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.

beauty, with many superb building sites overlooking the surrounding country, as though

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.

clared guilty of murder in the aecond

never been deprived of his liberty or ac

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."

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."

Men on Schooner William H. Tal
bot Induced to Leave Ship.
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.
