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

Have you noticed the touch of sunshine we
have had? 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.
