WOMAN'S EDITION THE DALLES TIMES-MOUNTAINEER
WINONA.
A WHISPER FROM AMOXQ THE PIXE8.
The scenery at Trout Lake, Washing
ton, as the many visitors at this pleas
ing summer resort can truthfully testify,
is wildly picturesque. The purple hills
which rise fantastically until they touch
heaven's blue, west of the lake of which
we speak, the old snow peak, Adams,
rising to the north, in all majesty,
guarding the peaceful valley at his feet.
The beautiful mountain stream wThich
goes murmuring over grey stones, mak
ing liquid music for the feathery ferns
and various members of the family of
Flora, as they peep laughingly into the
crystal clearness of the water-mirror
furnished by nature, the hills south of
the lake, covered by tall firs whose
spears point untiringly upward; the
rude log cabins which nestle cozily
among willows and evergreens, all go
toward making one of the most beauti
ful pictures which an artist heart can
thoroughly enjoy, or a poet-nature ap
preciate. A rough hewn bridge crosses
the mountain stream, and over the rail
ing, two figures lean a man and
woman ; the former is of slight build,
fair of face, with pleasant, laughing blue
eyes ; the latter is of dark, almost south
ern beauty, eyes and hair of black ; the
eyes snap viciously if their owner dis
likes anything said or done, but if all is
pleasant,-beam with the same velvety
light as that seen in the eyes of a doe.
The two are speaking in an undertone,
but the rushing little stream heard their
words, and told them to me, while I
stood listening to the response of the
birds.
The sun was sinking into a sea of
amber clouds, ere he said good night to

Jealousy makes fools of men and women,
and Winona's southern nature did not
escape the green-eyed monster.

spend the evening at Camp Minnehaha, other verge of the American continent,
It was a pleasant social custom among
those rusticating at Trout Lake, to all
spend the evening first at one camp, and
then another. This special occasion all
was at Mrs. Werter's camp. Stories
were being told as the ruddy flames of
the fire leaped and crackled from the
locating in Astoria in 1882, where he
had some distant relatives.
His first engagement in that city was
with A. V. Allen, who was then, as he
is now, one of the leading grocers of As
toria. He continued with Mr. Allen
eight years as clerk and book-keeper,
huge pine knots that the boys had brought when he left his position in 1890, to fill
from the woods. The rippling, gurgl
ing, laughing water could be easily
heard in the lull of story or conversa
tion. Miss Werter was asked to sing,
and ats she responded, a strange voice
was heard speaking to one of the boys
who had gone to a kitchen tent to pre
pare refreshments for the guests. "Do
you know where Mrs. Werter's camp
is?" asked the stranger. "This is her
camp," replied the boy, "Do you want
the orace of recorder of conveyances, to
which he had been elected, an office
jvhich had just been created at that time
by the state legislature for Clatsop

In 1892 Mr. Dunbar was re-elected
and served in that position until Jul',
1894, when he was elected county clerk
of the same county and re-elected in
1896.

led him to the camp fire. "Some one to
see you, Mrs. Werter," and as the moon
had sailed from behind the pines, the
stranger's face was plainly seen.
"Oh, it's Jack," cried Miss Werter,
and she ran to him with outstretched
hands. "Oh, Jack, I am so glad you've
come. Willie, take Jack's horse (speak
ing to her brother) and attend to him
well, and Jack come over here and I'll
introduce you to our camp friends."
"I'm so dusty, Rene, that I am not
presentable."
"Oh, well, that's 'all in the timber,'
as the boys say, we expect that," said
as a puonc omcer Mr. uunoar is
painstaking, manly, courteous and
obliging: Should he be elected secretary
of state the same disposition will prevail
in all the departments of that office. A
gentleman by birth and education,
methodical in his office accounts and
records, conscientious in his dealings,
he will be a valuable officer to the state.

The subject of this sketch, who has
been honored by the republican party
of Wasco county with the nomination
for sheriff, is an Irishman by birth, hav
ing been born in Dublin 45 years ago.
He graduated from Droheda, Latha
county, and while still a young man,
came to America, locating first in Chi
cago, where he engaged in merchandizing
for three years. For the benefit of his
wife's health he came west. Arriving
in Oregon, he was attracted to the fer
tile prairies of Wasco county, and se
cured a farm near Kingsly, which he
tilled for a number of years, also devoted
his attention .to merchandizing in the
town of Kingsly. In connection with
his farm Mr. Kelly engaged extensively
in horse raising, and imported some of
the highest grade draft horses ever
brought to the coast.
For nearly four years Mr. Kelly has
served in the capacity of deputy sheriff
of Wasco county, and his work in that
capacity stands as his recommendation
for the position he now seeks. He has
been accurate in his accounts with the
county, obliging to those whom his duty
