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.

will meet during tho week to voice
their resentment against a recent rul

to the effect that the Oregon colleges
will not share in Rockefeller's $43,
