are now in the woods and it is believed that Grays Harbor and the
Straits of Juan de Fuca will be soon united with railroad iron
and Clallam county will come to its own.

PRINCIPAL TOWNS AND VILLAGES.

PORT ANGELES, located about 60 miles from the ocean on the Straits
of Fuca, is the largest town and county seat. It has a splendid
harbor, with fine anchorage, furnishing a safe refuge for ships
when the storms rage outside.

DUNGENESS and SEQUIM, three miles from PORT WILLIAMS, are important
farming centers, both noted for their dairy products, and contribute
largely to make Clallam the second county in the state in the value
of its dairy products.

QUILLAYUTE, FORKS, BEAVER, BLYN and GETTYSBURG are other small
settlements waiting for the railroads to open up the country and
render their natural resources available for the good of the world.

Clarke county lies on the north shore of the Columbia river, opposite
Portland, Oregon. It has 600 square miles of territory. It was
one of the earliest settled parts of the state, and its timber
as yet uncut is large. It is extremely well watered. The Columbia
and Lewis rivers border it on three sides with navigable waters.
It has a mild climate, very fertile soil, and splendid markets
