J. r. Steele of the Mount Hood dis
trict was visitor in Hood River Mon
day. Mr.. Steele says Paul Aubert is
moving to his new place bought of
John Vauthiers. Snow still covers the
ground in that section. There is con-
siderable inquiry for land in the district,
and when the immigration comes along
that is promised, Mount Hood settlers
will be willing to divide up their places
and part with what land they have to
spare at moderate consideration COM
pared with prices for land in the lower
valley. The upper part of Hood River
valley is considered by many as our
best apple land for the reason that the
Goblin moth never affects the apple
there. 1t is well known that the clover
there is crop that can't be beaten in
any country.
