ALL TRIE BUT "Geographical location has des tined The lallea to oe the great market for the interior, and this emphasitea tlie fact that here nhould he the terminus of a railroad leading outh. The pro ject of securing terminal facilities with the Columbia .Southern is directly in this line, and our citi tent should use every effort in that direction. This can lie ac complished if prompt action is taken by our business men. A meeting should be had. and the proposition thoroughly canvassed. As a market for the country south the volume of trade would he largely increased, and the open river, making this catty an ocean- competitive point, would insure cheap freight to and fron the east. For the wholesale business there is no point on the Columbia river more favorably situated, and natur al facilities in the topography of the country make The Dalles the natural termini for transportation routes to tne country contiguous and naturally tributary. ' But with all these advantages, something must be done by local capitalist! and business men to profit by them. Our people can not remain idle and allow the op portunity to pass unheeded, and expect to reap the natural benefits of location and river transporta tion to tidewater. It is an old say ing, hut age bas not robbed it of any of its truthfulness, that "God helps those who help themselves." We Bhould make a personal appli cation of this, and the coming spring will be a very opportune time. , The discussion of The Dalles Celilo canal and locks has attracted public attention to oui commercial and manufacturing availabilities, and if an attractive invitation is extended we are fully satisfied that eastern capital will come here and develop our resourc es. The fruit cannery will be in operation this summer, and this should be followed by other enter prises which would increase our business and be factors of develop ment. Next year the Lewis and Clark fair will be held in Portland and this will be the best opportun ity ever offered to advertise our commercial facilities and manu facturing advantages. Let us, if possible, secure the terminus of the Columbia Southern Railroad and establish the fruit cannery the coming season, and then start in a iVBtem of judicious advertis ing that will make our advantages thoroughly known to the outside world. We shall not lag behind in the march of progress if proper efforts are made, and this will de end entirely upon our citizens." The Dalles Chronicle.

REPORT TO BE FAVORABLE State Engineer A. E. Hammond Expresses Himself on the Des chutes Irrigation Projects. State engineer, A. E. Hammond who has been in the Deschutes valley for the past ten days in specting the irrigation enterprises in that district, returned to Port land Tuesday and from there will go before the state land board at Salem to give in his report. Mr. Hammond stated that he had made a careful investigation of the work going on in that sec tion and would report favorably on both the irrigation projects festahlished there. ''I find," he said, "that the Columbia Southern company has completed nearly ;!fl per cent of the work required in its contracts and is in a fair way to get its land undt-r an early settlement. The Pilot Butte Development company as yet has not completed 10 per cent of the work rwinired, but with the present force kept in Eire, starting from the roof, par tially destroyed the second story of the courthouse at 8 o'clock this morning. The office on the first floor and the county court room were not damaged and work will be resumed in them as soon as the water and dirt can he cleaned out The damage to tht building will amount to (2000 which is fully covered by insurance. County Clerk J. J. Smith had been in the building only a few minutes when the blate was (lis covered. A fire had been started in the county court room stove and Mr. Smith had just built a fire in the clerk's office when the smell of smoke led to the discov ery of the burning roof which had been set on fire, it is thought by the sparks from the chimney. A 40 mile gale was blowing at the time and the Dames were given a j draft. Only the prompt and ef fective work of the fire companies saved the building and those amiss the street from total destruction. Both fire companies were soon on the ground and inside of o5 minutes the Hames were extinguish ed. Almost all of the second story was wiped lip, hut with systematic work the fireman confined the flames to the upier floor. As soon as the fire was discover ed all hooks and records in all the oflices were put into the fire proof safes and so far as known nothing of value has been lost. While the firemen were fighting the Hames from the outside, the county clerk, sheriff and deputies, with the as sistance offered, gathered up the books and paerB and carried out the furniture. The court house was built in ISS7 at a cost of W)iX), H. A. Bel knap being the contractor. The Mrs, A. C. Knightcn, of Howard, was in the city last Tuesday. J.N. Hunter was n business visitor from Deschutes Wednesday. C. D.' Wiest and wife, of IVs chilli's, were ill the city the first of the week. The Leap Year parly, which is to lie given by the Ladies Annex, has been set for Friday evening Feb. 'JR. Wheu it conies to getting to a tiro our lire laddies are all right, They are ''Johnny-on-the-spot" every time. Sheriff Smith announces that he has opened his office, in the county jail where he will transact his business until further notice Mr. Warren Brown has been in the city for several days seeking medical treatment. He had to close his school on Willow creek for a while. Mrs, B. F. Allen is very sick at her residence on B street. She has the 'sciatic rheumatism and heart trouble and grave fears are entertained of her recovery. February was ushered in by warm weather which makes one feel that summer is here. Eastern people who come in here to prove on their timber claims are delight ed with our climate. Miss Delia Cantrill had the mis jfurlune to fail down stairs and dis I locate one of her shoulders last Sunday. Dr. Ciesner was called and reset the shoulder and the young lady is getting along very well. C. Mcl'herson, of Crook county, was in the city Saturday, return ing from Portland, whew he hail lceu with a car load of beef.
