work of clearing up the place immed-

orchard Just south of town. Mr..
Names son-in-law, Eugene Rexford,

to remodel the house and have num-
Der of additional improvements made
at once. A. P. Sprague, of Minnea-

The place is located a half mile south

new YORK MAN BUYS
Big MOSIER RANCH

One of the biggest buys of the year
in the Mosier section was made Satur-
day, through firm of McGregor e. Both
fur, by Mark A. Mayer, of the Fleisch-
ner, Mayer Co., in Portland, who
makes his home at the Hoffman House
in New York, when he purchased the
Sellinger ranch of 229 acres from G..
A. McCargar, of Mosier, for a con-
sideration of $50, 900. Mr.. McCargar
only bought the palce month ago
and was able to sell it at a considerable
adva ce.
The Sellinger ranch is beautifully
situated a mile from Mosier on the
bank of the Columbia with fine view
of the river and Mts. Hood and Adams.
1t is the intention of Mr.. Mayer to
improve the place and make it one of
the most attractive places along the
Columbia River. About one half of the
place is cleared up and ready to plant
to apples and it is the intention of the
new owner to get as many trees in
this spring as possible. He will inn
medlately begin clearing up the rest Of
the place and will put it all into
apples as rapidly as possible. There
is already about l5 acres of bearing
orchard on the Sellinger place, ten
acres being in prunes and five in
apples. Along with other improve
ments, Mr.. Mayer expects to erect a
handsome summer home on the place
and he will make it his home during
at least a part of the year. Mr.. Nc
Cargar will manage the place until q
nermanent manager is selected.

SALES OF ONE FIRM
PASS QUARTER MILLION

With a large number of real estate
sales which were closed up this week
by Devlin & Firebaugh, their business
for the present year passes the quarter
of million dollar point. This firm,
which has become very active in hand
ling orchard lands in the Hood River
valley occupied their new offices in
the Hotel Oregon building this week
and, while their Portland offices will
be maintained as before, the Hood
River office will be the firms head
quarters. j. H. Devlin has come up
from Portland for the summer and
Miss Mlary E. Fowler has been added
to the force here as a stenorgapher
and bookkeeper. The firm now has
seven men on the sales force and two
young ladies in its office.
Among the sales reported this week
by the firm is the transfer of the rs
acre place of T. A. Schall along Hood
River to A. T. Fuller for $28, 900. Mr..
Fuller's place of % acres in Willow
Flat was taken by Mr.. Schall at
$ll 900, but he expects to dispose of
it for property in Portland where he
will move and retire from farming.
Mr.. Fuller will move onto his new
place near town. Last week the 20
place of E. C. Mahaney, near Odell,
was sold to J. R. Mcguire, of Port
land, city salesman for |. Gevurtz q
Sons. Mr.. Mcguire paid $4,000 for
the place and he expects to improve 1t
| and put out apple trees over the entire
tract. He will also build a bungalow.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ernest Goss, who came
here few weeks ago from Wo0lston,
England, purchased through Devlin
& Firebaugh the Harry LaVein place
of 26 acres on Phelps Creek for $500.
The Gosses came almost directly to
Hood River from England, their
Journey here occupying only fort
night. They are much pleased with
this country and are already installed
on their ranch. E. G. Naper, recently
of Chicago, has bought Ii acres of
| improved orchard land from the j. M.
Taylor place on Neal Creek and ne is
now hard at work on his place. Mr..
Naper expects to erect house on is
new place and make it his home.
August Niehans, an orchardist Of
the east side, closed deal last week
for 80 acres Of the &. A. Tucker place
south of Odell which he expects to cut
up into small tracts and improve. Mr..
Niehans recently made trip through
the southern Oregon fruit district with
a view to investing but decided to
return here where the better opportun-
tiles were offered for development
work. He paid $4,000 for the land which
is now timbered and he will immed-
lately begin improvement of the place.
The same firm reports the sale of 5
acres for the Hood River Orchard Land
Co., to Mrs. Sophronia E. Nesbit for
$l,75O. This adjoins place already

and she expects to erect huose on it

Success from your orchard
depends largely upon
getting good land to
start with. That is
the kind we sell.

trict will be ready for sale this week. This IS
acres of choice apple land will be cut into l5 and
20 acre tracts and sold on reasonable terms.
Beautiful sites surrounded by large oak and

market long. See us today-tomorrow may be
too late.

EFFORT To DEFEAT Ia FEAN BILL

way they spray same, think .ha,
we will Lave no trouble whatever In
getting rid of our fruit at a good
price.
l was in an orchard in Madison
county, Illinois, when they were
spraying for the San Jose scale and
they were using creasote. l do not
know what success they had as 1
only staid few minutes, but they
had quite a good deal of scale. The
best orchards p saw were in Missouri,
but most of them are badly infested
with scale and all with codling moth.
Now as they want some legislation
on the apple and the apple box,
would it not be wise for us to get
something that would suit us and
our box and try to get 1t made into
a law and try to win them over? Or
1T may be that they will quit now,
but do not think so. 1 think that
they will try another bill at the next
session as they are in earnest and
are hard workers; but we will have
more on our side next time, as there
are lots of people who are getting
interested now that were not before.
All of the box people that / have
met, except Colorado, are in favor of
our box. Colorado thinks that all of
the apples will be sold by the peck
as soon as the trees that are set out
are in full bearing; only for that they
would be in favor of our box. At
present they think that the large box
will be in more demand as it will
hold more if the pack is not good.
We had a half bushel measure in
the committee room and filled it
twice out of one of our boxes, to the
committees satisfaction.
I could not find any of our apples
that were sold by the peck or ever
had been. They are sold by the box,
by the piece or by the dozen.
There was only Washington and
Oregon represented. 1 was disap-
pointed in Idaho and Montana, as /
was led to believe that they would
be represented and do their part in
defeating the bill, but Oregon did her
part and the boys deserve great Gre
dit for their part in the work.
Yours in the interest of the north
west apple box and lobbyist on the
Lafean apple box bill,
l.. H. TITCHENAL.
P. ST. inclose telegram from w.
G. Hawley as follows:
IL. H. Titchenal, Cashmere:
Committee on agriculture took
action on Lafean bill today april
49,. My motion to lay that bill on
the table was carried by vote Of g
to g. nine to six This defeats the
bill.
