Clarke County pioneer faith in farming and resources
A speech to the Clarke County Agricultural and Mechanical Society outlines early settlement, land titles, and the region’s potential. It extols Vancouver, its growth, water works, agriculture, dairy and cheese production, beef and mutton prospects, sheep farming, timber, mills, and forthcoming rail and immigrant initiatives. It notes labor scarcity, land surveys, and population projections, urging promotion abroad and an immigrant aid society.
