WHAT ABOUT YOUR PROPERTY?

lienrance of the City.

As we listen to tho exclamations of
pralso from the many visitors who, lured
by the unrivaled grandeur of the shores
of tho Columbia, halt lor n breathing
spell nt tho gates our city, ve, who nro
accustoincj to tno beautiful scenery
around us, aro led to wonder if Tho
Dalles really is more grandly situated
than the more pretentious cities around
us.
Yce, Tho Dalles is beautiful for sit
uation, and we have every reason to feel
proud as we tell the stranger of the
goodly land we have found and show
him the grandeur which surrounds him.
But has our pride reached to the small
enclosuro which wo call our own? Have
we striven to make that equally attract
ive? Are thero not many homes, yes
streets, which, in our tour of the city,
we would fain pass by? many lote, cov
ered with debris, inciosed with fences
which totter in a vain attempt to do
their duty? many tumbled down shacks
which are a disgrace? many alleys, ad
jacent to business blocks and residences,
which are filled with all sorts of trash
that should have been removed weeks
before? Have you not observed all this
as you piloted your guest through the
city, endeavoring to make a good im
pression on his mind?
The lack of individual pride seems to
be our great drawback ; pride that will
make each one see the necessity of keep
ing his own property in good order,
whether it be a vacant lot or a dwelling.
In many instances we see beautiful
homes, with finely-kept lawns and
flowers growing in every available space.
But what do we see as we look at their
next-door ne'ghbor's possessions? Per
haps a vacant lot, kept as a place to de
posit garbage; or perchance a barnyard,
and a meanly-kept one at that. More
than likely it is a rude hut, which, be
ing constructed at the time of the flood,
has been kept as a valued souvenir, or
as an ornament to the city and a sore
eye to the neighbor who is endeavoring
to beautify his home, and by eo doing,
the city.
In many cases the lack of interest in
this matter arises from the fact that eo
many occupy rented houses, and do not
care to expend energy on another's be
longings. But have they not pride
enough to care for the interior of their
abiding place? then why not the exter
ior? How much even a few well-kept
plants in the doorway would add to its
appearance. JNur is it necessary that a
home should be a mansion ; the small
est hut may be made home-like by a
few inexpensive additions by planting
a vine so that its tendrils will entwine
about tho house, covering any defect in
the architecture.
No place of its size, which has been
bo unfortunate with fire and flood, has
more pretty, attractive homes, showing
the taste of the dwellers therein, than
has The Dalles. These we are proud of.
But cannot every citizen do his part in
this matter individually, and thus make
not only the natural ecenery, but the
artificial, rival any city in the North
west? OllSEKVEn.
