An advertisement in this issue invites
bide for bonds in the sum of $20,000.
The bonds are issued by The Dalles
school district, which has property as
sessed at $1,200,000. The bonds may be
redeemed in ten and must be redeemed
in twenty years. The Dalles is one of
the most thrifty and prosperous towns
in the state, and her bonds should prove
gilt-edged. The district already has two
fine brick schoolhouses and three
frame ones, and the money received
from the bonds is to be used in erecting
another handsome brick, This fact
alone ia the strongest possible proof that
the investment ia a good one, for it
shows that the district is steadily grow
ing. Two years ago the academy building
was purchased on account of the rooms
all being crowded, and it was thought
then this would serve for five or six
years at least. Instead of that it was
long since filled, and again the rooms
are crowded. It is thought the proposed
building will meet all demands for eight

show n growth proportionate to tho past
two, in less than live years still another
building will be required. By that time,
however, the taxable property will have
doubled.

Chas. McKenzie was around this week
with a paper taking subscriptions for
the road from Fossil to The Dalles. Up
wards of $300 was subscribed and work
has been commenced. The Butte Creek
Land, Live Stock and Lumber Company
has subscribed 15,000 feet of lumber for
bridges, and the owners of the ranch
where tho road runs into the John Day
have placed an order with that company
for lumber for a ferry boat, which will
do duty until a bridge can be built.
It is the intention to have the road in
good condition to the county lino ere
wool hauling commences, and whether
or not The Dallas will uetGilliam county
wool this year depends on the people of
that town, who must complete the road
on the other side of the river (a small
job compared to the work on this side)
in order to get the wool, as well as con
siderable wheat and stock shipments.
Last year a great deal of wool was
hauled from this section to The Dalles,
by way of Leonard's bridge, a much
longer route than over the road now be
ing made, but the bridge went down,
and freighting can't bo done that way
this year. And we would remind The
Dalles that every wool team that went
there last year from this section brought
back a load of goods, not one returning
empty. Fossil Journal.
It is undoubtedly time that the city
that wants trade must reach out for It,
must be wide awake to grasp every op
portunity offered to extend her trade,
must count costs, only in comparison
with results. The southern portion of
Gilliam county wants to trade here, and
wants to bad enough to expend money
in building roada to get here. Wo must
meet them half way,

The beet sugar factory at La Grande

Messrs. Spaulding and Calhoun of
i New Haven, Conn., who are the owners
of a tract of real estate north of town,

I with a cash subscription of $500, the
same having been received by tho Com

which arrived yesterday evening. This

cannot bo said that the donors are not
doing their full share toward the success
of the enterprise.
The exact status of the subsidy at this
time may vs put down as follows : Sub
scriptions of land aggregating 2,200 acres
and cash subscriptions of about $7,000.
This ia something in excess of 75 per
cent of the required amount, These
facts are published for the purpose ot
ehowing that the work is progressing
favorably, and that it is within the range
of posslbilitieH to secure the entire
amount within a short time,
