Land Transforming Worthless Bluff Land into Orchard Wealth
The piece recalls how the bluff land west of Bluff Street, once deemed worthless and tax unworthy, was transformed by D. S. Wood into a thriving fruit orchard. Thousands of fruiting trees now line the hillsides, with cherry, plum, pear, peach, apple and small fruits yielding richly. The refashioned land also hosts a fine dwelling and demonstrates what industry and sound judgement can achieve. The message ends with local notes on subscribers, politics, and a social event featuring the Gutta Percha Girl on Saturday June 30 with 25 cent admission.
