DIAMOND ROLLER MILLS.
One of the largest business interests of the thriving city
of The Dalles, is that of the "Diamond Roller Mills," a fair
idea of which may be obtained by glancing at the cut ac-coinpanj-ing
this article.
Built in 1889 by its present proprietor, Mr. Alouzo H. Cur
tiss, with a daily capacity of 125 barrels, he has made a
specialty cf fancy flour for retail trade, receiving the
highest price paid any mill in Eastern Oregon or Washing
ten for his celebrated brand the "Diamond."
He also manufactures graham and whole wheat flour,
and germ meal, also self raising flour. Mr. Curtiss devotes
his time to the financial management of the mill, leaving
the process of manufacturing to the supervision of Mr. W.
II. Groat, who has been with him from the establishment
of the mill.
Mr. Groat is a miller of long standing, having served his
apprenticeship with the "Lincoln Mills," of Anoka, Minn.
He was also connected with the 'Talisade Mills" of Minne
apolis, belonging to the rilisbury-Washburn Syndicate, the
largest millers of the world.

DR. BELLE C. RINEHART.
A woman of energy and ideas is sure to be successful,
and Dr. Belle C. Rinehart is a proof of it in many ways.
She is a graduate of the Medical Department of the State
University, and has the honor of being the first "regular"
woman physician in the Inland Empire. Her liking for this
calling was gained through assisting her husband, Dr. W.
E. Rinehart, the well known surgeon, and after his death it
seemed but natural for her to take up the greatest of all
professions as her life's work.
Making a specialty of the diseases of women and chil
dren, she is kept exceedingly busy, for her practice is not
confined to the city, but extends throughout the contigu
ous country.
Her offices are pleasantly located in the Vogt block.

ST. MARY'S ACADEMY.
There is no institution of which The Dalles is more proud
than St. Mary's Academy, conducted by the Sisters of the
Holy Names of Jesus and Mary. It is to-day one of the
most complete among the educational institutions of the
Inland Empire, and its patronage is by no means confined
to The Dalles and Wasco county, but extends over the
neighboring counties, also into Washington.
A visit to this seat of learning some days ago elicited
some facts regarding the- institution and its work, which
may be of interest to those who have not been there. Sit
uated in the suburban portion of the city, on a large tract
of land owned by the Sisters, the pupils have quiet and a
sense of being at home in the very environs of this rapid
ly growing city. The Sisters are enabled to have large play
grounds for the various divisions of the students. A tour of
inspection through the building shows how orderly, neat
and well arranged are the different rooms and places of
the Academy.
Entering the institution by high steps in front, you are
really in what is the second story of the building. On the
ground floor is the kitchen, dining room and large recrea
tion room, used by the children in bad weather, or when it
is not desirable for them to play outside.
On the floor above are the parlors, office, two music
rooms, three class rooms, chapel, community room and li
brary. The studio, infirmary and dormitories are on the
upper floor. The building is heated throughout by hot wa
ter, and special attention is given to ventilation, so that at
all times there is an abundance of fresh air.
The course of studies seem as complete and comprehen
sive as thirty-four years experience in teaching, and an
efficient corps can make them, and no pains are spared to
give the pupils at St. Mary's all the advantages of a first
class education. The classes in the Academy are divided
into thirteen grades, three- primary, three intermediate,
three preparatory, three senior, and the graduating.
Besides the ordinary studies, the languages, general vo
cal music and needle work are taught throughout the
course.
Private lessons in istrumeutal music, including piano,
organ, banjo, violin, mandolin, zither and guitar, also in
pastelle, oil, metallic, mineral and water colors, and in
crayon, are given by competent instructors.
The instruction given at St. Mary's' is of the most thor
ough and practical character, as they train the heart as
well as the mind, and intend to form noble women who will
go forth in the world loving only that which is beautiful,
pure and good and fitted for whatever life may impose.
