J. M. Crawford, President of the Tum-A-Lum Lumber Com pany with headquarters at Wall Walla, Wash., has been in town several days this week in com pany with Frank Waite, and ex pects to open up a lumber and supply business in Madras and several other places in the south part, of the county. These gen tlemen have several cars of build ing material on the road at the present time, including lumbe-i, cement, etc., and their yards' will be located on the Depot Ad dition to Madras. nt advertisement of the lownsite ofVanora contains the following state ment:iothe West of Vanora lies the Warm Springs Indian Reservation, which will, according to the statements made by the Indian Agent soon be thrown open for settlement, this would insure a great rush to Vanora.' I wish to announce that I have never at an lime made such a slatenient. If the Reservaiion were opened there would be no great rush to Vanora, as Vanora is not the railroad point for the reservation. I am not interested in Vanora or nny other townsite, and I do not propose to have my name connected, even by infer ence, with an enterprise the advertise- iui ui wuicn contain at many gross mUtatements of facts as apprar in the lit erature advertising Vanora.
