Creswell
Coming
Front. to the
We have not been able to visit
it lately, but from what ve caii
leanb Creswell is coming to trie
front by leaps and bounds. It Is
building a new bank, will soon
have a large pulp and box mil1
and unless we are greatly disap
pointed in the people down there
will, in the near future have the
finest school building in the
county.
Creswell has a large, rich out
laying farming district in every
direction around it. It is a splen
did stock raising locality and yet
has immense timber resources
and we believe the time has now
come when it is going to surprise
even itself in progressive devel"
opment.
