DIVIDEND PAYERS.
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:

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

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

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

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.
