Florence Rice Joins Filmdom's
Rogue River Valley Ranch Colony
IN SAMS VALLEY
BOUGHTBY STAR
Former Morrill Property
Show Place in Boom
Days Plans Fine Home.
The Rogue River valley's film
star colony has received a new
addition this time the charm
ing Florence Rice, accomplished
daughter of Grantland Rice, na
tionally known sports commen
tator and writer, of New York.
Miss Rice has purchased the
ranch known as the Riverside
Orchard, on Rogue river, in the
Sams Valley area. In addition
to the Riverside Orchard, which
includes about 105 acres, the
actress has purchased five acres
from the John S. Day ranch ad
Joining and also fronting the
riwer. The smaller tract is a
walnut orchard.
The Riverside Orchard, which
was obtained from W. L. Sew
ard, was formerly owned by J.
F. Morrill and was one of the
show places of the valley dur
ing the pear ranch boom days
over a quarter century ago.
Miss Rice plans to build a home
on the site where the spacious
Morrill residence was destroyed
by fire several years ago. The
beautiful setting among the
trees overlooks the farm and
the river and is surrounded by
a swimming pool, tennis court,
rock garden, fish ponds and
other improvements.
In addition to the large home,
the new owner expects to build
a guest cottage on the bank of
the river where there is an ex
cellent swimming hole and fine
sandy beach for sun bathing.
The river frontage includes
several excellent fishing places
where gamy steelhead and sal
mon may be taken as well as the
smaller trout.
Miss Rice's Interest In the
Rogue River valley is said to
have been aroused by George
Murphy, another screen favor
ite, who last year bought 20S
acres on the Rogue about 32
miles north of Medford. Mur
phy has inaugurated many im
provements on his place and is
going in for the raising of
blooded hogs.
The advent of film notables
on the river really springs from
the interest of Ginger Rogers
and her mother, Lela Rogers,
the first to purchase property
on the scenic stream. Through
the addition of adjoining par
cels of land since her original
investment. Miss Rogers now
owns over 1,050 acres near
Eagle Point, with 2Vi miles of
river frontage.
On the property purchased by
Miss Rice are a modern tenant
house, large barn, equipped for
grade A milk production and
other buildings.
The star expressed herself as
very happy over acquiring the
property and-she is optimistic
as to the future of general farm
ing, fruit and stock raising in
the Rogue River valley, as well
as the recreational opportunities
along the stream.
The purchase was negotiated
through the Real Estate Ex
change, operated by Elmer Her
ried, at 44 North Riverside ave-
E
Washington, July 11-
The agriculture department an
nounced today increases of about
$40 a ton in prices which it will
pay growers for dried apricots
and pears for shipment to Great
Britain and Russia under the
lend-lease program.
The prices will average rough
ly S380 a ton for dried apricots
and $260 a ton for pears. These
prices supercede those announ
ced bv the department on June
20.
Officials said the revision was
necessary to encourage maxi
mum production of these crops
by assisting growers in meeting
increased production costs and
to better align the prices for the
fruits used for drying with those
used for canning.

TELLS OF LIFE
IN FAR ICELAND
"The women of Iceland are
very beautiful, the men are tall
and husky and the children are
big-boned and healthy. They are
generally blonde and red-haired.
Without exception they are red
cheeked. Where our cheeks
might be pink or rosy, theirs
are the color of dark lip rouge
visible at twenty to thirty
yards."
This was the observation of
Captain Raymond W. Sellers of
the U. S. army upon his arrival
in Iceland with army contin
gents. Captain Sellers, whose
father resides in Wenatchee,
Wash., is the nephew of Dr. E.
W. Barnum of 328 North Oak
dale avenue.
In his letter Captain Sellers
wrote: "During their entire his
tory the Icelanders have never
had an army or navy. Conse
quently they view with awe,
wonder and. possibly with sus
picion the activities of the
troops of occupation. Those who
have business with the troops
are very friendly and business
like." Captain Sellers wrote that
"for all practical purposes the
two main industries are fishing
and sheep-raising. About sixty
per cent are fishermen and
about forty per cent own graz
ing lands and raise sheep. The
small remainder have small
businesses dependent upon the
main industries."
Commenting on the weather,
the captain called it "very un
settled because of the contact
of the cold ocean currents and
winds from the Arctic regions
with the Gulf Stream and warm
winds from the south."
He wrote that Iceland, being
Just outside the Arctic Circle,
"is one of the lands of the mid
night sun." The letter was writ
ten April 25, and at that time
Captain Sellers wrote that about
June 22 "we expect no dark
ness at all. It is now 10:30 p. m.
and yet hills and valleys ate
visible for miles. Darkness
comes on very slowly."
Captain Sellers has been in
the army for the past 12 years
and has served in Hawaii, Van
couver, Wash., Denver, Detroit
and the Panama Canal Zone.

IN POPULARITY
Popularity of the playground,
sponsored by the Jackson county
recreational committee under
the sponsorship of the WPA at
the Scout headquarters is grow
ing weekly according to those in
charge of the project. The play-
grouna, wnere cnuaren are
supervised Mondays, Wednes
days and Fridays, has proven
ltseu two-fold, by offering com
panionship and supervised re
creation for children and allow
ing patriotic mothers to leave
their children under good man-
agement while they participate
in defense activities or shop
wnue in the city.
Friday found 65 children at
the playground, including three
sets of twins, it was reported.
Many children enjoyed the fac
ilities at the grounds, including
a sana Box, swings, toys, a wad'
ing pool and others found satis-
faction in a nap under the shade
trees.
Those In charge explained that
the civic project has grown to
proportions unexpected when
the plan was first outlined and
many mothers have expressed
tneir appreciation for the op
portunity of leaving their chil
dren in good hands while they
give a bit of patriotic service
10 meir country. In many in
stances, due to shortac nf lahne
it would be impossible for cap-
aDie motners to take part in
civilian defense or other oatri
otic activities, were it not for
the services offered in this play
ground. Medford women as well
as mothers from outlying dis
tricts are enjoying the use of the
iacuuies.
