There Is 11 project on fool to ship
thu entire uxhi ..011 to Keattlu for

people there can do no better than to
lo this mid It will mean hundreds of

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.
