Excerpt from North-Western Washington: Its Soil, Climate, Productions and General Resources; With Detail Description of the Counties of Jefferson, Clalam, Island, San Juan and Whatcom There are no brick-yards yet, of impor tance. If at all, in any of these counties, although good brick are in greater or less demand, and it would seem that a yard would pay.
