Attorney Pentr. has been inter
viewing many of our people along
tho proposed line for the extension
of tho railway from Butte Falls to

not care to welcome or encourage the

these parties will wait years for trnn
sportation facilities.
A very unusual experience for

not infer from tho freshness and
grcennes of vegetation about us that
such has been the ense.
