HOOD RIVER FIRST
In BIG EXHIBITION

Hood River was the first county in
the state to take up The proposition OF
the. Portland. Chamber = 2mmerce
and engage space for pc, eHt
display sof the products Of the Hop
River valley in an exhibit which Eas
been arranged by the Portland body.
Assistant Secretary NJ. tMosessohn,
Of the organization at the metr0pO IS
as in Hood River last week and mace
the arrangements with the county and
the Commercial Club which will nair-
tain the exhibit. The Hood klN er
display will be placed On-a table and
Hood River literature will lie placed
their for distribution among people
who come to Portland ard seek to
learn about the outlying districts Of
Oregon.
The plan upon which the permanent
exhibit will be conducted is that each
country have its allotted space for q
small rental and that the Portland
chamber put up the exhibit, maintain
it and give it the required advertising,
A fund of so, 600 has been subscribed
by Portland public spirited business
men and with this the finest EXHIBIT Of
its skind will be gotten together. II.
B. Wight, the expert who went to
work few days ago under contract
with the chamber, has already begun
preserving fruit blossoms. As the
season advances, fruit ard all
specimens of flowers that help to make
the state famous will be put away
preserved to keep for many years.
Mr.. Wight will keep steadily at work
for at least year,
Apple blossoms from Hood River
trees will be treated to a. decoctior
known only to Mr.. Wight and will
thereafter be on exhibition in the
rooms Of the permanent exhibit.

THE OTHERS
SAY ABOUT II

The sale of orchard land in the Hood
River valley last week for $1,000 an
acre has excited considerable comment
from newspapers over the state,
Some of the comments are reprinted
here. The Oregonian writer got the
names little mixed but his editorial
which follows is sound:
twenty-five hundred an acre
seems at first glance to be very high
price for agricultural land of any sort.
The unwary will declare in their haste
no doubt that DR.. Allen, of Massachu-
sets, made big blunder in paying at
that rate for his coy Hood River
orchard, but little piece Of calcula-
tion will set them right.
ut is not very remarkable thing
for an orchard to pay net profit OF
$500 an acre. Many acres near Hood
River pay good deal more than
that sum. Ten per cent of $1,000 is
only 1920, so that the orchard which
DR.. Allen has bought may be expected
to return something like 20 per cent on
his investment. When we remember
that the best bonds nowadays pay
scarcely more than five per cent it
will be seen that he has done fairly
well with his money.
1.-THE transaction will look better
still when it is taken into account that
his orchard does not depend on the
stability of any bank or the oshrewd-
ness Of any railroad management for
its value. Bankruptcy cannot injure
it, nor high finance assail. Clearly
DR.. Allen understands thing or two
besides therapeutics and anatomy
The Salem Statesman says:
1.-TWO thousand two hundred dollars
an acre for six and half acres OF
eight-year-old apple orchard in the
Hood River valley! Takes youi
breath? That was the rate which al
eastern man paid, on the 9th inst, fol
small farm in the famous orchard
district bordering the Columbia river
and which has made Oregon grow
apples famous the world over. The
total sum paid for the land was $l4, 400
The new owner also purchased sever
acres of brush Land adjoining, fo
which he paid $528 per acre, a recor'
price for unimproved land. The Rogu
River and Willamette River valley
will have to get up and go some t.
beat that. The soil is here. Now VIII
can make such showing?"
