HUSUM

One of the largest single bearing
orchard tracts in the White Salmon
valley is owned and developed by j.
X. and P. B. McCraken, two miles up
the river from Husum. The tract
contains 70 acres of thrifty bearing
trees, the Spitzenbergs and Newtowns
leading all other varieties of apples.
The owners state that the prospects
were never better for a big yield of
apples this year and they fully expect
to harvest 10000 boxes Of choice fruit.
Two years ago when the McCrakens
came up from Portland and purchased
the orchard tract along with other
lands for $50, 900. People were skep-
tical as to the outcome, but the in
crease in value of lands in this valley
has proven the deal a paying invest
ment. Hunters Hill" as the ranch
is named, when owned by M Jrdica
Jones before the fruit bearing peroid,
was the scene of many gay hunting
party, when all kinds of wild animals
/ were running rampant in the noun
tains. Jones kept pack of 80 blooded
hounds, and his guests were treated
to the rarest sport when it came to
bagging deer, bear, the couagr and
other wild animals. A side from being
an enthusiastic sportsman and royal
entertainer Jones was an artist with
the violin and banjo, and after big
DAYS killing he would favor his guests
with an inpromptu concert.
Forty acres of the Simpson ranch,
four miles east was recently sold to
W. Nelson of San Francisco for $l0C
an acre. The land is unimproved and
is located in higher altitude thar
the valley proper.

and forty-three feet with the emer-

Despite the rigidities of the tech
nical examination after the run the
result, SO far as the Franklin was con-
cerned, was penalty of only three
points. 1t was the last of the three
days runs which brought the larger
penalties to most of the cars. A heavy
rain during the forenoon had turned
the roadway into mud, and contestants
found that only by careful driving on
the crown OF the road could the sched-
ule be maintained Rocks concealed in
the mud caused tire trouble for many
