CITY WAS WRITTEN UP 2HEARS AGO To those who are comparatively new residents of the valley it will be of in terest to note that Hood River's fame was beginning to be heralded abroad a quarter of a century ago. A write-up i of the city was contained in the West j Shore, an illustrated magazine publish- j ed by L. Samuel in Portland 25 years j ago. This was probably the first bit ! of publicity work done for the valley : and it la evident that the city then took second place to Paradise Farm, ; Dr. W. L. Adams' beautiful home. Oak j street was the only one of consequence ' and Hon. E. L. Smith's house the only large one in the city. The residence on Paradise Farm had Just been completed. The store build ing of George P. Crowell, then owned by Mr. Smith, was the only two-story business house, another one was being erected on the south side of Oak, all the other business houses were little shacks, nearly all of which have since been removed. While a few may have read the ar ticle, the News reprints a part of it, which follows: It Is generally conceded, by those whose travels render their opinions valuable, that the mountains of the Pacific Coast, from Alaska to Mexico, do not hold in their embrace a more beautiful, salubrious and fertile valley than that of Hood River. No more de lightful or healthful place of residence could be hoped for, and none where nature more willingly lends ber aid to the efforts of man to surround himself with the beauties, luxuries and food products of the vegetable world. The river Is a stream of pure moun tain water, owing northward from its fountain bead amid the melting snows and glacies of Mt. Hood, and uniting with the Columbia about midway be tween the Cascades and The Dalles. Along Its length, right through the heart of the Cascade mountains, lies a valley of remarkable beauty and fer tility, one of the most charming, healthful and enjoyable summer re sorts of the Pacific Coast. The mountains abound in large and mall game, and the river and its as sociate streams are noted for the ex cellence and abundance of their trout. Many an Invalid has restored his health, and many a man infirm with age has almost renewed the vigor of his youth, by surrendering himself to the full enjoyment of the pleasures the mountains and streams afford, and by breathing the life giving atmosphere. The railroad crosses the river near its mouth, and a short distance above Is the chaming little town of Hood Klver. This is the shipping and sup ply point for the many prosperous set tlers In the valley, and enjoys a good and Increasing trade. The valley is renowned for Its fertility, for the sire and quality of Its vegetables, and the superior excellence of its fruit, and In humidity is about midway between the moisture of the Willamette Valley and the dryness of Kastern Oregon. Peaches are superior In flavor to those of California. Soft shell almonds are equal to the famous ones of Chill, and apple are of such superior size and flavor, that even the Willamette Val ley, that famous land of "big red ap ple," baa to take a back seat Among the most beautiful homes in Oregon is that of Dr. W. L. Adams, at Hood River. The doctor Is an old pioneer, having driven his own ox team across the plains in 1848. After nearly three years of travel through North, Central and South America, tak ing the Sandwich Islands, he select ed Hood River Valley as the most de sirable place for a home he had yet found. The air Is of such a crystal clear ness that Mount Hood, 22 miles south west, and Mount Adams, forthy miles to the north, both glistening with eter nal snow, and both in plain view of the house, appear as though they were only a few miles distant. The doctor's place Is located at the forks of four wagon roads, half a mile west of the railroad depot. A beautiful road, smooth and slightly as cending leads to it. It contains three hundred and twenty acres of excellent land, mostly under fence, one hundred acres in cultivation and one hundred and fifty in pasture, with a fine wagon road running on three sides of it. The whole surface has a gentle slope to the Columbia River.where steamboats, flat boats and pleasure boats, with Indian canoes, paddled by "Native Americans," after the swimming deer, or who fish for sturgeon, salmon and trout, all add to the interest of the view. To the north, across the Columbia, can be seen White Salmon River, heading among the snows of Mount Adams, and winding through torturous ways cut through the mountains, and lashing itself into foam over huge boulders, till it enters the Columbia. Here hundreds of Indians are often camped to catch and dry salmon for winter use, while as many as two thousand are busy gathering whortle berries at the foot of Mount Adams. Besides what they dry, the squaws visit the white settlers for fifty miles around, selling whortleberries, cran berries, salmon and trout, bear, elk and deer meat. On either side of White Salmon Riv er, running up from the Columbia, are mountains rising from two to three thousand feet, with large patches of prairie, dotted with farms and pas tured with stock. The scene is grand, and to a poet, simply indescribable. At the railroad depot, half a mile from the doctor's home. Hood River empties into the Columbia. It rises In Mount Hood snows, and goes roaring over the rocks with a voice that can be heard from the mountains above till it finally sinks to rest in the bosom of the Columbia. Hood River is noted for its trout many of which are from 20 to 28 inches long. The waters of Hood Riv er and White Salmon River, fed by the snows of the mountains, are so pure and cold during the whole summer and the fish taken from them are hard and delicious. During the summer, the wind comes in strong, mild breezes up the Colum bia, direct from the ocean. Hot, re laxing weather Is not known here. The country and climate seem to be fasci nating. People sometimes settle here for a time, when their migratory In stincts Induce them to go somewhere else; but they almost invariably re turn. V i doctor has a large orchard, and will this fall set out over one thous and mc 'a trees. His place Is supplied with numerous springs, two of which are strong enough to turn a small tur bine wheel all cold sweet water. Ouo spring gushes from the hillside about 80 rods back of the house, having a fall of about 80 feet, and serves, through iron pipes, to supply the house witii water. It also furnishes abundant wa ter for his carp pond and a sturgeon pond Immediately below it. Besides this, there Is left enough for lrrlgat ing purposes, and to supply the barn lot and all of the fifteen buildings on the place. No mineral can be de tected by the taste, but it turns all wood with which it comes In contact to stone iu a few years. In front of the house is a marble fountain, im ported from France at a cost of $2,500. To sum it all up. In the words of an intelligent lady artist Just from Aus tralia,"! have been all over the world and I never saw as beautiful a place as Dr. Adams has in Hood Rivet The tourist seeking a few days of rest in a paradise of nature, the over worked business man seeking a re laxation from mental toil, the spor'a- man and the Invalid, will all find all that heart can desire in Hood River Valley; while the immigrant, seeking a place where patient toil and intelli gent industry may build a home for himself and family, will need to look no further for the golden opportunity SUMMONS In the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon for Hood River County.

Didn't it make you feel like Spring was coming? It sure did usand we got busy with our bob sheds and other Win ter goods and piled them in the corner way up stairs. Then we rearranged our display on the main floor- and In our windows. We are rather proud of it now - looks pretty goods. Got the Spring goods out where you can see them. It's awfully hard to talk plows and harrows and such lines when the snow is on the ground, and it seems so long before these goods can be used. But now -well, it's different. In our windows we have a display of the Petaluma Incubators. That seems to be In the public mind right now- we've had more inquiries about these Incubators and brood ers than anything else. If we had you here at our store we could talk intelligently about these Incubators we could show you how they operate and why they are the Best in the World. We will try to tell you some thing about them here but would lots rather have you call and see for yourself. If you have time, come in and get the free booklet on Petaluma Incubators and brood ers. It is interesting reading. Or drop us a card and we'll mall you one. More people are going Into the Chicken Business every year. Hood River is cer tainly an Ideal place for raising them. The climatic conditions are right. But even though we had the cold of Alaska or the heat of Southern California these incubators would do Just as well. Here Is something worthy of consideration.. .Take any map of the United States and look at the large area comprising the Rocky Mountain region and westward to the Pacific Ocean. Vou will find that it is about one third of the entire United States, within which nearly every climatic condition exists that can be found In the Inhabitable portion of the world. 'And yet more Petaluma Incubators are in use In all this vast section of country than all other makes of Incubators combin ed. Petatuma Incubators are widely scattered and are successfully operated In Alaska at as low a temperature as 60 degrees below zero; In the Interior valleys of California and Arizona where the temperature is fre. quently 120 degrees and even more during the day, where rain does not fall for from five to six months at a stretch, and on tho mountains of tho Sierras and Rockies at nearly 4,000 feet altitude. An ostrich will swallow almost anything from an orange to a railroad spike, so it is said. There are many makers of incuba tors turning out cheaply constructed, low priced machines, who get up as fine Illus trations and who make claims as strongly worded as anything we can say about the "Petaluma Incubators and Brooders," and expect the public to act like the ostrich in swallowing capacity. The buyer that wants the best there is to be had is at a loss to determine relative values from the Illustrations and descrip tions, for if a picture of a $10.00 machine is made to look as good as a real High-grade incubator, how is he to know the difference? In such a case he Is likely to be Influenced by the price and soon thereafter finds his incubator on the Junk pile. He should re member that articles of MERIT and WORTH have a value below which they cannot be produced. There are values in certain things, merchandlr.e and manufac tured articles, that no one questions. For example, no person expects to buy a $20.00 gold piece for less than $20.00, or any of the standard makes of pianos, carriages, auto mobiles, typewriters or hundreds of other articles of the highest type below their actual value. Surely no one In purchasing a suit of clothes at $10.00 believes he is get ting as good value as In one of $25.00. Not withstanding actual difference In values, the manufacturer of cheap goods is contin ually representing that his product Ib as good as the best. If he would only say his product is as good as he knows how to make and worth only what he asks for It, no per son could possibly complain, but how Is the novice to know all this? There is only one Bafe plan get It from someone whom you know personally Is ready to back his state ments; someone who is' ready and willing to give your money back if your purchase Ib not entirely satisfactory.
