Taking an Extended Vacation.

J. A. Lee of Salem, Oregon, who is here visiting his father, A. D. Lee, is taking quite an extended vacation, the first he has taken in years. He is engaged in a prosperous abstracting business in Salem. He recently sold a half interest in the business, which has grown to large proportions, and is taking advantage of the addition of another member of the firm to look after the business awhile and visit relatives in Indiana and Michigan. He was a delegate to the recent Methodist conference at Minneapolis, where he put in a month, and came from there to Rensselaer. He will visit a brother in Lake county, Mich., before returning home, which will not be for several weeks yet. i Mr. Lee is much taken up with the Oregon county about Salem, which is devoted principally to hops and fruit growing. Prune growing is one of the leading industries of that section, while apples and other fruits of the finest quality are grown there in abundance, , The country possesses many advantages for the poor man or man in moderate circumstances, he thinks.
