paper Man In Southern Orcgdrt, In;
Point of Service, Describes Beauty
of Valley at This Time of Year.
(Tho matter-of-fact nowspnper man
engendered In n cold, Iiard world ot
facts, docs not often lot his sonso
of tho pootlc sot tho uppor hand of
his work. Occasionally, however,
sonic great work of nature moves him
out of his accustomed plnno. Here,
tnen. Is n tribute to tho vnlley of
the Roguo as penned by the otdest
journalist, In point ot service, In
southern Oregon. And It came aft
er a great portion of his llfo had
been spent In tho valley):
If thoro is a raoro beautiful valley
on earth than the Rogue at this time
of tho year, one would better follow
Mohammed's example In regard to
Damascus and view It from a
tancu, rather than risk his chances of
a paradise beyond the grnvo by en
tering ono upon earth.
Words utterly fall of a description
of tho beauties of tho valley ot tho
Roguo now.
Green fields of alfalfa and grain,
orchards with symetrtcal trees rang
ed In orderly rows, farm homes Inter
spersed among tho green, and sur
rounding all the blue tinted foothills,
surmounted by tho snow-clad peaks
of ML McLaughlin, Wagner and Ash
land, make a picture Impossible to
describe and only possible ot reallra,
tlon by actual vision.
SIxfy-fotir years ago Lindsay Ap
plegate and a band of pioneers pass
ed through tho valley, laying out a
road to the east to avoid the danger
ous Dalles of tho Columbia. Ho wrote
In his diary:
"It was the most beautiful sight I
over saw. Tho valley was a mass of
waving green, Interspersed hero and
thcro with groves of oaks, giving tho
Impression at a distance of grain
fields and orchards."
Mr. Applegate lived to see part of
tho dream that camo to him on his
first sight of tho valley, and if ho
could seo it now his implied pro
precy would seem to have been fulfilled.

The Best Class of People Are Attracted Here
People of refinement; people with means; retired business men; professional men; college and university grad
uates, are coming to the Rogue River Valley by the score. Within the past two years almost a hundred Chicago
and Evanston, EL, people have purchased homes near Medford, and nearly every one of them has a friend or two
whom they hope to induce to come and locate in the valley. New York, Philadelphia, Boston and many oilier
eastern cities are almost if not quite as well represented, while St. Paul and Minneapolis have more representa
tives here than any other several cities combined. Think these statements over and got your thinker going. Write
to the" undersigned or the Medford Commercial Club for detailed information about the country, and you will
never have cause to regret it.
The Most Fascinating Investments Are In
Bearing Orchards Near Medford
Most of the producing orchards have been held in large holdings until recently. A few weeks ago the Eden Val
ley Orchard, containing 605 acres, was placed on tho market in any desired acreage. We have been authorized to
offer the bearing apples and pears for sale, and if you know anything about this country and want a desirable
block of bearing trees, write or come soon. During the past week over $.150,000 worth of tho property has been
disposed of. It is located within two miles of Medford at an elevation of about 100 feet above the city and is ono
of the best kept orchards in the world. Parts of the orchard offered for sale have paid tho owner over $G0O per
acre per year for four straight years. Do not come unless you are prepared to stay, for just so sure as you do como
the combination of fat soil, grandeur of scenic beauty and Italian climate will steal you, body and soul. After ono
visit hero you will be miserable any other place on earth.
