Many Improvements.
; - ' : !
Some of the improvements worthy of
note, which this year has brought to
The Dalles, can be 6een on the bluff near
the head of Madison street, where sev
eral new houses have been built and
others renovated. A Chronicle re
porter happened up that way today and
noticed some items of interest. The new
cottage built ..by Mrs. Bolton is nearing
completion and wilPmake a very prelty
residence. The design is one of the most
modern,' both ? inside ahd oufsid'ej
and the materials and " workman
ship are of first-class quality. Next to
Mrs. Bolton's new residence, due of the
oldet house's, has' been "renovated0' tilf.it
has an appearance of newnee&.Uiat lain
keeping with its nefgh'bor. The greateet
improvement is that done by' Mr. "James
Snipes." Where formerly was the bed of
a lake filled1 with'-" water ini;. winter and
dry in summer, now staiids ''the ". liand
some, new home of . Mr.' Snipe's " The
house is a' modern ', two-story "one, which
can'be seen from different' parts of town
and1 which' itself commands a- magnifi
cent view.' Inside it is handsomely
finished and contains the most modern
appliances1 for - housekeeping. ' Mr,
Snipes' cellar is-blasted out'of solid rock,
a way of building cellars that is not very
common. A "commodious barn adds to
the appearance" of the property. The
streets on the side and in front of Mr.
Snipes' residence have been filled in and
leveled, while many loads of. rock and
dirt were necessary to cause the old lake
to disappear. From this site a most
beautiful view can be obtained in all di
rections.' It is such improvements as.
this of Mr. Snipes which add much to
the worth and appearance of the town.
Several other new houses were noticed
in this immediate locality, among them
being the residences of " Mr".' Mann and
Mr. Barzee, which are finished and that
of Mr. Ros e now in process of construc
tion. . .
Last night the "armory was again the
Ecene of life and merriment. The occa
sion was the regular quarterly inspection
of Co. G and the hospital corps. The
boys turned out in full force and were
given a thorough inspection' by ColoneJ
Thompson and staff, who found every
thing in good condition. , At the close of
the review discipline gave way to enjoy
ment, and the boys were invited to par
take of a "smoker" tendered them by
the regimental and company officers.
Coffee, sandwiches, corn cob pipes and
tobacco were provided in abundanca and
the members of the National Guard
showed that they knew a good thing
when they saw it. After some informal
it:es of entertainment, some cf those
present feeling the stimulus of the coffee
and sandwiches proceeded to make
speeches, which were greatly enjoyed by
the listeners. CoU" Thompson, Lieut.
Cbl.' Patterson, Major Booth and Lieut.
Riddell made neat speeches, as 'did
others ' who were present, among them
Dr. Dietrich, who spoke for the hospital
corps. ;tThe: occasion, was "a very pleas
ant pne, and the wish was., a common
one, that the entertainment last night
was but a forerunner of others to follow.

Death of Olivia Ito wlnud.
. The sad intelligence was conveyed
last night of the death of . Miss Olivia
Rowland,, daughter of Mr. . and Mrs.
George W. Rowland... For -nearly, a
month the young, lady has been suffer
ing from a complication of troubles,
which about two weeks ago took a very
serious turn. A consultation of physi
cians revealed the fact that medical aid
coutd do nothing to save the sufferer's
life, and steadily' she "grew worse, ti l
last! njjght; at "8:30" the end came. ' "Al
though death' was ' not unexpected, the
news caused a shock throughout the'
town and 'cast a gloom over the large
group of friends which Olivia Rowland
could call her own.' The event is dis
tressingly sad to those who have known
the dead girl from babyhood and seen
her grow into a noble wonian.
.' She was a few months passed 22 years
old, and was born in this city, where
the years cf her. life were spent. Her
disposition was of a kind that drew tp
her as friends those who came in con
tact with her, and there will be genuine
sorrow among the young people over
the loss of a sweet companion.
The family will have -the sincere sym
of everyone in their deep affliction;
