Inasmuch aa the biggest price paid

Says He Has Seen More
Fruit -on Trees Here
. Than Elsewhere
M. Heager aud . wife, parenti
of our prominent real estate meo,
the Seagera, arrived iu tiwn tiunday
a lernoon
Mr. Seager ia particularly impressed
with thla aectiou, aud tbe more so,
after just having completed a journey
from Otnaba ,to Los Angeles and bp
to the Seattle Fair. He says before
getting here that be had anme mis
giviug as to this really beiug fruit
country, but bia doubts bave been
entirely dispelled on that score. He
avs that be baa seen more fruit on
the trees elooe be arrived in the
Golden Goose Lake Valley than be
has seen iu all bia travel. His en
quiries as to tbe scarcity of fruit on
the trees in tbe Willamette and Rogue
river valley elicted tbe reply; "Oh
tbe plums, cherries aud peaches are
all picked." Hut just tbe eaoie, apple
trees in those localities were in just
about the bare condition as tbe trees
alleged to be "picked"
The fact of the matter la that the
half has not beeu toll as to tbe capa
bilities of this section ia fruit pro
iuction, and when railroads come
and tbe world geta a taste of its
splendid quality, there will be a de
mand for it that will place it iu a
class by itself.
In view of this conditiou. it be
bores the wise man to secure his tiact
now, and plant it immediately to
fruit. His reward is sure to come
witldu tbe next 6 or 6 years.

Big Price For Fruit Land
Tbe Hood River News, of the 18ult
gives this mention of a big price for
orchard land In that region: Tbe
Van Hums cooeuasmated another big
sale of fruit land last week when be
diatosed ot 8o acres of there-year-old
orchard to Henry V. Peters, m Clnol
nattl capitalist, for 164,000. Tbe or
chard Is situated on the east side
district and ia planted to Newtons,
Hpitzenburgs and Ortley. Tbe prion
per acre was 1800 and Mr. Peters is
considered to bave mads a good buy.
It is bis intention to erect a fine resi
dence on bis property and will make
his borne here part of the year.
Mr Stephens came here two years
since from New Mexioo, a much drier
region and baa followed methods in
vogue there to make dry farming a
success His . plan is to break tbe
ground first to a, depth of about four
inches. He then, barrows the ground
repeatedly until it is perfect mulch.
This work is doos lo tn taJL
Iu Jauurary or later be again plows
tbe field as daeply as tbe pi ow beam
will admit, probably about 16 io(bss
mwi harrows it again, when it is ready
foi sowing or planting. Tbe winter
and spring rains in this way seep deep
into the grouud. Tbe moisture is
thereby conserved, and affords con
stant moisture for the crops from cap
lllery attraction.
The results show that Mr'Stepbens
theory ia all right, and it can be
firautlced with like success by all farui
n this reigou.
Bggs are now 40 cents per dozen in
this market, and few to be bad even
at that price. It strikes us there is
a good opportuntly for some one to
engage In the "beuery" business in
this immediate vicinity.

Tbe Herald replied witb tbe wild

Tha Herald knows, and so do all
railroad men who have given tha
matter any thought, that railroads of
today follow tbe Hoe of least resis
