been an immense amount of fruit

Logged-om Land to Grow Fruit.

Edward Workman, who arrived in
this city last week from Virginia
with a view to locating here, pur-
chased 22O acres of logged-off land
this week from Plass Bros. in the
Gordon creek section, says the Elgin
Recorder. The consideration is not
made public. Mr.. Workman has re-
turned home and will shape his af-
fairs so that he can return with his
family to Oregon in the immediate
future, expecting to be here by
Christmas
Mr.. Workman Travelled extensively
over many states before reaching
Elgin and came to his decison after
a great deal of Investigation. 1t is
his opinion that this section, or the
foothill slopes at least, will some day
become famous for apple growing
He stated to Recorder reporter that
he expected to set good portion Of
the new purchase out to fruit and the
remainder he would put In condition
for general farming purposes.

Between orchard and hillside are the
