The desire has been expressed by
many people that the Commercial Club
in arranging its new improvements will
make provision for a swimming tank.
The building they have leased is well
suited for the building of a tank, as the
excavation is already made. -Swimming
is a pleasant sport and healthful recrea
tion, but . little of it is done here, be
cause of the Columbia's waters being so
cold. It is a dangerous, as well as an
unpleasant stream in which to swim.
Shonld the club put in a natatorium it
would be the chief attraction during the
summer months.
TALKS ABOUT THE DALLES.
The Pendleton Tilbnne Gives The Dalles
Some I'retty Straight Talk. How
Does It Strike Ton?
The Dalles, has become so seriously
alarmed, the Chronicle says that ' with
out tbe $1500 state appropriation, no
meeting could be held in Wasco county.
Tbe proposition in Pendleton is quite
different. Here a number of represen
tative citizens have concluded to organ
ize a fair association, feeling confident
that such an undertaking would be of
great benefit to the community and
could be made a financial successY To
that end a stock company will be organ
zed with a capital of $25,000. This
amount'will all be paid in, grounds pur
chased, a tract built, buildings erected
and a fair held, regardless of lhe state
appropriation of $1500. This item was
not considered or thought of when the
matter was first talked up and is not
now considered ot vital importance.
However, since attention' has been
drawn to the subject by The Dalles
press, and since Umatilla county is a
part of the district, and the richeet and
most populous county in Eastern Ore-'
gon, since fendleton is the foremost city
and the geographical center of the In
land Empire, since The Dalles has had
tbe benefit of $13,500 state appropria
tion and Pendleton never a cent, the
district commissioners will, in all prob
ability, be asked to designate Pendleton
as the place of meeting of the Eastern
Oregon District Apricnltural Society in
1898. Fendleton Tribune.
1,000,000 People
IN the United States now enjoying food cooked in the MA
JESTIC affirm that the half has not. been said in its
praise. The manufacturers of this Range pledge them
selves that all parts of tbe MAJESTIC except the firebox
and the new series Nos. 201 to 212, are made of eteel and mal
leable iron, and purchasers are assured that it is as good and.
as honest as skilled labor and money- can produce. If the p'arts
now in malleable iron were (as in other so-called Bteel ranges),
made of cast iron, the price could .bp icreatly reduced ; but tbe
MAJESTIC is not made with u view to furnishing extra
parts for repairs.

GOOD WORDS FOR THE DALLES
What Is SM Abroad About Oar Thriv
ing City Some Good Advertising.
According to The Dalles papers that
city is considerably exercised over the
movement that has recently been insti
tuted in Pendleton, looking to the estab
lishment of a fair association. Fear is
expressed by the Times-Mountaineer
and the Chronicle lest Pendleton ask
that the next district fair meeting be
held here and for the $1500 appropriated
by the state each year to be offered as
premiums. And why should not Pen
dleton petition the district fair commis
sioners to do this very thing, pray? The
four.state appropriations of $1500 each
are for four district. fairs two in South
ern Oregon and two in Eastern Oregon.
No appropriation was ever intended es
pecially for The Dalles. The first East
ern Oregon district comprises the coun
ties of .Baker, Union, Malheur, Grant
and Wallowa: and tbe second Umatilla,
Gilliam, Morrow, Sherman and
Crook. A commissioner appointed by
the county court of each of these coun
ties comprise what is called the Eastern
Oregon District Agricultural Societies.
The commissioners thus appointed meet
once a year and designate the place of
meeting in each district. In the first
district fairs have been held at Baker
City, La Grande and Prairie City, but
The Dalles is the only point in the sec
ond district where a fair has ever been
held and that city has bad the benefit
of the state's annual appropriation of
$1500 for the past nine years, or $13,500
in all. . Why, then, should not Pendle
ton now ask for tbe meeting, and with
very good reason to believe she would
get it?
In speaking of the matter over which
General Agent Harder, of the Great
Northern railroad, always puts in a good
word for Tbe Dalles, and as be is a man
who travels widely and observes closely
wherever be goes, what he says has
more weight than any other means of
advertising. . All tbe statements made
in the following interview, published in
yesterday's Oregonian, are true, and are
well worth the perusal of any one with
capital looking for an investment:
I found a general feeling of returning
prosperity pervading all classes. Tbe
recent rains have done no damage of
any amount to the crops. In some
counties where much grain was yet
standing, it was thought that tbe rains
would bleach the berry; but such is not
the case. All is turning out in the best
of condition, and the yield is enormous,
in some places over fifty bushels to the
acre.
At The Dalles everything is humming,
all the merchants are busy shipping
goods in all directions by team into the
interior. Farmers and ranchers are
pouring ' into the place with wheat;
which they readily dispose of at eighty
cents a bushel. Wool shipments have
been going East for several weekB, all
the buyers having purchased their quota
and left for home. W. E. Jones.'part
ner of the firm of Hbllowell & Dona'd in
Boston, is the largest shipment, and is
still grading and baling, bis output
amounting to over 2,000,000 pounds.
He expects to finish in about ten days.
The Dalles Commission Company has
shipped a large quantity of green fruit,
which has realized good prices in the
East. Considerable cattle and sheep
traffic has been going on all summer,
but during the next two monthB ranch
ers and stockmen expect to make very
heavy fail shipments to Kansas Citv and
Chicago. Portland and tbe Sound cities
also draw their supplies of cattle and
sheep from this section. Hogs are very
scarce in Oregon and Washington
Prices, of U kinds of live stock have
advanced in sympathy with all other
commodities, and stocfcraisers leel very
comfortable over the prices tiiey now re
alize as compared with thoso of a year
ago before McKinley was elected.
Fall salmon-packing has also begun
Tbe Dalles. Mr. F. A. Seufert started his
fish wheels on the morning of thelOtb,
and in less than twenty-four hours be
had secured over thirty tons of 6ilver
side -salmon. He reports the Columbia
teeming with fish, and expects to put up
many thousand cases.
The Dalles is a smart city, being the
distributing point for a vast territory in
all directions. Its merchants are a live
and progressive lot of men, fully deter
mined to make their city an important
commercial center, and with every in
dication of success.
