Means Much for Goodnoe Hills and Cliffs
The Spokane, Portland & Seattle railway, which was -opened by J. J. 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.

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. Samuel Hill, vice-president of the
Great Northern, and associates, have purchased about 40,000 acres near Cliffs. There are good business openings here. Busi
ness lots $300 up. Residence sites $100 up. YOU WILL MAKE NO MISTAKE IF YOU FOLLOW THE ARROW. COME
