The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1904-10-27
Mount Hood Valley.
By Robert Leasure.

Mount Hood is located 10 miles south
of Hood River and runs to the base OF
Mount Hood, distance of 10 miles, by
about five miles in width with an eleva.
ton of 1900 feet. The soil is Of red
sandy loan, generally very rich, and all
kinds of vegetables are grown here, as
well as all kinds of fruit that are adapt
ed to the Hood River country. Clover
and timothy hay grows very heavy, the
former turns off from four to five tons
of hay to the season at two cuttings,
making one of the best openings for
dairying in the Northwest, when the
valley is opened up little more. The
country is well watered so it makes
irrigation cost practically nothing.
There is plenty of timber and consider
able numbering going on ali the time.
There are two sawmills in this valley
two stores, one church, one blacksmith
shop, one public hall, and last but not
least, one of the best schools in Wascc
county outside of the city.
The assessable property in our dis.
trict was over 100000, for school pur-
poses last year. We have two teachers
and will have nine months school this
year. Our climate is very mild in win
ter 1t very seldom goes down below
zero. There are about l25 voters in
this valley, with room for at least three
times that number.

ed at various parts of his garden and he
has all the advantages Of city water
works plant. Flowers are blooming in
profusion, and vegetables grow to enor-
nous size. Out of his grapes he makes
fine wine and also has many to sell.
Mr.. kollas raises his own nursery
stock and is sure that he has the right
varieties when he sets out an orchard.
J. L. Tousey is improving bis place of
so acres west of the kollas place, doing
large amount of clearing this year,
and has 7 acres in apples.
Valentine Nehrbauer is living alone
on his place of 60 acres adjoining the
Tousey farm, but has made no improve
ments yet to speak Of. However he in
tends to build a new house and clear a
few acres this winter.
Back on the main road is the James
English place of 40 acres. About II
acres are under the plow, mostly in
apples. 1t is being steadily improved.
G. w. Lafferty has fine place of 30
acres, all but few acres being cleared
and in a well diversified number of
crops.
f. E. Runcorn is farming 80 acres,
and but a small portion of it is unim-
proved. Five acres are in bearing orch
ard, five acres in young trees, 10 in hay
and two in berries.
J.fH. Eggert has leased the Charles
Ehrck ranch of l20 acres in the Odell
district for ten years, and has 40 acres
under cultivation. Mr.. Eggert said to
hx
place in November, 1902, and leased it
for ten years. Since then | have set
out 800 apple trees-Spitzenberg and
Newtowns, and have seeded ten acres
to clover and timothy. This year l cut

| expect to devote the most of my time
to raising hay and cows. This is an
ideal farm for dairying, hogs and poul-
try, and diversified farming will pay

ditch 0dell district can now offer good
inducements for creamery in year
or two. As | am only small farmer
yet, | will say no more; but | am here
to stay, and will try to make this ranch

M. d. Odell is clearing up 40 acres
along the main road leading to Dukes
Valley, and has five acres in orchard
and nearly two in strawberries. From
his strawbelr ries this year he cleared
$l75-practiCally 500 an acre. Mr.
Odell claims to be the first white man
born in Hood River, his birthplace
being on the old homestead of his father,
near the Little White Store, now owned
by Robert Livingstone.

after results in scientific manner. His
oid orchard consisted of large variety
OF apples, on account of getting trees
from an unscrupulous nurseryman that
were not true to name, and the last few
years Mr.. Mason has been busy grubbing
out or top-grafting poor varieties. He
believes in the "wine-glass" shape of
pruning his trees, binding the limbs
firmly together with wire tree supports,
thus opening up the inside of the tree
TO the sunshine while protecting the
limbs by the supports from breaking.
Not weed is to be seen anywhere, and
the trees are as free from pests as any
in the lower valley. Mr.. Mason has
line opportunity for fixing up beau
tiful home, and along creek that runs
through his place he is planning to lay
out park and in other ways to beautify
the grounds until it will be one of the
beauty spots of the valley.

Between the East and West Forks.

The district between the East and
West Forks, in the Mount Hood settle
ment, shows signs of extensive improve.
ments this year. Considerable clearing
is being done, and the land is as good as
anywhere in the valley.
II. II. Tomlinson is improving his AZ
acres, having built new house and
cleared large patch of ground which
will be planted to apples, Strawberries
and hay. His old home is now owned
by Orville Knox, who purchased the
40 acres on which the old building
stands, and has the cleared land mostly
in hay.
A. 0. johnson, c. A. Puddy and o.
M. Bailey are all clearing and getting
the land ready for apples and hay.
Albert Mckinney has about 20 acres
cleared on his eighty, and this includes
a small bearing orchard. Free water
makes the place especially valuable,
and reduces the cost of maturing his
crops.
Robert Mckinney has about 20 acres
cleared, mostly in hay.
W. II. Rodenhiser has 25 acres in hay
on his quarter section, and is building a
new barn to take better care Of his crop.
Mrs. A. Ries is one of the pioneer set
tiers between the forks, and while only
a small portion of her place has been
cleared, she has fine home place, and
has all the comforts of home life. She
raises some of the finest berries in the
upper valley on small patch OF ground,
and has a nice family orchard. Her
sons, Frank, John and Henry have
places near by, and are making improve
ments every year.
The David Wishart homestead, now
occupied by Mrs. Wishart, has about 40
acres in cultivation, and half of it is
now owned by her son, James.
Back a mile and half from the main
road leading to the Falls, are the Burk-
hart and McIsaacs places. Adjoining
the Burkhart place is the lava beds,
one of the impos sing bits of scenery in
the valley. These places are being
made garden spots in the middle OF
heavy timber, and large amount OF
clearing is being done. Near these
farms is also so acres belonging to d. E.
Miller, who cleared Is acres and set to
strawberries, but owing to the long
distance from market, has set out the
clearing to apples.

Baker CITY. The Hood River saw mill
is closed for the present, but will start
about the first of the year. The logging
camps have started up for the season's
run. A new planning mill 4Sxl00 is
being built, which will be driven by a
rs horsepower Atlas engine. Smith 4
Watson Iron Works furnish d the fronts
for the two boilers. The company is
building a crib 800 feet long, 12 feet
wide and 6 feet high, at the mouth of
Hood River, to turn the logs during n
freshet towards the mill, The company
report business as good, both with its
fir and pine mills. The timber holdings
of the company now under control will
aggregate nearly billion feet.
Davenport Bros. Lumber Co., Hood
River, are cutting on an average about
$4,000 feet per day with eleven men at
their Parkertown mill at the end OF
their six-mile flume. The logs will run
about five to the thousand and are
sound red fir, perfectly adapted for ties
and structural material. The logs are
turned on the carriage by two peavey
men, who certainly for CELEBRITY of move
ment can give the modern log turner
cards and spades and then beat them,
The logs are hauled out of a pond 700
feet up a log haul, by 94xll w. l. q
S. W. engine, which makes turn every
ten minutes, bringing up 1000 feet of
logs. The company is building new
mill at Green Point, about two miles
from the present mill, which will be
dismantled and moved to the Green
Point site. The officers of the company
are: President and manager, Frank
Davenport; vice president and assistant
manager, A. M. kelsay; secretary, G..
Copple, who is also in charge OF the
planning mill at Ruthton, which is the
rail shipping point. Warren f. Daven-
port is superintendent and manager OF
the local yard, while f. E. Newly is
superintendent of Mill b, as the Parker
town mill is named. The company has
good operating force. An order for
10000 ties for the Short Line is now
being filled. The timber holdings con-
sist OF about two hundred million feet
of yellow, red and white fir, with
sprinkling of hemlock, larch and white
pine. The timber lies at an elevation
of about $500 feet, and will run on an
average about $4,000 feet per acre The
ground is gently rolling, making an
excellent logging chance. The timber
holdings of the company embrace ter
ritory which stretches from the Mount
Hood Forest Reserve to the Columbia
River. There is probably 5OO,0O0,000
feet of additional timber which will find
an outlet to market through the lands
now owned by the Davenport Lumber
Co. The timber is perfectly sound,
with little underbrush and can be
manufactured and sent to market by
the aid of fumes at a minimum cost,
