SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND THE
ROGUE RIVER VALLEY.
Southern California has a world wide
reputation for liiimtf and yet its rli
mate in not any ile:ifmter and not lis
healthy hm that of the Koue River vol
ley. Living; in ( 'iilil'nrniii year in and
year out x.-ipn the life and am bit ion. The
Idood grow thin and t lie eternal wiuie
new producon ennui. Hero a touch of
frost in winter keeps the blood red.
California orauoe orchards have a
world-wide reputation. Producing orch
nrds sell al from $111110 ,, 4:1111)11 an acre.
Here they yield Ir $111111) to $.'11)1111 an
nunlly. California orange proves do
mil lie-in to yield the profits that apple
and pear orchards in Sioilliern Oregon
yield, that sell at from $ol(0 to $soo an
acre at the present lime.
Southern California is dependant al
most wholly upon its climate rind its
orchards. The Hoyue liivor valley hax
ninny limes the imlura resources. Near
ly everything can be raised here that
can be raised in California, and the
yield is heavier and pialily superior.
In addition, earth yields its treasures
in minerals and the mountains their for
est of t imber.
The liogue Kiver valley has 11.. I the
annual tourist crop to support it, but it
has as sunny shies, as beautiful land
scapes anil a greater wealth of re
sources.
If the county hooks can be exported
on n pcrcealagc of tin' money saved to
the county by the experts, why need
Sheriff ,1,'ickson cure about pnlting the
county to expense7
Sheriff Jackson wants his books ex
ported next -film- in ease he is defeated.
It goes wilhoul saying that I, is ,vjs,
will be realized.

BEWARE OF LOCATORS
FOR RAILROAD LANDS
Tho following reply was received
from Attorney-Ceneral ltonnparle. iu
response to a letter inclosing a clipping
from an advertisement ,,f ,i profession
al "locator" in Portland, making the
misleading statement I hat llonaparle
was sanctioning the filing on Oregon
California land grunt lands. The
letter from the attorney general ex
pressly stales llial il "would be ad
visable not to make any expendi
tures" on the lands by squatting, ex
cept upon the advice of coinpelent nnd
experienced counsel. The siren song
and glittering promises of the locator
should bo scanned pretty closely be
fore people part with their money:
"It would be u source of pleasure
to me if 1 could write at some length
on the subject, but I am compelled to
say that the interests of the govern
meiit will not permit me doing so. I
can only say Hint the department has
uniformly advised correspondents on
this subject llinl il proposed lo under
take pro,- ling for tho purposes of
testing the rights and icsponsibilil ies
of the present holders of the title lo
the lands to which you refer, and that
il would be advisable not lo make any
expenditures in the premises, except
upon the advi, f coinpelent and ex
ierieiico,l connsil, iu whom implicit
confidence could be placed. Vonrs very
truly.
