A. d. Roberts is in receipt of letter
from a friend, ii. G. Crochet, now re-
riding at Sank, Skagit Co.. Wash
ington, who says 1.-The only chance
that can see for man here is TO go
way back, and take some land, and
stay by It. work out some and work
the land the rest of the time. This is
no place TO come just to make stake.
We have good water, hut the land is
very hilly and hard to clear but when
cleared is very productive. Fruit does
well, and vegetables, and all kinds of
stock, and bring fair prices. 1t is a
wild country. and difficult of access.
but like 1t better than Michigan.
This Is evidently written by candid
man who by the tenor of his letter
acknowledges the drawbacks of that
section and does not laud 1t TO the
skies. We imagine Michigan Is ''all
right" yet.
