During the past ten weeks about one-half the acreage of the CENTRAL ORCHARD CO. in The Heart of the
Hood River Valley has been sold. It had been expected that a year or more would be consumed in moving this prop
erty but it has proven so attractive to local people and new settlers that eight out of nineteen lots have been sold. A
crew of men is now at work clearing tracts for purchasers and grading roads through the tracts.

GUN ARTOTAIffiESTED
WITH HIS OWN GUN
Having received a telegraphic com
munication from the authorities at
'i'routdale Saturday night with the in
formation that Victor de Wolf, a des
perate character, who had made a
futile attempt to shoot Conductor Zir
bel, of the O-W. R. N. Co., at that
place early in the afternoon and who
had made his escape, was headed this
way and would probably be beating his
way aboard a freight train. Night
Watchman Hickox and Marshal Lewis,
who searched all east bound trains,
discovered the desperado at 2:40 Sun
day 1110 ning asleep on top of a box car
of train No. 5(i. .
Officer Hickox hastily grasped the
large 45 Colts revolver, which the man
was carrying, and drawing it from the
holster, which was in plain view, ar
rested de Wolf with his own weapon.
De Wolf, when removed from the
train at Troutdale claimed to be a
private detective, who was on his way
into Montana, lie wore a large star,
but the trainmen and officers refused
to recognize it.
He waa taken from here to The
Dulles Sunday and from there to l'ort
bmd, where he will be prosecuted by
the railroad company. The self styled
detective is a native ot Russia. He
secured naturalization papers at I'rine
vile. The railroad officials think that
he was a participant in the recent S.
1'. holdup at DrainJ
On Friday night the city authorities
captured 1'eter Yamick, who had been
making trouble aboard the fast mail
train, which passes through this city
at 8:35, and locked him in the city
piisonon a charge of carrying con
cealed weapons.
C. I, ROGERS BUYS
LARGE TRACT
C. L. Rogers, who has been a resi
lient of this Valley for a number of
vears, closed a deal last week with
b. C. Eccles, Manager of the Oregon
Lumber Co., whereby he became
owner of 350 acres of land lying near
Dee between the Middle and West
Forks of the Hood River. The land,
which is particularly adapted to the
culture of apples, pears and straw
berries, has an elevation of about 12(H)
feet and is under the ditch of the Dee
Irrigation & I'ower Co. The consider
ation was $100 per acre, perpetual
water right included. Mr. Rogers,
who will subdivide a portion of the
property and sell to different individ
uals and improve and plant the rest to
orchard, has shown his faith in the
future of the Valley.
This region has had a good growth
