CITIES AND TOWNS.

GOLDENDALE, the county seat and metropolis, is located in the center
of the county, 120 miles east of Portland. It is the terminus of
the Goldendale branch of the Spokane, Portland & Seattle railway,
making connection with the main line at Lyle. It is located in
the heart of a splendid agricultural section and at the edge of
the great timber belt.

town. It is an important railroad point on the North Bank and is the
outlet for the products of an extensive fruit, timber and dairying
region.

is the trading center of many square miles of territory. The best
nut land in the county is located near here.

BICKLETON, the trading point of an extensive wheat section, is in
the eastern part of the county. An electric road has been surveyed,
which will, when completed, give this town railway connection.
