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.

cape from either being killed or se
riously wounded Sunday afternoon t
while playing with some other boys

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

received he will soon be around the

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
