Medford lies among the moun tains nearly 1400 feet above sea lev- ',1. It is not rainy and foggy like a jrent part of the northwest, and it Is just north of the extremely hot belt which covers nearly all of California. Hence, we gel about rain enough t mature the crops and at the same time we have a long growing season ind a delightfully pleasant dimple in which to live. There nbout fiOOO in habitants here at the present time. nd they are all alive and hustling. That it is a plaee of great commer cial activity and immense trade. Is ev idenced by its having three banks in nourishing condition and a ourlh one is now under process of rganization.

Medford. have 730 acres; the "Hillcrest" orchard, owned by Seattle capital, contains 200 ac res, and the Rogue River Investment Co. own three ranches comprising in all 320 acres. But probably the most complete and valuable fruit ranch ol tho Pacific, northwest is tho "Eden Valley" orchard (nn appropriate nnme) of tho Burrell Investment Co . of Portland, Oregon. The tract is a solid block of 005 acres. '500 hun dred acres of this ranch are in pears and apples, while the remaining 10.", acres is used for tho growing of hay and grain for the stock and u smail timbered tract from which the com pany cuts thicr fuel.
