Aside fiom the old state slae road passiug from Hood Kiver throtinh Mosier to The Dalles, all otl.er roads radiate from the railway station to the higher levels to the south. From a common starting point thoy wend their way up along either side of Mo sier and Koclc creeks, or up each one of the four ridgea or backbones of the mountnin range that slopes with a gradual ascent towards Mt. llond. home time lu the ages long ago this was the bottom of a large hike, as is evidenced by well defied high-water marks, washed gravtl, etc. Piobably old Mt. Hood had something to do with changlug the topography of the ! --Mi - Cliaiiilierllii'H country and caused eruptions which freed the imprisoned waters and in their mad rush to the sea cut out the several deep canyons whose creek bot toms ate hundreds of feet below the ummits of tho ridges on either side. The same doposits of volianio ath, either in the form of a mixture of whitish clnv soil or redd sh shot lund, that is characteristics of Hood River, is found in the Mosier valloy. Jt is covered by the same kind of trees and vegetation, lite orctianis mat nave beeu planted lu the clearings here aud there in tin midst of the virgin forests.

Yet, outside of the few highly de veloped farms just east and soul beast of the station, but little is known of the Mosier velley.

Of the two townships in tho Mosier dia trict there are probaby 25,000 acres of good tilllable land suscept'l e of rais ing the finest of fruit. Along these several roads are homesteads, some ol them abandonel as a residence by the owner, and many with small clearings Sa. a : . . 'i - ' '- f. l I '. V-,"! Mosier und a disposition on the part of the i,wnors to make improvements as fast as possible Taken us a whole, however, Mosier is an undeveloped country. It is a country as yot practically in a primi tive stute with a few exceptions, yet with tit que-t ionalily a bright future It certainly invites the young man with limited means to make a start iu life, with the sure promise of a valua ble property ut the end of a period of years. The quality of the soil is demonstrated by bearing orchards here and there, and the new comer need make no experiments as to the kind of fruit best adapted to this par ticular locality. He can find all kinds In the clearings of bis neigh bors, in bearing. Laud values range from seven dol lars an acre tip, depending upon loce tion aud adaptability for cultit ation. Ou tbe ridges inside the ten-mile lim it, good unimproved laud can be had for fl,' to &!0 an acre, with a little less desiraide land for 81,200 to M.UH0 a quarter section. Partly improved ranches cau be had up to 1100 au acre, depending on improvements and other conditions. Other property is also being cleared up, set to apples aud placed ou the market at lo0 au acre. Among tbe places beiug improved in tbe South Mosier country are the farms of J. 11. Heilbronner & Co. aud C. I). Mactiowau. The former are improving a line quarter soot ion on tbe ridge east of Mosier creek less ihan nve miles from town. inis place was purchased of John Kvans vho with Frank Maccy is iu charge of the work of cleariug aud setting to apples.

He has 12 aciea cleared, of which sev en aoies are set out to apples. Includ ing 5 acres in beating. Mr. Mcllowau contemplates digging an artesian well on the place, which would double its value. V.

With the exception of a few in stances to note improvements in the south end of the Mosier valley, it is not the intention of this article to de scribe individual places. The trip through this section of Mosier win made by the writer with a view of as ceitaiuing what lay outside of the few highly-developed ranches near towu, and which have been described from time to time through the columns ol the (ilacier. it was at once apparent that there exists several thousand acres of choice fruit land in au unde veloped country.

It was evidently not strong enough to produce the deisred effect; but a phy sician was summoned aud adminis tered the necessary antidote aud the boy lives to tell the tale Strange that so young a child has found life such a burden that he would be freed from it.
