written without mentioning the name
of Mr. TV. M. Holmes, of the Rogue
Itlver land Company. His Influence has
been and Is one of the potent factors
In the development of Medford to her
present enviable proportions. For over
a quarter of century he has been
hero, coming tc Medford before the
town was laid out He first began to
take interest In fruit growing In the
old home or family orchards, before
there were any orchard yeats here, and
It was seven years before he found a
wormy apple. Ha has met out seven
orchards and sold ersry one before It
began to bear. He has SO acres of
young orchard sow and a half Interest
In another I0-cr property. Hu has
been engaged In the land business seven
years and transacts a general broker
