LaCamas Post October 10, 1908
Mr. Banhill has a friend from east of the mountains visiting him. Mr.Barnhill 
has bought him a fine team.

Lillie Smead was a caller on the hill recently. accompanied by a friend from 
Portland.

Mr.Spears is moving on the ranch he bought of R.E.Turk.

Mr.Kenyon has gone to Pprtland on a business trip.

Frank Snead and Charlie Davenport of Portland are visiting at the home of 
C.Smead.

Ray Sampson is working on the night shift at teh prune dryer and sleeps in the 
day time. When he starts back to work at six he says good morning to everyone 
he meets.

Frank Grout is getting treated to apple and pumpkin pies now days. He wishes 
it would be leap year for ten years straight.

S.J.Petit from three aces of strawberries on his ranch near Orchards sold this 
summer $450 of berries. he realized this amount by selling to the cannery at 
Fishers at 4 cents a pound. He would have made more had he sold his berries by 
the box to individual customers, but this would have been almost impossible 
and very much more time wouldhave been spent in this way. He is well satisfied 
with the treatment he received from the canning company. Last spring he plantd 
and additional acre of strawberrie and from these plants he will take sets and 
plant 8 more. Now that he has a market near at hand he is going into the 
raising of strawberries on a large scale as he finds that it pays. He does not 
have to either irrigate or fertilize on his ranch, and th eberries he produced 
have twice the amount of sugar that is found in the Hood River berries.- 
Columbian
