A few days ago. c. c. Chapman, OF
the Portland Commercial Club, said
that Portland business men should
know and travel over the various
sections of the state of Oregon in
order to be familiar with its opportuni-
ties so that they could be of best SER
vice to themselves and to the state IN
it's development. Hood River will be
very glad to have the Portland people
come this way and get acquainted with
the valley so that they may tell their
friends in the city and their chance
acduaintances, who visit Portland,
what Hood River has for man who
wants to come here and help raise the
worlds best apples. Hood River peo-
ple 90 to Portland often and they
should always invite their Portland ac-
quaintances to come up and look
about.
While Hood River is getting some of
her neighbors in to look at the beauti-
ful valley our own people will do we'll
to get out into the valley and get ac-
quainted with it. There are lots Of in
teresting points in the valley which
residents living but few miles dis
tant know nothing about. The valley
people come into town on business and
the town people should make lit a
point to get out in to the valley and
become familiar with its different
parts and attractions SO that they can
tell people about it when they come to
town. They will also get their full
share out of the pleasure of seeing the
valley. Further more the valley peo-
pie should see the other sections than
their own. The west side should visit
the east side and the east side should
visit the west side, and they should
both get together and make trip into
the upper valley.
1t is not necessary to see it all in
one trip nor is it best to make fly
ing iaunt in an automobile. Drive out
slowly, stop and talk to the ranchers
and walk over their lands. If you
can't drive, walk, and you will enjoy
it more, besides getting physical
benefit. You do not have to stop work |
to to go, but you had better miss a |
little work than the sights you can |
see. Go out on the east side among
the older bearing orchards and see
the wonderful crop of apples which |
is hanging on the trees. Go out on
the west side and look at the younger
orchards and the we'll kept berry |
fields Travel to the upper valley
and see the surprising progress which
is being made in the development of
that part of the valley. Stop at
Dee, and see them making boards of
the tall frs with saws driven by the
power of the river. Do mot overlook
the scenic glories of the valley in your
1t is easy for the town folks
to take trip down the old State road
past Wau Guin Guin falls and along
the bluff where it is possible to get an
excellent view of the gorge of the
Columbia. Travel up Hood River to
the Punch Bowl. Follow up the west
fork to Lost Lake, the clear emerald
gem in the mountains. Go through
the upper valley to Cloud Cap Inn ard
climb Mt. Hood Then go on trips
pLrely to explore with no particular
