Printed a Three-Column Arti
cle Telling of Hon. J. H. Stew
art's Successful Introduction of
Horticulture in the Rogue Riv
er Valley.
,1 ,
' In the Portland Oiegonian of dati-,
February 2'la, there appeared a
ilirce-colunin article, written oy a
Special correfpondent, bearing in
general nay tipon the horticulture
interests of Jackson County, but
mere particularly upon the success
which Hon. J H Stewart, the par
ent to this industry, has made from
a commercial point of view. We
pul'lieb below ezcerps from the
irticle:
The most interesting man in
-Southern Oregon is Hon. J. H.
Stewart, the Medford apple grower.
He is essentially a man who does
things, and be is furthermore,
man who has reasons for things.
venture to say that Mr. Stewart
never did anything in bis life with
out knowing why. It was no acci
dent that he came to Southern Ore
iron fifteen years ago; it was no ao-
tident that be established him pelf
'list where be did; it was no acci
lent that he prospered, and that in
jiNifpering he revolutionized the in
lurtry and the foKuncs of the coun
try around about Medford.
Mr. Stewart comes of the race of
true-bred Americans, born in the
arly years. of the last century, with
enough Yankee in his blood to give
mental energy and fixedness of
purpo-e, and enough of the Scotch
Irish strain to yield iuiaginat:on,
fluency iu expression, and the taste
for public affairs. Mr. Stewart is
at once a man of action and a man
of talk; and he both acts and talks
to some purpose. He has no aff-c-tation
of reserve, no habit of hiding
his light UDder a bu-hel. He is
willing that hie neighbors and all
the world shall have any advantage
which may come through hit ex
periments and achievements. And
now that he is past the age when it
s renonable to hope for any per
sonal urofit from new ventures, he
is as liueily employed in ueefu?
laborB as if his daiiy b ed depended
upon his daily effort.
Mr. Stewart was past 50 years of
age, and bad done about one m tuV
rhare of work, before coming to O. e
gon. He bp(.'anbti!iness life in Illi
nois and Missouri 'way back in the
MOs, grew millions upon millions of
orchard trees as a professional nur
seryman, planted many orchards,
and incidentally served severalterms
in the Illinois Legis'ature, before the
time came when he could cut loose
and satisfy a lifetime's wish to visit
the Coast. "I had Been enough," he
said, in the course of talk, "to make
it clear to rae that the fruit business
in the Mississippi Valley was about
ulrtyed out, for the development of
the Co ist was rapidly making, as it
is lias since made, it impossible for
the interior states to compote in the
general markets. ' Mr. Stewart's
idea upon leaving no-ne was to set
tie somewhere in the Puget Sound
oountry, and it was to that part of
of the coast that ho first turned
But the conditions for horticulture
and especially apple-growing, did
not wholly suit him, and he c ime
couth, carefully taking in every sec
tion of the oountry from the Colum
bia River down to Southern Califor
nia. Several months were spant in
visitation and investigation . No sec
tion was slighted, evon the remote
country of Klamath and Lake coun-
ttna Kninn ... f.lfl T-T 1 a Hunt A tit lit- -
mination was lhat tha R 'gue River
Valley, above every other section of
the Coast, was adapted to thgrow '
Ing of apples on a large scale. And
being thoroughly convinced, he'
bought the land where afwrwards
his first orcharU was planted now
the Voorheis place and returned
lo his home in Quincy, III., for the
winter and to close out his affairs.
The Winter was by no means an
idle one, for, in addition to other
labors, ho grafied with his own
hand the several vhrities of nurtery
S'ock which he thought suiter! to
his new situation; and in large part
the Voorhies orchard today is the
outcome of that Winter's wook at
Quincy, HI. ' -
By 1890 it was demonstrated that
a new spirit had entered into the
Rogue River Valley. A country
which had formeraliy baen thought
fit only for the rougher sorts of pro
ductionfor pasture and for grain
suddenly came into prominence as
the producer of apples and the like
of which had not often been seen
even in those parts of Oregon famous
for their fruit products. It was soon
found that the skill and energy of
one man had given to Rogue River
Valley a new chartcter and a new
impetus; that the special adaptation
of the country had been found. . But
this did not wholly satisfy the peo
ple who bad long been use J to iso
lation, and who had not learned the
significance of transportation 'We
may," declared the doubting Thom
ases, " be able to grow apples by
the ton, but wbatgood will it do us?
Who is there after the limited Port
land demand shall be supplied to
buy our product?" Mr. Stewn
had not overlooked this pnin', and
his answer came in the fo m of a
season's crop shipped and sold at a
great profit in the market of the
Eastern States . and Europe. He
knew what no other man in the
country suspected, namely, that
such a product as thai of the Med
ford district had the world for its
market It was upon the basis of
knowledge of the demtnd which
waited upon a strictly first-class ap
pie, in connection with his faith in
the soil and climate of the Rogue
Kiver V..l,ey, that his first oicbsrd
was planted.
It was in 1835 that Mr. Stewart
-et ulout the work of making bis
first orchard. It was eight or ten
years before the vision which in
spired his efforts and buoyed him
through the years of waiting, stood
plain in the view -or everybody. .
Since that dty of demonstration it
i now less than ten years. These
periods are short when considered
in connection witn the industriul
revolution of the countrj. But they
have been momentous in the high
est degree for the Rogue River val
ley. They have established her
nameiu the commercial world; they
have witnessed the progress of tree
planting uutit all around Medford
the country is coming to be one
vast orchard ; they have given the
valley an industrial specialty which
means so much for any country;
they have brought new people aud
new capital tuto the valley, and
have given it purpose, hopefulness
and general impetus. And for all
this the Rogue River valley is in
dobtod to J. H. Stowart. ;
On every hnnd as one drives
about Medford, there is manifest
the influence of horticulture upon
the welfate of the country. The
various orchards now in bearing
aggregate no loss than 1000 acres,
and the annual shipment runs up
to about 200 carloads. In addition
to this, there are huge orchards at
other points in the county and in
the adjoining county of Josephine.
Indeed, the largest single apple or
chard in the oountry is at Central
Poiut. There are, too, indications
that the business is just begun.
Withiu the year upwards of 1000
acres have been set out in apple and
pear treee, and this planting, added
"to what has been set out during the
past two seasons, makes some 2000
or more aores, which will in time
be added to the productive area,

and Portland capital in these en
terprises is interesting (ind finnifi-
cant,, oomrc inree years ago .Mr.
Gordon Voorhies, of Portland, con
nected with the BurreU family,
bought from Mr. Stewart his original
place, three miles south i f Mtdtord,
and since thut time has added
greatly to it. Jim phmiiiig the
present sear-on will agn-giiie some
thing like 225 acres. It under
stood that Mr. Voorhies' venture"
has proven highly siiccewfiful, so
moch to that in the brief period of
his ownership his cigiiiar invest
ment has been fully regained. An
other Portland investor in the Med
ford orchard district is E. J. De
Hart, the well known hardware mer
chant, who has recently become tha
owner of a fine place of eeTenty-fiva
acres, immediately south of town.
Mr. Ue Hart has come -wiilv bjs)
family to the new purchase, and
proposes to make bis permanent
home here. Another and very re
cent venturer in orchard property
in the Medford district is Mr. Hunt
Lewis, of the well known Portrand
family. His fiue place of ifOarrea
j iins M . Voorhies' place on the
south. It is sometimes asserted
that Portland is slow to take hold
if the productive interests of the
country, and in inances ibis may
be true; but in the case of tte apple
industry the cargo certainly - wilt
not lie. Indeed, if tbe movement
shall keep up we 'may soon expect
1 1 hear that the capitalists of Port
land are crowding the owners of
the soil from rnt tbeir own territory'.
