. Still tlie Go I p.
(Communicated.)
Even in this, the middle of the winter
of our discontent, made - miserable by
the . fire of September 3, our town
grows. Buldingi have gone-up in every
direction and; what is the subject of
commsn remark, the new buildings are
all handsomer and better than the ones
they supersede. There is the new M. E.
church building, for example, which is
just sow beginning to show its goodly
proportions. It is a magnificent struc
ture, and proves to be an ornament to
the city. But it ia along tbe line of
Fourth street east of the Ward & Kerns
stable where . the greatest number of
residences have been built. The first , is
a nice comfortable looking dwelling by
Mr. Blakeney. . Then almost directly
opposite is a neat and tasteful little cot
tage occupied by E. N. Chandler and
owned by Mr. Phillip Michell. 'Again
on the south side of the street Mr. Wm.
Sylvester is putting up a handsome
family residence while Mr. George Row
land is building another on the south
east corner of Fourth and Laughlin. On
the south east corner Dr. Siddell com
menced to build three dwellings on the
12th of November and they- are now
finished, and are actually the neatest
and most convenient houses ever built
in this city to rent.; Supplied as they
are with every modern convenience
what particularly took the eye of your
correspondent was a device invented by
the doctor himself for elevating stove
wood from the basement, to the kitchen
by means of a windlass. The. elevator
is enclosed in what appears to be a little
cupboard for the reception of pies and
cookies. This serves the double pur
pose of wood box and elevator, and is a
thing of beautyas well as convenience.
It is confidently ' predicted that the
house wife who is fortunate enough to
occupy one of the buildings will shower
many a blessing on the man who in
vented this device. The doctor's houses
were all rented before they were finished
and Mr. R. R. Hinton moved into cne of
them the other day. Speaking of city
improvements it is only just to mention
the handsome home of ye editor of the
Chronicle just erected on the bluff
south of Dr. Siddell's house. The
building is an ideal city home, displays
good taste on the part of the architect, is
an ornament to that part of the city and
ehows that the Chronicle editor is wil
ling to prove his faith in the future of
the city by his works. Further east
from Dr. Siddell's buildings an elegent
cottago is in course of erection by
Messrs Hostetter and Aiasworth. When
finished it will be one of the very hand
somest residences in the city. Still far
ther east are three fine comfortable
looking buildings owned and occupied
by Messrs. Stepheus John Filoon and
G. F. Beer. Again north of these on
Third street we find two really raagni
ficant and tasteful residences owned and
occupied by Mrs. Laughlin and Mr.
G. J. Farley. Both of these present
a striking appearance and command the
admiration of all who see them. They
will compare favorably with the best
buildings in much larger places, and
this will apply to many other new
buildings, all of which goes to show that
our people are not dead like tbe ashes of
our ruins, but still live, and are confi
denet that a more beautiful and more
substantial city will soon take the place
of the old. Many additional and costly
residences will go up just as soon as the
winter is over. Of these it is impossible
to give a list at this writing, but there is
no doubt that before the year 1893 ar
rives we will have a much better and
handsomer town than ever, and when
money and energy go together the wheel
must turn to the joyous whistle of the
Regulator. ' .
W. Butler & Co.
It was natural that the great fire that
laid so mueh of our fair city in ashes
last fall should produce a few changes in
the business houses of the city. Some
businesses changed hands; some await
reconstruction and reestablishment in
the spring; very few passed out of exist
ence, while a number of new firms
rightly calculating on the increased de
mand for certain lines of goods necessary
for rebuilding the burnt district have
cast their lot amongst us. One ot the
most popular additions of this class is
the firm of W. Butler & Co. The senior
member of the firm and manager is a
gentleman thoroughly familiar with the
line of business he conducts having been
for years in the employ of the Michigan
Lumber company of Vancouver. Wash
ington. The firm is located on that part
of the city known as the Laughlin Home
stead and it has obtained a- five years
lease of a square of one hundred and
fifty feet which corners on Jefferson and
Main street. After considerable patient
negotiation Mr. Butler has succeeded in
having a side track laid along the north
line of his lots where cars can be loaded
and unloaded with great convenience.
Nearly the' entire square is covered with
lumber, lath, shingles and sawed cedar
posts, while a large shed ia filled with
dry dressed lumber, embracing finishing
lumber red wood and larch wainscoting,
double "beaded fir wainscoting, yellow
fir rustic, fluted red wood casing and
dressed pickets besides a full variety of
the ordinary lines of pine and fir floor
ing and rustic? Mr. Butler ships largely
from Lautervellc Falls, Bridal Veil and
Portland and a better quality of lumber
than that handled by this firm is simply
to bo found nowhere. Besides the lines
referred to Mr. Butler keeps a smal
stock of sash and door materials, a stock
which he intends to increase just as soon
as the winter breaks and he can build a
warehouse with sufficient accomodations
to handle it. When the proposed ware
house is completed the firm will stock it
with everything usually classified under
the name of building ' material. . Mr.
Butler has full faith in the future of The
Dalles. As an evidence of this he has
built himself a handsome and comforta
ble five roomed cottage where, he and
hie small family aredomiciled and where
he seems determined to remain as a
permanent fixture. His entire good
faith, manifested in the character of his
improvements, demands that the peo
ple of this city should look upon him' in
the light of a permanent citizen and. not
as a stranger who simply pitched a tent
where he can sell a little lumber during
the rebuilding of the city. In point of
fact the city already owes a good deal to
Mr. Butler as being tbe leader in a re
duction of the price of lumber, ' mater
ially below what it was before the fire.
This distinction Mr. Butler proudly
claims and the writer is not aware that
the claim can be successfully disputed.
Since Mr. Butler's advent into . The
Dalles he has received very flattering en
couragement in the way of trade and
patronage and ' the . Chronicle will be
pleased to see this state of affairs con
tinue and increase. - - -
Wapinit ia Items.
Wapinitia, Or., Jan. 11, 1892.
Editor of the Chronicle:
As I have not seen any correspondence
from this vicinity to your paper I take
this opportunity to write you a few lines.
We are having a fine winter. So far,
there is about three inches of snow on
the ground and stock is in good condi
cion for this time of the year. The
ground is wet to a greater depth than
it has been for four years at this time of
the year and we have good prospects of
fine crops next season, but there is poor
consolation for one to raise a crop of
grain here on accounty of the bad roads
between us and the market. If Wasco
county would make ' a. good grade up
Tygh hill it would be well compensated
in taxes in a few years and befriend the
people of this vicinity a great deal.
I guess it's no use kicking as we are only
considered common hayseed?.
We need a railroad to carry our pro
duce to the coast markets but there is
not much use looking for one if we can't
as much as get a wagon road up Tygh
hill there is lots of land laving idle that
would be farmed if we had a market for
the grain. Want of wa"ter has been a
great draw back to" this part of the
country but the people are building
reservoirs and cisterns and in the near
future they wifl be able to have plenty
of water as the snowfall will .refill tlem
in winter.
We had a pleasant dance here the 8th
inst. Everything passed ofiiquietlv. J.
Trippier and B. Alexander furnished us
with excellent music. -Mr. S. E. Farris
took a prominent part." Hayseed.

Original Ideas and Dressmakers.
In my experience I have loner since
come to the conclusion that if you are
not a fashion plate, an actress or a so
ciety woman celebrated as a model on
which dressmakers show new exhibits,
you must do your own thinking when
you want something a little different
from one of a dozen turned out at the
manufactory. But in case you find
yourself under the necessity of doing
your dressmaker's head work, there is
no need of going to a first class man or
woman who sends first class bills. " You
must find a woman who fits well, who is
not so stubborn but that she will take
and execute some one else's ideas, who
will become interested in the work for
the work's sake, and who is intelligent
enough to do some suggesting herself.
But I hear my readers exclaim, "That
pearl is impossible to find."
It is perhaps difficult, but not impossi
ble. I have never found it so. When I
lived in America it was almost impossi
ble to convince mv friends that I did nnt
wear imported dresses, that I had them'
made right in town; and here in Paris I
have been faithful to my little obscure
dressmaker for the last ten years for gar
ments cloaks as well as dresses. Those
dressmakers, like good servants, can be
found. There are. a few of them left,
and I don't see why I should' not be as
clever as my neighbor, find them out and
have the benefit of their services. Paris
Letter.
. Ancient Batter in the Bo;i of Iriu.
Louisville Courier-Journal; - ' - ..
Numerous specimens of ancient butter
are to he seen -in the Irish museums;,
which were discovered during the- past
century by peasants engaged in digging
peat. Some of .' them "were-, dug from
depths of ten, fifteen and even eighteen
feet below the surface of the ground,
and considerable antiquity . must be
allotted to the finds, although no abso
lute data exists by which the average in
crease of bog soil may be calculated.
Examples of this butter weigh as much
as thirty and forty pounds and upward,
and are identified by the numerous hairs
of reddish color, as being the product of
the cow.' Tho butter is found packed in
hollowed vessels of wood, and in masses
of irregular form. The latter are usually
surrounded by a layer of moss, and at
times have an additional covering of
linen cloth. The object of thus burying
butter in pe:rt or immersing ' it in bog
water would appear to be for its preser
vation under circumstances and in dis
tricts where salt could not be procured.

La Grippe !
The tendency of this disease toward
Eneumonia is what makes it dangerous,
a Grippe requires precisely the same
treatment as a severe cold." Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is famous for its
cures . of severe colds. This Remedy
effectually counteracts the tendency of
the disease to result in pneumonia, pro
vided that yroper care be taken to avoid
exposure when recovering from the at
tack. Careful inquiry among the many
thousands who have 'used this remedy
during the epidemics of the past two
years lias failed to discover a single case
that has not recovered . or that has re
