AN IDEAL
Orchard Home, One of the
Attractive Sections of
Jackson County. A
Sketch of One of Its Fruit
Farms. The Valley Is
Full of Plenty of Them
Just Like This One.
Jaokson County contains many
model fruit farms and the ekelch
given bolovr will apply to tbom all,
by merely changing the figures as to
acreage and number of trees, all the
other fuels and figures being prac
tically the eamo.
By invitation of Rev. J. Merley a
representative of Tub Mau, made a
visit to his fruit farm, which is in
the Orchard Home district, one
mile southwest of Medford. Rev.
Merley has forty-acres in his farm,
moBt of the land being to fruit. Ap
ple, pear, cherry and prune are the
principal varieties grown by Mr.
Merley. He also has a fine almond
orchard that has proven quite
profitable for the few yearB that it
has been bearing. His apple, pear
and prune trees, notwithstanding
that he had put in over ' a month
thinning out the fruit and had taken
off more than half the crop, were
yet so heavily loaded thst their
limbs were bending low under the
weight of the fruit. When thinning
he found one apple twig with ten
perfect applos on one blosBom stem,
and on one cherry twig three and a
half inches long forty-nine fine
cherries grew to maturity. A per
son who bos never seen a Rogue
rtvor valley cherry tree in full fruit
can not believe the figures as to the
quantity one tree will produce.
From thirteon trees, but seven years
old, Mr. Merley has this season sold
over 1200 pounds of cherries. At
five cents per pound, the price he
was paid, would make an acre to
such trees bring in 1432 and the
same orchard at maturity would
bring in over $600 per acre. In
proportion to the labor to be ex
pended, apples and pears are
equally as profitable as arccherries
so it can be seen that there is money
in a Jackson County orchard.
Rev. Merley's trees are all healthy
and thrifty looking as youug cotton
woods and his orchard is cultivated
until it looks like a garden, but the
big yields of fruit that he gathers
fully repays him for his work.
Orchard Home, the district in
which Mr. Merley is situated, is one
of the most delightful spots in
Jackson County. The land is as
near level as it would be for perfect
drainage, the soil a rich loam and
the water supply abundant and of
the purest quality. From there a
view of panoramio beauty con be
had, for Rogue river valley is spread
before one, a panorama of rare
beauty. To the north historic Table
Rock shows up, with Medford in
the nearby foreground. To the
east the. Cascade mountains with
Mt. Pitt in its glistening white
mantel of snow, and to the south
Wagner butte in its rugged beauty
can be seen. The people of that
district are industrious, intellectual
and neighborly to a degree seldom
found in a farm community, and
a person wishing to settle in a com
munity where the highest order of
Amcrloan rural life prevails, fit)
better place could be found than at
Orchard Home.

TRACEY ESCAPES
CET8 ACROSS PUOET SOUND IN A
BOAT.
PUR8UED BY REVENUE CUTTER,
LAUNCHE8 AND TUGS.
'
Holds Up Farmer and Hla Family
and Obtains Clothing and Provis
ions and Then Borrows (7) a Jap
anese Fisherman and His Boat Is
Making for Olympla and Chances
for Final Escape 8eem to Be Get
ting Better Rap'dly.
Seattle, July 7. Harry Tracoy, thu
OreRon lenprnUi, has croHued I'uget
sound. Ha helJ up a farmer and his
family at Madov Point, obtained
clothing and piotislons and then Irn
presned a Japanese fisherman Id his
boat. The out'dw was landed near
Port Madison and there forced food
and clothinK from another family.
Then he compelled a hired man to
take him away In a boat. It is be
lieved that he fill attempt to cross
Hood's canal ond roach the wild and
almost unexplored Olympic mountains
In Western Washington. Government
boats and a dozen armed posses are In
pursuit. If ha !s not captured be-fore
he reaches the Olympics it Is improb
able that he ever will be taken.
8eattle, Wash., July 7. Harry
Tracey has bear: heard from again.
Since his escape from the officers of
the law at Seattle he has committed no
murders so far a known, but has been
engaged in the comparatively mild oc
cupation of holding up farmers for
food and clothing and Impressing boat
men. He has been enabled to cross
Puget sound and Is In a fair way to
make his escapo Into the almost Irn
p.netrable mountains of the Olympic
range, where there would be no hope
of his capture. The latest report Is
that he had landed near Port Blake
ley, but It has Loi. been verified.
This criminal cf criminals Is now
pursued by United States revenue
boats, by the officers of two states,
the sheriffs of five counties and a
small army of armed civilians. The
state and county officials are being
aided In their search by the United
States revenue cutter Grant, the tug
Sea Lion and tho United States launch
Scout of the revenue cutter service,
and several smaller tugs.
Though hard pressed and hunted
through the wool's back of Ballard and
around Woodland Park, Fremont, Ra
venna and Botlieli by from 100 to 309
men, Tracey en-aped their vllllance
and is now almost to a certainty In the
hoavlly timbered country back of Port
Madison.
Tracey held up the family of John
Johnson Saturday night, and after
spending more than six hours In the
house made good his escaype from the
town in comp,ii.y with John Ander
son, a hired man of the Johnson fam
ily, whom he hao impressed into' serv
ice. The outlaw again obtained a
complete change of clothing, but took
the articles of clothing he wore with
him. Tracey used Johnston's boat, a
white craft fourteen feet long. Prom
the direction and the movements after
he rowed away the Port Madison peo
ple believed the fugitive convict was
headed for the Hood canal country.
The cutter Grant and launch Scout
Were Immediately sent out from Port
Townsond. The two vessels took
nboard a posse under Sheriff W. C.
Hammond, composed of men who are
especially selected for service in the
n-oods. Sheriff Hammond Is one of the
most experienced woodsmen In this
part of the country.
The government vessels proceeded
lo Seabeck to prevent Tracey's escape
to the coast by Hood's canal and the
Olympic mountains.
At a late hour Sunday retafonno
At a late hour Sunday afternoon a
report was received from Ludlow to
the effect that a small skiff was seen
between Foulweather Bluff and Lud
low Head, crossing rapidly. The skiff
was too far off to be distinctly seen.
Still later the sheriff's force at Ev
erett telegraphed that a white hulled
launch was sighted off Compvllle at
6:30 o'clock this afternoon with only
one man, supposed to be Anderson
(with possibly Tracey lying on the
bottom) in sight. The boat "all8af ed
to be heading for- Daceptlon pass. Dep
u(leg Were dispatched, all heavily
Krmed, on a small naptha launch for.
the pass, and a few minutes later the
marshal at Anacortes started with a
tug for the pass.
Under Sheriff Corcoran believes
Tracey has accomplices In Seattle.
A message received from Walla
Walla Sunday aftornoon states that
Guard Carson of the state penitentiary
has left for Seattle with, two blood
hounds and should arrive here at I
o'clock today. One of these blood
hounds was In the pack that hunted
Tracey In Oregon. The other la a fe
male that has not yet been used on a
man hunt, but Is considered better
than either of the dogs tried several
weeks ago.
-The Mail has the news.
Apple Crop of the United States;
