6 OREGON ORGHARD-FARMS ASSOCIATION PORTLAND. OREGON BULLETIN NO. 1. The purpo3 of this Association is to give to the moderate investor the advantages of the large operation, conducted upon business-like principles; to secure the co-operation and as sistance of a large number of people throughout the United States on a .profit-sharing basis in the development of the rich resources of Ore gon. The large profits from properly conducted orchards are too well known to need explana tion here. Reliable data will be furnished upon request. The only question is "How can the ordinary person invest safely!" He cannot spend months traveling the coun try on foot and horseback, inve6tigatmg con ditions of soil, water, climate, transportation and markets. He cannot employ experts to test the land, to care for the orchard when he is at a distance, on business or pleasure, to plow, plant, spray, prune, cultivate, harvest, sell and ship the crop. Nor can he ship in carload lots to the New York, London and Oriental markets, establish a world-wide reputation for his own brands and secure a permanent market at top prices for his fancy products, as our Association can. These are best accomplished through a per manent organization such as ours. The Asso ciation must exist permanently. It must be as permanent as the land and the trees themselves. Therein we differ from the ordinary real estate operation. It is not a speculation not a scheme to sell the land and leave it. It is a develop ment, a long-time proposition. We know the land ; what it will do has been proven ; we back our faith by living with the land. We are after known results, which have been proven bv experience, but requiring ten years for ac complishment. We must protect the investor's interest, for his success is the Association's success. Lands Selected. After months of investiga tion we have selected several 1000-acre tracts of the best land in Oregon .for walnuts, apples, pears, cherries, peaches and other fruits. Some of it adjoins a large syndicate of successful operators who have had years of experience in cultivating walnuts. They chose that land for its peculiar adaptability to walnuts. The de mand for this land is intense. Its area is lim ited; there is no more in that locality suitable for the purpose walnuts and fancy fruit. We will sub-divide into 5, 10 and 20-acre orchard home tracts, plant to walnuts, apples or other fruit, at buyer's choice, and cultivate under expert orchardists. Resident purchasers and others have the op tion of caring for their own land, if preferred. General farming can be provided for those desiring grain and stockraising, dairying, etc. Some of this is required to provide for the population which the orchards will bring. Rural communities will be formed on these large tracts. President Roosevelt has appoint ed a commission of eminent men to study plans for the advancement of such communities and the improvement of their social conditions. The opportunity for the small investor and the non-resident to buy land under such aus pices is rare. The great profits in walnuts, apples and other fruits are only secured by the exercise of the same skill and industry required in any successful business, but no business offers greater rewards under proper conditions. Value of Fruit Lands in Oregon. The world is just waking up1 to the value of these lands. It takes ten years to find out. These years have passed. The almost incredible yields have been repeated. But the available acreage is scarce, from the irregular nature of the coun try. It must be carefully selected. Only por tions of it are fit for orchards. Strong syndi cates are buying it up. It will never again be bought as cheaply as now. " The Oregon Movement. Great .financial ' powers, railway systems and others are com bining their efforts for the development of Oregon as never before. A world movement to Oregon is in effect. Portland has sprung to over 200,000 population and the people are eagerly absorbing the walnut and fruit lands. Correspondence invited from all persons in terested in this subject, -orchardists, investors, buyers and sellers of land, and others. We are about to offer for public sale our first large tract of orchard land, for walnuts, apples or other fruit. We believe it will make money for every person who invests in it. Write for our proposition. OREGON ORCHARD-FARMS ASSOCIATION, PORTLAND, OR.

Of all the walnut or apple lands yet placed on the market, this is the most striking, from size,' adaptability, fertility and scenic beauty. A freak of Nature has deposited this body of land, every foot of it identical with every other foot in composition, all tillable,. many springs of purest drinking water,-perfect drain age, the richest, deepest soil ever found, a black loam free and soft, easily workable at all seasons, wet or drv, plowing through the entire AVinter. Twelve hundred feet above sea level, with Mount Hood, Mount Jefferson and Mount Adams all in the same view, these wonderfully formed rolling hills are a scene of everlasting beauty, with many superb building sites overlooking the surrounding country, as though designed by Nature for the purpose. ,,,,. , n j This sinonlar formation is nearlv frost-proof above the frost line of the valley and lowlands. The Spring frosts disappear earlier and the Fall frosts begin later. At this writing November 13, 1908, we have potato vines at Highland Hills still green and fresh. All such vegetation was killed in the valleys more than a month ago. We have several apple orchards now on this land, one planted m 18o2, 56 years old, still bearing fine apples. All kinds of fruits and vegetables are now grown to perfection liere. We also have alfalfa, clover and aU kinds of grain, with ideal pasturage and water for dairying.

TRY 11 ROSE Convicted Murderer to Face Assault Charge. STATE TAKES NO CHANCE Prisoner, Who Will Probably Serve Ul Sentence. Remains Cheer ful and Is Evidently Plea!ed by Verdict. Although guilty, according to the ver dict of the Jury, or a crime that will confine him In the penitentiary for life. Jack La Rose ie to be tried for wsault with a dangerous weapon upon John Shun gr. the Chinese who warn robbed and beaten by the pas-pipe thus. If found jrutlty of this second charge, which Is practically certain, a ten-year penalty will be Imposed upon the pris oner, who has already been found guilty of a crime that will ive him a life sen tence. The eooad charge is to be pressed in order to prevent even the pos sibility of La Route's escape by appeal, aerond trial or pardon. "We will put him on trial for assault upon the Chinese as eoon as possible, said Attorney John A. Lgan yesterday. "Though he will likely be given a life sentence for the Neuman murder, we want to take no chances of his ever escaping the punishment he deserves. Twenty-two year of age. never 111 a day in his life, and a perfect a speci men of physical development as could be found. 1 a Kose. who has been de clared guilty of murder in the aecond d gree for the killing of Hyman Neuman, is as hopeful of the future as if he had never been deprived of his liberty or ac ctw"d of a heinous crime. Though the future offers for him only contimunent between grim walls of the state prison, La Rose looks forward to It hopefully, and freely expresses his gratitude that the jury imposed only a second dree verdict. There may be an appeal, he pave, or a demand for a new trial, but in view of the evidence he ad mits that no other verdict could have been returned. People seemed to wonder that 1 am always in smh htjrli spirits." he said yes-t-rdav. and that 1 apparently took little interest in the court proceedings. The reason is that I never thought the Jury would find me guilty In the first degree. hut I am deeply grateful to them for not doing so." l.a Rose spnt yesjerday playing chec't era ami cards. And of the half doxen or more other prisoners In the same cell he was by far the happiest and least worried. However, he its by no means popular with his cellmates nor with the jailer and his staff. He is said to be quarrelsome and resentful and is kept under careful urveillanee by the jailer when occasion arises for his removal from his cell. "I was bora near Romse. Ga., 2 years ago." said La Rose. "I lived with my uaronts until nine years ago. when I left home. I went 'to school when I was a yuunter, but grew tired of the place and left. I came West and for several tears w-s employed as a marine fire man. I have also had considerable ex rwTienc as a miner, having worked in XVvada and Montana for brief periods. -Most of the time since I left home has been spent on the sea. I had a treat TT,nv thrilling experiences while worfc rg as a marine fireman, but nothing ever occurred that 1 reaily thought worth remembering. I had not been In Portland long before I was arrested. I know very few people in this city, and that is why I have doubts about being aiile to raise the funds necessary to ap peal my case or to go through another trial." w.i if w i n wn a member junn . uuuuuftiwi " - of the Jury that declared La Rose guilty.

Officers and pickets of the local branch of the Coast Sailors Lnion suc ceeded in Inducing the crew of the schooner Wm. H. Talbot to desert yes terday, and the craft is now without sailors. Captain Kaudsen siKned a . crew before United States Shipping Commis sioner Barnes for the voyage to Manila Oriental ports are classed as off-shore and out of the Jurisdiction of the union. The men secured by the master were nonunion'men. Yesterday morning members of tne union appeared at the dock of the Portland Lumber Company and endea -ored to board the schooner. They were driven ashore by the officers. Union men made threats, but they were held off until noon, when Captain Kudsen went ashore and telephoned Harbor master Ppeier for assistance. When that officer reached the dock, however, the nonunion men had deserted and Joined the crowd on shore. Steps will be taken today to appre hend the men who signed before Com missioner Barnes and place them In ja as deserters. Officers of the union will be charged with Inducing sailors to desert and Captain Speier will try to force a conviction In order to correct this evil. Since the coastwise lumber business has fallen off, members of the Coast Sailors' Union have been ship ping off-shore, and they have come to regard any craft flying the American flag as legitimate prey.
