COAL LAND SOLI).
ASHLAND, Or., May 14. Illinois
capitalists, who have been represent
ed here by C. W. Earl and F. T.
Guthrie, have purchased the Ashland
Coal company's holdings, east of
Ashland three miles, with the ma
chinery on the property, and have
also leased nearly 1000 acres of land
adjoining the 80 acres controlled by
the coal company, and will dovelop
the coal prospects found upon the
property.
They have made careful examina
tions and had tests of the coal made
by government experts, who have
pronounced It high-grade bituminous
coal. Mr. Earl, who Is a son of an
Illinois coal operator, has gone East
to arrange for the beginning of
work, It Is said, and for the shipment
of a lot of machinery to use in the
mines here. Several hundred feet of
tunneling has been made by the Ash
land company, composed of local
citizens, but lack of capital necessi
tated a shutting down of operations.
With the prospects looking better,
development work proceeded.

(Ashland Tidings.)
W. J. Dean, the pioneer school
teacher of the Wagner Creek val
ley,' west of Ashland, who a number
of ycarB since dropped the peda
gogue's rod and took up the more
independent lire of a farmer and
horticulturist, In that fertile region.
Was In Ashland yesterday. The sale
few days ago of the remaining 58
acres of the H. Coleman place. In
his neighborhood to Mr. Powers, a
new resident of the Talent section,
for a consideration of some $6500,
served to remind him that It was
the last of the old Goddard donation
land claim which has been divided
and subdivided until H now supports
eight or more families, showing the
rapid development of this region and
Its devotion to small holdings of or
chard and garden lands.
Mr. Dean himself confines his en
ergies to 1 4 acres and has become
a most enthusiastic and Intensive
horticulturist, ' with ' the greatest
faith In the future of the Rogue
River valley as a rich and prosper
ous fruit section. Orchard and gar
den and alfalfa occupy his 14 acres,
with peaches and apples predominat
ing In the orchard, all promising 1
bumper yield this season. Mr. Dean
has a penchant for applea and
boasts of no less than 30 different
varieties thriving In the orchard
The fact that his last harvest showed
less than one wormy apple In i
thousand speaks well for the effect
Ive methods which the vigilant hor
tlcultnrlst may employ against the
omnipresent pests.

John Holm to R. B. Dow et al.,
I He la right In hi native element
when he Is In the vicinity ot
mills and lumber camps, copper
mines and orchards, and he also
finds the climate ot Oregon far su
perior to that of his native state,
being devoid of the long, cold win
ters. Here he finds the undeveloped
resources such as made his state
great, only on a larger scale, and
there Is no one quicker than he to
recognize In this section bright pros
pects for the future. Of course, the
celery that made Kalamazoo famous
or the breakfast food brand that ts
synonlmous with the name of Battle
Creek are not to be found In very
large quantities In this section, but
there Is plenty of opportunity for fu
ture development In that line.
Almost without exception the na
tive of Michigan who comes to the
Rogne River valley never returns,
but becomes Imbued with the boost
er spirit and puts forth his best ef
forts to Induce his friends "back
home" to come to Southern Oregon,
the land of the big red apple and
pine trees that would make tho for
mer monarchs of tho forests of tho
peninsula state look like saplings.
All former Mlchlganders will do
well to register with Mrs. Conrad,
and thus get In touch with each
other. Southern Oregon Is the Wil-
verlno's paradise, where, as we havt
stated, he ts in his native element.
There are many here. There Is room
for many more.
