4L LJ- O -V N . O THE LAND OF OPPORTUNITY -re- . ' 4 him ii PTLY DESCRIBES theJJmpqua Valley, of which Roseburg, the" metropolis of South ern Oregop.-isthe Central City. From this city, as a hub, in every direc . tion radiate first-class wagon roads, lead ing to tracts of river bottom lands of inde scribable fertility and scenic beauty, nest ling, as they do, among vine-clad hills that keep watch over peaceful orchard scenes beneath. The largest of these valley farms, containing some two thousand acres, and probably the best large one in Douglas County, was recently purchased for subdivi sion into ten and twenty-acre tracts, and is now on the market, the plat of survey being ready for inspection. The soil of these lands is a sandy loam, a true sedimentary deposit, as rich as can be found anywhere THIS LAND SELLS ITSELF This is one of the very few proposi tions that' speaks a language all its own. y It tells of fertility, scenic beauty, beautiful environments, peace and plenty in old age, freedom from business cares, rest from professional worries, independence, affluence, words of enchantment that have ever swayed us all. ' in the state, and adapted for apples, pears, cherries, peaches, plums, all small fruits, as well as potatoes, asparagus, celery, onions, cantaloupes and water melons in greatest abundance. These are Actual Facts, not a game of perhaps, as everything . enumerated above (and other things too numerous to mention, such as wheat, rye, oats, English walnuts, etc.) are now growing in great profusion upon this tract or ones ad jacent. I Came, I Saw and was Conquered, will surely be said of any man or woman who sees this land. Be you lawyer, doctor, business man, or what not we advise you to keep away unless you are ready to snap up the best investment you ever saw. o OUR PROPOSITION to you we consider the fairest ever offered the investor in orchard tracts and we speak advisedly in making the statement as, from time to time, we have had under advisement many propositions from various sections of the Northwestern fruit belt and have elaborated our plan only after months of arduous labor and hundreds of dollars spent in finding the exact tract of land to suit our needs and the taste of the most critical buyer. We will plant these ten-acre tracts to the best varieties of trees and take care of them for three years for the exact cost to us, which will be in the neighbor hood of fifty dollars per acre for the entire term, in cluding cost of trees and planting. We will also rent your tracts for you during these years and allow you , one-half of the net profits derived from planting pota toes, onions, cantaloupes, etc., between the trees. By this plan, at the expiration of the above term of years, you will have a three-year-old orchard nearly, if not quite, paid for, worth in the open market, at that time, (We hundred dollars per acre. The above offer will not interest the man who buys for immediate occupancy, but will most certainly com mas?' & NOW . ( Is the time to buy, whether for a home or for investment "Get on the wagon". J& J& ? mand the attention of the general investor or the man who, within the next few years, intends devoting him self to fruit culture. THINK IT OVER, and if interested GET BUSY or the "Live Wire" will beat you to it. Roseburg has a fruit growers' association, with a membership of sixty-two, many of whom are making five hundred dollars net per acre each year and you might just as well "join the band" now and quit the everlasting worry attendant upon your present busi ness or profession, as the case may be. Why not make up your mind now; get one of our 10-acre tracts and be independent. Our climate is perfect, our rainfall is adequate (35 inches per year), and our scenery is beyond compare. We have good schools, churches, and an American born population. C!!L2D HARDING & ENGEN, 9 C. D. BEALE, Special Representative, Cor. Cms & Sheridan stt.

How tho Great Showman Turned Hit Death la Account. Among the features of the parades of the Baruum clrcun there wan for merly one that never, foiled to attract attention. Ou the top of one of the wild beast cages lay an enormous lion. He was not confined In any wuy. and nerrous people wit toning the iwirade would shudder at the sight and con template the terrible pasHlblllty of the lion springing Into the midst of , the crowd. Dut the renernble old king of twnftts had reached the Vonlne dotage, and sttttunod muscles and blnnlml claws rendered him hurtnlcHH. He wuh ns mild as a kitten and lu the winter quarters, where he was allowed to roam ut will, sometimes hud to be pro tected from the onslaughts of Irrever ent snd lulMchlevous puppies. One utght he WHudered from the quartern, lti the course of his travels be chsnced on a tmrn where a meek eyed cow wns plucldly chewing her cud. A fnlnt flicker nf the alumlferlng Jungle spirit stirred his pulse, and, with a cratihlug blow of the huge fore pa. the cow was slnlu; then, lying down biUle bis victim, he went to ileep and dreamed of the time when he was a shugicy little whelp playing with tils brothers uuder the bright sun of his farofif African home. In the morning the owner of the row. a stalwart femule with the Moml of Irish klnxH lu her veins, entered the baru with milk pall In hand. She was tilled with wrutb at the sight thut met her gnie. With a keen edged ux In her hand and grim determination In her eye she fearlessly approached the sleep ing llou. nnj when the men sent out to search for him nrrlved he lay cold lu death. Ituruum promptly paid for the tlead cow and engage to apitenr on exhibition "the wmi.au who In innrtnl com but had slain s lion."

Ws 8s Only the Outsr 8hlls of th Great Biasing Orb. The greut bull of tire which we call tho buu la not reully the sun. No oue has ever seeti the sun. A series of concentric shells envelops a nucleus of which we kuow absolutely nothing ex cept that It must be almost Infinitely hotter than the fiercest furnace and thut It must amount to mora than ntue tonths of the solar mass. That uucleus Is the real sun, forever hidden from us. The outermost of the euvclopiug shells Is about C.U00 miles thick and Is culled the chromosphere. It Is a gaseous fluid, tinted with the scarlet glare of hydrogen, and so furl ously active thut It spurts up great tougues of glowing gas (prominences) to the height of thousuuds of miles. Time was when this agltuted sea of crimson fire could be seen to advantage only during an eclipse. Now special In st ru incuts are used which euable as tronomers to study It In the full glare of the aim. Beyond the chromosphere, far beyond the promlueucea even, lies the nebulous pallid corona visible only durlug the vanishing moments of a total eclipse, aggregating not more thau seven days lu a century. No oue htis ever satisfactorily ex plained how the highly attenuated mutter cotninwlug both the promi nences and the corona la supported without fulling back Into the sun un der the pull of solur gruvltatlon. Now that Arrheulus has cosmically applied the elects of light pressure a solutlou 's presented. How U I (lieu It It Is to account for such delicate streamers as the promi nences on the sun Is better compre hended when we fully understand how relentlessly powerful Is the grip of solar gravitation. If the sun were a habitable globe and you could transport yourself to Its surface, you would find yourself pulled down so forcibly by gravitation that you would weigh two tuns, assuming that you art an ordinary huiunn being. Tour clothing alone would weigh more than a hundred pounds. Baseball eon Id be played lu a solar drawing room, for there would be some diffi culty In tb n-wing a ball more than thirty feet Tennis would be degraded te a form of outdoor plngpoog. From these consideration a at Is plslp that gravitation on the sua would tend to prevent the format to u of any lam bent stirs triers and to pull down to Its surface masses of any ske. - Harper's MajBislne. . .
