through one of the moat prosperous
sections of country in the state. From
Powell Valley on the soil is especially
fertile. Hay an»i vegetable«» are abund
antly productive. All this section has
been heavily wooded in times past and
much of it will have to be cleared. But
at that it offers an opportunity to buy
ers that cannot be outclassed in any
other part of the state. It will cost
something to clear this land, but when
it is cleareil it is not excelled anywitere

The scenery is grand. Mt. Hool and
miles of the Cascade Range are in view

of water just from mountain springs.
The road will enter Sandy from the
west an<l will follow along the Bluff's to
the north, about six blocks away from
what is now the businere part of town.
The view from this point is gran»i beyond
comparison with anything to be seen in
this part of the county. The bluffs of
the Sandy drop abruptly to the north to
the river which appears to be a good
thousand feet below. The view is un
interrupted for ten miles northward,
an<l for 25 miles to the east, where Mt.
Hood fills up the ea«tern end of the
canyon. It is worth going mil«*« to see
and we susp«*ct that Sandy will tn* the
