Concerning HIh Piirchuso
Ono of tho most unique letters that
has boon rccoivod hero in a long time
has rocontly boon sont to K. A.
Stonccyphor of Enstsldo from a iniin
who purchased n lot in Crawrord
Point from tho agents who lmvo been
touring tho country. From tho largo
numbers of Inquiries concerning this
proposition that havo boon received
on tho Hay, this is probably tho
BtrniiKcut of thorn all.
Mr. Stonccyphor has not nnsworcd
it yet. Just how ho can toll him any
encouraging news about his purclinso
lit Crawford Point is probably moro
than ho cull flgtiro out. As thoro uro
no buildings thoro ami no residents
nearer than Coonton, which is qulto
a dlBtanco oven from tho edges of
tlio Crnwford Point tract, It Is not
bollovotl that L. 13. Moyor could do
very well with n hotel thoro. Ho
signs himself L. 10. 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?"
