The Dalles just now 'is at her very prettiest,' and that means that she is just a little bit more handsome than any other town 'in the Northwest. The western portion of the city, that was fortunate enough to escape our great fire, is simply a bower of shade and blossom. In the burned district many handsome residences have been -built and the thrifty young poplars are already shoot ing their heads high in the air. In a few years that part of the city will be again what it used to be as far as shade is concerned, and much improved in the character of its buildings. We have been away four years and feel again like we were home. God bless The Dalles. Should Be Retained.

The trip from here to Portland by boat is just now one of the finest on the con tinent. It is always a voyage to be re membered, but just now while the grand old Columbia is' up and surging, sweep ing everything before, it, it will repay even those who have made the trip to repeat it. The weather is just warm enough to temper the cool breeze of the river ; the air clear, so that the embat tled bluffs and beetling crags show in all their magnificence.. ..Then . there, is ever' the grand sweep of the grandest of American rivers, the resistless plunge of the massive torrent over the. obstruc tions at the Cascades, and the wild race of leaping waters through the narrows for six miles, and then again the placid bosom of the lake stream below. The banks are masses of emeralds, foliage tropical in. its luxuriance, and innumer able bloom of tree, vine and plant de lighting the eye and tinting each zephyr until it rivals the lazy breezes of rose perfumed Cathay. he tourist, who neglects to leave the cars here and com plete his or her trip to Portland by river, makes a mistake that they would regret forever could they realize what they have missed.
