Aood River GLACIER
THURSDAY, DECEMBER /, 1904.

Rogue River farmers contributed a
free exhibit OF apples to the Lewis and
Clark exhibition. Hood River farmers,
with but one exception, received the
market price for what apples went from
here to the Portland fair. The business
men OF Hood River are supposed to put
up large amount each year for adver-
tising the valley abroad, but the farm
ers, nearly all OF whom have land for
sale at $500 an acre, contribute nothing
toward making Hood River known to
the outside world. They raise the apples
at fancy price and expect the city
guys to pay for writeups and booklets.
Does this seem fair?

$4,000, and is model city structure in
