Review.
Apropos of the band stand agitation
it has been suggested that the vacant lot
on Third street, where before the fire the
engine house used to be, would be a
good place for the band stand. The
place is central and there is considerable
open space surrounding. Most any
place will do, however, if only the stand
is built.

A good joke is told on one of The
Dalles society young men, who at pres
ent is visitingat Lower Caecades. About
10 o'clock Saturday night the camp was
startled by a lady running breathless
saying some ferocious animal was in
the bushes and that she had just escaped
with her life. All the gallant young
men hastened to be brave and the gen
tleman in question, grasping a gun,
started for the scene of the disturbance
He saw what seemed a wild panther or
something worse and leveled bis gun
ready to fire when a closer look disclosed
the fact tbat he was about to boo.t the
only milk pan in camp. His bravery
was proven however, by - his intentions
and be is more tban ever .the idol of the
ladies. .. ' ;
appenings of the same kind. The big

occurred on this road was near Shell

the battery that caused the explosion.
He also touched it off. Many people
I came from Portland to witness the scene
'e which was awful in its effect. The eig
(Val was given by a whistle from . the
steamer R. R. Thompson, upon which
were the high officials of the company.
The blast on the line of road this side of
tunnel No.' 3 opposite Lyle was an
other large one. Twenty-one tons of
powder, it is estimated, 'were put in
the drifts but it did not explode. The
discharge was not as successful as com-
templated, though a great amount of
rock was torn in two. The blasts were
always attended with danger and many
men were killed during the construction
of the road.
A joint meeting of Jackson and Col
umbia Hose companies was held Satur
day nigbt in the recorder's office. A
large number of members .from both
