Steve Kralic is a Czecho-Slove,
who bought eighty acres of land in
1914. The land is situated north
west of Moreland near the point of
the lava beds and the price paid was
$4,000 on the installment plan. We
did not see Mr. Kralik, but the in
formation given by his daughter is
that he is farming that place and
100 acres of the Earl Jones farm
lying to the west of it. According
to his daughter they had a bad
break in the canal on July 4, 1915
that ruined a great deal of their
crops and prevented them from
keeping up with their payments on
the place. In the year 1918 they
built large barn, building much of
it with lava rock and finishing off
the top with lumber. According to
the daughter they bought $3.50
worth of lumber, paid $500 for
labor and got the barn completed,
but not all paid for. The work
men or the lumber dealer, she did
not say which, filed a, lien against
the work and according to her
understanding made it cost an extra
$4,000. They did not get anything
from the, canal company to cover the
damages from the break in 1915 and
one difficulty brought on another
until they found themselves owing
$7343 on the place and the barn,
even after having paid $500 down
at the time Of the purchase and they
finally gave up in. dispair and rented
the place. She says they are now
offered the opportunity of buying
the place for $4,000, but that they
are intending to move off at the end
of the present lease.
