The Dalles, Nov. ' 7. Tije old-time
buckskin-clothed frontiersman has given
up the fight and acknowledge! that hla
,'sons Is narrowing and bis habits chang
ing. He still exists In some places
" along the upper Columbia, river, though
'the rough edges have been worn from
' his disposition and his makeup by the
modern civilization that is closing in
around him. Perhaps the undefined
thing which we can not understand
' about this character is the secret of
his great success combined with that
, of his total .failure. Ills aimless wan
derings through The Dalles country
i neither made a past nor assured a fu
ture for this new empire. He was no
- broader than- the lone Indian trail and
ppelled no progress whatever. This
. was his farm, and he reaped his harvest
of fur where no man sowed or tilled.
., - , acisslonarlM of 1838.
"Whin ; the Methodist missionaries
came to The Dalles in 1888, they
, planted the seed of a Christian clvillia
' tion.-and today eight churches are or-
ranked la this thrifty city. Five grad
ed sohools, - with 22 competent teachers,
tell the same story. From an lndus-
: trial standpoint the rlty has much to
be proud of; it is fljkt of all a fruit
renter. Last year tJfFrs were shipped
-from The Dalles to TO different states
. -42,000 boxes of prunes and plums by
-express, and - 84 -carloads of" fruit by
freight , These shipments brought in
1125,000 to the growers, and not over
6 per cent of limit lands are now under
cultivation. " The salmon cannery
. shipped 1.200,000 cans of salmon last
year. There were 4,000 cases of Royal
.-Ann cherries sent out.
The city also has two flour mills that
- Lrn out barrels of flour per day.
The Bcourln mills handle annually a.-

on an average 200 pounds of cherries
er year. The average price paia at
he canneries Is S cents a pound.
Talnable Water Power.
- The Dalles is one of the richest cities
in the state in regard to water power.
All their manufacturing ' plants are
driven by electricity, and they still
have much power to spare. For more
than half a century this has been a
frominent meeting point for different
ribes of Indians located on reserva
tions many miles to the north and
south. Each fall they come to the Co
lumbia river to secure their supply1 of
fish for winter, also to visit and trade
with each other and with the whites.
At' present they are seen in large num
bers on the streets at The Dalles.
The present progress and prosperity
of The Dalles is due ln- large part to
an organisation known as the Business
Men's association, of which J. M. Pat
terson is both secretary and general
manage.
