Stonocyphor of Eastsldo from a man who piirehusod a lot In Crawford Point from tho agcntB who have been touring tho country. From the large numbers or Inquiries concerning this proposition that havo boon rocolvod on the Way, this Is probably tho Wangcst or them all. Mr. Stonccypher has not answered it yet. Just how ho can toll him any encouraging news about his purchase In Crawrord Point Is probably more than he can figure out. An there are no buildings there and no residents nearer than Coouton, which Is quite a dlstanco oven from tho edges of the Crawford Point tract, It Is not believed that L. 10. Mpyor could do very well with u hotel there. Ho fllgiiH hlmsolf I,. E. Moyer of Oothon hurg, Nebr., and If It was not for tho pathetlo sldo of Ills letter as revealed In reading between tho lines, tho oplstlo might ho considered humor ous, lie writes: "I, having bought a lot in Crawford Point, am anxious to hoar all tho good qualities about tho place and country around, hut do not toll any bad things. Does It ovor grow very cold there fn winter? And Is (hero as much diiHt thoro au In Northern Oregon? If a person Is quite handy, ran he inako a living thoro should ho not bo in vory good circumstances? Is rent vory high or can ono find places that might bo routed quite cheap.
