The Camas Prairie IMstrlct offers not only the above fea ture but a speculation as well. Prices have just started to advance and I his district Is now Itecoinlng available, due to proposed drainage, The land, lelng of a deposit nature, Is very productive nud will lie valu able for the propuctlou of high grade timothy bay as well as for general dairying purposes. 1 he people of the White Salmon Valley are In much the same coudl Hon as In our own Valley In that they are heacy consumers anc light producers. The haul on feed Is cheaper lu many rases from Camas Prairie to the consumer than from White Salmon. The land, although very rich, Is not producing the tame grrsses at prvsuut due toovertlow during a por tion of each year. A system of canals Is to Ikj put lu by "Camas Prairie Drainage System Numler One", which will eliminate this water and the ground will then be available for domestic crops. Bonds are being sold covering a term of years to do this work. We have some very Interesting In vestments to offer at Camas Prairie and we expect to deal almost entirely with local (teople, who may have a surplus to Invest In something other than orchard lands.
