Mr. C. K. J-Bayard left Portland for
Eastern Oregon Friday to examine into
the matter of Indian depredations. He
will be occupied there a month and will
then go to Astoria.

Two German families arrived here from

A splendid rain visited this section
Sunday, but lasted too quick, Monday
lawriing bright, clear and cold, with a
sprinkling of snow on the hills across the
river. It is not probable that the rain
fall was general in Eastern Oregon.
Mr. Jack Britten is in the city for a
brief visit. He tells us most of the
former employes here who are now at
Albina, would gladly return, much pre
ferring The Dalles to their present
location.
Rev. A. Lambert is giving a mission
at St. Peter's church, commencing yes

Sunday. All Catholics and. others are

Lambert in the work "he has undertaken.

The entire outfit of this office was pur-
phased from the well-known firm of
Palmer & Eey, and therefore gives en
tire satisfaction. The Cottrell press is
the lest ever brought to The Dalles, and
the typj! and material is first-class in
very particular. In job type many new
faiies 11 be found which will, no doubt,
l appreciated. We had the pick of
this tirfi'8.iujjiense stock, and you can
rest ii'ssured' we obtained the liest.
The handsome sign which graces The
'Ciikonici.e building is the artistic work
of our home painter, Mr. Hardy. His
work is always first-class, but we think
lie Htretched a point when painting that
jwirticular sign. If there is an artist on
Siie coast that can beat him at the sign
jiaintuig branch of the business we have
failed to meet him.
Mr. J. H. Larsen informs us that he
lias handled since January 1st a little over
SI ,000 sheep pelts; and estimates that
other parties here have handled 62,000.
A grand total of 126,000, and more than
JM) per (cent, of these were from sheep
dying during the winter. It speaks well
' for the country that with a loss of 156,000
sheep, or probably nearer 200',000, since
many of their pelts were not saved, the
'Amount of wool delivered in this market
this season was not perceptible decreased.
lTlie Dalles leads the United States as a
wool market and this in spite of any loss
tfluft anay occur.
The moving of the men from the shops
here to Albina has demonstrated the
lac, that the company must have shops
inrfhe interior. Their business at La
'"Grande has steadily increased until
nearly all the work for the division east
of ns is done there. This is the best
natural point on the line of the road for
the shops, and that the company is not
certain it has made a good move, is
proven by its leaving all the machinery
and plant here. With the first severe
wtornis of the winter a large foree will be
put at work here, for the simple reason
that the company cannot get along with
out thorn.

Its Prospects for a Large
Manufacturing City.
LOTS BEING TAKEN VERY FAST
FOR'BUILDING AND BUSINESS
PURPOSES.
It would' be difficult to find a better
illustration of the courage--determination
business foresight and rapidity of execu
tion so characteristic of the people of
this great northwest, than is found in the
life and progress at North Dalles. The
entire work is only in its infancy, hardlj
commenced", short as the time "is, how
ever, enough has been done or put under
way to convince the most skeptical that
the founders of this enterprise are in
earnest and will establish here this com
ing year a prosperous city. It is only in
the days of modern enterprises when
men can be found who are prompt in
the execution of larsfe undertakings that
towns and cities are built up, and people
awake to the idea that capital has stepped
in and carried out that which nature in
tended so many of these towns to be,
large commercial shipping and manu
facturing points.
Geographically situated North Dalles
has perhaps no superior on the Columbia
river or in the northwest as a shipping
point.
There is tributary to it not less than
5)000 square miles of valuable farming
land which will not remain longer with
out railway connections. And while it
may be admitted that the water ways do
not do away with the necessity for'rail
roads to the full and complete develop
ment of this country, yet the increase in
the volume of business done on these
rivers fully proves that neither does the
building of railroads do away with the
use of water ways nor render them a less
mighty factor iii its general growth and
prosperity. But the two go hand in
nana providing a means by which the
traffic of these inland empires may be
cheaply handled.
Nature has done her work to perfec
tion, nothing is needed to fill out the
picture, but the skill and thrift of an
industrious and intelligent community to
make this portion of our state an assured
success. The fact that the U. S. govern
ment is awake to the importance of
opening up the Columbia river for navi
gation by large appropriations, would
seem to indicate the tact that they expect
these thousands of acres of uncultivated
lands which line the banks of the Colum
bia river for hundreds of miles to become
settled by thrifty farmers.
If you" will study the work laid out
by the government "yon will soon be con
vinced that North Dalles will secure all
tne trade irom tne country nortn tor a
distance of 125 miles and taking in some
ot the nnest agricultural lantl m that
state.
Over seven million pounds of' wool are
shipped from The Dalles vearlv. There
can be no legitimate reason advanced
why woolen mills would not be an
assured success. Next then to the Boot
& Shoe factory, soon to be opened, our
people must not be surprised if this new
industry is not added to the one at
North !Dalles and put on a solid financial
foundation immediately.
It is now an assured fact that one of
the largest tanneries west of the Miss
issippi river will be put up by eastern
capital, this enterprise alone would em
ploy a large force of men. The next
thirty davs will make business very
lively at North Dalles. During the last
weeli something like 110 lots were sold or
engaged, many of them for business and
building purposes and those by men who
have a keen eye to the immediate pros
pects for advancement. The fact that a
trade was consumated last week across
the river for over $58,000 adds one more
link in its future.
When we say that North Dalles will be
a busy center of trade and that it will
continue to grow rapidly, we feel confi
dent that we are not overstepping the
bounds of probable reason. Towns are
built up nowadays as if by magic, and
we hardly know where the capital came
from, sufficient that it is always ready
when opportunities exist. Talking
lately at Spokane Falls with a gentleman
who "lived some miles north of the city
and who had not visited the Falls for the
last three years, he said to me, "I can
not understand this city. I see before
me blocks presenting a solid front seven
stories high. I cannot see who is to
occupy them, where the business is to
come from, surelj" capital must le wild.
These lots that are now worth $50,000 I
could have had my choice of at $300 only
four years ago."" I said to my friend,
why "did you not buy? Did "you not
know that the water power of Spokane
Falls would build up a city? Did you
not know that there was" millions of
acres of land tributary to it? Could you
not take the map of this country and
trace out canyons and passes which
would compel railroads to center there?
"No," he said "I was not a believer in
the future of this country. I lacked
confidence. I was what-if now called a
"mossbaek," the worst enemy this
country now has, but if I ever' have
another opportunity I certainly win im
prove it."
I said to him, your opportunities have
gone, ko far as Spokane is concerned, vou
must look for new towns where the samf"r
conditions exist. V
