206 THE OREGON SPORTSMAN 

WHERE TO GO IN TILLAMOOK COUNTY 
By WARDEN C. W. LOUGHERY, Tillamook, Oregon 
few words to say in commendation of Tillamook County. In all 
my years of public service, I never saw such an ideal spot for a 
summer’s vacation. It is easy to reach by train or auto, being only 
about six miles to the county seat coming in over the old Sheridan 
road through the famous old Grand Ronde Indian Reservation, where 
the illustrious Phil Sheridan was once stationed, then on down three 
rivers to Hebo where you strike the big Nestucca River, which is 
justly famous for its trout fishing. But it does not need a word of

river, You may go down the river as far as Cloverdale and Pacific 
City, where there are excellent camping grounds. At this place you 
have the privilege of partaking of one of the justly famous chicken 
dinners, with all the trimmings, which the Edmunds prepare. The 
dinner itself being worth the trip here from Portland. In ease you 
should be going to the county seat, you go up the river from Hebo, 
turning at Beaver which is at the junction of the Beaver and 
Nestucca. There are fine camping grounds at this place and many 
camps here on account of its being sheltered. Also, the beach is 
handy from here, and fishing is good. From Beaver there is an excel- 
lent road to Tillamook, being about a sixteen miles’ journey. At 
Tillamook they give good hotel accommodations at a reasonable rate. 
You may have your choice of a half dozen places to fish from this 
place, being so near the Trask, Wilson and Kilehes Rivers and Foley 
Creek, on all of which you may obtain good transportation. The
