Iligh Prices Paid.

And the prices received by the Mo
sier growers were as high as were paid
to any others in the country. To show
how the Mosier union succeeded in
maintaining their reputation last Fall
it may be well to cite some of the cor
respondence between the buyers and
the union. On November 2 last, they
telegraphed as follows. "Of course
you know Hood River is shipping very
heavily now, and we must say the fruit
is the best we have ever seen. We
hope the same will be the case as far
as Moser IS concerned, as we paid you
as much as We paid Hood River" On
November Is, after the receipt of the
first Mosier car, Steinhardt & Kelly
telegraphed as follows: "Your first
car OF NewtOwns and Spitzenbergs was
received and offered by us today. 1t
was about the finest ear of fruit that
has come to us out of the West this
year. We have received no car of fruit
as yet this year of as good quality or
as well packed as this first ear Of
yours.
All the other cars were equally good
and received almost equal praise, and
the buyers finally wrote to the union
as follows "The trade took to your
apples just as good as they did to the
very best which came out of the
Northwest; in fact we have managed
to establish demand for Mosier second
to none, and We are quite sure that in
years to come, when you will have a
large output, that you will have abso-
luteIy no difficulty in disposing of the
same either through US or some other
concern which might handle your fruit.
With our very best regards to all the
members of your board of directors,
and also to all the growers, whom we
deisrc you to particularly thank in our

perience and success with their chick
ems during January. Now, | think !

to the editor and the readers of the

beaten. will first give my cost of
feed and so on for January, and then
the returns. First. | have a good
warm chicken house and a good
scratching room. Before the snow
commenced hauled sand and gravel,
put in box of Stacked lime, once or
twice a week put wheat and alfalfa
hay in the scratching room and kept
the house good and clean. | bought
two sacks of wheat at 81 20 per sack,
and 81 worth of meat. also bought
100 pounds of this Walla Wala alfalfa
meal, consisting of alfalfa, sugar, and
tobacco. | also had considerable sun
flower seed that | raised and some
corn. was very careful to keep
plenty of good fresh water and occa-
sionally gave them some milk, so you
see | kept the chickens well fed.
was careful to keep count of the egg
result so did not let day pass with
out looking after them. | had 65
chickens, 81 laying hens. mostly Rhode
Island Reds. Here is the total amount
of eggs got during January: One
egg. Can any one in the valley beat
this record? Now as | had 81 hens, |

erage per hen for the month.

Towns Location Strategic.

The town of Mosier thus occupies
strategic location, as there is never
likely TO be another town on the river
open to the territory TO the SOUTH for
the further reason that the outlet to
transportation is down the little Mosier
Creek valley. which is Immediately
west of the townste.
did not, however, come here to tell
about Mosier, but about the Mosier
territory | will, further on. say a
few words about the town. But if it
ever gets to a place of importance it
will do so through the settlement and
cultivation Of the contiguous and trib-
utary lands to the south
Speaking of the district in another
way, may say that it lies almost in
the heart of the best fruit lands in the
West for Just across the Columbia lies
the White Salmon district, and it is
not probable that the people of
Hood River or White Salmon will
deny the fact that their fruit pro
ducts are as fine as can be produced
anywhere And in doing this they
praise the territory of Mosier, which
they surround on three sides.
But Mosier does not wish to shine by
a refracted light; does not base its
claims on what the neighbors do, but
on the real merits of its own lands.
The people make their claims. and give
reasons for their faith on what they
have already demonstrated. They dc
not say they can produce as good
apples as any other district. but show
you the apples and tell you that they
are the finest grown in the world
That is in some respects. In appear
ance, coloring and flavor they seen
fully to bear up this claim. But they
go a step beyond and say that foi
keeping qualities the Mosier apples are
the best in the world.
The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1912-03-14


Mosier is not large place, but just
why it does not show on the census of
1912 is past finding out, for lots of
places with less inhabitants are emu
merated thereon. There are on the
published reports more than a dozen
places with less than 100 people, one of
them, Butteylle, in Marion County,
with only 40. And assuredly there are
200 or 300 inhabitants in MosieT, and
fully 1000 in what we may call the
Mosier district.
And il may be well to explain what
territory is comprised in this district.
Mosier is about six miles east of Hood
River and l6 miles west of The Dalles,
the town having most beautiful and
attractive site on the Columbia River,
and the 0. w. X. & N. lines pass
through the town. there being a beau
tifuI and commodious depot, as well as
large switches and sidetracts.
Going from the west on the river or
railway you pass by range of almost
impossible hills a mile or so west of
the town, and there is similar range
about the same distance to the east.
These hills diverge considerably as
they lead to the south and finally con
meet with the mountains at the foot Of
Mount Hood, and the territory between
these ranges comprises the Mosier dis
trict. 1t is cut ott from east and west
by these hills, from the north by thC
Columbia and from the south by Noun

a committe Of the local Commercial

at the train and eudeavor to show

Other Fruits Well Handled.

That is perhaps enough to say along
those lines, enough to prove that the
claims of the Mosier people as to their
apples are well founded. But the
Mosier of the future is not going to
depend on the apple alone. The output
of other fruits is large. This year it
is estimated there will be shipped from
that place the following: 100 carloads
of apples. 25 of prunes, 10 of cherries,
five of peaches and 10 of pears, apri-
cots and strawberries.
In all there are some u, 600 acres of
prime fruit land contiguous to Mosier,
and perhaps three times as much rough
land. All the uncleared land is COW
cred with scrub oak brush and is easily
cleared. lnnumerable springs are
scattered all along the hillsides. The
rainfall, rather the entire precipitation
of the country, is about 30 inches per
annum, or about the normal amount
necessary for the production of crops.
So no irrigation is practiced or neces-
sary.
There is no better land anywhere for
general farming, the growing of veg
etables and grains. The lands are held
at low prices. the rough lands particu-
larly, and there are innumerable op-
portunities for persons with small

Class of Citizens Good.

Taking it all in all, Mosier is a
mighty nice place to live in. No town
has better class of citizens. There
are in the town and immediate vicinity
more than 40 university graduates.
Intelligence is the rule and not the
exception; and this is more nearly true
with relation to the women than to the
men. And when it comes to house
wives, then the Mosier women shine
supreme. Some four years ago they
gave banquet which | had the pleas-
ure of attending and it was one of the
most unique and enjoyable occasions |
can recall until last night when they
tried to outdo themselves by furnishing
feed that was more elaborate and
substantial and just as delicious. But

said about their unity of action. |
