MADRONA THOUSAND ACRE
ORCHARD In FINE SHAPE.

One of the most successful enter
prises that has been undertaken and
carried out In this county within the
last two years is that of the Madrona
Land company, the holdings OF
which are located on the south side
OF the Applegate river. opposite the
Murphy postoffice.
The land was purchased in 1909
and work of clearing and cultivation
began at once. When the proper
time arrived the planting OF fruit
trees was undertaken and carried
out In a most thorough manner.
The 1000 acres which compose
the holdings of the company, Were
divided into five-acre and 20-acre
tracts, and planted to Spitzenburg
and Yellow Newtown apples and Bart
lett Comice, Winter Nellis and De
Anjou pears. Most Of these trees
are now two years old and they a"s
fine specimens of practical hortic
ture, showing good cultivation al
general care There is no be-
land to be found In any country than
that which comprises these yo ng
orchard tracts.
These fruit tracts have all been
sold to good buyers In Alaska who
will, at the proper time, take u2
their residences on the property that
they have purchased. The general
idea of the Alaskan Is to make his
rile in the north country, then re-
tire to some place where climate.
soil and people are to his liking, aud
T. may be considered compliment
to Josephine county to have been
selected as the place Of residence OF
these desirable homebuilders.
Some few of these people have To-
Gated on their places here, but the
most OF them will be coming along
within the next two or three years.
The men directly responsible for
the success of this enterprise are G.
l.. Hobart, a prominent retired
Alaskan. who is general manager OF
the company, and o. H. Bernard.
who has had charge Of the selling OF
the orchards. He is another Alask-
an who knows the big north count y
and its people to perfection. and
they have shown their confidence In
him many times.

Hauling Snakes with Wood.

J. G. Lingle, of Faith, was IN
town Yesterday and told us his ex'
perience Saturday with a lot OF
copper head snakes. He had gone
to get a load of wood for the.
house and put it on the wagon
ard hauted it a distance of about
two miles. A boy told him he
saw a snake crawling in thu wood
on which he rode and upon I'M
loading it he came across a large
copperhead and killed it. Later
in the afternoon he was cutting
no the wood and came across q hol.
low stick which caused him to re-
member the snake and, thinking
possibly there we're more, was a lit
tie careful in handling it. When
he split this stick OPEN there he
found a nest containing SIX more
good sized young coppefheads.
Hs proceeded to kill all Of them,
but had a lively JOB of it,
