That prize carried with it the title of Apple King. This distinguished the Rogue Hiver Valley, in which 0 rants Pass and Josephine County are located, as the finest fruit country in the known world. As experienced dealers in real estate we make this' assertion. The amount of money made by our clients and others who purchased farm lands near (1 rants Pass during the first nine months of 1909 amounted to as much as the original investment, that is, the investment doubled. There are now opportunities to buy farm proper ty at, from $2.'), $50, and from that to $100 per acre which will be under irrigation before twelve months expire, when it will pell for more than double the figures mentioned and, in some instances, these lands will hi'in ;m advance of i!00 per cent. There are now better opportunities for invest ment in .Josephine County surrouiidin (1 rants Pass than ever before, and those who are wise enonyjIHo invest without delay will he certain of a lare in crease iu the near future. The Josephine Irrigation and Power Company are building ditches to cover 18,000 acres. These are fine fruit lands and when planted will more than double in value every year. We invite those in search of homes or opportunities for investments to investigate. Write for booklet and special information. Address .... .1.
