UNION COUNTY Union County presents to the home seeker a greater number of diversified industries than any county in the state, out side of Multnomah county which Is practically Portland. . We do not believe that there is another county in the Inland Empire that can show fourteen different industries whose total annual revenue produces an average of $193,ooo.oo cash. The annual report of the State labor Commissioner, places Union County third in the state, in the employment of labor It requires 194 solid trains of fourtv cars each to carr the produce of our county to the market, more than a train every other day throughout the year. "An admirable climate." The past winter only for a few hours did the mercury reach zero. ,No excessive heat in the summer and our cool refreshing nights cannot be appreciated by the residents of the east until the are permitted to enjoy them. ' Our soil is rich and productive. Were we to mention ields they would not be believed. The only way to become acquainted with this "Garden of Eden" is to personl visit this land of diversity, as when you see the crops growing and harvested they speak for themselves. '. - Our forrests will require man many decades of the present activity befoie they begin to yield and we now have thirty or more 'sawmills which give employment the year round in the mills and logging camps 1 " e The only sugar beet factory in the state it located at La Grande, the County Seat of Union County with a population of 6.000, progressive wide awake people who extend the glad hand to all.
