GROWTH Cf FIFTY YEARS.
A "rook Backward. Shows the Sevelop-

By B. BT. Flagg. Bdltor of S. Selena
...... xeust.' ' - .
, Looking backward to years In the life
of Columbia county brings u to the
period '' shortly after .the construction
of the Northern Paclflo railroad. There
were about 1,600 people In the county
at that time, nearly all subsisting on
the logtrtnr -and- lumberinglnduetriee.
: Today there ere ever 10.009 people In the
county and Its entire length la traversed
by standard railroads, while a number
of logging railroads from , different
points on the -waterfront penetrate the
dense forests. . r . ....
Important ' Industries . have sprung
Into existence and thriving, manufactur
ing communities have taken the place
of aleepy landings and fish kilns. .
, In ths domain, of agriculture, field
and orchard have rapidly followed the
logging camp. The' needa of a grea
city have atlmulated the dairy Industry
and Scappoose has become famous for
Us fine herds of dairy cattle. 'Modern
methods of horticulture have enabled
us' to exhibit fruit that cannot ba ex
celled anywhere In the world. ' - ,
Looking forward 10 years. I see the
Columbia's . watershed cleared of Its
valuable Umber ""sndTiTTts atear aTeat
commercial orchards, market., gardens
and dairy farms. A railroad will trav-
erae the- Nehalem valley and open to
settlement a garden spot whose richness
can scarcely be estimated. ,
As Columbia county has Increased five
fold In the paat SO years. It la not too
much to expect that In 20 years It will
contain at least to.000 peopre, and
peclally Is this a reasonable expectation
If In the near ruture our iron ana coal
mlnea are developed. Columbia la Port
land's nearest neighbor. Our cltlsen
spend annually .in the metropolis over
11,000,000, and the business men of that
city should take more palna than they
have to aee that thla contiguous' terri
tory la thoroughly developed. -.
. We will progress, because our natural
resources must In time attract the at
entlon of capital, but the business men
of Portland can aid us, and by so doing
they will aid themselves. There Is
plenty of money In Portland to build the
Nehalem' road, and Portland business
men should aee that It la built within
tha next year. It Is somewhat to be
feared that thejgresent move la only a

good for nothing else than the erasing
of herds and flocks.
