THE NEWS MAN AWAY FR03I HIS
PAPER AN I) COUNTY.
The last letter I wrote wa? from
The Dalles just after our arrival there
and before I had seen much of the
town. "Well, as it was the glorious
Sabbath and Confenence in session I
concluded to take a rest and also
take in the Church doings of the
day, but on meeting a brother typo
by the name of Chas. Sears, former
ly of the S F. Chronicle but now a
civil engineer for Theilson, and as a
consequence became deeply engaged
in discussing the H. H. prospects of
Eastern Oregon and other matters
dinner was called ere we were aware
of the lateness of the hour. After
' dinner I, in company with Rev. Mc-
. Kean attended the M. E. Sunday
i School. There I noticed a dozen or
more Indians that seemed ..enjoy the
ceremonies of the afternoon hugely.
The house was filled with pleasant
people and the school was very inter
esting. At the night service a ser
mon was preached by Rev. Turner,
several Ministers ordained as Elders
and the appointments for the confer
ence year read. On Monday morn
iu," I started out to see what I could
see, and soon seen that I was at the
Mountaineer Office and so stepped
in and had a 4 'chat with the boys".
Mr. Hand has the most complete
office in Eastern Oregon, and is the
only one that has a power press and
the beauty is he runs it by water
power. I next went to J. Selling's,
"the printres' friend." where is to
be found an immense stock of all
kinds of goods. Next is Mr. L. D.
Frank, the saddler, and I was very
much surprised to -find so large and
so well selected a stock as he carries
in fact it is as he says. The room is
large and commodious and every ar
ticle is so arranged that the buyer is
enabled at a glance to see what he is
buying. I also took a hurried in
spection of the stores of Sir. Moody,
Mr. Bleaumar & Soil, and Mr. Mil
ler's, and whose advertisements will
appear in The News as soon as the
gentlemen send them, at which time
an insighto their respective stores
will be given. In sauntering around
town The News man noticed a fash
ionable Millinery Store and steppi
in I was pleased to find that the pro
prietress was none other than Mrs.
Glover, formerly of Baker City. Her
advertisement will apjjearsoon. Af
ter attending to the advertising bus
iness I went to the shops of O. R.
N. Co., where they have about 300
men employed and I Avas informed
that on that day they had started,
and completed two cars and would
finish the third. I could see at a
glance that it was a big thing for
The Dalles, and for the whole of
"Wasco County. The people of Ore
gon are surely great debtors to the
O. S. N. Co. for the money they
have caused to be thrown in this up
per country, and particularly should
The Dalles hold it in great regard as
it has surely been the making, light
and life of that towu. I also visited
that day the Empire and Times offi
ces' and found the boys happy, busy
and licartv. Next I went to th5 of
fice of the Prinerille and Canyon
City Stage Line where I found the
gentlemanly agent, Mr. Martin Van
Buren Dunlap, neatly fixed in a de
sirable room. He informed me that
the business of the line had increas
ed considerable lately, and, also,
that Canyon City was now second in
prominence to the line, The Dalles
being first.
Tuesday Morning I took passage
on the Mountain Queen for Portland
and as we went steaming down the
Columbia memory carried me back
to my native "itate, and to the many,
many, happy hours I had spent on
the "Old Des Moines" and Mississ
ippi Rivers; and also to the fact that
the man most prominent in estab
lishing the 0. S. N. Co., was a lead
ing Captain at one time on those self
same rivers, and that his name is yet
fresh and honored by the old settlers
of my native town; it is needless to
say that I refer to Capt. Ainsworth,
' Sr. , but such were my thoughts and
they were pleasant. Breakfast was
announced and I assure you I did
! full justice to the meal.
The day was very smoky and in
consequence thereof all the beauti
ful mountain scenery was veiled so
that all on board had to be content
, with viewing the banks on either
side of the river. Soon the Cascades
were reached and all freight, bag
gage and passengers leave the boat
and board the cars and are swiftly
carried around the fierce waters of
the rough, rugged and dangerous
cascades. Arriving at the lower end
another transfer is made from the
train to the beautiful, new boat, the
"Wide ."West," a different moving
vessel from the upper boat. Her
motion was hardly perceptable, so
easily did she glide over the water.
On the Wide West I met Clarence
White, formerly of Baker City, but
now freight Clerk on the boats from
Portland to The Dalles. He had
one of Job's afflictions on his neck
that was no pleasant pet.
Dinner was in keeping with the
stvle of the boat first class. After
a few times landing we hove in sight
of Vancouver where is to be seen a
Fort and Barracks that every soldier
is glad to be stationed at. Vancouv
er is a pretty town and pleasantly
situated. After leaving the landing
hotel runners appear plentiful and
with the exception of the "Claren
don" nearly every Hotel iu Port
land is represented, and about the
only way to get rid of them is to tell
them in the start that you stop with
Al. Zeiber & Charlie Know els, or
for short at The Clarendon. After
leaving the Columbia the boat stems
the current of the Willamette for a
while and the whistle is blown for
Poatland and all passengers gather
on deck to get a sight of the Metrop
olis of Oregon. The approaching
of the boat to the dock is interest
ing indeed, here and there arc large
fine sailing vessels, among them I
noticed one under the English flag.
It was there receiving a cargo of
wheat. The Oregon was also at the
dock, awaiting her load and sailing
day; and a fine vessel she is too.
The boat beinf safelv moored at the
moorage the jjassengers are again im
portuned by "runners," but several
of us are comfortably seated in the
"Clarendon Coach" and iu a few
minutes are at the door of a popular
hotel where an excellant supper is
in waiting. After a rest of an hour
I visit the Oregonian building and
find Mr. W. D. Palmer, Publisher
of The Daily Telegram, and after a
few pleasant hours with him and it
being bed time I bid him good night
and as I Fhall have to make another
letter to complete my trip I will now
say good night till next issue. S.
