Butt "YOURS FOR ACCURATE TDME," Where Holiday Prices Do Not Prevail 135 W. Main Street "a -, 1 CO SMALL TRACTS FOR ORCHARDS OR GARDENS J if il & v l , 'ik- t .4 f r; '- , t, -i Stewart Acres The tracts in this subdivision range in size from ten to twenty-five acres and arc adapted for fruit, gardon or berrios. Thoy are tho closest in small tracts on the market, being located only two miles from the Southern Pacific depot in Medford. The roads are good tho year round, and no part of the valley is more accessible. The platting has been so arranged that there is a fine, sightly building spot on each tract. The city wa- tor main crosses the tract, and city water, if desired, can bo had at small cost for domes tic useor for irrigation. In addition to this water supply, tho survey for the new high line ditch is abovo this tract, and it is a certainty that there will bo water for irrigation from this source within a year. " Prices are low and tonus are easy tho prices being from $150 to $200 an aero, and tho terms ono-fourth cash and tho balance in five annual payments, with interest at six por cont. . , , , ; Wo ljelievo that for a man with liihitcd capitd tlns is, tho best investment offered in "the vidiiiity of Medford,. Wo predict-that, when tho.high-lino 'ditch is completed, and this tvrtet under irrigation, that this property will sell for doublp tho price we are now r nslcingV This is a good time to buy. 1 - .j f & . m. i t. . m A Name is Wanted m For the new subdivision of orchard and garden land?. , which we are platting midway between Medford and Asli- land. We will make tho person who first suggests a suit- able name which we will accept, a present of $10. This tract will be cut up into five and ten-acre tracts aud placed on tho market as soon as the survey can be -ompleted. We honestly believe there is no- better orchardand garden land in the valloy than is embraced in this tract. The Talent Orchard company's holdings, which produced 13, 500 boxes of Newtowns from about 25 acres, not all of which is in full bearing, adjoins this ttract: also the Ij ,K. Anderson ranch of 305 acres, which recently sold for $1U-V i'OU. It is good stuff, all right, and wo want a good name. -(Jet the names in to our office by the 15th if December. H. YORK i CO
