the past year so it may not
be of much use to you. We
have some acquaintances
here who are looking for
government lands in Oregon.
They expect to go up that way
soon and are constantly

send along to you so you
can get some valuable circulars
too if you wish them.

This country is fast filling
up. It's hard to get good

Everything is advancing in
price too.
