We are enjoying fair health and fine weather with the exception of a few occasional windy days. We have out a crop of rye, which is looking fine. Yellow bells are in bloom, the black sage has grown twigs that are 6 inches in length. The Beverly Investment Co., are working night, and day at their irrigation plant, that they may be able to turn water on (April 15) to 14,000 acres of land, which lies around Beverly and along the Columbia river upon the land. The land is divided into small tracts and sells at S3OO per acre to actual settlers, and $350 to those who do not locate. The irrigation plant will furnish a constant water supply to the settlers for domestic purposes, „and also expect to put ’ln telephone and electric light systems. Beverly is making a fair growth. We are looking forward to the time when Beverly will be a prosperous little city.
