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.

BAftNUh 'S OL D LION.
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."

THE UN A PUZZLE.
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
