PAGE TWELVE MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGOV, SUNDAY. MAY 25. 1941. LAND TRANSFERS IN COUNTY GAIN; APRILTOTAL, 791 Clerk's Office Records Show Increase Past 3 Months Home Demand Is Up The number of real estate transfer! in Jackson county, particularly In the Medfoid area, has been growing steadily in recent months, it was learned at the county clerk's office Saturday, County Clerk George R. Carter stated that deed re cordings so far this month have been at an even faster pace than in April when 791 deeds and mortgages were placed on the books. Other totals since the first of the year include January 609, February 631, and March 717. While some substantial busi ness buildings have been pur chased such as the Halley build ing by M. N. Hogan and the Vawter home corner by W. H. Fluhrer, in Medford; the Lithia Hotel in Ashland, by C. R. Cooley, and the Hatfield build ing and Whiteside property, in Central Point, by Mr. and Mrs. George Hunt, the bulk of the dealing has been in residential property. In addition to the outright purchases, number of options have been reported. One wom an is said to be seeking options on large residential properties here and in surrounding towns, Including Eagle Point. According to C. Y. Tengwald, president of the Medford Realty board, the buying of homes is undoubtedly being spurred by the possibility that a canton ment may be located here, but the movement is not of specu lative type, nor in the nature of a boom. "It is mainly precaution on the part of those who have been renting to en sure themselves against possible rent Increases," he said. Mr. Tengwald pointed out that although many of the rural transfers shown on the record er's books relate to rights of way for pole lines, there is also a substantial Increase In farm property buying. . This phase was accentuated by the pur chase last week of 830 acres on Rogue river by Actress Ginger Rogers and her mother. While Medford has long en Joyed a reputation as a city of home owners, Tengwald de clared that the estimated 70 per cent of home ownership will be boosted materially if the pres ent buying movement continues any length of time. Because of the recently grow ing demand for houses to rent, Tengwald urged that those hav ing such properties list them with licensed real estate dealers so that those keeking homes may find them without having to drive over town looking for "for rent" signs.

E OF BLAST The decomposed and badly mangled body of Vern Dollar hide. 44, woodcutter and rancher of the south Ashland district, was discovered in a field about seven miles south of Ashland Saturday morning, and the dep uty coroner's office of that city said death had apparently been caused by a dynamite blast. Dollarhlde, according to the deputy coroner's office "had been pulling and blasting "tumps for over a week at the Austie Barron ranch. It was judged that he had been dead since Monday or Tuesday. The body was discovered by George Haines, who resides at the Charles A. Haines ranch ap proximately four miles south of where Dollarhlde was working, the deputy coroner's office stated. Haines set out to search for Dollarhlde when Dollar hide's sister and mother, who live on the old Dollarhlde ranch nearby, became worried because he hadn't been home for several days. The body was discovered about one-half mile from the old Pacific highway. Unmarried, Dollarhlde had been batching on the Barron place while working there, and visited his home only occasion ally. The deputy coroner's office said there was no evidence of foul play, and that an inquest was doubtful. Graveside funeral services at Mountain View cemetery will be held at 3 p. m. Monday. J. P. Dodge and Sons of Ashland Is in charge.
