This land lies on the benches in the foothills, extending from the beautiful Columbia river southwesterly towards our mill at Green
Point. - It will.be subdivided into tracts of various sizes. 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; :'.

To the Editor of Th Journal-rHood

growing valley tn the world. 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. ' ..
