ADVANCING VALUES • r 1 'H E recent sale o f 10 acres of orchard land at $525 per acre, near Phoenix, in this coun­ ty, is an indication o f the rapid advance in real estate values in the Rogue river valley. One year ago this same ten acre tract was offered as a portion o f a 100 acre tract—the other 90 acres not being planted to trees, but equal­ ly good soil—for $75 per acre. The tract was on the market for several months and was offered to men who were posted on land values at that time. But there were no takers at the price quoted and the seller can con­ gratulate himself on having 90 acres o f fine fruit land, worth from $100 to $150 an acre left, at a cost to him, figured on the basis o f his estimate o f values one year ago, o f $25 per acre. He made at least $9,000 by not finding a buyer when be first wanted to sell. Had the buyer o f this ten acre orchard been an unsophisticated easterner» with more money than experience in western fruit cul­ ture, it might have been said that he paid more than the prop­ erty is worth; but when it is known that G. A. Hoover, one o f the best known orchardists in the valley and who already owned a 100 acre orchard o f bearing and very profitable trees adjoining the tract in question, is the buy­ er, that charge will not be made. The fact is that Rogue river valley land, at the prices now held, is a snap, and the people who get in early will get the best bargains. The H er ald makes these state­ ments because it believes them. It has no farm or fruit lands for sale. It only wishes it had. IMPURE FOOD J. H.
