The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1903-08-13
Nood River Glacier
THURSDAY, AUGUST ls, 1908.
Glacier Editor visits Mount Hood.


The Glacier man, senior, and his bet
ter half visited at the pleasant country
home of DR.. and Mrs. M. F. Shaw at
Mount Hood last Saturday and Sunday.
The doctor made no mistake when he
purchased 100 ceres in the Mount Hood
district. This part of our valley is des-
tined to be the most productive as well
as most desirable for climate. There Is
no scarcity of water for irrigation.
bitches are everywhere in evidence.
The hay crop, as usual, is heavy this
year. Apples will not be full crop.
DR.. Shaw has made wonderful
change in the looks of the place he
purchased less than year ago. He re-
modelled the log house, added to it and
now has one of the neatest and most
comfortable country houses in the val
ley. He has fine orchard land, gently
sloping from the main road towards
the river His best land is as yet in
wild state. The stumps that orna-
mented his cultivated fields and or.
chard have all been blasted out, and
two acres more have been grubbed and
the stumps blasted out. He has seven
acres in Strawberries, set last spring,
that are looking fine, and two acres
more ready for the plants. Next year
the doctor may be expected to be heard
from as one of the leading strawberry
growers of the upper Hood River val
ley. The doctor has 1000 apple trees,
$50 of which are bearing. The day of
the Heppner food a hail storm visited
sections of Mount Hood. The doctors
orchard happened to be in the line of
the storm, and the hail left its mark on
every apple ii struck. There IS small
indentation on the apple, which looks
like scab at little distance, but close
inspectiOn shows it TO be the work of
the hail. There is no fungus in the
doctors orchard.
On the return to the city the summer
camp of C. II. and N. W. Bone and
their families was visited. They are
located in pleasant grove Of oaks on
N. w. Is farm at Willow Flat. These
two families, with the exception of
G. r., left on Wednesday for Newport
for the season. Mrs N. w. Bones sis
ter, Miss Stella Gould, and niece, Ruth
Bowerman, both from Illinois, go with
the party to Newport The comfort
able quarters and pleasant surround
ings of their camp at Willow Flat can
hardly be improved upon at Newport.
