Air. Cotter found Uyde» very ac
tive. X»*w buildings are going up and
lots increasing in value. New
business houses are appearing and
others are comtemplated.
Hut with all the business activity,
Air. Cotter believes that persons ex
porting to sotfTe there should either
be well .applied with money to carry
hem through this winter or wait
ant ! sprbrr before settling there. The
Ktson for this is that he believes the
actual on. ’.- tions will not start cn a
large scale until next spring and un
til that time everyone will find it nec
essary to he conservative in his ex
penditures. x
