and came near investing. in fact would
have done SO had not the panic which
tied him up so at home that
ne could not do so. He was greatly inn
pressed with the country then and is
only sorry that he could not have i'm
proved the opportunities he then saw.
quite Il number of his former towns
men are already located in this city
and valley. so he does not feel quite
like a stranger. though the improve
ment in the city since 1892 is so marked
that he has hardly got his bearings yet.
He is a young and active business man
