THE HOOD RIVER NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 31, 1911 3 LOOK AT THE MAP 'OU HAVE SEEN IT. The map of Hood Iiiver Valley is in ail sorts of publicity literature. And right there, in the very centre of it, within the city, is Taradise Farm. Look at the map, and see. In the past ten years the population of Hood River Valley has jumped from hundreds to thousands. And there probably is no region in the United States-excepting, it may be, Los Angeles County, California -where the character of the later arrivals is so high, and their wealth so secure. Most regions require two generations from the forest to the finished farm -from a state of nature to macadam roads, modern plumbing and the electric light. Hood River Valley has already leaped that gulf. Everything that an enlightened civilization has declared necessary, these people have-from Cloud Cap Inn tp the Columbia river. The advance in property values in the next five years will be tremendously rapid, because the start is so substantial, and the natural conditions are so nearly perfect. Hood River will be bigger than The Dalles. Property here will be as desirable as in the suburbs of Portland. That is why an acre lot in Paradise Farm is a good investment. It is in the very centre of an uncommon growtn, both as to popula tion and as to wealth. The Farm has never before been offered in small tracts; but beginning with June first, and continuing until all south of Adams street i3 sold, you may buy a one-acre lot there, within the city of Hood River, of prime soil, free of stump or stone, in view of both Mount Adams and Mount Hood, with the majestic Columbia and the beautiful Washington shore before you. And you may buy it for one-fourth down and the balance at the end of five years. Don't you think an acre on that slope, anywhere from Belmont Road to Adams street, will be worth while in five years? This is not a bid for the Eastern Investor. It is more espe cially an offer to the people of Hood River, who may have let some opiortunities go by but who have this best of opportunities right now within their grasp. See the owners, at Paradise Farm, State and Thirteenth streets, Hood River, Oregon.

Where Space Means Money The Santlan News remarks: A great many people, organizations and Institutions seem to think that newspaper space should lie free to them. All newspapers are willing to do their share and more of boosting. Hut there Is a limit, Space Is the newspaper man's source of bread and butter. It Is just as reasonable to ask the merchant to give his goods or the farmer to give his products. 1 1 costs money to run a newspaper, just as It does the store or farm.
