ine uaiies never was a boom town
Like all other solid, towns it simply kept
pace with the country that supported it
The Dalles never took a spurt ahead and
then had to wait till the country caught
up. Now she is a little behind in the
race and the . country will watch' with
interest while we spit on our hands and
take a fresh start.
BUSINESS MEN WILL STAY WITH
THE TOWN.
The business men of the city who were
burned out during the late fire are dis
playing remarkable energy in getting
ready for business again. As fast as
houses or offices ccruld.be .procured they
have rented them, and just as soon as
their losses are adjusted, and sometimes
before, they go to work with a will to1
repair their broken fortunes. This is
only as it should be. f Business men who
have lived hero for years and have made
a name and character for themselves can
not afford to" leave arid begin life anew
amid :, other surroundings.' 'i Besides,
where will they go to do better? TEvery
other place is filled up. There are few
towns on the Pacific coast that possess so
many natural advantages as The Dalles.
It is the gateway of an empire ; it baa an
enormous trade for a town of its size and
population. This trade the fire has not
materially effected, has not : in: truth,
effected at all, except it may be tem
porarily. Who knows that the fire may
not have simply burned the moss off the
backs of some of our citizens, ani that
they may come out of the baptism with
more energy and vim and : enterprise
than they have ever shown before?
THE DALLES MUST BE IN THE
SWIM. .
That the city will be largely rebuilt as
soon as men and money can do it is be
yond question. Stores and dwellings
-are needed immediately, and as soon as
. they are erected they will be occupied.
Every indication . of the outside world
points to a time of unexampled prosper
ity in the near future for the whole na
tion. ' f The burned city must rise from
her ashes and get into the swim and
keep in . it. There will come into the
bands of the producing classes of the
United States, from this year's crop, a
thousand million dollars more than the
usual amount earned by that class. This
. means general prosperity to all classes,
and in this prosperity we of The Dalles
are bound to have more or less participa
tion. Hundreds of thousands of dollars
are now being paid out by insurance
companies to the losers of property by
the great fire, and much of this will be
spent for labor and material to repair
the ruin. This means employment for
bnndrcls of laborer. and craftsmen at
good w:iir'H fur many l;iys to come, and
plenty 'n? Vinsinrfs for the trading com
munity. The fire in Chicago, twenty
yearn w:i greater in proportionate
magnitude than that which has visited
this city : y-t it wan hut an incident in
her history. Croakers then,- :ir now,
said the city was rained, yet ehe rofe
from ber Ashes greater and more beauti
ful than K-forCi A city was needed
there. ' The geographical position de
manded it, and the same is true, though
of course in a less degree, of The Dalles,
and the men who now stand shoulder to
shoulder with ber in ber temporary ad-,
versity will reap 'their reward in .her
coming prosperity. ; .. (,,.. j
