The fond is EXTREMELY FERTILE; being rich RED-SHOT soil, favored by fruit growers for apples and berries.; It is situated five to ten miles from town. It is well WATERED arid DRAINED and crossed by a county road. K There is no better fruit land in America. HOOD RIVER valley land has gained UNIVERSAL ; FAME for its fruit-especially for the SUPERIORITY of. its APPLES. The limited area of thistfamous valley will soon be taken -up and before long will QUADRUPLE in value. If you ignore this chance you. will regret it all your lifer; :'.

There re good profits In crowing apples and strawberries.- Fruit raised In this val ley pays from $400 to $700 per: acre. ' Many started In a small way and today tliey are Independent. There is . no I question about finding a market for everything one -produces. - Apples are marketed for the growers : at the highest price paid anywhere In ' the world while still on the tree. There ; Is a unity of action among the grswers j which cannot be found In any other section and there is no danger of over J production. The apple crop ' of the , united States has decreased from 74. , 000,000 barrels In 1894 to $4,000,000 barrels last-year. ' .. !
