Moyor of Oothon burg, Nobr., and if it was not for tho pathetic sldo of his lottor as revealed In reading between tho linos, tho oplstlo might bo considered humor ous. Ho writes: "I, having bought a lot in Crawford Point, am anxious to hoar all tho good qualities about tho placo nud country around, but do not toll nny bad tilings. l).oes it over grow vory cold thoro in winter? And Is thoro ns much dust thoro ns in Northern Orogon? If a pomon is qulto handy, citn ho mako a living thoro should ho not bo In vory good circumstances? Is rout vory high or can ono find plucoa that might bo rontod qulto choap. Now ploaso do not writo any thing that might tend to discourage. What would a rooming house do in Ctawford Point?"
