A WORD TO INVESTORS AND
DOME SEEKERS ABOUT LANE
Cottage Grove is destined to be
come tlie greatest mining, saw
milling, fruit-growing, dairying,
poultry raising
and diversified
farming section of the beautiful
Willamette valley, famous for its
glorious scenery, mild winters and
ideal summers.
This section has attracted tlie
attention of some of the most pro
gressive aud enterprising fruit
growers of Southern Oregon, to
the extent that they have pur
chased desirable tracts ai:d are
plautiug apples, pears and various
other revenue producing fruits, as
they di«l ten to twenty years ago in
Southern Oregon, prior to the
present fabulous prices of land in
that locality.
After years of successful experi
ence, they arc convinced that
Southern ( >regon offers no op|»or-
tunities for diversified fanning
that are not equaled 1 if not ex
celled 1 hi Lane County, and
around Cottage Grove.
The lumlieriug and mining in
dustries have iu a measure ab-
sorlied all other industries i.i the
past few years, hence, diversified
farming has been greatly neglect
ed. Still the exceedingly low
prices of fertile soil as compared
vfith elsewhere, especially adapted
to the production of these various
commodities, are continually ap-
jiealing to the homeseeker and of
fering inducements ihat will in a
very few years cause every foot of
tlie most desirable and fertile soils
to he occupied and producing to
its full capacity, and bringing iu
return just as fabulous prices as
do the most famous sections of
Oregon at the present time.
If you are interested iu mining,
lumbering, fruit growing, poultry
raising, dairying or diversified
farming in a general way, this
locality is well worth your most
careful investigation.
