JOHN D.0LWELL
rtcsponnlblllty ant! credit for 3Iod
ford'n nteadrssr growth is vest ox
clunlvely In no ono clais of baitlnes
men, but more of It belongs to tno real
estato owners nnd brokers than lo my
other one vocation,' and the city his
been particularly fortunate ln her con
stant possession of men whose ability
nnd enterprise In this calllns aro a.
obvious as their solid financial standlrg
and high personal Integrity.
Thus engaged and possessing in a
marked degree the qualifications .no.v
tioned Is Mr. John D. Olwell. who t.i.a
lived for 27 yearn in tho Itogue Itlver
Valley. He has had 20 years' experience
in fruit growing here, planting 12,000
fruit trees 20 years ago, which was tho
largest apple orchard in tho Northwest
at that time. He has been buying fruit
from nearly every bearing orchard here
for many years and shipping it to the
markets of the world. He shipped the
first two carloads of Newtown Pippins
that were ever exported to London by
any grower ln the Northwest 14 years
ago. He Is interested in 400 acres of
orphard land and is a general broker for
thousands of acres belonging to other
people. He Is contemplating platting sev
eral orchard tracts for 1910 and anyone
thinking of locating here should advise
with a man t-.io has had the experience
of locating the biggest fruit growers all
over the Rogue river valley.
Mr Olwell also handles alfalfa and
general farming lands. He. helped to
build the exhibit building and display
rooms near the depot four years ago and
maintains It at his own expense and
it Is famous all over the country as the
best display made anywhere. A con
stant stream of people file ln and out
of the building and no other venture has
made Medford so famous.
Mr. Olwell employs four men about
his office and a dozen or more at his
orchards. He was a member of the
state legislature ln 1903 and has served
on the city councils of Medford and
Central Point. He is now a director of
the Oregon Agricultural College. He Is
a member of tho Elks and the Commer
cial Club.
J. A. PERRY
The phenomenal growth of Medford
and the development of orcharding in
the valley, has made a splendid field
for investment in real estate and
among the enterprising and progressive
men engaged in this line none Is more
widely known than Mr. J. A. Perry, who
tn addition to his private Interests is
also the secretary and manager of the
Rogue River Fruitgrowers' Union,
packers and shippers of Oregon fruits.
Mr. Perry has been operating here
since 1903, and on his various tracts
and subdivisions and in the Fruit

A SPORTSMAN'S PARADISE
In tho Roguo Rlvor Valley country
It Is possible for tho lover of tho rod
and gun to realize to his heart's con
tent the fulfillment of those dreams
which to tho great majority of sports
men so ofton seem to exist ln dreams
only. Here, in abundance, may he
found what so many lovers of tho

namely unlimited, diversified ahoot-
inc.
Hero quail abound In tho valleys
and mountain quail ln tho higher
hills. Tako a morning's walk ln tho
fall and you first strike quail ln tho
creek bottoms.
Then, at any time, a single or braco
of Chlncso pheasants may flush from
whero you expected quail; theso are
tho grandest ot our western gamo
birds. Then, perhaps, a pair of mal
lards or teal, or a bunch of widgeon;
then a ruffed grouse. Next, you como
to some swamp land where It is not
unusual to get a dozen good shots at
Jacksnlpo; then, If you choose to
leave the willows and go a llttlo wry
back Into te hills, you may read !v
And several bevies of our mountain
quail, which He close for tho dog.

stream rl3e freely to tho fly, as froo
ly as brook trout in a well-stocked
stream, and ono never knows whether
tho noxt fish will weigh one pound
or twonty, or any weight botwoon
tho two. Tho largo fish aro as plen
tiful as the small, and lb Is not un
