The logging industry, which centers here, employs 2,000 men and
pays out $120,000 a month. LAKE CUSHMAN is a summer resort in the mountains famous for its big trout catches. ALLYN, on an arm of the sound, is central to much oyster lands, logging camps and fruit orchards. ARCADIA, also on the sound, is central to considerable stock-raising and lumbering. DETROIT is a prosperous village, proud of the grapes grown on some of its logged-off lands. MATLOCK is a town on the logging railroad and central to large logging operations. OKANOGAN COUNTY. Okanogan, the largest county in the state, lies on the northern boundary just east of the Cascade peaks. It has an area of 4,500 square miles and a population estimated at 13,000. About one-fourth of the county, a district of great latent resources, is still within the Colville Indian reservation, but is soon to be thrown open to settlement. RESOURCES. |
