ODELL

A look at the home of l.. ID. BoyeC
last week is still another proof of the
reward of enterprise. Mr.. Boyed's
home is easily the incest in East Hood
River valley. The house is model OF
beauty and at the same time combines
the comforts aud conveniences of a
modern city dwelling. The lawn in
front and on the south side of the house
looks as If made to order, fitting the
house and surroundings to "ln.
The water supply comes from reser-
voir on the hill west of the house,
which is filled by means of pump
throwing an eight-inch stream of
water and run by a gasoline engine.
With an abundance of water from the
Bone ditch Mr.. Boyed is enabled to
produce one of the best gardens in the
valley. Corn grows to perfection, a
thing not generally conceded to Hood
River valley; while all kinds of vege-
tables and fruit attain high degree of
perfection. There is stalk of cauli.
flower standing on sturdy stalk that
is three feet high, topped out with
huge caulitlOwer that will measure II
to ii inches across, all white and ten
der. Pie pumpkins are scattered over
small piece while each one of them
seems contesting the right of the Others
in the same garden. Mr.. Boyed has
sold down his quarter section to 40
acres, part of which he has cleared
recently, and with his bearing orchard
and the new one planted, he has
promise of good revenue soon. He
intends to burn a kiln of brick next
season and build an apple house,
which will be about as cheap as lum-
Der and far preferable This charming
home is an object lesson to those
seeking investment in the valley. Mr..
Boyed's Improvements are all of
substantial character. What he does
is well done. He is a mechanic and
knows that cheap improvements
finally prove expensive. We congrat-
ulate Mr.. and Mrs. Boyed on their
pleasant home, which will always be
kept while Mrs. Boyed is there.
