Afford .More Opiiortuultlea to Man
Who W4.nU to Place Ilia Money.
Tho unborn Instinct and strong de
sire of mankind Is to have and own
lioinoa. In the older settled portions
of the United States It Is very dlfll
cult, if not Impossible, for the aver
age toiler to accumulate sufliclent
mouns to buy a home and this condi
tion Is becoming more pronounced
Willi eacli passing year. '
The door of opportunity for all'
such swIugB outward toward Colum-'
Dla county, the land of plenty, de
lightful nights, a climate that la ail
that ono could wish for. Columbia
county Is noted for its health-producing
climate; it has the advantage
or the mountuln climate, there is1
neither extreme cold nor excessive1
heat.
The grout stute of Oregon stands
alreudy upon too secure a plane of
progress to need the boasts of friends.
Her pOKltlon In the galaxy of Ameri
can Htatea Is secure for all time to
come. In many respectB she offers
greater advantages to the homeaeek
er and Investor than any other por
tion of our greut republic, and that
her citizens are enjoying a far greater
degree of prosperity than other por
tions of the nation Is evidenced by
StUtiHtiCS.
If you are a homeseeker or an In
vestor you are looking for a place
where you can get tho moat for your
money, that Is, where you can get
the best returns in cash, together
with most to be had of comfort and
pleasure, turn to Columbia county.
Columbia county has for a long time
bueu looked upon as a lumber sec
tion; thla Is still a great lumber
county; her lands still produce mil
lions of feet of timber, but in the
past few years the valleys of rich
soil huve been made productive.
Evory yeur Bees the production greut
ly Increased, und there are still many
thousund acres of the richest land in
the world waiting men with energy
and some capital to come and stir
the ground, sow the seed, plant the
frnil trnpa anil rami a rlph linrvpiit 1
Where Intensive terming or good
common sense farming have been
employed, the results have been high
ly satisfactory every season.
Where can tills section be matched
for dairying?
Truck farming ventures are uni
formly successful. Large returns are
being made every season and but few
spefilalsts have yet entered the field.
.fflf. othor county In the state has
shown greater advancement during
the punt few years than has Colum
bia county. And the National Bureau
of Agriculture gives out figures which
show that In all products of tho soil
this county bIiows us groat a yield
per acre us any other center in the
state. In thla county properties of
the soil, the climatic conditions, tho
sunshine, the rainfall, brings the best
posslblo results, both In yield and
quality of products. N
In summing up, one will see that
here Is to be found a county with
rainfall adequate for all crops, with
a productive soil, with water of ex
cellent quality and Inexhaustible bup
ply; with a climate unsurpassed for
hpalthfulness; with excellent schools
and churches, with a good fruit rec
ord; with good small grain yields,
whore a great profit la mado in cat
tle and hogs; whore one can have
every variety of vegetables wished;
with mild winters, pleasant summers;
where 'one can locate and acquire
wealth from the products of the soil;
where good lands are still clieap,
where the ground floor opportunities
have not all been taken; where a ma t
of moderate meuns can acquire a
home.
There is to be found In this county
a country that affords more oppor
tunities, not ulone to the homeseeker.
but to any man who wanta to place
bis money where It will bring the
greatest returns, than can be founii
anywhere In the West.
St. Helena la one of the ravoreo
Bpots. It is as desirable a place to
live as any city in the United States,
llor schools are of the beat, with a
standard High School.
While scenery dooa not add any
thing to the quality of the soil, nor
to the productiveness of the products,
nevertheless It adds beauty to the
surroundings of our home. The nt.
Holens district la In one of the moat
beautiful sections In Oregon "the
place to establish your permanent
abode your home." In the not far
dlHtant future, St. Helens la destined
to become tho great center of this
section; her future Is full of prom
