like. I have been nnder Ibe care of two
of the best doctors bere and have a nurse

they would have to bury me bere at one
time. I haven't been out ol doors yet.
Tbe doctor thought he would take me out
driving next Monday. G, F. Watson
and all of the boys have stayed right by
me. The weather is nice here, the nights
are cool and tbe days are warm. I can
lie in bed and look out ol tbe window.
That helps some. When I get a little
stronger I will write you a long letter
tolling you all about the country.
Ever yours, F.P.Walker.

The following letter Is self-explanatory
and Mr. Agnew's many old friends in
this county will wish him abundant suc
cess in bis new undertaking:
Portland, Ore., Jan. 24, 1910.
Dear Friend: -On Jan. 10th I bought
a half Interest in the Princess Hotel in
Portland and have takeu possession of
tbe ssme. It is an Incorporated company
and I am its president, as well as mana
ger or tbe hotel. AH the first class hotels
bere are incorporated. The Princess Is
not tbe largest hotel, but I think one of
tbe nicest, and Is the only fireproof hotel
in tbe city. It is a little larger than I
baye ever conducted but I think I can
manage it all right and make it pay with
out robbing tbe public. The hotel Is a
four-story concrete building, steam heat
ed, hot and cold water In every room aud
most of the rooms have private bath.
There is also a nice office, large lobby,
restauraut grill and bar, everything first
class to accommodate the traveling pub
lic, as well as my many eastern friends.
You will please hereafter send the good
old Republican to the Princess Hotel,
Portland, Oregon, as we couldn't got
along wi'bout it. I think one year on
the ranch has been quite sufficient for a
man or my age. I thought I might as
well take life a little more easy and not
spend my old days by working ou a
ranch. We are having our annual sale,
as usual, so you Bee I am very busy at
present. I am enclosing you a bill of tbe
sale so you cati see what a farmer I was,
Robert Carson and bis mother are well.
He sends regards to all his Iriends. We
are all well and enjoying fine weather at
present. Remember me to all the boys,
-Yours, Leonard Aonew.
