On the Umpqisa Kiver
The earliest fruit belt in Oregon
Aptly termed "the land of opportunity"
If you can suggest anything more liberal than our offer
we want to hear of it.
ACT
AN-
OWN
We offer every man the opportunity to secure a home and a
tract of fruit land in the famous Umpqua Valley of Southern
Oregon on the most liberal terms ever heard of and then
we will develop the tract for you with our own money and.
make the land pay for itself by returning to you one-half the
net profits resulting from the growth of small fruits and
vegetables between the trees. Live on the land if you will,
but if you are not prepared to just now, we will care for it
and make it yield you a profit each year.
Situated on the beautiful Umpqua River, just north of Rose
burg, and every acre cleared ready to plant trees. Soil of
deep, sedimentary deposit, adapted to growing apples, pears,
peaches, walnuts, almonds, cherries, prunes and all small
fruits and vegetables and not only equal to any grown in
the state, but ready for market three weeks earlier than from
any other point.
Delightful climate, fine schools and churches, splendid neigh
bors, hard-surface roads leading in all directions from the
tract. A Fruitgrowers' Association at Roseburg solves the
market problem for you, and means a big saving for growers.
Come to our office and let us explain our plan in detail you
will be interested. Price $150 per acre. Terms $150 cash,
balance on easy monthly payments. Development between
the trees will take care of the installments after next Spring.
This land will double in value in 12 months.
Do you fully grasp our offer? We sell you the land on
easy monthly payments, and then make the land take
care of them.
This land planted to potatoes alone will yield a crop suffi
cient to make your payments and put money in your
pocket each year. WE CAN PROVE IT.
Are you going to wait until every acre of Oregon Fruit
Land is under cultivation and then pay five times the
present price?
Every Foot of Every Tract Is Equal to the Best Fruit Soil in Oregon, and Superior to the Most of It

GIANT CHERRY TREES IN YARD OF SAMUEL COOK, OF GRANTS PASS.
GRANTS PASS, Or.. Aug. 8. (Spocial.) Josephine County's largest cherry tree for nearly one-half cen
tury has stood in' the 'farmyard of "Uncle" Sara Cook. It measures 102 Inches In circumference, with limbs
reaching out over a surface of 40 feet. This tree has never failed to bear fruit since maturity, and each
year there Is gathered from Its branches a wagon-load of cherries. Near this tree. In the same yard, stands a
peach tree 45 Inches In circumference, and" 49 years old. With Its heavy-laden boughs of fruit It looks as
healthy and In as perfect condition as the day It began to bear. In one corner of the yard opposite the
two aged trees Is a grapevine as large as an ordinary man's body, which sends out 1U new vines each year.
The area over which it spreads Is fully one-eighth of an acre, thereby forming an arbor nearly 100 feet long.
The annual product of this one vine amounts to one ton of grapes. From these pioneer producers Mr. Cook's
family has long enjoyed each year cherry pie,- peach cobbler and luscious grapes, and his children and
great-grandchildren are yearly going to his home to eat from the same old tree and gather from the. same
vine. '

FACES CRIMINAL CHARGE
JIan Driven From Eugene Is Again
In Trouble.
John Crusane, 22 years of age and
married, occupies a cell In the County
Jail, and the residents of Kern Park
are up In arms against the prisoner
and his family. Crusane Is charged
with an attack upon his 6-year-old
niece, according to the Information
filed with Constable Lou Wagner.
Crusane and his relatives are said to
be moat disorderly persons, and the
citizens of Kern Park desire to be rid
of them immediately.
Before moving to Portland and locat
ing at Kern Park the Crusane family
gained considerable notoriety on ac
count of orgies In the vicinity of Eu
gene. Several months ago the entire
family was arraigned before Justice of
the Peace Bryson, of Eugene, charged
with disorderly conduct. The trial was
sensational and finally ended In blood
shed, for three men were killed In a
quarrel that resulted. Justice Bryson
found the Crusane family guilty and
ordered them to remove from the vicin
ity. On the return to their home, which
was located at Marcola, a short dis
tance from Eugene, Cruzane, his broth
er and one of the witnesses against
them met in a store, and words led to
the drawing of guns, which resulted
in the killing of a brother of Cruzane,
the witness and one bystander. Imme
diately after this episode the Cruzanes
moved to Portland and have lived at
Kern Park ever since.
Constable Wagner and Deputy Con
stable Kernan visited the home of the
Cruzanes Thursday and placed all of
them under arrest except John Cruzane,
who had fled to Vancouver, Wash.
From the mother" of Cruzane It was
learned where he had gone, and yes
terday she was prevailed upon to ac
company i the officers to that place,
where the arrest was made. Cruzane
volunteered to accompany the officers
to Portland and was locked up In the
County Jail in default of 92500 bail.
The case will be heard before Justice
of the Peace Bell tomorrow morning.

Germany Fears Denmark
Would Help Britain.
ALLOWED USE OF HARBORS
British Naval Maneuvers In North
Sea Arouse Teuton Suspicion of
Preparation tor Future
Naval War.
BERLIN, Aug. g. (Special.)-That It
would be the duty of the Kaiser's govern
ment In case of a war between England
and Germany to seize the kingdom of
Denmark Is the upshot of a number of
articles In German papers following the
gigantic maneuvers of the British fleet.
Commenting on the fact that up to the
nmsent time the annual British naval man-
! euvers were nearly always confined to the
: Atlantic ocean or the Mediterranean, the
Hamburger -JCaehrichten says that two
important strategical problems have
brought the British fleet Into northern
waters. It continues:
"The one problem concerns war with
Germany, as becomes obvious when it is ,
noted that Denmark has allowed two of
its harbors to be used as strategical
points for the British maneuvers. Bsb
Jerg Is. by Its geographical position, a,
basis for a hostile fleet operating against
Wilhelmshaven, the German North Sea
harbor. In the same way Aalbeck would
be exceedingly useful for all operations
carried on In the neighborhood of Jut
land, and from there across to Scotland,
and on the other side In the Skagerrak
and Cattegat. The fact that Denmark
la thus taking part tn these maneuvers
displays a tendency to withdraw her neu
trality In the event of a war.
"Moreover, these strategical experiments
show not only that plans drawn up at
the British Admiralty and directed
against Germany are being tested In prac
tice, but that these two harbors are fully
counted upon. The British Admiralty Is
doubtless not 'unaware that the German
government fully grasps the meaning of
theee maneuvers, and it Is Important that
German public opinion should likewise
have no illusions on the matter.
"The second Important problem with
which the present maneuvers are con
cerned Is the investigation of the condi
tion of the Scottish and English coasts
as bases In case of war, and their pro
tection against German attack. Great
Britain la persuaded that German torpedo-boats
will endeavor to enter her
harbors by night and damage her bat
tleships. Rosyth. on the Scottish coast, Is
the future basis of an English North Sea
fleet, and the operating point of the north .
In the event of war.
"We see, then, that England does not
hesitate to expose her plane and inten
tions in the publicity of her fleet maneu
vers, and over this we can only express
our satisfaction. But the attitude of the
two Danish harbors affords matter for
reflection."
