On this day Columbia county entertained at the Oregon State building. - "Columbia county furnished the larg est logs used in the construction of the forestry building, was the statement made by hundreds of our people who were in attendance at the fair. "We have on exhibition the largest salmon ever shown frozen in a block of ice," was another boast, as they bointed with pride to a G3 pound Royal Clunook caught in She Columbia, along the bor der of our ennnly, and displayed atthe Columbia Ounty booth in charge o Miss Nora Couyercot Clatskanie. "Most of the late cherries in the dU- pl ty of the state in the Agricultura1 pal ace were grown in Columbia county," near Maygers. Potatoes measuring more than a foot with other enormous vegetables were on exhibition. The houieeek(r was informed that lands could be purchase I at " an acr t and at a cost of $-'0 to $103 an ac e it can le planted to orchards, vineyards anb gardens that would ji 11 better and larger crops than any other country un der ihe sun. OJumbia rounty told the people of Portland that they are their nearest neighbors; that she spends there annu ally $1,000,000; that a railroad tapping the interior is needed and Portland cap ital should build it, and money thus in vested would bring good returns. It was shown that immense deposits of coal and iron in the Nebalem valley await development, and that practically evry acre of timber land Is fertile and raises abundant crops after it is cleared. The fishing indnstry received its share of attention. The daries were declared to be as good as any in the West. Onlv 7.1t3 nelsons live in the countv. although half a nation could be support- were the natural resources brought in'o uee. It was one of the pleasantest county days that have been given at the ex position and advertise the communities as wc rthy of inspection bv homeseekers. Columbia county, situated in the northwestern part of the state, begining 15 miles below Portland, has a 5 mile frontage on the Columbia river towaid Astoria, and extends back over the hills and valleys of the Cascade range toward the ocean. It U an undeveloped region where settlers can find land in plenty and where they will be able to make a home and raise a crop a year after set tlement. There is still some govern mentland still open to settlement. It has beeu heavily timbered in all parts, but the valleys along the Colum bia and triputaries have been cleared and here a rich agricultural and dairy ing section is found. After the timber has been disposed f, land can be bought at rediculously low prices. Unimproved land 25 miles from Portland, near a rail road, can bo had for $5 an acre, which can be cleared absolutely "and put in friut trees at from $75 to $100 an acre. The pioneer inethedot' handling a stump patch Willi oxen ha been superml'-il by bhieting nnd burning, aid clearing Disease takes no summer vacation.

The princ:pal industries are logging, milling, fishing farming and dairying. The county should be proclaiming the fact far and wide that she furnished iiuwt if not all of the big fir logs from which the For-atery buildig is construct el, but she is a very quiet county and has very little said about it. These log were got out at Clatskanie and when tba fact Is known that we have 10,000,000,000 feet of standing timber, it will be seen that these logs are but a modest sample. Rainier, Clatskanie, St. Helens and Uoulton are the largest towns, and tha two first named having 1,000 each, and the population does not exceed 10,0)0. A graded school system is in full tor-a all over tho county. -The 57 district have good school buildings and employ . c . 1 . uuiu uue 10 uvo lescueni eacn, Scappooee, Warren and Deer Island. in the upper end of the county, are be coming well known for dairy produce ud fruit Three of the finest throughbred registered Jersey herds in the state ara to be found here and they will be rep resented at the Lewis and Clark Fair When the stock show opens. The Nebalem valley is one of the finest and most fertile sections in the whola county. Settlers found their way thera 35 years ago and though from 9 to 20 miles from a railroad, they have soma some of the best improved farms, dairy herds, hopyards and mills in the state, while their forests are Kill untouched. A railroad is in course of construction now, which It is hoped will conect this territory with the outside markets. A broad-guage logging railroad at Clats kanie is working toward Nebalem and will eventually reach there. Well im proved farms can be bought for $25 aa acre. The Clatskanie and Beaver valleys are dotted with lumber and shingle mills and big logging camps, while the same conditions exist in regard to agriculture dairying and fruitraising aa iu other parts of the county. The Columbia conuty exhibit at th exposition is showing as far as possible its varied resources. From the Historic town of St. Helens, the county seat, come quarry stone. English walnuts, fruits and vegetables and an English . ivy .vire . 14 Inches in diameter and 25 feet high, planted 33 years ago on the old McBride home. From the cold storage plant at Goblet is a C3a pound Royal Chinook salmon frozen in a cake of ice. Rainier has its intrests represented by the cedar front of the booth, a Bawed) cedar board 20 feet long and 52 incbi Wide, fancy doors and a mineral soap manufactured there. Clatskanie furnished the ceiling of tha hnnt h till) HPaoduo nnd Iia lii.toar - toes in tlie building. Quincy and Inglls, on the line of the A. &0. Ry., near Clatskanie, show shingles and cedar poles. Mayger furnished the state fruit ex hibit as well as the county with lata cherries. These were fine specimens of Oregon fruit and were grown about 2,000 feet above the Columbia river. Scappoosu and Warren have on dis play grain, apples, corn and two silver cups won at tho Oregon state fair on dairy herds. Houltou has a coo)erage exhibit. Other localities represented ly grains, and grasses are Fish hawk, AbiaryJEeuV ben, Yankton, Mist and Marshland.
