M'o havu not tho upuro to nho n do talk'd n ount of the modalH, but wo cannot full to mention tho prizea, tnU'1! bj M. M. Hill, who recently Fold u.'ii acres of his orchard for J1G00 per ncro.

Thuso things would Indlcnlo i (hat the man who paid 1COO pel i' for n part of this orchnrd got 'Ih- x.orth of his money. Tl e KPiiernl nppcnrniico of the ex l.lhltc was much Improved over Hint of any iirevloiiH fair.

Ifcreliifcr.j their exhibits wero In Klfiilflcnnt mid of an Inferior order, but 1 Id. 1 nu they had one of the fin hi '-xIiIIjIih In the bltf pitvlllou. Mos I.T mid White Kalmon exhlbllH were iil-.c. mi Iniprovomeiit over former ex ..ih l.'ih, iiartli iilnrly that of White rinliiiou, which was next lo the upper vull'-y lu Mint of ndvmicement, Aintht 1 IntereotlnK feuturo of the rnl r ts the grape cxldblt from Thu le'leM, which was the finest weluivo eor seen, belnK of such superior ouallty us to Hiiccossfully compete with California's best products. We spent six months lu the mnpe dis tricts of the Hiii iiiini'iito mid Han Joa l 11 1 11 ynlleys, nt tlie tlmu of the year when thu Krnpes wero about their icst, hut wo 'never saw such splendid hunches, with Hie berries so closely ih1 mid ho law mid oven In hI.o lliere, as wero those 011 exhibition from The Dalles. Hood Itiver Iiiih ihu reputation for apldeH mid wo be liellevu It will never be equalled In ho production of IiIkIi (Iiisk apples; nit Tlio Dalles, If they will adopt loud Itlver'H methods In thu hiiiiu NiiKuml kdiwIiik of their Krupes will vl Hi In it few years enjoy jusl iiskooiI a reputation for lliolr superior grapes, Wo havu Mover seen such beautiful Tokays and MuncutcllcH miy where as Mere on exhibition there. There Is 11 project on fool to ship thu entire uxhi ..011 to Keattlu for Ihu Kxposltlou there next year. Tho people there can do no better than to lo this mid It will mean hundreds of thousmidH of dollars for that litllo (iniiity If they do. Ii was HioiikIiI 11 i'ooIIsIi thliiK when the citlxouu there put up ho much money to send a car load of their flue apples to Kt, liuls al the exposition theio but they io hIiico reaped it thousand fold from what they spent lu that adver tisement. Then laud was hcIIIiik from l.'liii) lo ISOD per aero for Improved property. Now It Ih soIIIiik from tROO o IKith) per acre, why? lleemiKo the fruit on exhibition ihero k'ivu to (lie peoplo of tho eiinl, who have money mi Plea of tho Hileuilld conditions hero lit thu west and they have been coming and kMuk every man his price for the land they have select ed. Tlie Imlldlm; operations durluu thai time have reached oer $:ifi0,0u0 ami more than eO HiiliHtnntlnl mid boautlful NtructureH havu been elect- ihI. Till Is certainly 11 fine record for a llllle place (o that. It Is the dlioct lemilt of tho ailverlUhiK this ("opto hate done, and what Iiiih been aceompllnlicil (hero can ho done here. What they have done lu a horticul tural way, for that Ih thelronly hourcr if ki'vHi practically, wo can do hero omuierclally mid In manufacturo. I'liero me hundreda of sites heru for fat'loi loH mid Iioimch and slures, wher HiiecoHnful operations may bu carried on in the fluent locality 011 earth, what we need to do Is to tell It. I'lu-re Ih 110 iiho In talkliiK, Hood Itiver a iimt touch uh wllli a ten- foot ptde as a place for a home. While there they aro Improving their NlieetH as fast as they can, i will 1 ont them ten dollars to our one mid' It will not he hulf so well done nor last half so long afterward, because of the hilly condition of the country. Another thing during tho long sum mer they have bucIi high winds that It Is very disagreeable to say tho least; while here, wo have the quiet est kind of weather tho year round, no snow, no severe cold, the finest, levelest streets lu the world, Hint may bo Improved nt a minimum of cost. Hood Itiver boasts of her beautiful scenery, mid she has the finest on earth, without doubt, but It reaches clenr down to St. Johns, growing grander, and more exionslvo as It comes. Take n trip ovor on 'nlt wood Court and from n hundred view polntB In Hint splendid tract you may scan as prelty a scene as any In Hood Itiver county. Wo have not n hard word to say about Hood lllver, It Is a lovely valley. Wo bellovo the finest fruit section lu the world, It has somo of the finest people on onrtli, n delightful cllmnte; we lovo every Inch of her territory and every man, woman and child that Uvea there; but with tho exception of the fruit we think St. .Johns has It skin ned lo a fnre-you-well.
