UPPER VALLEY MEN
SHIP HAY ABROAD
C. P. Johannsen last week set the record of shipping the first carload of hay ever shipped from the Hood River valley, to eastern Oregon. Mr. Johannsen shipped the provender, alfalfa, to Cove. A second carload from Mr. Johannsen's place and six from other Upper Valley ranches, will follow soon. The product is shipped here over the line of the Mount Hood Railroad and routed from here over the Union Pacific.
"Heretofore,"
says Ashley Wilson,
"we have hauled numerous carloads of hay into the apple districts, but never before have we had a surplus to export."
