about midway between the cascades

and the river and its associate
streams are noted for the excellence
and abundance of their trout,
many of which are from 20 to 28
inches long. ' The waters, fed by the
and cold during the entire summer
that the fish taken from them are
' hard and delicious." To the north,
across the Columbia, can be seen
from town White Salmon iriver,
heading among the snows of Mt.
Adams, and winding through tor-

over nuge oouiaers, un ii enters me
Polij.mbia.. On eit.Vier side of White
Salmon river, running up from the
CWutrrbia, are mountains rising
from 20(10 to 3f)00 feet, with ln.rfe
patches of prairie, dotted with farms
and ' pastured with stock. . The
cene is grand, and to a poet, sim
ply inaiscriDaoie.
Many an invalid has restored his
health, and many a man infirm
with age has almost renewed the
tigor of his youth, by surrendering
himself to the full enjoyment of
the pleasures ' the mountains and
stroams afford, and by breathing
the life-giving atmosphere. Dur-1
ing the summer, the wind comes in
strong, mild breezes up the Colum
bia, direct from the ocean. Hot,
relaxing weather is - not known
here. The country . and climate
seem to be fascinating. People
sometimes settle here for a time,
when their migratory instincts in
duce them to go somewhere else;
but they almost invariably return.
The railroad crosses the river
near its mouth, and a short dis
tance above is the charming little
city ot Hood Kiver, built m a
natural grove of magnificent oak
and trees.
It is a thrifty vil
lage of about 600 inhabitants, with
perhaps 2000 industrious settlers in
the valley immediately surround
ing the town. This is the shipping
and supply point for the many
prosperous settlers in the valley,
and enjoys a good and rapidly in
creasing trade. The Valley is" re
nowned for its wonderful fertility,
for the size 'and quality ; of its
vegetables and the superior excel
lence of its fruits and berries, be
ing noted from ocean to ocean for
its production of strawberries and
apples. Peaches are superior in
flavor to those of California. Soft
shell almonds are equal to the fa
mous ones of Chili, and apples are
of such superior size and flavor,
that even the Willamette Valley,
that famous land of "big red ap
ples," has to take a back seat.
The air is of such crystal clear
ness that Mt. Hood, 22 miles south
west and Mt. Adams, 40 miles to
the north,' both . glistening with
eternal snow, and both in plain
view of the town, appear 'as though
they were only a few miles distant.
The tourist seeking a few days of
rest in a paradise of nature, the
overworked business man seeking a
relaxation . from mental toil, the
sportsman and the invalid, will all
find all that heart can desire in
Hood river valley; while the immi
grant, seeking a place where patient
toil and intelligent industry may
build a home for himself and family,
will need to look no further for the
golden opportunity. . . V -
There are many magnificent
homes in and around Hood River,
notably those of Dr. W. L. Adams,
W. P. Watson, Capt, H. C. Coe,
Hon. J. W. Morton and Capt. A.
S. Blowers, about which the Sun
will have more to say later on. , -
Among the grandest and most
beautiful .homes in Oregon is that
of Dr. Adams, just west "of : town.
The Doctor is an old pioneer, hav
ing driven.his own ox team across
the plains in 1848. After several
years of travel through North, Cen
tral and South America, taking in
the Sandwich Islands, and Califor
nia, he selected Hood River valley
as the most desirable place for a
home he had yet found. To sum
it all up, in the words of an intelli
gent lady artist from Australia, "I
have been all over the world, and I
never saw as beautiful a place as
Dr. Adams has in Hood River val
ley." :
Hood River has a gravity system
of waterworks, which are supplied
from a large, never-failing spring,
at an elevation of 250 feet above
the town. The water has been
analized and pronounced to be the
purest and best in the world. '
vThere has as yet been no electric
light System established here, but
likely will be soon. There are, how
ever, a number of individual acety
lene gas plants in operation.
Hood River's social advantages
are as desirable as can be found
anywhere. There are three beauti
ful church edifices here Congrega
tionalist, Methodist and United
Brethren all strong, vigorous and
healthy societies.
Our graded school, of six (depart
ments, is one of the very best in the
state,the magnificent new build
ing costing nearly $10,000, and the
school isunder the supervision of
as able corps of teachers as can be
found. -
Hood River is an ideal place of
residence; a lovely little city of
homes, churches and schools. .
. Owing to the dense population
around;. Hood River, this section
has been favored with the rural
free delivery daily mail system, a
distinction - not enjoyed by any
other place of its size jn the western
country. Credit for this great con
venience is due Hon. E. L. . Smith,
one of the. most respected and
prominent pioneers of the' town,
who has been for many years prom
inently identified with local and
national politics, and who is very
popular with the administration at
Washington.
All lines of business are repre
sented here and those who are best
able to judge, confidently predict a
very rapid growth for Hood River,
from this time on; and that it will
doubtless double in " population
within the next year
All who are interested in the up
building and advancement of Hood
River and vicinity should do all in
their power to encourage good citi
zens and newcomers who come here
to reside and spend their money
making improvements, - thus en
hancing the value of our own prop
erty. Do not let us impress the
stranger with the idea that, because
we were fortunate enough to locate
here first, no one else has any right
to come here. . . Such selfishness
never built towns or cities. Let us
extend a welcome hand to the new
comer, and in helping him we help
ourselves. ' : -- .rvi
Hood River is already one of the
best towns on the Pacific Coast, and
is sure to become a .great deal bet
ter town in the near future. It is
pronounced by' those who : have
traveled the world over, to have the
most delightful elimate in the
world, not even excepting that
Italy; it being a happy medium
between the extremely dampclim
ate west of the Cascade mountains
and the extremely dry climate east
of the mountains. . lhe place
rightfully termed "The Paradise of
America."
There are always many annoy
ances and unlooked-for difficulties
encountered in getting out the first
issue of a paper. The Sun , has
been "up against" every one on the
list, and added others. No apology
will, therefore, be made for any de
lay or specified defects in this num
