Union County
Population 12,044: agriculture and
stock-raising. This county is for the greater part mountainous,
but it has numerous valleys, the largest being that of the
Grande Ronde, which in summer seems to be one vast grain field
thickly dotted with farmhouses. Other valleys in Union county
are not less productive.

Wasco County
Population 9,183; stock-raising and
lumbering. The county of Wasco covers about 3,590 square miles.
The opening of the Columbia River at the Cascade portage will
give to Wasco county a great advantage in transportation, and
will certainly add to real values.
