I5HEXT OF KANSAS CITY f SELLS nEt'EXT l'UK JIASE INCREASE OF 50 PER CENT I'itlslmif; Contractor Will Uevote x '. Sonic Time to Ilngue Rivor I Sllit.t'lllMTgS. , I By the closing of the deal this morning for the sale of five acres of beanng orchard land five miles west i of Grants Pass for a consideration of $1500 per ac re, a new record was es , tablished in the price of land in the Grants Pass country, and the profit ableness of real estate Investments in -his country demonstrated in a striking way, for the seller of the land bought it for $1000 an acre' a , little more than a month ago. i The discerning few have main- tained right along that there was no ? place in the Pacific northwest where there was such opportunity for quick and large profits to be made in land investments as in the country trihu- tary to Grants Pass. With fruit that V is without a superior as far as qual ;, ity is concerned and a bountiful soil rthat yields at a rate that no other section can equal, and a climate un surpassed, investors and homeseek- ers are turning toward this section in ever increasing numbers and this J fall the influx of new people with i money bids fair to assume the pro i portions of a stampede, j. The purchasers are Kldridge P, ;McCann and J. E. Anderson, of Pitts :burg, where they were engaged in jthc building and contracting busi ness, being connected with one of the largest concerns In that line of ; business in the smoky city. The sel ler of the land Is V. J. Rrent, of ; Kansas City. The land has three and one-half acres of 14-year-old Spitzenbergs fin ,lt, the remainder being in young Spitz and pear trees. The pur chasers thoroughly investigated the imatfer before investing their money in the land. They were taken to it hy W. 15. Sherman, who made the sale and they carefully went through ,.1he orchard, wnlch was in process of 'being picked. They selected what they considered an nverauo tree and .the pickers were hired to pick the '-' tree after supper. This tree yielded thirty-two and one-half boxes of fancy Spit z. From this the gentle men figured that there was $f"no worth of apples on the place. Tne seller of the land. W. .1. Brent, purchased It something over n month nco from IT. T. Hull, of Grants Pass, and M. I'olgcr, of New York, for $1000 an acre, with the expectation that he would b iU to close out hN business affairs in Kansas City and move out here. A few dins ,v:, be found that till would be Impossible, so he wired the " real estate man to s"ll for $l"'in thus taking a profit of fifty per cent , in a short time. Messrs.

BLANCHARD COMES OUT FOR REPRESENTATIVE After weeks of persistent urging ! by his friends, E. E. Blanchard has j decided to enter the race as repre-! sentative from Josephine county. The i friends of progressive government! feel that they can not permit the j field to remain uncontested and they J have finally persuaded Mr Blanchard i to make the fight for the principles of people's rule. Mr. Blanchard Is an aggressive and earnest believer in all those political reforms which have for their end the placing of power in the people's hands, such as the direct primary and statement -number one. Mr. Blanchard is one of the active and progressive ranchers, owning a farm of 000 acres near Murphy, which he has owned for nearly three years. The first two years he was here he cleared over 200 acres of land. This land has mostly been planted to trees and vineyard and requires a great deal of his attention so that he Is making personal sacri fice in consenting to make the race for representative. I Before coming to Grants Pass Mr. Blanchard lived at Montezuma, Iowa, he practised law and edited the Montezuma Tlepubllcan. Back In that state of progressive politics he was in the van of the fight for wresting the control of the state from as cor rupt a political machine as ever ex isted in any state. Mr. Blanchard was an enthusiastic supporter of Senator A. B. Cummins and was a delegate in every state convention In which Cummins made his fights. Before he entered the legal pro fession, Mr. Blanchard was engaged in teaching school and was superin tendent of schools at Rock Rapids, graduate of the state university of j I owa and of the law school of the j same Institution. ! Mr. Blanchard has never sought j office hut he was appointed state j examiner of schools for Iowa by the executive council, consisting of the ; governor and other state officials. He served in this capacity from 1S94 to 1S9S. As a youth Mr. Blanchard lived In Trumbull county, Ohio. His father was killed in the war when he was five years old and since the nge of nine he has made his own way In j the world and Is what the world ! calls a self-made man. Mr. Blanchard Is one of those who was attracted to the Rogue river valley because of the salubriousnes of Its climate and says he would not live anywhere else now and that the life of ihe fruit grower is the ideal 'Hie. 11c will make an aggressive fight, though a clean one, against machine politics. ; FOR FALLING HAIR. j You Run No R.r' When Yo'J Ute Thi i Remedy.
