'1'ho host view from tluit side alio is to he obtained from the heights almost ilirectly over tlu station of Hood, on thu North Hunk road From many points of view where the ram liers have mndo clearings and built their homes the whole of Hood Kiver Valley spreads out as a panorama, and most of the ranches in the lower vulley at least can be picked out with the aid of a glass. Over a thousand feet below runs the mighty Columbia, looking like a narrow stream and the boats tnat ply back und forth but tiny sbfclls on the water. The view from these points can not be excelled if equaled any where in this country of grand scenery. One of the pioneers of this section who has made a good showing by ten years of hard work is A. ,1. llaynes, whose clearing now amounts to -10 acres, and around his home are good buildings, including a new apple pack ing house just erected, 2 1 72 feet. Mr. HayiuM also has a convenient work sho where he can do ordinary black smith win k and repairing, while in another building; is a laundry fixed up with a gasoline engine to run the washing machine.

It is the boast of this section that all crops are grown without, irrigation, and that, it is not necessary to irrigate the land, but that a better quality of fruit can be grown without water. The treesjsliow a growth equal to any in the irrigated districts, while as many as four cuttings of altalfa are made in a season.
