Many local orchardists and busi ness men having been lead to the Cam as Prairie country and the Trout Lake valley at the south base of Mount Adams have purchased hay and stock ranches in the districts. One of the favorite routes of the automobile owner is to take the roaa to (ilenwood. On this highway, one is enabled to see the huge fir. thirty-nine in fin-iimference. that towers above its fellows about a mile south of f.,lm..r vallev. However, uetore pass ing Husum, where the road to Trout Lake turns to the left and leads up the aide if the White Salmon river, th m.tnist has a wonderful view of Kiver vallev to the south and tne Underwood orchard district off to ih nest. For several miles out of the city of White Salmon the road leads through the most beautiful of the orchards in that district and the many tracts of strawberries, where at this season of the year hundreds of pickers are engaged. Tne Oiliner vallev corresponds in a way, although it is smaller and less watered, to the Middle Valley of the Hood liivcr disrtict. Here the Mount Adsins Orchard Co. has already plant- . I L. n ed a tract 01 several nunureu uca to aiiples. The earlier residents devot ed thi'ir energies, as did those in tne Middle Valley, to the raising 01 nay and stock. Leaving Gilmer the car threads throuirh a dense fir forest and rises to the summit of the divide of the watersheds of tne wnite Milmon and Klickitat rivers. Then the descent into the Camas I'rairie country is be gun. After one has become accustomed to the rolling lands of the Hood River vallev and its rugged border of moun tain ranges and after a journey through the mountains and forests he is amazed at the great tract of level land that spreads out beneath him. - when the Camas valley is first sighted. Hood River people have been going into the Camas I'rairie from Hood Kiver for the past two years until at present a large acreage of the fertile soil that once lormeu tne nouoin 01 vonuoy Lake is owned by local people. K. h, Duncan, of this city, was one of tne first of the Hood River men to become attracted to the new region. He saw the possibilities of reclaiming the great area ol lantl mat iormeriy remaineu under water a great part of the year ml he urged the hasty completion of the Camus I'rairie drainage system, which has now been completed, its main canal extending across the prairie and laterals reaching off to gather up the waters of the four creeks that for merly spread over the entire area. Formerly the ranchers mere were able to harvest only one crop of wild grass nay eacn year, inow mey can ultivate the fields and plant grain or hay crops which produce bountifully. the wiltl hay lacked nutriment, it grew so last in tne wet sou tnat stock. failed to fatten on it. Now, however, the grain and hay raised lack none of the qualities that go toward producing xcellent beef and butter lat. Since the canals of the drainage sys tem were cut the country has shown marked improvement. New houses have been built and new tracts put un der the plow. A number of years ago a cheese factory was in operation in te valley. However, it soon went out of commission because of the price offered for the rich cream by Portland dealers. Carriers called each day for the cream and transported it by wagon to White Salmon. Last year the price of cream had dropped to such an ex tent that the ranchers decided to in stall a cooperative creamery. The val- ey has more than 400 cows and the creamery is now a nourishing institu tion. The Portland dealers have felt the need of the cream and are again ottering inducements in an effort to se cure some of the rich product. How ever, the ranchers do not care to pass through the same experience resulting from the closing of the cheese factory, and have decided to stick by their creamery. the Camas valley, as is the Trout Lake valley, is a land of little houses and big burns. The ranchers store huge quantities of hay each winter, and the hay mows are very large. No stranger is ever allowed to leave the Camas district, or for that matter the Trout Lake valley, without hearing the plea of the residents for a railroad. A branch line leading out from White Salmon to the district has long been proposed. However, the construction work, because of the steep range of hills that must be crossed, would make the task expensive. It is thought by many that not many years will pas9 before a branch of one of the main lines of the transcontinental systems will be extended down from the Yaki ma valley. The motorist to the Camas country should never fail to travel to the brink of the Klickitat gorue about seven and a half miles northeast of Clenwood. Here the waters of the turbulent moun tain stream have cut a chasm almost a thousand feet deep. In places the canyon's sides are almost perpendicu lar. On every hand they are very pre cipitous. The Klickitat forks at the bottom of this wild gorge and the two branches of the cleft extend off in dif erent directions through the forest land. The top of the promontory in the fork of the "V" is jugged and sharp, like saw teeth, for a long dis tance. A short distance back from the confluence of the streams a giant hole pierces the promontory, reminding one of a window that might have been cut by nature for a Titttn monster of prehistoric days. The road, leading over a new route, from Glenwoud to Trout Lake is a lit tle more than 16 miles in length. It has been carefully surveyed and in no place dues the grade exceed ten per cent. The stranger is filled with ad miration for this wonderful little val ley set like a veritable fairyland be tween the ranges of hills at his feet as he begins to drop down from the sum mit and as the car, if he is in an auto mobile, and begins to wind around the graceful curves of the road. No more beautiful journey can be imagined. On every hand appears a galaxy of blos soming wild flowers. The pink blos soms of wild phlox and the Indians' Pamt ((rush make patches of vivid color. Wild currants shake their deep pink petals m the breezes and Dogwood trees stand everywhere. th..ir i.,..i,D glistening white in the sun. And down Dr. M. A. Jones DENTIST FORMERLY OF HOOD RIVF.R Now located at J4SJ Washington Street Dentist PORTLAND, ORE from Switzerland more than a quarter of a century ago, owned the hotel until recently, when he sold to Mr. Rey nolds. The hostelry is now kept by H. C. Coe.. Mr. Guler bought the land surrounding Trout Lake on which is now located the hotel property from EL L. Smith, who with hit family used to camp in the valley before the white man had settled the country. Geo. I. Slocom spent one winter in the valley alone. The snow fall is very deep there, the altitude being 1700 feet, and Mr. Slocom, who had a drove of stock for his only companions, still declares that the days of that winter were the most lonesome of his existence. Right at the very door of the Guler hotel, when the wster of the creek is not too high, the fisherman can till his basket with Rainbows, Lock levers and mountain trcut. A quarter of a mile up stream the creek spreads out over the lowlands and forms the lake. Here is one of the most perfect breeding grounds for trout in the northwest, and this little lake fairly swarms with fish. On an evening, when the trout are jumping, the surface of the water boils like a bubbling spring. However, the lake fish are very fastidious and will not take a fly unless it is very appeal ing to their sense of the fitness of things. The Trout Lake region abounds with wonders of nature. Hut a short dis tance from the Guler hotel are found the ice caves and lava caves. Some of these ice caves have been used by the residents as storage houses. One is called tht "Butter" cave. A door was is constructed at its entrance and the product of the early creamery was kept there. "When we get to growing ap ples like vou folks over at Hood Riv er," says Mr. Guler, "we will have it on you ; for on years when prices are not good we will just put our fruit in our caves and keep it until the prices become better." A number of potatoes were placed in one of these caves by Charles Pierson, a rancher of the dis trict, and kept for two years. The tubers were as good for cooking as on the day they were deposited in the un derground cavern and some of them were planted and produced an excel lent crop. The district there is fairly seamed by cavernB. Scientists say that all of the valley bed was one day a seehting mass of molten lava. These caves are bubbles that were inter spersed through the lava, which, when the mass cooled became caves. At the head of the Trout Lake valley may be seen the "Sleeping Beauty' the almost perfect profile and bust of a woman formed by the towering bluffs of stone and the foreBt covered range. However, the bust is four miles distant from the head, four miies further away from the valley, and at times a mist divides them and only the head can be seen. The huge "Sleeping Beauty" can best be seen in the late afternoon or evening just as the sun is setting behind the range of hills. Then she is a fascinating sight. One may look for hours, wondering what legends the Indians may tell of the great formation. There she has quietly reclined for ages, a "Maid of the Mists," when clouds veil her head, and in winter wooed by Boreas, as he flings her sable snow robes more closely around her. But when the sunshine of July it, falling she is a veritable sum mer girl and wears all cf the glorious colors that nature can provide, while autumn brings the glorious garments of tinted leaves. One of the most enthusiastic of the Trout Lake ranchers is B. R. Richter, who came to the Hood River valley year before last and purchased an orchard In the Odell district. How ever, he was attracted to the Trout Lake district because of the wonderful opportunities offered the dairy rancher, and disposed of his place in the Odell community and remoyed to Trout Lake. He now has more than 350 acres of the most desireable soil there. His barn is a massive structure. A spring on the place supplies running water to the house and operates a dyn amo, which furnishes light lor his home and barns and power for the machinery that is used about the house and barn. Mr. Richter recently shipped from Elgin, III., 24 thoroughbred Holstein cows. These beautiful creatures may now be seen on the pasture land of his farm. His cream is collected daily, as is that of his neighbors, and carried to the valley's creamery, where the cream from more than 400 cows is manufactured into butter. "Last year," says Mr. Richter, we received an average of 34 cents per pound for every pound of butter fat we produced. In addition to my monthly cream check, 1 marketed more than $500 worth of hogs. 1 figure that I can make my hay yield me a net return of per ton by thus using it. Can you blame me for being enthusiastic over such a country?" The Brilliant Stars tfJau By the end of June, Mar.

" v Tips On Titles A MAN came rushing into our office and wanted an Abstract in a hurry. He seemed to think we kept them on hand and could pass the one he wanted right over to him. It was the first time he had ever required an Abstract. He bad an opportunity to make an investment which gave promise of rich returns. It was an unusual chance. He had noready money so had gone to his bank to get it by placing a mortgage upon his land. The bank, according to its cus tom, demanded an Abstract and re ferred him to us. Now the man had lived on this land. He had paid gcod money for it. He held a Warranty Deed. He thought it was his. It was, but there was a "Cloud upon the Title" which had to be cleared be fore he could obtain any money upon his land. There were defects in the instruments as recorded which could lie remedied only by a decree of the Court. This required time. Mean while the opportunity for the promis ing investment had passed. This is not fiction. It is not even exceptional. It is the sort of thing that is occuring repeatedly. You own land in Hood River County. You intend, some day, to have it covered by an Abstract. Why Not Now? There is nothing to be gained by delay and may be much to lose. It matters not what yon think about . your land, your title is only as good as the records show. The business of the Ab stracter is to give you the record of your title. Some people seem afraid to enquire into the title to their land They prefer to play "ostrich" and try to think there can bn nothing the trouble with it. When the day conies, as it surely will, that they must have an Abstract they are disappointed that they have to wait for the Abstracter to do his work. Hut they can't blame the abstracter. It lakes time to pre pare a correct anil complete Abstract. Besides there are always other hurry orders ahead which mu.-,t be finished before new work is begun. It is even more annoying to learn that the title you thought good is imperfect. The trouble may be slight and of a naturt which could be readily removed, but still sullicient to cause an exasperat ing delay at a time when one wishes to make a quick sale or raise monev upon a mortgage. Be wise enough to have your Ab stract made NOW, while there is no urgent need for prompt action. Come in and talk to us alxiut it, we may be able to make a few sugges tions of benefit to you. We have been searching Hood River Titles since 1886, and if there is a flaw in the Title we can find it. Hood River Abstract Co. W.J.BaKer&Co.
