That It had a large and productive terri tory to draw froni Its lumber ship ments alone amounted during 1919 to more than $250,000. The dairying business in this suction is a great as set, not alone to Scappoose. but to Columbia county and the business is in excess of that of the lumber busi ness. During the past few years. Scappoose has grown from an unlm- ' portant village of 100 to a live busi ness center r.nd has around 4 00 peo-i pie. The building of the highway through Scappoose end the paving of, the road makes of Scappoose practic ally a suburb of Portland, as by ma chine it Is quicker to reach the busi ness portion ot Portland than it Is for one living In the far suburbs of; Portland to reach the place of his em ployment. Many of the public spirit ed citizens of Scnppoose think that when they can offer tho city folks the conveniences of the city, that Scap poose will be the homo of many who are employed In Portland. Another f?.ct, which is of considerable interest and importance Is brought out. The Portland & Southwestern R. It. are extending their line into Nehalem and, in the course of a few years Scappoose will be an important junc tion point. There is also a prospect that the wagon road or highway mny be pushed on until it recahes the t II Walls . . . ... o. ii. v,.,; Elizabeth Matilda Nessly was born Zt"r i i. ! .-.".
