M. Van Scoyac, recent arrivals from Illinois, says the Mail-Tribune. They were at tracted to the va ley after many months spent by Mr. Steep and wife in inspecting the different sections of ; the western coast, including the best portions o f Southern California. Early last spring they made their first visit to Medford, and after departing with a good impression o f the valley one of the Medford booklets was sent him, and that fixed it. Mr. Steep still de clares it is the best advertising booklet in print. The natural read t was that the rest o f the family came, too, and there are more who will follow. Mrs. Van Scoyac is a daughterof Mr. Steep. Tho young orchard now growing on the 32 acres will be a source o f satisfaction to all members o f the family, as well as rapidly growing in value. The sale was negotiated by the Rogue River Land company.
