ICF.AL EST AT K PICKING I" P. Real estate men are the best In dicators of the prosperity of a city. When they are active and meet you with a smile It Is a safe criterion that the whole community is In the full enjoyment of progress and pros perity and the people generally finan cially well off. In making his rounds yesterday, a Morning Mall reporter dropped Into the real estate office of W. T. York & Co. In conversation with S. A. Nye, of the firm, the gentleman in formed us that the real estate busi ness was quite active and dally growing better, with every Indication and promise of a large volume of business being transacted In the realty line In Medford this fall and winter. Mr. Nye stated that his firm was dally receiving many In quiries from eastern parties who contemplate locating In the Rogue River valley. As an Instance, the firm Is In correspondence with three different eastern gentlemen of large capital who are desirous of getting hold of large tracts of undeveloped fruit lands In the Rogue River val ley. One of the parties alone Is will ing to take anywhere from 2500 to 3500 acres, providing the price is reasonable. These men are not In the market for timber lands. M'CKV HAROLD COCHRAN. It would appear that Harold Coch ran, the 14-year-old son of J. II Cochran, the real estate dealer and insurance agent, had a narrow es cape from either being killed or se riously wounded Sunday afternoon t while playing with some other boys on the banks of Bear cerek. It appears that young Cochran was carrying a rifle and bad the BAIT FOR IT CO. 1 trigger cocked when in some manner It was discharged and the bullet en tered his leg above the knee and came out at the foot. As soon as possible the boy was brought to his home In this city and Dr. Conroy was called. Owing to the prompt work In getting the lad Into town and the skillful treatment he received he will soon be around the same as usual. FOl'R Cltora OF ALFALFA. Mr. Oat man, the manager of Campbell Nye's ranch, near Tal ent, will start cutting the fourth crop of alfalfa today. The hay now stands a little over knee high and Is heavy, but a little spotted. There are six acres In this field, and Mr. Oatman estimates that the yield for the year will be about 40 tons. On account of the late spring the first crop was rather light, but the other two crops were heavy. What makes this an exceptionally good yield for this year Is the tact that It was grown without Irriga tion. Evaporating Plant. L. F. Lozler has commenced do ing business with his evaporating plant and is right now having all he can attend to In drying prunes. The crop this year, Mr. Lozler states, Is ALWAYS To have you drop in and inspect our line of GROCERIES, CHINA, CROCKERY and GLASSWARE YOU WANT the best goods that money can buy. We have them.
