Lee, who is now located at Eagle Point in tne sawmill outi ness. Mr. Lee was formerly school su perintendent of Umatilla county, and left here two months ago, looking for a location: Eagle Point, Ore., May 9. (Editor East Oregonian) Since my last com munication I have invested in a saw mill and planer a few miles from thlr place, and withiu two and a half miles of the route of the Medford & Crater Lake railroad. We have about 5,000,000 feet of good timber, fir,, pine and cedar, convenient to the mill, which will keep us busy for at least two years or more. Eagle Point is quite a small village, located In the eastern part of the Rogue River valley, on Little Butte, a stream about like the Umatilla at Pendleton. The nearest point on the Southern Pacific to us is Central point, 10 miles west, and the country between here and there is mostly prairie, but a good deal of It is very thin and not of much value without water. A company is now putting In a ditch which is expected to cover all of this land. 'The M. & C. L. railroad passes directly through this so-called desert and when they once get plenty of wa ter on it the land will be valuable. We expect the railroad to reach this place some time in July. The hills here are covered with scraggy oak, both white oak and black, madrouno and a kind of brush that looks much like greasewood, and I see large numbers of hogs in the hills everywhere, and I am told they do fine on the mast and wild feed. Corn does well and I see people feeding it not only to their hogs, but to horses and other stock. This is not much of a wheat country, though It does better here than In the Wil lamette. There are large numbers of cattle, hogs and horses raised here, but very few sheep. It Is brushy on the range and the wolves are plentiful and hungry- Of course, every one raises fruit, but in this locality It Is mostly apples. Small fruit does not do very well without Irrigation. Land is high and going higher all the time. I am pleased with the climate thus far warm days with cool nights and mornings. This is a wonderful country for flowers, especially roses; every yard has been full of all kinds of roses for a month. Two brothers of Jack Childreth of Pendlelon, were here a few days ago, and are coming In to run a blacksmith and wagon shop. If any of the friends up there think of coming down here, I shall be pleased at any time to give them all the information in my reach. L. H. LEE. FORTUNE IX HAND. Idaho Man Sells Homestead for $7000 After Seven Years' Work. Cyrus W. Leasure . and Delia H. Leusure have sold their fine 160-acre farm, located about six miles east ot Nez Perce, to Thomas Haley for J 7, 000, says the Capital News. The transfer shows the remarkable advance In the price of agricultural land In the vicinity of Lewiston. Sev eral years ago at the time the Nez Perce Indiun reservation was allotted and thrown open for settlement, Mr. Leasure and his wife came down from Moscow und went In with the rush. They acquired this 160 acres In section 30, township 34, range 2 east, by homestead entry and have since then proved up on It. Land in this vicinity produces about an average of 20 bushels of grain to the acre, so that during the seven years he has owned this land, Mr. Leasure has made thousands of dol lars out of bis crops. He now re ceives $7000 for the farm or at the rate of $44 an acre. One acre has more than paid all bis cost of filing and proving up his homestead. 8lxty acres river bottom land, ad Joining the city limits. Host all In an excellent state of cultivation. Good improvements on the place. WIU rtturn a big profit on the Investment E. T. WADE SOX. P. O. Box 114. 'Phone Black 111L Office in E. O. Building. Minister for Irrlgon.

WE WANT TO SUPPLY YOU WITH YOUR Notice to Debtors. All persons indebted to me will please call and settle at once, as I have sold my butcher business and need the money. CONRAD PLATZOEDER, B. C. Cuvelller. a wealthy and prominent San Franciscan, went to the roof of an 11-story building to ulclde, which he did by blowing his Colorado People Search for Qnan trell's Treasure. A reputed treasure of gold dust and United States greenbacks buried In the mountains just off the old South Park stage line, again Is luring searchers into the hills, says the Den ver Post. A dispatch from Bailey's, on the South Park line, says that two strangers have arrived at that place to hunt for the booty of stage rob bers, hidden thereabouts 40 years ago. In 1864 James Reynolds, a confed erate captain became leader of a guer rilla band similar to Quantrell's. The gang held up and robbed whnt was called the "Buckskin coach" on the old South Park trail, mid secured over $40,000. The gang was attacked the next clay, one man killed. Captain Rey nolds and John Reynolds aud one other escaped southward.
