THE LAND OP OPPORTUNITY
PTLY DESCRIBES the Unipqua Valley, of
which Roseburg, the metropolis of South
ern Oregon, is the 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. 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.

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 thenv 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,
five hundred dollars per acre.
The above offer will not interest the man who buys
for immediate occupancy, but will most certainly com-

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.
