March S.-(Special V The Blasosyk will case, which has been stubbornly fought In district court here during tha last nine days, came to a close last night, the Jury, after an honr's de liberation, finding for the contestants on the first ballot. During the two years ofJ Its pendency the matter has aroused a great deal of Interest, owing to the large fortune at stake. Mary Anna Blasczyk died two years ago. I having reached the extreme old age of S3 years, and having outlived her entire family, including her two sons, who were i-ltisens and land owners In this county i and whose property she had Inherited. The value of her estate is now estimated at HO.iVW. More than a year before her death she had made a will bequeathing all this property, except a minor bequest to the church, to Mrs. Mlcharllne Povtowskl of Farwell, who cared fur her during her de clining years, and to her two sons, John and Joseph PovlowskL However, a month later she made a revocation of this will. After her death the beneficiaries of the re voked will filed It for probate, but protest being made and the revocation produced by parties who undertook to take up the pos sible rights of relatives of the deceased, the county court threw out the will. The beneftrlarles of the will then appealed to the riixtrli't court and the case came up in court March 13 and was hard fought for nine days, over thirty witnesses being examined, with the result named. The will was represented by Attorneys C. I Hoover of South Omaha and Bell and Templin of this city, the contestants by F. J. Taylor of this city, W. H. Thompson of Grand Island and German Vice Consul S. L. Gelsthardt of Lincoln. This solution of the ease gives the estate to such relatives as may be found In the deceased's native place In German Poaen. Six of her seven brothers and slitters are known to have died In the old country and the seventh, named Andreas Florcxak, Is thought to have gone to America in his young days, but was never heard from. !

One of the finest fruit sections of Oregon if not the entire United States will be brought into direct touch with the great fruit markets of the world by the completion of the Grants Pasa and Rogue River railroad, now being constructed through the marvelously rich Apple pate and Williams valleys of Southern Oregon. These valleys are lo cated in the famous Rogue River district. Their soils are particularly adapted to the growing of Pears, Peaches, Apples and other fruits, berries and small grains. The nu merous mountain streams provide an abundance of pure water for irri gation and all other purposes. However, most Rogue River fruit H grown WITHOUT IRRIGATION, it having been proven that non-irrigated fruit is in every way superior to that grown by irrigation. 99 "The New Garden of Eden as this part of Oregon has justly been called, contains 7,000 acres of this fine Pear land. It has been stated by both state and government experts to be the "Largest Tract of Fine Pear Land" in the United States. They have pronounced the eeil of these valleys, the climate, , . and the elevation to be ideal for the raising of Pears. -In fact,-Rogue -River Pears today command a higher price than pears from any other section of the country, and but a very small part of the demand can be supplied. Ten acres of this fine land planted in Pears will bring you an in come of $5,000 to $10,000 per year. This has been proven by men who have become rich from the products of 20 and 25-acre tracts in these valleys, and when they started they knew no more about fruit-raising thanyou do. This land is sold in 10 to 320-acre tracts, part cash, bal ance at 6 interest. At the present prices it is $75 to $300 per acre cheaper than any fruit land of the same character in the United States.
