Gently joined his father at Santa Bar

Last Sunday wife and called at the
home Of Ii. G. Crockett. We found Mr..
Crockett comfortable in his rocking

has been i'll but now is convalescent,

be good news TO his many friends, who
have missed him lately. Mr.. Crockett
has delightful home site, as well as q
valuable tract OF land, situated seem
ingIy midway between the two snow
capped sentinels, Mounts Hood and
Adams, and with view Of both sides of
Hood River He surely made no mis-
take in his selection OF home. The
railroad survey passes near his house.
This, with other advantages and devel-
opments in this section, gives promise OF
his place soon becoming valuable one.
