Sold Part of His Fine Farm.
H . C. W heeler of P leasant Hill
com pleted the sale of 100 acres,
with buildings of his fine farm
near th e T rent school house and
church to G . P. Fraley, who re­
cently cam e from M innesota, for
$.55 an acre. Mr. W heeler has
about 400 acres left. He felt that
he had more lau d th an he could
well attend to, and let part of it
ffo.
Messrs. Davidson and liailev of
St. John, Oregon, who w ent into
the Indian Creek country to look
up a location returned W ednesday
m orning and are highly enthused
with the outlook. T hey not only
found the country better th a n rep­
resented, but found w onderful op-
pertunities aw aiting them for d airy ­
ing, fruit «raising, g ardening aud
stockraising. N othing better could
be found for these citizens. T hey
left on W ednesday m orning for
their home to m ake final p rep ara­
tion.to ta k e u p their abode on the
.520 acre ra n c h purchased from
Mr. Kodgers.
W hile in th at section these gentle
men took p articu lar notice of the
fruit conditions aud brought home
with them a few of the very choice
apples to i>e found thriving in that
section wholly u n atten d ed . T he
trees are perfectly healthy, free
from scale or disease of any kind
and there is not a trace of codliu
moth or oth er parasite. T h ere is
little if auy w aste la n d an d all that
is necessary to m ake th a t the g reat­
est fruit and dairy country on earth
is transportation from Cottage
Grove. T hey h av e inform ed M an­
ager Conley of the Com mercial
Club th a t they are in a position to
bring a great num ber of families
from St. Jo h n who will locate in
th is section to engage in dairying,
stockraising and fruit.
T his new territory carries u n told
w ealth in its fertile soil, immense
bodies of stan d in g fir, m aple and
alder tim ber. T hese later com ­
m odities will be used as soon as it
can be profitable han d led with
cheap transportation. T h e need
of electric an d interu rb an lines
throughout the western p art of O r­
egon is becom ing more an d more
ap p aran t every year.
Cottage
G rove is a geographical center and
some effort should be put forth to
tap the nearby district^ w hich are
as yet undeveloped for the one
cause—lack of rail transportation.
