This portion of the canal la regarded
us the most difficult to coustruot in

When completed the canal will be Bp

No money is available with which

really strike it rich on McCoy nrk.

Robert Leasure was down from

Mrs. Keis is anixous to get a herd of
seven or eight cows. 1). K. Cooper

holies to bo able to do tho same.
While the cream route established
recently at Mount Hood by the
Hazelwood Creamery Co. of Portland
is not securing a ureat deal of eionm
all because there are not sntHeieut
cows in the valley, the people iu gen
eral are well pleased with the experi
ment. Several are awaiting to to see
just how their neighbors make it,
and as soon as they secure the cows
will themselves be patrous of tho
route.
Oscar FredeubuiB. who onerntes th
stage line from Mount Hood post
office and also carries the mail, brings
the cream cans to the exuress nttlc.
each Tuesday and Friday. Two sta
tions have been established mm nt
Cribble's store and tho other at
Shelly 's store at Odell. The Mount
Hood farmers take their e renin In Mr
Oribble's store the day before it is
shipped, where each farmer's cream
Is weighed and a portion of t tie cream
taken out for testiug. The same will
ue done at Udell.
V. Winchell was at lieaverton last
week aud secured a hoard of cows for
his farm. Friday morning, William
Davidson of the West Sido accompan
ied Mr. Sherwood to Portland, and
expects to return this week with sev
eral good cows. Mr. Sherwood was
here several days looking after busi
ness oouneoted with the new route
here. He is the manager of the routes
established by the Hazelwood Cream
ery Co. throughout the state.
lhnrsday night the wholesale price
of Hazelwood butter in Portland went
up to 30o a pound. As this company
pays for buttorfat within a cent aud a
half of the wholesale price of Hazel
wood butter, it will mean ''8'., cunts
a pound for the farmer's butter int.
While the shipments of cream are
yet rather small, the Hazelwood neonlo
are well satislled with the good bo
ginning made here. They realize that
there is a groat insuflicioncy of cows.
and say they do not exnect heaw
business here for a year or more. Tho
Mount Hood Development Co. is tak
ing an active interest in furthering
the creamery route proposition, and
has promised the Ulacier oompleto re
ports from time to time as to how the
business is progressing, and what suc
oess and profit there is in the venture
to the farmers who ship the cream.
They Helped the Country Out.
The following letter written by An
drew Elliot, of Pittsburg, Or., to the
Hazelwood Cream Company, may be
of intorest to farmers who are think
ing of shipping their cream to Hazel
wood. Pittsburg, Or., to Hazelwood: One
year ago you asked me to ship you
my cream long enough to give you u
fair trial, and report to vou how 1
liked your system of dealing. 1 have
waited, not only long enough to know
how I like it myself, bi t with how
every one with whom 1 have talked
likes it. Iu reply to mv innuirv:
How do you like tho Hazelwood? My
answer is, "Still the same. FlliST
KATE."
Nothing ever came to this tuirt uf
the country before to help us out. I
see a good many have already im
proved their dairy stock and overv
one is preparing to do likewise. 1
ask some of my most familiar lriends,
"Uow can you atTord to buy such
stock? 1 always receive the same
answer: "All things are possible to
those who have faith. We havo faith
in the Hazelwood."
1 can only say for mvself what I
told your men, if 1 get dissatisfied, 1
hold my cream. If 1 could have good
health to enjoy this business a few
years after working and waiting for it
twenty live, 1 would lie satisfied.
I have been told by a good many
that this Nehalom Valley received
more money for cream iu the last
year than ever came to it for beef and
butter iu two years since its first set
tlement; aud 1 know this is true.
