Contrary to the teachings to diversify, we believe the farmer’s salvation lays in specializing in growing crops, and those articles we selected to grow have laid a foundation for the popularity of our Nonpareil Brand. With the improvement contemplated for this winter, the 20th Century Truck Farm will be the most up- to-date farm in our line in Oregon. In the short space of time Koberg’s Beach has brought perhaps more real democratic enjoyment to a wider range of people than any institution in Hood River; such institu­ tions have a marked influence upon the general feeling of a corpmunity and make it more likable to live in ; it is known far outside the boundaries of the County. Whether you hear about what we are doing or not, we can assure you we are sawing wood and doing our part to help make Hood River the Hub.

A survey watt mude connecting the road with tlie hikiw line, but it was thought by many that the grade of seven ¡wr cent, over n dls- trict characterized by its light _ «oil, would I m * too heavy, and an apis-al was made for a road of lesser gradient. A second survey was at once made, over very much the saint' character of country as the first, but longer. The length of tile second pro|s>se40,(MM) available for construction of tlie road. . It is estimated tliat $xo.(M*(t will build the grade and give it a light surfacing of rock. The forestry ser­ vin'; according to T. H.
