The City of
Hood River:

viii double in population
within five years. Judging
from the present growth of
the valley and requirements
of the residents we now have
there must be considerable
building done this year to
supply the actual demands.
Here is your chance, Mr.
Farmer, and also yours, Mr..
Speculator. Get busy and
build residences, apartment
houses, or business blocks.
They will all rent just as soon
as you get a roof over them,
and there is money in your
pocket from the rents and
increased value of the prop
erty.
What are you waiting for?
You know property will new
er be any cheaper and you
also know that you can sell
good property at a profit
whenever you get tired of it.
The next move is to call on
us and get a list of the best
realty buys on the market.

There is a general feeling among
real estate brokers that the situation
is improving. There are more inquiries
for available building sites and for
improved properties. The difficulty in
the way OF closing deals Is the lack OF
understanding between intending pur-
chasers- and sellers. This is not in
superable, but more time is required
and much more OF labor than attended
sales a few years ago. There is no
lack OF confidence to be observed in
any direction, but merely difference
of opinion that relates TO what the
present values of-local properties are.
The considerable sales OF large proper

able, which is after all the indispen-

SEEKING SMALL FARMS
IN SACRAMENTO VALLEY
Wonderful Change Noted in the
Irrigated Lands Districts

Thomas Dowdell, secretary of the
California irrigated land company, has
to the company,s-lands at Biggs, Butte
county. During those three days colo
nists from Missouri, Kansas and Ne
braska purchased $50 acres of irri-
gated land, mostly in pieces of 10 to.
40 acres.
TT is not surprising" said Dowdell,
that the farmers of the middle west
Sacramento valley irrigated land, nor
that large numbers of them are set
tied there. Those who have been liv
ing in one crop regions with too much
or not enough rain, with frosts, snow,
hail and storms TO contend with, well
come the opportunity to purchase small
acreage in the Sacramento valley,
where the soil can not be excelled.
where the water is absolutely con-
trolled by the farmer, and where the
other element of successful farming,
sunshine. is on tap practically all the
year
1T is surprising, however, that
among the hundreds of thousands of
bay city inha bitants, the few. that are
familiar with the rapid development of
the valley, or who appreciate its
wonderful and sure opportunities either
for land speculation or for homes. Up
to few years ago there was cause
for this lethargy, the Sacramento val
ley was a vast grain ranch, and to
many Of our people it is one still.
To-day this vast plain is dotted with
magnificent alfalfa fields, which yield
six crops yearly; orchards that pay
500 TO $3.50 per acre annually; vine
yards which pay a like amount; fat
cattle, fine horses and all that goes to
make up prosperous farming section.
"A few years ago this land sold at
the price of wheat land, today the bare
land sells for $50 and $3.50 per acre,
and improved land, land cultivated, and
with fruit trees, grapes and alfalfa,
sells for $3.50 to $500. Irrigation has
made the change and has made sue
cessful the growing of all crops.
Yet the very ones, the people of
to recognize the changed conditions
and take advantage of them, neglect
to look further afieId and allow those
who are hundreds and In many cases
thousands OF miles away. to get in on
the ground floor.
Understand l am not decrying the
incoming OF the eastern home seeker,
we want all we can get, but / am crit
icising the short sightedness of many
of our local people. who in their
present conditions have nothing to
look forward TO but the daily grind.
There are thousands Of persons in San
Francisco at the present moment who,
by leaving the places Ahey now occupy
tory hands and unskilled workers,
could, by adopting agriculture. better
their own condition and that of those
depending on them. Rarely, indeed,
does an energetic California farmer fail
to make a comfortable living
