But those two plays were all he had contracted for with a leading

City, and then went Into Northern Cal

for a short time near Yreka.
The next year he returned to Oregon
and settled In Jacksonville, then on
of the principal towns of tha state. In
1151 and 18S4 he did contracting and
building, and a year later began manu
facturing furniture and lumber, and

by water to San Francisco, thence to
Scottsburg, on th Oregon coast, and
from thera It waa hauled overland by
ox team to Jacksonville, being one of
tha first sawmills brought to tha state.
Mr. Linn established a planing mill
and began making doora and windows,
and operated this plant until It waa
destroyed by flro In 181.
Most of the old buildings In and about
Jacksonville, and In fact In- all parts
of Southern Oregon, were constructed
by him. and his furniture, doora. win
dows and building materials were dis
tributed throughout that part of tha
state.
'Mr. Linn had the sub-contract for
erecting th buildings at Fort Klam
ath, and th first buildings of' th old
fort were built by him. Mr. Linn was
active or Interested In any Industrlsl
development, and In this spirit served
his state and community for 40 years.
In 10 ha married Ann Sophia Hoff
man, daughter of William - Hoffman,
who with his family and that of his
brother-in-law. th late Dr. McKlnnell,
of Portland, came to Oregon and set
tled near Jacksonville In 1S62. Mrs.
Linn died five yeara ago. Seven chil
dren war born to them, flva of whom
survive. These ar Corlnne Linn, of
Jacksonville; Margaret Linn, of Los
Angeles. Cal.; Fletcher Linn, of Port
land: George t. Linn, of Eugene, Or.,
and Mrs. L. O. Oay, of Seattle, Wash.
Mr. Linn was a member of th Ma-
f ...
restraint of city employment in the factory, behind the counter or in the office. . It's an undeniable fact that the Promise of
Peace and Plenty that is held out by the farm is a Genuine Promise,
It is not at all improbable that the man of small means can afford to own a piece, of land which, by th intelligent application
of mind and labor, can be developed into a prosperous farm and orchard home. We believe we have the very best kind of a
proposition to meet this particular demand. It is a tract of say ten, fifteen or twenty acres of rich form and orchard land down at
where every advantage that any land ever afforded, awaits the home-maker. Richest of Soil, Finest Water, Abundance of Fuel,
Ideal Homesites, Good Roads, School, Intelligent Neighbors, Splendid Transportation Facilities. And when you take Into consid
eration these advantages, and the prices and terms, we believe you will agree with us that ours is a "genuinely good" proposition.
The prices are '
$40 to $60 an Acre and Terms of Payment Easy

That the farm home hoi
for the man who simply wants to live with greater comfort .
and contentment, and that there is profit for the man who
.will work and plan and scheme, is abundantly proven by
hundreds of actual experiences. It means that the man of,
say 40 years of ace, whether of family or not, and who chafes
under the restrictions of city life, is willing to exchange
that uncertainty of, working for others rather than really
"doing things" for himself; to work with his hands and his
brain for the attainment and maintenance of health, happi
ness and contentment, will find them on the farm. It means
also that the song of the birds can replace the clang of the
trolley car; the light of the moon and the Rtars can take the
place of the glaring city lights, and the quiet of the country
lane and field can answer for the hurry and turmoil, the
rush and clatter, the hustle and bustle of the city street. But
best of all, it means a chance to work in the open the
opportunity to create something to "break clear" from the
