HAS LITTLE. LOVE
FOR PUGET SOUND
Ohio Lawyer Anxious to Leave
Everett for Portland, Though
- He Wants to Be Sure, A,
Indlcatlveof how the average east
erner who settles Afi the Puget sound
country is Impressed with, that region
after a . year's residence there Is set
forth In the following letter, received
by Judge K. B. King of Portland, a
recent arrival from Sandusky City, Ohio.
Immediately upon receipt of the com
munication Judge King wrote .to his
friend, an attorney, advising him to
move to this city without delay. The
letter tn part reads as follows:
'I waa very much surprised to read
that you had left Sandusky City and was
now located In Portland. I cams bere
last . spring In April and- have bees la
the practice of law since. I cannot aay
that I like this, ooontrr: the winter has
been about like an Ohio winter In facC
more snow fell her this -winter than
fell In Ohto when I laat lived there. It
snowed last night 10 m depth of six to
eight Inches, and we have had tha ground
covered with snow almost all winter,
while wood and., coat 2 nave. been, so
scare that It waa almost impossible to
keep wa rrn. The commonest kind of
coal sells for per ton, while wood
coats S& a load and burns up Ilka so
much paper It It Is dry or don't - burn
at allif It Is green, and bow I have suf
ferer! with rheumatism!
"Krerybody her has rheumatism" and
bad colds and catarrh and this la the
wonderful " Puget sound country. The
most lled-about region In tha world, ' If
I could get out tomorrow I would go.
The cold, damp air penetrates worse
than the chilling ' winds of Lake Erie",
while tha thermometer stands around 10
above, aero and seems colder than 10
below. A What would you think of
Portland: would It be better or worse
than this place a to climate T I have
been thinking seriously of going there
for several months.;'
