We organized a local company
composed of 1"0 farmers, busaness
and professional men and put in the
necessary capital to do the work. On
the fouth of July, last", we had the
satisfaction of opening our first
ditch which brought the water down
on a five mile contour to the city and
on the way supplied about 40 fruit
growers and small farmers with
water for this season, which has
made irrigation an object lesson of
the highest importance to the balance
of the farmers in the country. This
ditch was on the north side of the
Rogue River and at the same time we
did the work on a ditch on the oppo
site side of the river which will cover
when completed, several thousand
acres . We have now under con
struction a large cam.l which will
bring water to the big orchards below
the town on the' north side. There
will be about (100 acres under this
ditch. The noted, Elmer Shank or
chard will be supplied with water
from this ditch. This orchard will
yield this season, it is conservatively
estimated 16 carloads of Xcwtown
Pippin and Spitzenberg apples, and
they will be of a quality which will be
top on the market nnywhero they may
be sent.
Big Pear Yields
"Our pears this year are giving
n big yield and they are of the finest
been marketed, so far. and in every
in.-tanee they have brought good
prices. All our fruit this season is
being handled by the Fruit Exchange,
and by this means we are not only
maintaining prices, but are gaining:
from our particular section a repu
tation for producing the choicest
fruits.
"Along with the activity in fruit
growing and general farming, we are
this year actively engaged in mining.
Fully a thousand men are has em
ployed, nearly half of the district are
in-the Gfilice mining district. There
aer in that district- a dozen mines un
dergoing development; the Almeda.
which belongs to the Portli'.nd people.

underground working and has just
completed a 100-ton smelter. There

We have the
' wealth of ah empire, ready for devel
opment, nnd homeseekers can get in
on the ground floor. Our soil and
opportunities for irrigation, our cli
mate, as well as our minerals and
lumber interests, all mean great op
portunities for wealth to those who
will come and help develop the country-."
