One of the Taylor Bros., of Medford,
is in the city looking after speculative
opportunities. He came as a prospec
tive buyer of the big prune orchard
north of this city, but found the crop
sold and this changed plans. It is said
that Mr. Taylor's apple crop at Med
ford last year averaged $1000 per acre.
He was here last fall and negotiated
for orchard land south of this city, but
failed to take it. Since that time the
land has been cut into five acre tracts
and can not be bought at treble the
price of last year. w

will begin next Monday, B. S. Taylor
having a contract to finish it by Sep

Miss Florence Bowden, who was
elected a teacher in the public schools
at a special meeting of the board on
Thursday, brings an excellent record
for preparation and experience. She
graduated from the regular course of
the Oregon State Normal School in 1906,
afterwards completing an advanced
course in the same institution. She was
a member of the Independence public
school 'corps for two years, meeting
with the greatest success. Last year
she was a critic teacher in the State
Normal at Monmouth and has just re
signed her position in the Monmouth
public school, where she was to receive
$65 per month, in order to accept the
Corvallis place. -Miss Bowden is also
highly proficient in music and drawing.

The condemnation proceedings inau
gurated by the O. A. C. Board of Re
gents against M. S. Woodcock, for the
purpose of securing land south of
j Waldo Hall, have been called off.
Rather than be placed in the position
of apparently fighting the college, an
institution he says he has favored here
tofore in every way possible, Mr.
Woodcock decided to take several
thousand dollars less for his property
than he considers it worth, hence the
cessation of legal activities. While the
papers have not yet been signed by all
parties, the G.-T. understands from
Mr. Woodcock and the college people
that the matter is definitely settled.
The property aluded to comprises about
forty lots south of Waldo Hall which
Mr. Woodcock valued at about $17,500.
