Wealthy Mining Man of Salt Lake City Buys Celebrated Orchard Near This City To Improve It. LARGEST DEAL IN ORCHARD PROPERTY THIS YEAR SO FAR Consists of 220 Acres-Buyer Rep resents Syndicate Fine Fruit Raised on Place. K. Q. Wilson, a wealthy mining mm. of Suit Lake City, lios purchas ed the celebrated Brudshuw orchard, ear Eagle Point for $00,000. The eul is the largest made in orchard properly this season. There are 220 acres in the tract, 45 in bearing 14-yeur-old apples, 30 in 7-year-old trees, just coming into bearing, and ten in year-old trees. Fifty acres are in grain and alfalfa, and the bal ance in timber. fifty acres will be set out in orchard this win ter by tho new owner. Mr. Wilson represents a syndicate that has made numerous investments j in property in the west, consisting of Messrs. Austin and Lipscomb ot New York, and J. del'. Schenck, sales manager of the Oregon urenaros , Syndicate of Mcdford, who will man-1 . age the property. The sale was made by Mobo Harkdull of the Hogue Hiv er Land company. The Bradshaw property is one ot the finest orchards in the valley. The choicest apples grown have been ship ped from the place. It lies in the foothills and is free from frost. It has never had n crop failure, and the fruit has brought fancy prices. The Fish Lake conduit runs above the or chard. It is here that the flume ends and is dropped to u lower elevation in a ditch, nud every acre can be ir rigated. Is Splendid Buy. "The advantage that this property, nnd in fad most property in the Kogue River valley," said Mr. Wilson before leaving for Salt Lake Monday, "is that it has not only the mvest .i fouinre. but also a speculative feature. It is income paying and produces a revenue ample to enre for itself and pnv interest oil the invest ment, and has as well speculative nine that all fruit land that is held below the price of the same land in other sections has. This is what makes it attractive to the capitalist. All young orchards grow in value each year, so that orchards are spec ulative as well as investment proper ties. 1 think the lirudshaw on-hard the best in the valley. Delighted With Valley. "I am delighted with the Hogue Kiver valley. It is one of the most charming spots I have seen and the possibilities arc greater thaii'in the northern fruit districts. The outlook for oil is mi favorable that I bought last week :i'0 acre- "f so-called des ert land, purely as n speculation, and if oil is struck it will he the greatest revenue producer possible for Ore gon." Mr. Wilson was induced to come here by Mr. Sehcnck. who has had his eve upon the Bradshaw property for some time. He hu investments in the Wenatchee and other mm dis tricts, but thinks the Rogue River vallev heats the world. Daniels for Duds.
