DIR. Cooper, one of the Oldest set
tiers in the valley, has the largest orch
ard in the Mount Hood district. His
old orchard will produce 1000 boxes
this year, and he has couple OF young
orchards coming on that will bring his
apple acreage up to 25 acres. He has
apout 800 inches of free water on his
place, and 100 acres OF good band. The
residence is very pleasantly sit atei
back from the road, with ample build
ings and fine lawn around the house,
and his ranch shows up the Possibill-
ties of the rich land in his neighbor-
hood. Mr.. Cooper mas seen all the I'M
proyements IN the vailey grow up, many
OF them with ms help, ana one Oh ms
projects was the building Of the stage
road to the Inn, with the help OF Henry
Coe and few other pioneers, and was
one of the first party to make the ascent
of the mountain from this side. Coop
er's spur was named by him.

Reaching the John Croft place about
sundown, the Glacier man was afraid to
go any farther for fear he might meet
the cougar that has been prowling
around that neighborhood, and MIR.
Croft kindly consented to take him in
for the night. No cougar was seen.
but about dusk deer was seen feeding
in MIR Groff's clover patch. Mr.. Croft
has made a remarkable showing on his
place In the two and half wears he has
occupied il. His buildings are substan.
