Probably the greatest real estate deal ever made in this vicinity, and one involving more money than any ever placed on record, was consumated Monday when the Krebs hop yard located afew miles south' of this city, was sold to John Carmichael of Salem. ' The consideration is said to have been $130,000 and the amount was paid over in cash when the necessary papers, as signing the property to the new owners, were made out. , While it has been definitely stated who the property was as signed to, it is understood that Wigan, Richardson & Company, of London, England, of which Mr. Carmichael is local represen tative, are the possessors of the valuable property. The yard contains 653 acres and is the largest hop ranch in the world. It is a . valuable property and the price paid for the same, nearly $200 an acre, is regarded comparatively cheap considering the valuation. The yard has been owned and conducted by Krebs Brothers for a number of years and each season approximately 3000 people are employed to harvest the crop. In addition to the number of peo ple who inhabit the farm as em ployees during the hop harvest there are-many others engaged in different branches of business and for six weeks or two months the southern rural district tribu tary to Independence is trans formed into a prosperous and thrifty city -of several thousand inhabitants, where stores, bake shops, meat markets and places of amusement of various kinds and descriptions are maintained Thousands of dollars are annually distributed among laboring peo ple as a result of this great en terprise.
