Hill last Thursday, means far more for the north bank of the Columbia river than the coming of the railways did for the Yakima valley, Wenatchee, Kennewick and other points. Wonderful as was the development of the Yakima valley, it is as nothing compared with what will take place in Goodnoe Hills and Cliffs. - GOODNOE HILLS A WOJTDERTTJLLY PRODUCTIVE tract of about 1,000 acres in the couth eastern part of Klickitat county Wash.. Jut east of the promising- town of Cliffs. The soil Is from 10 to 40 feet deep and is unequalled for the produetlon of fruit. espsclaJly for NUTS, particularly walnuts and ALMONDS. Being- protected by the Columbia Hills from the cold north winds, and warmed by tha warm Chinook winds which sweep up the Columbia, and sub-Irrigated by couiitless springs, formerly the heavy snowa and rains seep ing down from the hills to the lower levels. These lands produce an abundance of fruits, vegetables and nuts. English walnuts, al mdnHs, grapes, watermelons, peaches, apricots and cherries are all grown here to the best advantage. A tn-are tract of almond trees will, when five years old, bring a minimum annual return of 81,000.00 net. and this will gradually increase until at ten years it will double. These are jnlnlmum figures; conservative estimates have doubled these amounts. No crop Is surer, safer or requires less care. v There being a limited nut-producing area, there will never be an over-production. Almond culture in the Goodnoe Hills is no experiment, the harvest being there as evidence of thesuperlorJtv of the soil and climate. The trees are laden every year almost to breaking point. Almond trees begin to bear at the third year At six years the production is 25 to 30 pounds per season, and this doubles in ten years. With 100 trees to the acre, and the market price S 15 per 100 pounds in ton lots, It can be readily seen why we are so enthusiastic about ALMONDS. QUE QUARTER CASH. BALANCE : ANNUAL PAYMENTS. 7 Per Cent $100 PER ACRE DP Terms: CLIFFS THE NEW TOWN Offers to property owners in Goodnoe Hills all that a city, can in the way of schools and social advantages. It is situated on the Columbia River, surrounded, by a fruit and wheat country of vast wealth, and is provided with shipping facilities which cannot but make a great future for it. Cliffs was started September 1, 1907, and when five months old had 60 buildings, 5.000 feet of water mains. 3,000 feet of side walk. Cliffs is the district terminal of the Spokane, Portland & Seattle railway, and is the gateway of the Klickitat valley, and the cross-roads between Clickitat county, Wash., and Sherman county, Or., one ferry being now in operation and another is to be added. Cliffs has railroad improvements amounting to $150,000 in roundhouse, coal bunkers, yards, etc. The yard tracks are a mile in length, and contain, all told, about 15 miles of- track. Electric light and flour mill companies are being organized now'. Twelve thousand acres have been sold around Cliffs to capitalists for subdivision.
