THE REAL VALUE OF TiOGUE UIYEli VALLEY
LAW.
A local real estate dealer recently escorted a party ti
eastern capitalists, among them several ' Colorado fruit
growers from the. Junction City district, through tin
Rogue River valley orchards. "When viewing the thou
sands of acres of bearing orchard that can 'be seen from
the Bear Creek orchard bungalow the local man volun
teered1 the information that the orchards which could b
seen stretching for miles in every direction were wort'i
from $1000 to $2500 an acre.
"You are wrong,'' exclaimed one of the Colorado con
tingent. ""With water, every acre is worth from .fc-Hioo
to $5000, because it will pay big retlirns on such an in
vestment. In Colorado, where we have to spend as high
as $200 an acre fighting frost, where conditions are. not
half as favorable, where the climate is not to 'be compare
with that of the Rogue River valley, orchards arc worth
as high as $5000 an acre. You do not realize what you have
here, the most ideal conditions for fruit growing that can
be found on the continent." "'...'
This was the opinion of an eastern expert and the re
turns received by Local growers in past years substantiate
his statements. '
When it is considered "that as high as $2250 an acru
gross has been taken from Bartlett pears, where the annual
output has for a series 'of five years netted $1000 an acre,
where the annual output is frequently 20 boxes of pear
to the tree and Newtown apples yield as heavy as 1M)
boxes to the acre, the estimate of the Colorado fruit growci
is not overdrawn.
The truth is that every acre of the best valley land i
worth, implanted, $500 an acre, and a few years Avill set
this valuation placed upon it.
HAXXA AG A IX
Another reversal for Judge Ha una in the supreim
courr.'this time in the Walsworth murder case. . I lie court
erred in failure to give the accused fair play.
The public is becoming
court. The Putnam libel case,
worth case are all recent instances where' Jackson county's
judge is declared to have erred. The Harrington-Snv
der case decisions and the condemnation suit of the city
of Med ford against M. F. Hanley, where it was necessary
to invoke the aid of the governor and secure an outsit
judge to. even secure a trial,
are samples of Jackson county justice.
The recall has been suggested as a remedy for present
conditions. "While it is doubtless true that the n'ceessary
signatures could be easily obtained, such proceeding would
' avail little except as a reflection of the popular mind, for
the legal technicalities that would be invoked would delay
the proceedings until after the next general election, when
the people will have a chance to act.

III. Make a. Noise Like
a Dollar
The man who gets ahead it the
one who makes a noise, and it's the
same with a town.
But it must be the RIGHT KIND
OF NOISE,
i There are millions of noises in the
world and only one kind worth
making. That's the kind a man
learned abont when he tried to in
terview a great financier,
He had spent several days trying
to get into the private office of the
old skinflint, but was always headed
off.
At last he went to a friend for ad
vice. -
"I'll tell you what to do." said
the friend. ''You go down and stand
in front of the old fellow's door and
MAKE A KOISE LIKE A DOLLAR.
When he comes out to grab you, that
will be your chance."
That's the kind of noise we should
make in this town.
We should sound like ready
money and look like it.
. Nothing would bring new busi
ness and hustling citizens quicker
than a NOISE LIKE A DOLLAR.
Every letter that goes out should be
an advertisement for our town.
If von don't know how to make a
NOISE LIKE A DOLLAR, just call
on ns. and we'll try to help you.
One wsj. is to advertise. When
everybody get; to making the risrht
kind of noise it will be worth while

STEVENS SEES BIG THINGS
IN STORE FOR OREGON
POUTUXND. Or., Aug. 18. Cen
tral Oregon in u great country." said
John !'. Stevens tit Portland. "That
region is rich in limber, livestock and
agriculture. The latter will inahily
advance by the dry fanning method
of cultivation. You know what that
will do, Hut why repeat that which
has been stated ho often f There is
au empire to support a city the size
of Portland."
lu sweeping terms, rich in their
uio'xprcssccd details and heavy with
pi liso, the irreal engineer referred
to Oregon's' laical empire. Mr. Ste
vens sees only bi'' things, lor he has
b;-eii doing big work lor big people.
Central Oregon in his eyes is a big
country, lie sees iu it the tolculinl,
not the (ires. ill. lu the lonely reaches
of upland there is rising another
Spokane or lloise, railroads hasten
to tap another Yakima valley, and
ihe Oregon wheat yield is lifted from
1 1.000,000' bushels to 40.000,000 or
more a year.
A man selected above all other en
gineers of ii great engineering nation
for const ruction of the coMlicst en
terprises yet undertaken in naviga
tion improvement sees only what Ore
gon has seen for years, and he thinks
it idle to repeat.
, "If Oregon has seen these things so
long that the people ure no longer
impressed, ami if your (s-ople have
any doubt as to developments iu the
central 'region and the south, let them
wait a little while and they will heboid
something to arouse them," soid Mr.
Stevens. "Wliut is the use of dis
eussini; details umvf A good railway
will bi built at once into the region.
Yon will need no other argument. The
railway will do the rest."
