WHITE SALMON (Fran tha EnUrpria) The Colburu hotel has b-ien rushed with business of late, frequently havlug over forty to dinner. IUck K reps, the stage driver, says the road between this place and Hunum wan never la worse condl elon. There no fear of anyone disputing him. Surveyors of the state highway passed through the main street of ISIngen and on to the mouth of the White Salmon, which stream they will bave to bridge at an elevation 150 feet higher than the railway. The survey, however, In not final, being for the purpose of getting at the approximate cost of the project. White Salmon's first heavy fall of enow occurred on Tuseday after noon and evening, about two feet of It on the level, which was made sloppy and soggy by a rain the next morning. Several sleighing parties were out Tuesday evening It rained again on the following day, and now the sun Is out and reducing the snow to rain water. M. Marlln, of Portland, arrived lu the valley the first of the week with a crew of nine men for the purpose of logging off forty acres of hln land a mile and a half northwest of lln sum. The logs will be plied and afterward sawed for lumber or burned. Grubbing will le done In the spring and the entire tract set to trees. Mine Parks, who arrived from Kansas City about ten days ago, fell Into the basement of the At woe id home at Bristol Tuesday and re ceived a bad cut on the head. It was about five Inches long and so torn that a hand could lie placed under the scalp. Naturally the wound Is a painful one, but making satisfactory progress In healing. Following the petition for annexa tlon of Itlugen to White Salmon, a counter remonstrance petition has leen circulated, and, according to a dispatch from that place to the dallies, It has the names of"nlne-j tenths of the property holders." It seems that a majority of the people want consolidation, but on a prop erty basis the majority In the other way. The probability Is that White Salmon will have one Natlonaal Hank, If not two. The (illlett Bros. Private Bank and the White Salmon Valley Bank have both made appli cation. The latter got their applica tion In first for a charter, conse quently will be the Flrnt National Bank of White Salmon.
