Some weeks sgo a subscription was
takeu up among the different citizens of
tiie town who keep roadsters, to improve
the road between the city and Chenowith
creek. A great deal of work has been
done, and the improvement is so notice
able that many favorable comments have
been made. Those who have not been
over the road lately, should take a spin
over it and note the improvements, and
the amount of work that h.s been done.
The lower road is completed while the
upper one is being placed in repair us
rapidly as possible. Those who have
had tiie work in charge ure deserving ot

Active work was commenred yester
day morning on the site of' the new wool
scouring mill, which is to he located ou
the Shearer property, immediately
north of the First National bank build

plant of this nature, being accessible to
the railroad and within two blocks of
the D. P. & A. ft, Oa's. warehouse and
dock. The properly having been
purchased ut a very low figure, u better
security is uuorueti tno stocKtioiuers.

The Cured Fruit Association ol the
Pacilic Noithwest cams into legal ex
istence yesterday. It was fully incor
porated, electors chosen, stocks sub
scribed and plans for work formulated.
Its final success now depends entirely
upon support given by the ninny small
growers. Many large prune orchurdUts
ure represented in tho organization, and
are almost a unit for co-operation.
While the Cured Fruit Association of
tho Pacific Northwest is organized, ab
solutely und completely, its present ex
istence is in a measure an experiment.
The electors md officers now chosen are
not expected to perlorm tho vast woik
of marketing tho crop, should the as
sociation he in shape for the coming
season. They aro instructed to organize
the campaign to get thegroweis into
line, and when nil tho districts are fully
lepreseuted and Cine has been spent In
deliberating over the capacity of officers,
the executive force of the association,
who ure to handle its business affaire,
will be named. Fourteen of the 15 di
rectors have been named, and these di
rectors have all power In their keeping;
but when the auuual meeting in June is
called, it Is the purpoBo to name a new
set of officers throughout, that the
fullest opportunity may be given nil
growers to have a voice.

Duller, Pollile Termlnim for
tho I'ortarrn Itoail,
Tno D.illcs has a reputation of being a
very liberal city and it has proved itself
entitled to be so reputed. The prompt
manner in which our citizens responded
to the proposed scouring mill, whic'i is
now an assured fact, has been the source
of,iriuch satisfaction to the well wishers
of the town. This does not seem to be
an opportune time for calling upon our
citizens for more money and there is no
disposition for such a movement, but
the fact remains that opportunities are
presenting themselves which, if taken
up, will mean much for the future pros
perity of our beloved city.
The building of a bridge across the
Columbia, which would enable the Paul
Mohr railroad to make its terminus
here, would in the next twenty yeais
many times repay the cost through the
increased trade brought to The Dalles.
We are informed that Mr. Mohr will
submit a proposition to our citizens
within a few days as to their share in
the proposed building of the bridge, and
when the proposal is made it would be
a piece of wiedom upon the part of the
people of this city, to give it earnest con
sideration, and if possible see that the
territory north of the Columbia, he
brought In closer relatione with this
town through meane of n bridge.
The Dalles can be a great gainer from
the Paul Mohr road if it will only do its
part ; and our people have never failed
when put to the test.
