' BIG FRUIT TRACT BOUGHT.
Eastern Capitalists Purchase 1,260
Acrea In Rogue Valley.
(Irani Paa. One of the largest
deals to take piece in Itoguo river fruit
lands occurred a few days ago, when
a representative of Kaatern capitalists
purchaHed the n. il. Kiggs property,
consisting of 1200 acres. This i one
of the (incut bodie of land in tli
county, and is supplied with 2000
inchea or more of water from the An
plcgnto river. Its former owners found
much profit in raining three croos of
ulfulfa each year, and selling it at from
fia to s.O a ton, but it bus now be
come so profitable to raise fruit that
threo hay crops do not produce suf
llcinnt revenue to satisfy the fruit'
miser. 'Ilio buyer and his aaeociates
will take posaoaaion of the premise on
the fimt day of January, end they will
at that time nut on a large force of
men to lay out the tract in an ideal
iniuiner, with convenient avenues .run
ning in every direction, in order to
muke it tlie largeat tract of land do
voted to fruit alone in Kogtte river
valley. The entire premises will be
planted as rapidly as possible in
peaches, pears and commercial apples.
1 ins place formerly belonged to (on

into six ngurc.

President Beams Hla Way Into Favor
With Chlcagoana.
Chicago, Sept 17. President Taft
amiled hi way Into the heart of 600,
000 Chlcagoan yesterday. Geniality
and "Bill" Taft-for that' what the
multitude called him ruled the city
for 16 hours. From the moment he ar
rived antil he entered his private car
to leave, through all the automobiling
and speechifying and handshaking and
excitement, there waa on thing which
ahone aa brightly as the sun of a - per
fect day. it was the famous smile.
That smile waa commented upon every
where. It waa cheered and it made
those who saw it feel more pleased
with the world and with themselves,
Good humor, jollity, happiness these
followed Mr. Taft like attendant guard
ians wherever be went.
And in response to that amile Mr.
Taft got the amilea and laughter of the
throngs, aa well aa their shouts and ap
plause. All the way through tha 16
miles of street which be traveled dur
ing the day in a motor, at the Weat
Side ball park, at the Orchestra Hall
meeting, at the bankera' ball, Mr. Taft
aaw thouaanda upon thousands of face
which smiled at him and which cheered
him.
"it s grand," said the chief execu
tive before be had been in the city five
minutes. "I'm really vastly glad to
be here."
Aa his automobile awept down Mich
igan avenue in the midst of 160,000
school children, he turned to his aide-
de camp, Captain Archibald W. Butt,
U. S. A., and bia voice was just an
atom husky.
"This is wonderful, Butt," he aaid.
Tba cheering of the children ia most
pleasant to me, and vet affecting, for
we know that the cheering of the child'
ren ia sincere."
At the great bankera' ball there
were silks and whit abouldera and
jewel; tnere was rythm or waits mu
sic and glow of pendant lights; there
waa dancing by blushing debutante
and epigramatic foreign consuls; there
waa promenading by prominent bank-
era and dowager and beautiea and pol
iticiane. And the chief individual fig
ure or tne scene waa the big man in
evening dreaa who amiled and amiled
and amiled.
Unqualifiedly President Taft ia in
favor of union labor. Thia was the
ubject of hi main speech today, and
in plain terms he upheld organization.
but demanded that the rights of non-
onion labor be protected. Next to thia
in national importance waa hi de
nouncing the present court system. He
deplored delays in the administration
of justice and announced an intention
to urge congrera to make a change.
MONEY FOR WIDOW.
Mrs. Harriman la Made Only Benefr
ciary in Will.
New York, Sept. 17. A hundred
brief words, weighted each with ap
proximately $1,000,000 and containing
in their entirety the last testament of
E. H. Harriman, given out yesterday.
make his widow, Mary Averill Harri
man, one of the wealthiest women in
the world.
It pethapa is the briefest will on re
cord for the disposal of an estate of
auch magnitude. All hi property is
left to Mrs. Harriman. Wall street
estimates that Mr. Harriman will in
herit in realty and personal property
between $75,000,000 and $ 100,000,00a
Mr. Harriman's private fortune ia sup
posed to have been greater than thia
by many millions, but there is reason
to believe that his unmarried daugh
ters, Mary and Carol; his married
daughter, Mrs. Robert Livingstone
Guerry; and his two sons, William
Averill and Roland, a boy of 14. to
gether with his surviving sister, Mrs.
Simon, and other relatives, have all
been substantially provided for with
gifts out of hand.
The will ia dated June 8, 1903, and
witnessed by Charlea A. Peabody,
president of the Mutual Life Insurance
company, who drew it, and C. C Tege-
th.ff. Mr. feabody was Mr. Harri
man's close personal friend.
Mr. Harriman, by making no be
quests to children or relatives, avoided
the large share of the enormous inher
itance tax which, under the lawa of the
state of New York, would otherwise be
imposed.
