August Paasch of the East Side is
one of Hood Rivers farmers that have
succeeded. He came here IL years ago
with money enough to buy l20 acres OF
unimproved land, for which he paid
$500 He had family of small child
rem. Today he has one of the best
places in the valley-good orchards, sub
stantial buildings, and everything to-
make home comfortable. His orchards
will yield 5000 boxes OF first-class apples
this season. Twelve thousand dollars
would not tempt him to part with his
farm today. For years he made liv-
ing for his family by hauling wood to
town, and he is still making good wages
by cutting wood in winter and hauling
it to market. He made his place self
from the start. His place is
4 miles from town on the East Side.
H. G. Crockett of the East Side had a
runaway the other day which might

with yonng horse that before had
never showed any disposition to get
scared but when opposite j. W. Moore's
place the horse was frightened by COW
that rose up in field close by the fence
and the animal started to run and soon
became uncomfortable. Mr.. Crockett
tried to pull him into some young pines,
but he jumped an irrigating ditch and
brought up in a barb wire fence and
was badly cut on the legs. Mr.. Crockett
escaped uninjured.
