', Despite the fast that the Unnhavea
Orchard Co.v la a name which has be
come almost a , household word tn Al-
. bany and Linn county, few residents of
either town or city realise the rnagni
tude aad Importance of the Llnnhaven

As a matter of fact this Is the largest
, orchard enterprise in the stats of Ore

. of ..which, are now planted te the beat
vartetlaa of apples, pears, etc. More

.: has been sold by the Llnnhaven people

: means la St Paul aad other eastern
: states. . Some of the purchaser are al-
ready on the ground and others are pre

j.k their permanent homes there.
- Mr. C. a Laurttsen of Portland, sales
t agent for the Llnnhaven Orchards com
, panr, brought a party hers Sunday eve
nlnav who had bought tracts and came

: etUl. for 30 years first assistant frslght
W- agent of the Northern railroad, who was
so wall pleased that he bought 10 acres
of this fruit land, now planted and be
; , ing cultivated by the company.

- The punting and aale of tha entire

' penditure of considerably over $1,000,000
to- say -nothing of the reaidencea and
, other buildings which tha purcbaaers of
. ths tracts will expend In their home
making.- It is not only one of the great-
est orchard projects in Oregon, but is
' one of "the greatest importance to the
financial 'interests of Albany and Linn
county. It has " excited more Interest
In -horticulture; In the valley, than any
other effort In; recent ' years.
Mr, J. M. Hawkins, president of the
Oregon Title & Trust company. Is vice
. presidents and general manager of the
Llnnhaven Orchard company, who, with
, hie associates,, is entitled to hearty com
' e mendation for the effort In making this

looked to the Weston district for a
pleasant horns for himself and family.
Mr. Thorns has contracted with J. S.
Ross to buy his 80 acre farm; three
miles south of town, $9000 being the
stipulated price.
Local real estate transfers by Salem
firms Indicate the healthy and steady
Increase In values of city and subur
ban properties. Notable among recent
sales made by Salem real estate opera
tors is the five acres, improved, north
east of the state asylum, sold through
Joel R. Benton of D. 8. Rabb & Co.
The consideration Involved waa slightly
In excesa of $1010 per acre, or $6200.
Nothing more clearly lndlcatee the
present, very healthy tone of the local
realty market than the numerous sales
of this nature now being made..and the
total absence of any boom or inflation
of values in this section precludes the
possibility of anything but a sure and
safs development and growth for this
city and surrounding territory.
