ledo, Ohio, has purchased an entire
town for $45, 900. The town is Grand
Dalles just across the Columbia from
the Dalles, Oregon. 1t comprises 300
acres, a water plant and few build
ings. Detweiler says he intends to
build up manufacturing town with
people from Ohio and California, who
prefer northern climate. Grand
Dalles was originally laid off for a
manufacturing city and large build
ings were put up for shoe factories.
Excursions were run from the east

colored statements of baptist min
lister and promoter of the early seven
