LARGEST ORCHARD
EOR LINN COUNTY
The 3000 acre orchard of the Liun
haven Orchard Company, which will
be by far the largest orchard In Ore
gon will lie between Crnbtreo and
hucomb, iu Dje northern part ol
Linn County, and about 14 miles
northwest ot Albiiuy. ihe site has
been dellnitely agreed upon uud
enough land for the ptopusud oichard
seemed.
Officers ot the oomnany have relus
ed to give definite figures regarding
the amount, of land secured or the
location ot each piece, but confirmed
the rumor that tbo site foi the IBS'
mouse orchard has been cbos in and
that tt wiil lie between l.aimmb and
Ciabtree. It is reported that options
have been secured on ulraoet iMO
sores uud that deals have been com
pleted for 2000 acres.
The 2000 acres on which the deal is
completely closed lie 1h a compact
body nottb, west uud south of the
ullage of Laoomb. it is sHid thai
opitous have beeu secured on a mini
tier of t riots lying aouth of KHOomb,
between that point uud Crabtree,
uud Dial deuls will be closed up in
the next few days.
l'he land secured is all foothill land
and is taled us tirst cluss apple laud.
I'his site for Ihe orchard was secured
both because this part of the country
is not thickly settled ami a big con
tiguous tiact could be secured, aud
also because Oregon bill land is pre.
noiinoed by hoi tlculturists as the
best upple land iu the world.
'The Kinuhuven Orchard Company
mas incorporated recently in Albany
ty a number of locul men. Several
of AitiHUy's most wealthy men are
included in its stockholdeis, and
some ESastern oapltal is also interest
ed, l'he setting out of the orchard
will begin us soon us possible.
