BUYING A LEMON.
(IVy B. W. Cupper, Gold Hill. News)
Kor the past three years I huve
carefully noted the great progress of
the people in Southern Oregon. Com
ing direct from the East and landing
in Gold Uill, in Febtirury J'J()(i, audi
not heing posted at nil in t h? fruit
industry which had seized the people
long before that time of course I did
not know whut to think of that phase
of Southern Oregon's many rerources
of eoniinerce. It.it since that time
land has gone up! up! up! doubled
and fpiadrupled, especially in tin-.
ease around Medford uhere tin- most
boosting is being done. have not
luted carefully the eon I project which
is being prosecuted igomiisly in the

river, together with complete reports
of the mining conditions as well us
geogolien! conditions of that purlieu-1

upon by the Vulcan Coal & Cokej

not personally examined the Medford
(ui ltny Ann) prospects, but sent a
I ri'-nd of mine to examine tin same!
nod hrii.i? families of the coal and
report geological surrounding these
properties. My reasons for doing
this was to compare the many reports
with the actual facts, and secondto
note the actual character of the coal,
third to become acquainted with the
general strike and dip of the vein.
Krom the general conditions there
is harlv unv doubt but what these
properties will dovelope into paying
institutions.
It will (Kssibly be of some interest
to the reading public to note. another t
fact relative to the prospective fu
ture of Southern Oregon's coal in-f

a half from Sams Valler there is a
splendid vein of bit uminous coal
which out crops regularly for u dis- !

which is six to eight feet in thickness.

anything in my judgment in

It is evident that some concerns are taking advantage!
of the publicity campaign that Medford lias made, and the,
resultant trend of investors toward orchard lands to mis
represent conditions, and to offer to do fabulus things for
the investor, locating them in many instances on land of
little vnlue for fruit culture and promising impossible re-
turns. ;
A circular issued by the "Inter-State Trust Company,!
Rogue River Fruit Land Co. Agents, "of 814 3rd avenue,
Seattle, Wash., attracts attention on account of the prom-1
ises made,, which are all firing enough to read, but will be,
rather difficult of fulfillment. The circular says:
" l!V sell you I hi' liDid it till wilier rights on hi y nicnts o'j

pecan in its native land is a product of swampy land in-;

There is no need nor 'call for misrepresentation here..
The truth is ample to captivate the fancy and secure in-'
vestments upon a legitimate basis. Such misstatements i
indicate either a deliberate attempt at deception or a woo-1
ful ignorance of conditions. In either case, a successful I
outcome is problematical. !
