Many Improvements.
Some of the improvements
I note, which this year has
phe Dalles, can be seen on tl
lie head of Madison etree.
ftsX new houses fve
"others 'renovated. -A
w
f v
porter happened up that way today, and
noticed some items of interest,' The new
cottage built .by Mrs.. Bolton is nearing
completion and will make a very pretty
residence. The design is one of the most
modern; both inside ' and outside,
aiui the materials and .workman
chip are of first-class quality. Next to
Mrs. Bolton's new residence, one of the
older houses has been renovated till it
has an appearance of newness that is in
keeping with its ntighbor. The greatest
improvement is that done by Mr. James
Snipes. . Where formerly was the bed of
a lake, filled with water in winter and
dry in summer, now Etabds the hand
some new hiftne of Mr. Snipes. The
house is a modern two-story one, which
can be seen from different parts of town
and which itself commands a .magnifi
cent view. Inside it is handsomely
finished and contains the most modern
appliances for ; housekeepings - Mr.
Snipes' cellar is blasted out of solid rock,
a way of building cellars that is not very
common. A commodious barn adds to
the appearance of the property. '.The
streets on the side and in front of Mr.
Snipes' residence have been filled in and
leveled, while many , loads of rock and
dirt were necessary to cause the old lake
to disappear. From this site a most
beautiful view can be obtained in all di
rections. It is such improvements as
this of Mr. Snipes which add much to
the worth and appearance of the town.
Several other new houses were noticed
in this immediate locality, among them
being the residences of Mr. Mann and
Mr. Barzee, which are finished and that
of Mr. Rowe now in process of construe-
tion.

that is the present calculation of its own'

with various misfortunes in its career.
having suffered disasters by flood and
fire besides contending with the hard
times, which every one has had to meet.
The flood of 1894 ruined the plant at
Grants and necessitated the expenditure
of a largeamount of money in re-baild-
ing. The set back given by the flood
proved too heavy a shock for the com
pany to rally from without first shutting
down and re-organizing. Now, we un
derstand, the concern has been put on a
sound basis and expects to do a large
and lucrative business in the future.
The news will be pleasant to the people
of Grants and Sherman county, as the
distillery has been a great factor in dis
posing of the products of that section of
country. Besides the making of alcohol
this concern carried on other pursuits,
such as the making of flour, feeding
Btock for sale, etc. A mistake was made
when this plant was placed at Grants
instead of The Dalles, for with due re
spect to that town the advantages of The
Dalles for manufacturing purposes are

Death of Olivia Rowland.
The ead intelligence was conveyed
last night of the death, of Miss Olivia
Rowland, daughter of Mr. and Mrs,
George W. Rowland. For nearly s
month the younn, lady has been suffer-
ng from a coinpUca'tfn ot troubles,
which about two weeks ago took a very
seriou3 turn. A consultation of physi
cians revealed the fact that medical aid
could do nothing to save the sufferer's
life, and steadily she grew worse, till
last night at 8 :30 the end came. Al
though death was not unexpected, the
news caused a ehock throughout the
town and cast a gloom over the large
group of friends which Olivia Rowland
could call her own. The event is die
tressingly sad to those who have known
the dead girl from babyhood and seen
her grow into a noble woman.
She was a few months passed 22 years
old, and was born in this city, where
the years of her life were spent. Her
isposition was of a kind that drew to
her as friends those who came in con
tact with her, and there will be genuine
eorrow among the young people over
the loss "of a sweet companion.
The family will have the sincere sym-
of everyone in their deep affliction.

Sunday gcbool Exercises.
The exerciees of the quarterly review at
the Congregational Sunday school, con
ducted by Aest. Snpt. E- H. Merrill,
were of unusual interest and happily
arranged. .: First and foremost always
are Mrs. Condon's "Sunbeams and Day
springs." They marched to music and
occupied the front seats of the church,
where Mrs. Condon conducted an exer
cise of questions and answer? on the
topics treated in the quarter's lesson.
Little Katharine Taylor, whose mother
was a member of Mrs. Condon's class in
childhood, read a pretty leelcction.
There are several instances of where two
generations have sat under Mrs. Con
don's instruction, and we doubt if the
like can be matched many places in the
state. In the shifting nomadic life of
the new West, a time representing
many and great changes, even in the
more settled communities that one per
son should 6tav continuously teaching
from one generation to another, is, we
think unparalleled.
Mrs. Huntington's class eang a pretty
song and answered most promptly and
clearly the call for the titles of the les
sons and the golden texts of the quar
ter. This class showed admirable
training on the part of their teacher.
Other classes were represented, each by
a member, Miss Virgie Cooper reading
a paper from Dr, Geike, showing the
condition of Israel's tribe in the time of
the judges. Hattie Cram, Sybil Cash
ing, Lulu Rowe, Harold Thompson,
Alice Price, Nora Tonng and Edward
Baldwin had been selected as represent
atives for their respective-lasetjB, -ard

the best possible manner.
The exercises attracted many visitors,
who departed well pleased with what
they saw and heard.
Elegantly Famished.
The Commercial and Athletic Club
rooms have been the liveliest place in
town today. At different hours of the
day knots of members could be seen dis
cussing the furnishings and fittings of
the rooms, and every remark was a com
plimentary one. The furniture arrived
on the Regulator Saturday night, and
yesterday the carpets were put down
and the chairs and tables unpacked and
arranged. The rooms are quite elegant,
the papering, carpet and furniture being'
in pleasing harmony. This morning the
carpenters began the work of laying
down a new floor and taking out the old
elevator, which for years has stood in
the building. One of the billiard tables
baa arrived, though not yet put together.
At a meeting of the trustees held Sat
urday evening it was decided to pur-
chase a piano for the club, and tomor
row will seen an instrument of the best
make ornamenting the rooms.
