A Big Orchard Deal.
Cusick & Meyers completed a
deal yesterday by which N. (Jayi-
nangh sold his 20 -acre orchard,
about 2 mile and a half out north
of Ashland, to H. B. Warren, late
Wenatchee, Wash., for a considera
tion of $8500. The land is planted
to a bearing orchard principally of
Newtown and Spitz apples and
peaches, which this year bore a crop
worth $3000. There are good im
provements on the place and the
Innd under irrigation. It is a fine
orchard tract.
BEST SECTION
Mr. Warren, the purchaser, is a
practical orchardist. Ho has owned
a fruit tract in the Wenatchee val
ley for a number of years. This
season, however, he decided to look
for a place that had a more pleas
ant climate, especially in the win
ter, and after making a trip cover
ing a distance of 2,000 miles, inves
tigating various sections, he deci
ded that the Rogue River valley o f
fered the most suitable location,
and immediately set out to get hold
of a piece o f. land here.
In his
opinion, based on personal investi
gation, this valley oilers the best
all-round conditions to be found
anywhere.
The above was taken from an
Ashland paper and the Mr. Warren
referred to is a brother of A. and
F C. Warren who recently pur
chased the place o f E. F. Swearen-
giu at Cedar Point. While these
gentlemen like the fruit grown here
very much, and are of the opinion
that very fine fruit, and that of
good shipping quality can be raised
here in great quantities, they do
not expect to embark in that branch
now. The great possibilities in the
line o f dairying are what caused
them to choose this valley as their
future home.
With the adapta
bility of this section to dairying,
and the advancements hi this great
industry which are being made at
this time, no section offers quicker
and greater returns than does Coos
county to a practical dairyman
These gentlemen are highly pleased
with their purchase, well knowing
t'.at the proper effort is all that
will be required to assure a com
plete success.

NOTICE
All Coos County warrants drawn
on the general fund and endorsed
prior to July 1st, 1908, will be
paid on presentation at my office in
Coquille, Oreg. No interest will be
allowed on any of these warrants
nfter December 10th, 1909.
Dated this 7th day of Dec. 1909.

County Treasurer.
In d ication s B etter
While there is some complaint of
times being a little cloee, there are
at the same time indications of im.
provement in money matters in
Coos county. Bank deposits are
acknowledged to be a reliable crite
rion, and taking that for granted,
we should be enjoying a reasonable
amount of prosperity.
From the
bank statements published laet week,
and those of one year ago, it will be
observed that in Coquille there has
been an increase of $77,000, and in
Myrtle Point of $41,067,97, a total
of $118,067.97. While a part of
thia may be natural growth, there
can be no question but a great por-
portion goes to indicate a material
improvement in money matters.
With the present general ten
dency toward advancement through
out the county, next year promises
to be a record breaker from a finan
cial point of view.
