PAGE TWO THE DALLES DAILY CHRONICLE, FRIDAY, APRIL 1, 1921. LOOKING BACKWARD (From The Chronicle, April 1, 1896.) The work of excavating for A. M. Williams & company's new building was suspended today, owing to the old Jncobscn building not ycj remov ed. Some blasting will have to bo done, and while the old building re mains it cannot be done.

These are Mr. Carl Wagner, formerly of Chllburg's restaurant, Tacoma, and Albert Bergen, of the New Westmin ster, Los Angeles. The weather of the last few days has not been cold enough to destroy the fruit buds, and unless something unusual in that lino happens, there will be a tremendous output of fruit In Wasco county. Mr. P. J. Stadelman says there will bo a profitable demand for good fruit the coming season, and Mr. Schanno, speaking upon the sub ject, says that Alaska will from this on furnish u constantly growing mnr- Jtet for fruit, especially winter apples'. . Mr. W. G. Kerns returned from the Wapinltia country today, and con firms all previous reports as to the celerity of work on the McCoy ditch. A feeling of security is now apparent among all, caused from seeing a large force of men dally pushing the work. Mr. Ehrichsen, the contractor, Isot firm in his prediction that the work will bo finished In 90 days, and the work as progressing now certainly warrants the belief. This ditch when completed, will open a largo and val uable stretch of country to agriculture and horticulture, which will quadruple In vAlue when under water. Mr. Kerns also reports there Is shortly to be erected noar Wapinltia a sawmill of 20,000 daily capacity. It Is to be erected on the Mac D. Lewis place. Mrs. J. P.
