SOIL SURVEY DATA
IS DISTRIBUTED
HookletH containing tho soil survey,
covering tho Hood liiver valley, the
White Salmon section and tho Under
wood district und made hy A. T. Stra-
horu and K. It. Watson, experts from
the United States Department of Agri
culture have heeu forwarded to local
citizens Jand eluhs hy Congressman N.
.1. Siuiiott. I ho piihlicatmn contains
ninth data it ml information that will
prove invaluable to ranchers and fruit
growers.
A summary of the material nu hided
in the hook, which is supplemented hy
a soil map and handsomely illustrated
I v cuts til local points of scenic inter
est, is as follows :
The Hood River-White Salmon river
urea comprises about l!'-i siiuare miles,
or 1 1 1, (Mil acres, in anil adjoining the
ll.,od Kiver valley in the state of Ore
gon anil the White jialnmn valley in
the slate of Washington.
The former part of the area lies in
Hood liiver county in the jiorth central
part of Oregon. Tho limits of the ag
ricultural part of the valley are maiked
hy the character or degree of slope and
hy tho elevation of the surrounding
mountains. All of this part of the area
lies within the drainage basin of the
Hood river and its tributaries.
'I lie larger part of the Hood Kiver
v alley is made up of levated stream
terraces and plateau like areas, the
surface of which varies from smooth
and sloping to slightly rolling. I lie
hill and mountain suils rise directly
from the tloor of the valley and have
a surface varying from moderately to
steeply sloping.
All of the Hood Kiver valley section
of the area was originally covered with
a heavy growth of fir and pine. Al
though the larger part of the hill and
mountain slopes remain in forest, the
comparatively level soils of tho al lev
have been largely cleared and the land
devoted to cutlivated crops.
The White Salmon Kiver vallley lies
in the southern part of the state of
Washington, in both Klickitat and
Skamania counties, and is separated
from the Hood Kiver valley section by
the Columbia river. This part of the
valley is drained by the W Into Salmon
river and tributary streams. The
larger part of this section of the aiea
is made up of mountain slopes. I he
suitableness of the land for cultivation
is governed by the degrees of slope ami
the depth of soil. An irregular belt of
soil along the W hite Salmon river, ly
ing at varying elevations above the
level of the stream, supports the oldest
anil most extensive agricultural devel
opment in this part of the area.
hood Kiver is the largest town in the
Hood Kiver valley section, and White
Salmon is the principal town of that
part if the area lying, north of the Co
lumbia. Transportation is furnished by lines
of rairloads Blong both hanks of the
Columbia river, and by a number of
steamers which ply between The Dalits
and Portland.
The climate is characterized by mod
erately cool summers and mild winters.
The annual rainfall averages al out 40
inches. Tho average velocity of the
wind is high, hut destructive, winds are
unknown, the first settlers were in
terested largely in stock grazing, hut
as tho population increased the land
was cleared ami tlevoted to a number
of cultivated crops. Tho success which
attended the growing of fruits has led
to a steady development of that
branch of agriculture, and at the pres
ent time practically the only agricul
tural export consists of apples and
strawberries. The development has
been most rapid in the Hood liiver val
ley, bs transportation facilities in that
part of the area have been adequate
for many years.
Irrigation is practiced over a large
part o' the soils in the Hood Kiver
valley, the waters being diverted from
the forks of the Hood river. In the
White Salmon valley only a small part
of the land in the extreme northern
part of the area is irrigated, and, ow
ing to the ililliculties of obtaining
water for the larger part of this val
ley, it is doubtful whether any consid
erable area will ever he irrigated.
Land values in both valleys aie
rather high.
The soil in these valleys are either
residual, glacial or alluvial. Sixteen
types have been recognized aid
mapped.

"An erroneous opinion seems to pre

Maxwells. On the contrary, we will
be able to secure any parts for the ma

In addition to their duties of levying
asstsiiienls, county assessors, under a
law passed by the last legislature, will
collect taxes on certain elasses of per
sonal property.. The provisions of the
new law are in part :
"Whenever a county assessor shall
discover any personal property, liable
to assessment for taxation in his coun
ty, tho taxes on which when levied may
not, in. his opinion, become a lien on
sullieient real property to insure the
payment thereof, the said assessor
shall, immediately after listing and
valuing such personal property for as
sessment and taxation, demand and
collect the tax. thereon at the'rate lev
ied for state, county, local and other
municipal purposes in the taxing dis
trict or districts in which the property
is situated, in the the curent year ."
In ease rd failure or neglect to pav
the tax, the owner of the property for
feits a sum equal to double the amount
nf the original tax.

"For two miles along the Hood river
near Holstein station," saya Angus
McDonald, who has spent the past two
weeks along the river at this point on
a surveying trip, "are colonies of
beavers."
Mr. McDonald brought to the city
last week a slick of maple about six
inches in diameter a tree from the ani
mals had cut down. "All of the en
tire tree was gone except the stick 1
found," says Mr. McDonald. "Other
trees a foot in diameter had been used
by them in making their dam across a
small stream tributary to the Hood
river."
On former occasions the beavers
along the river have done great dam
age to apple orchards. Several years
ago they felled a number of old . trees
belonging to John Haekel.
Special "Health Warning" for March
March is a trying month for the very
young and for elderly folks. Croup, bron
chial colds, lagrippe and pneumonia are
to be feared and avoided. Foley's Hon
ey and Tar is a great family medicine
that will quickly stop a cough, check
the progress of a cold, ami relieve in
llained and eongestested air passages.
C. Rhodes, Middleton, (in , says. "La
grippe gave me a hacking cough w hich 1
got no relief until 1 took Foley's Honey
and Tar Compound, and was soon well
of both cough and cold." Sold by Cbas.
