The Diamond mill is grinding steadily,
and turning out the very best quality of
Sour. Their purchasing agent had the
pick of the best crop of wheat ever raised
in this country, and this with the fine
machinery of the mill makes a flour that

wheat is on hand we could not learn, but
the steady stream that went into its

Some of our enterprising boys have
been supplying the market with carp,
and just where they caught them was a
mystery to every body, excepting of
course themselves. It was recently dis
covered that a pond on the Snipes place
below town was the source of supply,
but the discovery was not told until the
pond was about fished out. A few big
fellows are left, and Mr. Snipes will be
the happy possessor of a good fish pond.
John Russell, of North Yakima, rep
orts the locating of an immense body of
coal land, fifteen miles in extent, in a
newly-discovered pass south.of the Nat
cheez. Mr. Russell says that his pros
pecting partner is well versed iu every
thing pertaining to coal, and that he
pronounces the find a superior character
of coking coal. As to the new pass Mr.
Russell claims that it can be reached by
economic grades, and that by this route
the distance to tide water is reduced
twentv-five miles. The descent on the
west side is made via the Clearwater
to the Cowlitz.
The trade of The Dalles would-be in.
creased, and its business certainly made
much -more rapid and convenient if we
had telegraphic communication with
Prinaville and the localities on the road
to that point. Prineville, wo bolievo,
would subscribe liberally towards build
ing the line, and that it would be self-
sustaining is tolerably certain. ' It may
bo a little too early to agitata this ques
tion, but it is only a matter of- a short
time until the business of the rapidly
settling country south of as will demand
telegraphic sorrioo.

The oil painting of The Dalles and

now on exhibition at Crandall & Bur
gott's and attracts nanch attention. It
will remain hero bat a few days longer
when it will bo sent to Portland, and

Boo it , as it is really a masterpiece of art,
It gives a magnificent view of Tho Dalles
as seen from the hills east of it, shewing
tho big revel basin around ns, the mag
nificent stretch of tho Columbia down
which one can apparently see for miles,
the stately forms of Mts. Hood and
Adams, and the hazy ridges that lose
themselves in the distance.
The contrast and coloring of the paint
ing' are wonderful, and every pencil
stroke shows the hand of a master in
creating on canvas the similitude of
nature. It shows talent of a high order,
and those who paint will especially
understand the difficulty of showing so
large an area, with such a city as ours
accurately copied. We congratulate Mr,
Taylor on securing so beautiful a piece of
work, and he was irideed fortunate in

PURPOSES.
It would be difficult to find a better
illustration of the courage-determination
business foresight and rapidity of execu
tion so characteristic of the people of
this great northwest, than is found in the
life and progress at North Dalles. The
entire work is only in its infancy, hardly
commenced, short as the time is, how
ever, enough has been done or put under
way to convince tne most skeptical that
the founders of this enterprise are in
earnest and will establish here this com
ing year a prosperons city. It is only in
the days of modern enterprises when
men can oe iouna wno are prompt in
the execution of large undertakings that
towns and cities are built up, and people
awake to the idea that capital has stepped
in and carried out that which nature in
tended so many of these towns to be.

has perhaps no superior on the Columbia
river or in the northwest as a shipping

There is tributary to it not less than
9000 square miles of valuable farming
janu which win not remain longer witn
out railway connections. And while it
may be admitted that the water ways do
not do away with the necessity for rail
roads to the full and complete develop

rivers fully proves that neither doea the
building of railroads do away with the
use of water ways nor render them a less
mighty factor in its general growth and
prosperity, iint tne two go hand in
nana providing a means by which the
traffic of these inland empires may be
cheaply handled.
JNature has done her work to perfec
tion, nothing is needed to fill out the
picture, but the skill and thrift of an
industrious and intelligent community to
ma ice tins portion ot our state an assured
success. Tha fact that the U. &. govern
ment is awake to the importance of
opening up the Colombia river for navi
gation by large appropriations, would
teem to indicate the tact that they expect .
these thousands of acres of uncultivated
lands which line the banke of the Colum
bia river far hundreds of miles to become
settled by thrifty farmers.
it you will study the work laid out
bv the government you- will poon be con
viaeed that North Dalles will secure all
the trade from the country north for a
distance of 126 miles and taking in some
ef the finest agricultural land in that
state. .
Over seven millioa "nounds of wool are
shipped from The Dalles vearlv. There
can- be no legitimate reason advanced
why woolen mills would not be an
assured success. Next then to the Boot
4c Shoe factory, soon to be opened, our
people must not be surprised if this new
limmcrT la iiol ituuiu iu uie one at
Nerth Dalles and put on a solid financial
fonadafcioii immediately.
It is bow an assured fact that one of
the largest tanneries west of the Miss
issippi river will be put up by eastern
capital, this enterprise alone would em
ploy a large force of men. The next
thirty days will make business very
lively at JVortn Dance. During tne last
week something like 110 lots were sold or
engaged, many of them for business and
building purposes and those by men who
have a keen eye to the immediate pros
pects for advancement. The fact that a
trade was consumated last week across
the river for over $58,000 adds one more
link in its future.
When we say that North Dalles will be
a busy center of trade and that it will
continue to grow rapidly, we feel confi
dent that we are not overstepping the
bounds of probable reason.' Towns are
Duiit up nowadays as it Dy magic, ana
we hardly know where the capital came
from, sufficient - that it is always ready
when opportunities exist. Talking
lately at Spokane Falls with a gentleman
who lived some miles north of the city
and who had not visited the Falls for the
last three years, he said to me, "I can
not understand this city. I see before
me blocks presenting a solid front seven
stories high. I cannot see who is to
occupy them, where the business is to
come trout, surely capital must be wild.
These lots that are now worth $50,000 I
could have had my choice of at 300 only
four years ago." I said to my friend,
why "did you not buy? Did you not
know that the water power of bpokane
Falls would build up a city? Did you
not know that there was millions" of
acres of land tributary to it? Could you
uot take tne map ot this country and
trace out canyons and passes which
would compel railroads to center there?
"No," he said "I was not a believer in
the future of this country. I lacked
confidence. I was what is now called a
"mossback," the worst enemy this
country now has, but if I ever have
another opportunity I certainly will im
prove it."
I said to him, your opportunities have
gone, so far as Spokane is concerned, you
must look for new towns where the same
conditions exist.
Some of the largest cities in this
country are" great inland empires and
that one, if not two, will be established
on the Columbia river is now an absolute
certainty. Then if you would secure a
home in this new El Dorado, one in
which vou will : be srlad to spend your
future years, see to it, that before the
setting of another sun you have laid
the foundation stone.
