Last year this patch produced for Its owner $866.46 net. There are other In stances of big yields In many tines and the records of them are .In the hands of The Dalles BusiriVss Men's associa tion, which Is always glad to supply lliein on application. XTew Tracts Opcaed. During the last year three new tractj have been opened to settlement near The Dalles and land can be purchased for 'farm or orchard purposes at from $50 to $200 per acre, according to lo cation and Improvements, and in parcels varying from 5 to 20 acres, in addition the Dufur district, 15 miles away. Is forging to the front as an apple and pear section in which chances to buy land at reasonable figures still exists. Some Idea of the proportions to which the rnlt Industry has advanced at The Dalles may be had from the fact that outside of those sent out by. boat and the country is fully era of road Improvement strikes In the large quantity sold directly to the local cannery. In the neighborhood of 100 carloads were shipped last year by rail. - - The drive through The Dalles suburbs Is one of the .mot fascinating In the state as the country la rolling and the scenery on that account aubleot to fre quent change. Kor soma distance the road to the south winds gradually up the sides of the bluff which overlooks the town," affording a plendid view, of the Columbia river and the Cascade range In all directions. From portions hit It Mount Adams Is plainly visible and the orchards and cultivated fields clinging to the hillsides make up a series of .pictures not soon to be for-cotlen. At present these roads are In fairly good condition, but bye and bye, when ceveiopea ana me tne thoroughfares about the cherry city will prove its most attractive feature and will render the neighborhood one of the most delightful for driving pur poses to be found anywhere. Tutnre mil, of Promise. Tho future Is full' of promise for The Dalles as it Is for ail the Columbia river towns with large agricultural sec tions surrounding tifnm. i ne ireeaoin of transportation which It 1s soon to j possess through the opening or the Celllo canal and the establishment of additional boat lines which must fol low, while it Is the most Important of the Improvements to which the town Is looking forward, la not the only one. The era of reconstruction, of tearing down and rebuilding. Is already In sight and among the new undertakings prom ised in this line Is an up to date rail road station for the Oregon Railroad & Navigation company and a new hotel uu i ii in mo wpbi run ui iitw 11 mu.uuii- venlent to its business section. Activity In residence construction Is already unaer way. The city Is also looking forward to an increase In population and Import ance through the opening of the North Bank road which will bring It Into con nection with three great railway sys tems to the east, namely, the Northern Pacific, the Great Northern and the Burlington routes. These open to It competitive markets and also afford chance to contend for a share of the great immigration which those lines arc constantly bringing Into the northwest. After all said and done, however, the out-of-door spirit referred to In the earlier portion of this article and the disposition to Improve the soil back of tne town, together wltn the movement to open the large landholdlngs and sell them off In small tracts for cultl vation, Is the first and best hope of The Dalles and will if persisted in for very few years render the neighbor hood one of the most delightful resi dence districts In Oregon.
