tion in Oregon. From a business point of
view it is eecond only to Portland. No
town in Eastern Oregon approaches it in

Willamette Valley, ontMde of Portland,
put together. The business of one bank
in The Dalles laet year amounted to over
$23,000,000. And the future of the city
at the head of navigation was never I
brighter than it ib at this moment. - -I

future action. A number of farmers
and two proprietors of large saw tnillsl
are among the number of those who are
