anyone could build, a flood covered the area in 1894. The flood resulted in moving the town to higher ground just down the river. Pacific City was also the site of the renowned “Brooten Baths,” a spa where, for the first quarter of the 20th century, thousands came seeking relief from their illnesses using kelp baths. From 1880 to 1926, the Pacific City area equaled or exceeded many other coastal centers in population. Some of these visitors decided to settle permanently in
the secluded coastal town, building rows of cottages along the river front and along the town’s four unpaved streets. A hand-operated ferry at Woods that carried automobiles and passengers and a boat ferry in Pacific City were the only way across the river before 1916 when a foot bridge was built. Two other bridges followed, including a drawbridge for masted ships. A cannery operated at the mouth of the river. In 1950, the airport was dedicated, dune grass was planted to stabilize the sand dunes along the shoreline, and a rock road was built to Cape Kiwanda. The first Dory Derby was held in 1959 and continues every summer to this day. In 1973, Barney McPhillips offered all of Cape Kiwanda and the land along McPhillips Drive for sale. The McPhillips family had owned the Cape and uplands for 100 years. The State Parks Division refused to purchase the Cape because of hazards to hikers, but an appropriation from the legislature and pressure from Governor McCall forced a compromise, deeding the Cape proper to the public. In 1980, an area was sold to Thousand Trails. Today, Pacific City is still famous as the home of the Dory Fleet and the annual Dory Days Festival. Just to the north of Pacific City is the U.S. Forest Service’s Sandlake Recreation Area, a popular destination for off-roading. Bob Straub Park is the best access for pedestrians to explore the spit at the Big Nestucca and is less crowded than the popular Cape Kiwanda State Park. Pacific City’s beaches are perfect for beach combing for agates, sand dollars, hermit crabs and more.

here are only a few oceanfront communities on the Oregon Coast that aren’t located directly on heavily traveled U.S. 101, and Pacific City – with a population of about 1,000 – is one of them. The highway travels inland several miles, skirting Tillamook Bay and bypassing several quaint communities along the Three Capes Scenic Loop. Pacific City sits at the very south end of that loop, about three miles from U.S. Route 101. Pacific City has a strong tourism-based economy and is famous as the home of the Pacific City Dory Fleet and the annual Dory Festival (held annually in July). Just off its spectacular oceanfront is Haystack Rock, one of three similarshaped monoliths which punctuate the Oregon Coast. Cape Kiwanda, the southernmost of the “Three Capes,” offers stunning ocean views and an all-day sand dune adventure for those hardy enough for a steep climb in soft sand. Pacific City is also home to Robert Straub State Park and the confluence of the Big and Little Nestucca Rivers. Though it’s an unincorporated community, Pacific City offers amenities such as a post office, a branch of the Tillamook County Public Library, numerous churches, and a medium-sized supermarket. There’s also a hardware store, a medical center, gas station and deli-mart, many motels, campgrounds and RV parks, restaurants, a community center (with weekly Bingo games), a brewpub, a wine shop, real estate agencies and many shops. The community is served by the 1,875-foot-long Pacific City State Airport, owned and maintained by Oregon

Tillamook County International Police Museums
T
he mission of the international police museum (IPM) is to collect, preserve, and exhibit police history with the goal to foster understanding, appreciation, and respect for law enforcement through demystification of uniforms, methods, and equipment. The museum brings people up close to policing a profession often seen
an accident, and much more. Children enjoy IPM’s “Find a Bear” game and the hands-on opportunity to learn about fingerprinting. There are interactive opportunities and visitors may even get a souvenir photo behind the original jail cell bars from Oregon’s Rocky Butte Jail. Some feature displays are changed quarterly so there is always something new to see and learn. Past displays have featured the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and Women in Policing. Current displays include forensic odontology (dentistry) for identification of human remains, police communications, and bloodalcohol level detection. Museum admission is free but donations are gratefully accepted. IPM has no paid employees, and all donations go to supporting and enhancing the museum. Follow us on Facebook (International Police Museum - Rockaway Beach, OR - USA) and the web at www.internationalpolicemuseum.org. The museum’s new location is in Rockaway Beach.
only through the eyes of television or from a distance. The museum gives people an opportunity to see the dramatic evolution of over 185 years of professional policing in America and around the world. IPM is handicap accessible, child friendly, and provides visitors of all ages a chance to learn about evidence collection, how a polygraph works, how fingerprints are taken, what kind of instrument us used to detect radiation after

A Proud Beginning
Headlight Herald
The first message from the Editor in the first issue of the Tillamook Headlight, June 8, 1888:
T
o our patrons:
After some four weeks of extensive delay we are enabled to present to the people of Tillamook county the first paper printed within her borders. The Tillamook Headlight is here as a permanent fixture, and its future developments and success will depend largely on the liberality of patronage from the citizens whose cause it has undertaken to espouse. We will,
as time advances, enlarge our paper to meet the demand of business which is sure to follow the rapid immigration now heading for Tillamook county – sturdy farmers, solid business men and capitalists who are seeking to enhance their wealth by proper investments in a county of great promises. For the years past and gone Tillamook has remained dormant, dependent upon outside people to herald its
wealth and its worth, which, to say the least is unknown and untold, but now, as the Headlight grows older, and becomes better acquainted, the county possesses no merit but which shall be sung in tones of echoed splendor until the reverberation shall be daught [sic] up in the most nethermost parts of the earth, and the name become synonymous to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We bespeak a lib-
eral, open hearted patronage, and the greater liberality bestowed the greater benefits will be accrued. Roll in your subscriptions – your money – your aid – counsel and your well wishes, and the Headlight will have achieved its greatest aim and object. Respectfully, C.E. Wilson & Co.
“Be honest, be just, and fear not. Hew to the line, and let the chips fall where they may.” - Tillamook Headlight, 1888
