The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1905-08-17


tion. A gap cut in the tall timber
! where neat cottage stands, on either
: side of which we're wings Of poultry
! sheds. Clean, well kept and coy,
wire screened and with clear water
running through the grounds, they
, presented an inviting appearance,
; suggesting the fact that fresh ranch
eggs and broilers from such a place
should find the highest round in the
market, Mr.. Leighton understands
the business and seems content among
the birds that answer his call. And
this leads up to the thought that di-
cersitled industry and specialties pay
everywhere. Adjoining the poultry
grounds is perhaps the most artistic
home by the roadside we see in all
our trip.
The Home of DR.. Shaw.
With an east frontage we see a log
cottage with dormer, windows and
shingle gables, with background Of
growing garden and bearing orcLard
and to the south and west four OF hy,
acres ots the famous Hood River berries
that have astonishcd the world. This
interesting place is in the hands Of
Mr.. Morton, formerly from California,
and man with % years experience
in the irrigable district of that state.
Il His intelligence and experience will
aid in keeping this already pictur-
esque and profitable reach Of the
beauty spots along this tourist road
side. The efforts Cf Dr. Shaw are
commendable indeed, and are worthy
of imitation. Such places as the
DR.. s and the Baldwin place just
across the way serve as the best adyer-
tisers of the very best country in all
the Northwest.
The Modern Home Of Mr.. Baldwin.
Mr.. Baldwin you find combina
tion of the characteristics Of the pio-
neer who blazed the trail to ciyiliza-
tion and those Of the born gentleman.
You know there are two kinds Of gen
tlemen, the one born, the other Cuiti-
waited. Give me the former In Mr.
Baldwin you find a brave, houestt
sturdy pioneer and gentleman, upri-h
in his dealings and void OF cGeuce-.a
man abundantly able TO live anywhere
he might choose, yet living HudD the
sheltering arms Of Mount Hood and az
a matter Of choice dclviug INTO the
forest and digging out and improving
modern home, from which shall flow
all the comforts allotted to man. The
whispering voice of the western wind
lured him there years ago. and clear
ing one place after another as he lis
tened to the voice of God in nature,
he at last has found a spot where CON .
tentment reigns supreme, from which |
place in his declining years he viii
muse and listen for the final roll call |
that shall beCkOn him into the great |
beyond
With a spotless character here, who |
shall question the future state of MIR.
Baldwin after he passes into that |
bourne from which no traveller re-
turns. All honor is due such men. +.
and we think the world is better by |
his having passed this way. Mrs. |
Baldwin greeted US w.rmly. not know
! ing we were assuming the role of re- /
porter, and intelligentIy reviewed the .
early history Of Messrs. Baldwin and |
Tieman, saying it would be a work of |
love to write the history of 3Ir. Tie
man; that in him was a character; he !
had Travelled world wide, had visited |
the old world, had placed his hand on |
the tomb of Christ in the sepulcher at |
Jerusalem. His character was also .
blameless, and before pas-ia iag into |
history endowed the Masonic lodge of |
Hood River with $1,000. This is one .
Of the monuments erected to hi- .
memory, but not the tallest neither
the most enduring. The spotloss lives
