No stumps, no brush, every acre cleared ready to plant to trees this Fall.
No irrigation necessary for large fruit or small. The Umpqua Valley puts all fruit into
market three weeks earlier than any other section of the state. This means that a crate

five times' what it would be three weeks later, and conse
quently a big profit for the growers.

plenty with the most delightful climate in America, where
orcHardists are making $5000 to $10,000 a year on soil iden
tical to ours.

tie ntleiiicn: Referring to your letter of recent date rela
tive to the Allev Fa ran. located near Roseburg. 1 beg to ad
vis.' you that I have visited the place a number of times,
and lso have consulted a number of people of tills city, and
trom Jnv own observations al:d from what people tell me, I
am a .'iiltle undecided to whether it holds first or second
liiare in rank as to tweing the best farm in Ilouglas County.
However tin-re Is about S(0 acres of river bottom land
which can-wot be excelled. I cure ot where you go.
Ivor j.'Bcf I came to thlo country I have wished that
some one vfuld buy this place and put it on the market in
if'nali trarts and 1 assure you that when you informed me
that you had closed the deal for the place 1 was more than
pleased want to refor any one to me regarding this tract
of land vou ma or do so. and I assure you tliat anything I
can do'iii the WW of telling them the truth about It I will
gladlv do and it. will take no "boosting" either, as the
place' will speak for Itself.
When you plave. this land on the market I wish to pur
clmse a ten-acre tTac. and If I can raise the money I want
a twenty-acre tract .
Vou may show rj't letter to any one you wish, as I
wo.ild certainly li.X"- " sec 5.10 people lesiding on that farm
Inside of six or eia'hft months, and tt will support them, too.
With kindest pcrsumal regards I beg to remain.
Very sincere iy.

Here Is the Winning Plan
If you are not ready to live upon a tract of
this land, we will raise strawberries, rasp
berries, currants, cantaloupes, melons, pota
toes, onions, asparagus, celery, etc., on your
tract, put up the money for seed and labor,
market 'the produce, and at the end of the
season pay. you one-half of the net profits:
If we didn't absolutely know that this prop
osition would pay us we wouldn't put our
money in it, and you are going to make a
dollar even- time we do. We can put small
fruits and vegetables on the market two
weeks earlier than any other section in Ore
gon, and we are going to do it next year.
"We have an orchardist and farmer of. 20
years' experience who will superintend this
work, and a member of this firm will give
his personal attention to the property. The
soil is of great depth, and development be
tween the rows does not affect the pros
perity of the trees. Experiment has shown
this to be true. One-half the profits of this
development plan will pay. for your tract in
two years, set it to orchard and put money
in the bank for you. You will then have an
orchard tract worth, in the open market,
twice the purchase price. We are not guess
ing at what we can do here, but this plan
is the result of careful stud3r extending over
a period of many months. If you want to
join this successful fruitgrowing plan, come
in and talk it over with us before this tract
is sold. Do it now!

President Changes Boundaries

FOLLOWS GENERAL PLAN
Intention Is to Make subdivisions as
Equal In Size as Possible and
to Promote Efficient
Administration.
OREGOXIAX NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. July 25. A radical change is to
be made in th administration of forest
reserves, or National forests, during the
coming Fall: not a rhangp of policy in
any way, but a change in the manner of
disposing of forestry business. The
change Is primarily In the Interest of the
people of the West, but incidentally it
benefits the service. In that it will save
considerable time, and permit of prompt
action.
In brief, the large clerical force of the
forest service, now maintained in Wash
ington, is to be dividedi in halves; jone
half will remain here; the other half will
be scattered over the West, wherever the
service maintains division headquarters.
About 250 clerks and stenographers will be
sent out from Washington to Portland.
San Francisco. Salt 1-ake, Penver. Mis
soula and Albuquerque, from 40 to 50 frying
to each place. These resiective offices
will placed In charge of administra
tive officers, yet to selected and once
organized, will handle and dnspose of
practically all administrative questions
that arise in the respective districts.
The Portland office, for Instance, will
handle all questions arising In the Na
tional forest of Oregon and Washington;
Salt Iake City will handle rases from
Idaho. Utah and Nevada; Missoula will
handle Montana and Minnesota matters,
and Denver will lake care of questions
arising in iVlorado and Wyoming.
No New Appointments.
i
This change in administration will not j
entail any new appointments whatsoever. I
AM the clerks will be transferred from ;
Washington, and the administrative offi
cers will be chosen from among the
present officials of the service. As vacan
cies occur, however, or as the service
grows, new appointments will have to be
maiV, and all such sppointments will be
made by the Civil Service t'ommlFsion.
Western people will tf eligible to these
appointments, just as they are at present,
but none will be appotnted untjl they
have passed the civil service examination.
In selecting clerks and stenographers for
;ttern duty, the forest service is largely
' guided by the wishes of the employes, but
there will be no difficulty in finding 2."0
who will be willing to move from Wash
ington to some one of the six cities desig
nated. In fact there is a greater demand
than can be accommodated, and in very
Instance the service will select the most
competent employes for Western duty,
because individual responsibility will be
greater there than it has been here.
By distributing the clerical force over
the West, the forest service will be able
to give more prompt attention to the
many questions than is possible where
papers have to be referred to "Washington
for action and then returned. The grant
ing of all kinds of permits: the regula
tion of gracing; sale of timber, and the
supervision of forest guards and rangers
will all be done at the division head
quarters in the West, .instead of waiting
for authoritv from WasVtngt.n
By thus expediting business, the forest
service will overcome one of line few fair
criticisms that have been m?de in Con
gress in late years.
The proposed chang Ps will be made
during the Fall, beginning aJ-xnat October
1. It ia contemplated .'.hat the removal
will be complete by Dectnber ;31. In the
meantime arrangements .ire to be made
for office accommodations in ea ch of the
division hearquarters. and In must, if not
all instances, the forestry clerk s will be
obliged to occupy rentedt qua-Ttera, because
the respective Federal buildings mre al
ready filled. The service occupies rented
quarters In Washington, and th- money
saved when ZoO clerks depart wilL provide
ample accommodations In tht various
Western cities.
Headquarters of the forest seivl?e will
still be maintained -in the National capi
tal, and all the various divisions will re
main as at present organized, with thir
same heads, but the clerical force will be
reduced, and much of the work now dove
here will hereafter be done in the WesV
The change in administration In nc
way alters the forestry policy of the Gov
ernment. The same policies that hare
been in vogue lately will continue, and
the same men wH! have charge. The only
advantage gained by the change is expedi
tion in administration.

Flon ie Sherman was rescued in time to
escape the fangs of a rattler yest.-rday.
The child with its mother has been stop
ping at a farmhouse near Cochecton, Sul
livan County.
The mother placed the child in the shade
of a tree while she went to the house for
a magazine. The baby is 214 years of age.
Mrs. Shermen left her fan with the baby
and this probably saved Its life. When
the mother returned she was horrified to
see a rattlesnake near her baby.
The child was tapping it on Its head
with the fan, a palm leaf, and crying
peek-a-boo. It was laughing gleefully
at the antics of the snake, which would
strike at the fan every time the little
girl struck it. Mrs. Sherman fainted.
Two men ran to her assistance, and
while one grabbed the youngster the other
despatched the reptile with a croquet
mallet. An examination of the snake
showed that it was sloughing its skin
and was partly bind.
This and the fan unquestionably saved
the child. The snake was three feet two
inches long.

Taft's Running Mate Will Not

MAY NOT SPEAK AT ALL
If He Docs Take Stump Xcw Yorker

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. July 25. Republican campaign
managers do not expect to receive
much assistance in the campaign this
Fall from James S. Sherman, nomlnes
for Vice-President. Sherman's health
though it may improve, will hardly
permit him to make a strenuous cam
paign, and It Is more than likely that
the Utlca man will not be heard out
side of his own state, if at all. The
fact Is that Republican leaders are
awakening, to the fact that the selec
tion of Sherman was not a particularly
bright piece of work on the part of the
Republican National convention, even
from the viewpoint of the anti-Roosevelt
crowd, who manipulated the selec
tion of a runnlng-'mate for Taft. Sher
man, In, his present physical condition,
can nj)t even represent his wing of the
party in a way to attract particular
notice.
- If the Republican ticket is elected,
and Sherman regains his health, he will
not, as has been predicted in some
quarters, become an obstructionist in
the path of the administration; he will
not be In a position where he can inter
fere. Sherman can do no more to an
noy Taft than Fairbanks has been able
to obstruct the policies of Roosevelt,
and throughout the present administra
tion Fairbanks has left not the faint
est impress upon legislation, or on the
other achievements of Mr. Roosevelt
and his party. Fairbanks, like other
Vice-Presidents, has presided over the
Senate, but has had no voice In shap
ing or carrying out policies, and a care
ful review of past events will fall to
show that Fairbanks either antagon
ized or aided the President. So it will
be with Sherman.
As Vice-President. Mr. Sherman will be
presiding officer of the Senate, but he will
have no vote, except In case of a tie, an.l
such occasions are very rare. Neither
will he have any say In the organisation
of the Senate; the naming of committees
or the selection of chairman. He will not
be a member of the steering committee
which maps out the work of the Senate,
nor will he be admitted to the "Inner
circle." which has long been a. powerful
though not recognized body of the Senate.
He will be an outsider from first to last,
and he will always be treated as an
outsider.
When policies of administration are be
ing formed. Sherman will not be one of
the men to assist the President unless, in
advance, 1 he utterly and absolutely re
nounces his old alliances and pledges his
unqualified support to Taft and the recog
nized powers of the administration. But
in all this. Mr. Sherman will be merely
following precedent: tramping along in
the footsteps of his elongated predecessor.
He knew this when he first announced
himself as a candidate for the Vice-Presidential
nomination, and he will not be
disappointed
