HOW LAND VALUES RISE
IN THE GRAND VALLEY
The Details of the Coburn Ranch
Sale-Increascd From $50 to
$4,000 per Acre in Few Years.

Saturday The Sentinel briefly an
nounced the sale of James Coburn' s
orchard for $4,000, the same orch
ard being purchased by Mr.. Coburn
only three years ago for $500.
The interesting details of the way
this orchard land. just one of many
similar instances. has increased in
value, are given as follows by the
Palisade Tribune:
This week James Coburn closed
the deal whereby C. F. Rinard of
Green River. Utah, but formerly of
Iowa, became the owner of the form
er's ten acre ranch just west of town
on Prosperity avenue. The price
paid was 100000.
The above tract was purchased less
than three years ago by Mr.. Coburn
for S7.500.00 and at that time 1t was
set to young trees. Today it is al
most all in bearing and is a very
profitable investment at the price
paid and We are certain the purchas-
er could dispose of it before the first
of the year for $2O,0O0.00 If he so
desired. Just to show how land val
ues have increased and are increas-
ing in this valley will say that the
gentleman from whom Mr.. Coburn
purchased the above tract paid $40
per acre for the same. that was about
six years ago. Seven years ago the
writer and other parties contemplate
ed purchasing the same tract togeth-
er with other land nearby, for S35
per acre and at any old terms we
wanted. Today we know of parts of
the same piece of land that could not
be purchased for more than $4,000
per acre.
Since coming to the valley Mr.. Co
burn has also made a great deal of
money by buying and selling raw
land near Clifton. Last Wednesday
he stated to us that before coming
here he had resided in North Dakota
for twenty-five years and during all
that time he had not made anywhere
the amount of money that he has
made since coming to Palisade less
than three years ago. The first pay
ment made on his ranch was $500.
Mr.. Coburn and family now con-
template spending several months in
California, but states that before
thousand dollars in irrigated land.
Later.-Just as we go to press we
learn that Mr.. Rinard has already
disposed of the east five acres of the
above tract for $S,S00.00, or $1,000
more than he paid for the same a
couple days before. OF course the
east five acres has the house on it
which would make some difference.
The gentleman who purchased the
tract is a brother of C. G. Jones, who
recently purchased the Branson
ranch.
