An exceedingly interesting comparison of the relative earning capacity of Rogue River valley and "Willamette valley laud has been written for the Homescekers' section of the New Year's edition of the Mail Tribune by C. A. Malboeuf, district freight agent of the Southern Pacific, showing that the limited area of the former has a dividend paying capacity many times in excess of the immense- area of the latter. Mr. Malboeuf says: "The 400 carloads of apples and peal's shipped from j however does not include tho building nP T T?;,. vnlln,. i Tnnl.DA,, ,Mif xr rl him it or i n"u s uascu on moiur power opur- PRE-COOUNG GREAT SUCCESS (Contlmicd from ivxro 1.)' juriinis gnses me withdrawn, nud as this low tempornturo is held by tho use of ioe en route, it practically in sures placing fruit on eastern mar kets in same condition in which it was loaded.

L. L. JACOBS, 244 Chief of Records. Notice. pany to tho United Statoa suproom court for final determination in a case similar to the one now being prosecuted by Attorney Oenral Craw ford ugninst the Wolls-Kargo coin- out during the past seven years, while of that number 25,000 were planted in the past two years. The crop re iuiiis for 1909, therefore, represent an item of $10 per acre for the entire 60,000, or upon the basis of $100 valuation per acre, 10 per cent revenue. Measured by commercial standard, an investment yielding 10 per cent net profits per annum is a strictly gilt edge one. But not to exceed 3000 acres of the 00,000 were in bearing in 1909, and of ihese, not less than 1500 were young orchards, just reach ing the bearing stage,' and which produced little more than traces of fruit. Using the same valuation of $100 per acre, the 3000 acres earned 200 per cent net, and the 1500 acres 400 per cent. At a valuation of $1000 per acre, the net revenue for the 1500 acres was 40 per cent. In other words, the 1500 acres produced enough to pay 10 per cent interest upon 60,000 acres at $100 ier acre. In less than five years, over 40,000 acres will be in bearing, and upon the most conservative basis 10,000 carloads will be shipped in 1915, -of a total valuation of $10,000,000, orover twice the present annual production of fruit in the entire state. "An interesting example of conditions in the Rogue River valley is a comparison with the dairy industry in the Willamette valley, admittedly one of the greatest fields for dairying on the American continent, and the development of which is proceeding upon a most stable basis. The Willamette valley contains in round figures jCKXOOO acres of land directly and indirectly suited to the substantial building could be put up for about $0,000.00. The cost of opcratinc such n plant would of course depend on tho price of iqo and the local conditions, niid therefore an intelligent estimntc can not be given.

RUSHING WORK ON TILLAMOOK LINE TILLAMOOK, Or., Dec. 30. Thir ty-eight miles of tho Pncifio Railway & Navigation company's lino will bo in actual and regular operation by tho end of this month. This nnnounce i meiit has been tnndo officially by President E. E. Lytic. This is consid- ierably more than one-third of the mileage of the road, which is to bo 00 miles long. Seventeen miles will bo i operated at this end from Hillsboro raising of dairy cattle. The total value of dairy products a station, not yet named, just bo- ifor 1909 was approximately $10,000,000, or at a valuation Tt the SuZok of di $00 per acre, 6 per cent net income; at a valuation of $100 per acre, the income figures 3 per cent. In a state of full development the Willamette valley will produce $100,000,000 of dairy products per year, in addition to oth er products of the soil. Diversified farming will be its great industry. It is the natural home of the cow? and the cow is destined to be supreme. "The great industry of the Rogue River valley. will be fruit raising lully developed, and using as an estimate,- oneourth of the bearing records of some of the present orchards, it will produce not less than $75,000,000 worth of fruit each year, or an amount equal to that of the entire fruit production of California today. It is now rather a matter of progress than prospect." Mr. Malboeuf might have added that the Rogue River orchard has not only an investment value, but a specula tive value as well; that the price of fruit land here, while high in comparison with farming land, or with so-called fruit land in unproven districts, is in reality very cheap as yet when contrasted with the price of land in the proven fruit districts of Colorado, Washington, Hood River and California, and is sure to rise to a price equal to and above the latter on account of superior climatic conditions. GREAT BUILDING ACTIVITY IS ON IN ASHLAND ASHLAND. Dec. 30. Lumber Seniors say that if inquiries made of them by prospective builders are nny criterion, there is not only going to bo a continuanco of tho building boom in Ashland during the year 1010, but that it gives promise of ex ceeding the past year and preceding ones. Scores of now residences nro being planned fo rorection during tho coming year, and unless tho unox pectod happens, there will bo some thing doing in tho lino of more new buildings in tho business district in 1030 to add to tho 6plondid showing of 1900 in this lino of improvement.
