WORLD SERIES BRINGS

present series is completed the gate

J Commission will reach the impressive
total of more than SO 500 900 Notwith-

trary it is doubtful if big league base
ball would have mounted to its i'm

World Series.
The battle for the championship is
the logical climax for each seasons

to two million spectators have paid
almost three and half million dol

play beyond cavi Since 1905, when
the National Commission began its

struggle for the fifteenth champion

During the past fourteen seasons
| the attendance totaled l. 15,494 and
as rs games were played in these ser.

very close to $4,000 per game. In the

games being $3,429,72O in round fig

/ Further delving into the figures
shows that the club sums divided

Of the customary sixty and forty split,
the average would have been better

While it is almost impossible to as
certain just how many players figured
in the division of the money during
the past fourteen years fair average
would be in the neighborhood OF
twenty-five per club Using this aver
age as basis it will be seen that
about 700 players have, at one time or

it has been customary for the winning
combination to receive 90 per cent of

The expansion Of the Hood River

take place largely in the Upper Valley

has made great progress in the past
tiye years, and even as great advance

The Glacier has been furnished with
the following brief but comprehensive
and expressive paragraphs setting
forth facts on Upper Valley opportun-
tiles:
This soil grows the best potatoes in
the Pacific northwest. One grower
took S4, 500 worth off of seven acres in

are eagerly sought after by seed men.
The largest and finest strawberry
field IN the northwest is on this soil
81 acres. The berries brought S. 80
last season per crate.
The finest alfalfa hay. apples, pears
and vegetables grow in this section.
The heads of the Agricultural Ex-
pertinent station in Hood River bought
pear orchard in the Dee section a
few years ago and their profits were so
great they bought another tract this
year. These fellows are fruit experts
and when they buy in district you
can gamble they know what they are
doing. Moral Buy a tract of land
and make some money.
The cheapest irrigation water We
know of anywhere in the northwest
covers this tract of logged-off land.
You can get water for S3 25 per inch if
