John Proctor, the owner of the
l.. ?. Brown townsite of Cottonwood
has shown to our people and the
public, by his acts. that he is one of
the foremost and most liberal in
contributing to public improve
ments and enterprises.
Through the influence of his To-
cal agent in this place, Mr.. Sam.
Goldstore, he was induced to donate
outright, % acres of very valuable
land adjoining the townsite, for de-
pot grounds and side tracks, also the
right -of-way through 25 valuable
lots. The public spirit ofthese gentle
men is truly commendable, and they
deserve the thanks (ifnothing more)
of every man who has the upbuild-
ing and welfare of his town at heart.
Mr.. Goldstone has always manifes-
ted progressive spirit and this is a
master stroke of diplomacy.
