Last Sunday was May Day, indeed.
The weather was delightful. Hood Riv-
or swarmed and lit down on Carson.

this "al IN the square" party, includ-
ing A. ID. Moe, editor OF the Glacier; f..
.. Blanchar, one of Hood Rivers ban
kers; w. j. Baker and +. Chandler,
real estate dealers; j. X, Carson and
Geo. Sharpe, hardware dealers; Com
modore Dean, who was the pilot Of the
party, furnishing and manning the
launch.
1t was a right jolly party and it gave
the writer great pleasure to meet these
old friends and handle the ribbons over
two OF our best sorrel horses and give
them just glimpse OF the best unde-
veloped valley in the Northwest. The
entire party seemed agreeably surprised
at what their eyes beheld on three
mile drive northward to the bridge
questionable whether shall be able to
land any of them here, yet | am sure
they all carried with them very pleasant
recolections OF very pleasant day,
with the green beneath and the blue
above" in the beautiful valley OF Car
son.
We were 10th to part with them at
the gateway OF our charming valley, but
We feel assured that they will all return
again, If for no other purpose than get
ting bath and trying to cate h some of
the gamy trout that lie hidden in the
shady pools OF the river, and take shot
at the deer that feed along the sunny
glades of the upper valley, Nature here
has b en- lavish and we beg of you boys
to come again. Roswell SHELLEY.

S105, 600 or just 81, 900 an acre. This
includes 35 acres of bearing orchard
and the balance of the trees range
from two to Elk years. The land is
among the choicest In the valley, and
at prices which have been the rule
of late, the price paid tor this pro
perty is very reasonable. Il. f.
Pooiey, son of Edwin X. Pooley, is
now here and will have charge OF the
property. L. a. Decker, who has
been managing the Van Horn proper
ty, will remain until the fist OF Dec
embeI as general oveIseer.

purchased l68 acres In the Pine Grove
district, from several owners, IN order

there WIS some bearing orchard on
the property. The average price paid
was $500 an acre, at that time the
highest price which had been paid for
orchard land in the valley, for any
considerable acreage.
1t has since been demonstrated that
Mr.. Van Horns confidence In the
future OF Hood River WAS not mis-.
placed. He later interested him
self in land in Willow Flat and on the
west side, and 10 still interested 10

tract of land that he expected to pur
chase upon his arrival. lie had heard
of Hood River but had never stopped

Wenatchee and the different fruit
districts, but after seeing the beauti'
tul Hood River valley he decided to
let go his option in Yakima and To-
cate here. Last summer Mr.. Van
Horn sold 40 acres to Dickerson *
Peck of Minneapolis for S34, 900 and a
10 acre tract to VIM. X. Starrett OF
