YAMHILL COUNTY (IN 1916)
By Ruth Stoller
In 1916 the Passenger Depart-
men~ of the Southern Pacific
Company put out a booklet called
OREGON FOR THE SETTLER.
No doubt it was distributed east
of the Rocky Mountains in hopes
that it would attract move senders
to the West Coast where the
Southern Pacific had its tracks.
The booklet is full of many inter-
esting things and among them is
a description of Ymnkfl" 1 county:
YAMHIIL OO~
Yamhfll cotmty in the Willam-
ette Valley .has an area of 714
square miles. It includes .the wat-
ershed of the Yamhill River as
well as the Chehalem River. It
is one of the most fertile coun-
ties in the West. It was settled
in the early forties and original-
ly it was the bread ,basket of the
Willamette valley, raising much
of the grain raised here in the
early days. Now, however, the
one-time [~]Llnr fields have been
planted to prune orchards, berry
patches and walnu~ groves. Mc-
Minnville is its county seal The
county ranks first in the produc-
tion of wal~tuts and second in
prunes, third in cherries, quinc-
es, raspberries and loganberries.
In many places .the soil ~ 40 feet
deep and it is rich in potash and
is pecullarly adapted to the rais-
ing of fruits and nuts. Within the
county there are 20,000 acres of
logged-off ~]z~ds whose average
price is $25.00 per acre. Dairy-
ing is carried on extensively with-
in the county and large numbers
af cattle, ,hogs, sheep and goats
are raised.
One of the industries making
rapid strides in Yamhill county
is the growing of walnuts. With a
careful selection of the proper
varieties and an equaRy careful
selection of the location of the
grove with a view to the depth
and character of the soil, drain-
age, air drainage and other fea-
tures essential to the growth and
development of walnuts splendid
success can, be achieved with
walnuts in Yamidll county.
Costs Soar For City As
Controversy Continues Over Ap
Armther delay in construction
of homes in the Palmer Subdivi-
sion in Dayton developed last
Thursday when Attorney Herber
Anderson, on behalf of Fred
B~enz, filed an appeal to the city
planning commission's approval
of the tract.
The commission, following pub-
lic hearings, approved the plat
which was then subject to the
appeal action which by city ordi-
n`ance .had to be made within ten
days and reasons for the appeal
given in writing.
No reasons were listed in the
appeal filed by Mr. Bienz, but the
City Council "has scheduled an-
other public hearing on the sub-
division for 7:30 pro, Feb. 3 in
the City ~all.
Construction on the su,bdivi-
sion has been halted since last
June wharf a, suit was filed by
Mr. Bienz against the city. The
court held that the city had not
followed state regulations con-
cerning notification of affected
agencies.
The subdivision was first ap-
proved in December of 1974 and
ten homes were already buil`t
when the suit was institu`ted.
There are to be 52 residences in
the subdivision.
Since last June litigation and
revision of the plans ~have cost
Dayton city taxpayers an esti.
mated $7500, according .to city
officials. This includes attorney's
fees, court costs, engineering
advice, professional planain" g con-
