Prosperous Hooal River Valley.
Though the annual precipitation at
Hood River is . about 3d inches, irriga
tion is a very important factor in the
propperity of the Hood River valley.
Hince irrigation came into practice on a
considerable scale five years ago tbe
population of tbe valley has quad
rupled, tbe price of land has incieased
300 per cent and the entire fruit ship
ping business of that locality has grown
up. Sixty thousand crates of straw
berries ( two dozen boxes to the crate)
and 100 carloads of apples, of last
year's production, have been shipped
from that station, and larga quantities
of fine apples are still going forward to
market.
Irrigable Acreage Increased.
Tbe great abundance of snow in tbe
mountains bas result in an increase
in the acreage of irrigable land that
will be placed under cultivation this
season in Baker county. In many in
