$500.
With the population Of Hood River
city at 1900, Mosier country 500; Cas-
cade Locks, Viento and Wyeth, 400; the
valley $500, the grand total is 540O
Other estimates have placed the figures
at 5720, but with the large number OF
single men In the lumber camps, the
Glacier would be more conservative in
its estimate.

apple trees; 800 to strawberries; 2600 to
hay. A greater part Of the remaining
800 acres will be utilized for hay the
coming summer and will later be plant.
ed to apple trees.
The Glacier has endeavored to get The

since last summer many changes have
been made in land ownership, and II any

directory below, or il errors have beer
made in his acreage, the Glacier woult
be pleased to have him notify the Office
