SOUTH MOSIER VALLEY
OFFERS BIG OPPORTUNITIES
A trip into the "Interior" of the
Mosier valley, if the expressiou may
be UHed, reveuls a large area, or rath
er a number ot long stretches of tim
ber country, of rich soil, good timber
and grand views of mountain and can
yon. 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.

was the bottom of a large hike, as is

freed the imprisoned waters and in
their mad rush to the sea cut out the
several deep canyons whose creek bot

The same doposits of volianio ath,

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. It is understood that this
!
property will be cut up Into small
tracts aud placed on the market.
O. 1). Maoliowan baa added much
to the appearance of his ranch within
20 minutes' drive from the atation, by
the addition of a fine 5-room cottage.
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. A. Stark has 40 acres less than a
mile from town which ii beiug partly
Irrigated from a large spring which is
capable of a How of about 15 miner's
inches ot water. About balf of this
amount has been turned on the laud
and Mr. Stark is growlug a larger
unoiin' of gardeu truck, which he
llnils quite profitable. He la consid
er a lily interested in ground o berries,
as he this year ptiked live orctes from
volunteer plants scattered through his
garden, wb cb netted him fs.40. Mr.
Stark Kays they aro prollllo hearers,
requite but little attention, and find
ready sale ou the Portlaud market.
Among the industries of Moaier
may bo mentioned the box factory ol
(irceij & Denny, which is turning out
about :ii0 apple boxes per day. Since
the Hie ot a year ago the place has
beeu rigged up temporarily, the
watet power being incomplete.

Hiiotiier exception among the undo
veloped ranches on Koch creek. He
is using gouts with unqualified suc
cess in clearing laud, aud now has
about 10 head making their living ofl
the brush land on his place, aud at
the same time clearing the laud of all

gouts inure than pay for their keep,

as a handsome profit with a aupplj

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. While in a section
of the Cascade mountains that stretch
es away broken, wild aud picturesque
to the eye, yet the ridges aud can
yons are reached by well made roads
aud comparatively easy grades from
the railway stations. Available laud

The father and mother of the lad
have been separated for some tinie,

it is claimed, grew despondent and
yesterday decided to kill himself.
8enuriiig a quantity of strychnine last
evening he poured water ou it aud
without waiting for the substance to

Child like he immediatel ran to his

Strange that so young a child has
