W afhington County, one o f the richest and
most prosperous counties in Oregon, is located
a few miles southwest o f Portland. Its soil is
marvelous In its richness, producing any th in *
grown upon the coast north o f San Francisco.
Some o f the finest stock, dairy, crass, hay and
hop farms in the west are located in W ashinc-
ton county, while the fruit lirown upon our up
lands has won medals at International Expo
sitions.
Large lumbering concerns are slow ly manu
facturing our immense forests into lumber.
Fine ranches yearly replace the lumber camps.
W e have the best schools and in our midst Is
located Pacific University and Tualatin Acad-
amy. T w o o f the largest milk condensers on
the coast are located In our county. W e have
the various conveniences shared by counties
o f much older states, such as telephone sys
tems, free rural mail d elivery, railroad fa c il
ities. and the best o f business accomodations
furnished by the flourishing cities o f Forest
G rove and Hillsboro. A fine water power elec
tric plant furnishes unlimited electricity for all
municipal
and
manufacturing
purposes.
Real estate Is yet low compared with the won
derful fertility of the soil and the undeveloped
possibilities o f our county in many ways.
W h ll" we are grow ing rapidly yet there are
an untold numbering o f openings along agri-
ultural, manufacturing and business lines all
over our county.
