Mark Twain's first experience as a
writer was as local reporter on a Reno,
Nevada, paper. The only- item he
caught tbe first day. was regarding a
load of hay which was brought into
town. He wrote of the future of Reno
as a hay mart and of Neyada as a hay
producing state, filling two columns,
and tbe next day received his dis
charge from the paper. We feel like
undertaking tbe same proceeding but
there hasn't been even a gol-darned
load of hay come into The Dalles this
week.

Howeyer, Old Dad Butts is unable
to stop the rush of business and con.
sequently will have to sweat it out
during the heated season. This asser
tion may seem strange and startling,
and the reason of it more strange, but
a little explanation will clearly prove
that this is no . Chinaman's dream.
Butts has so many real estate snaps
that it keeps him busy answering
questions, showing property, taking
in money for sales and making new
lists, and on account thereof for the
last few days has been absent in the
columns of the press, but today, to
show you that he is all right, he will
give you a couple of pointers in real
estate as follows: 1000 acres of land
on 15 mile creek, all fenced; good
house and 2 barns; 350 acres of fine
meadow land all under irrigation; 200
acres of grain land, plenty of wood, all
fpr the small sum of $5500. He also
has a snap in town property which
reads like this; one acre of ground all
fenced: good four room house; good
well of water, within . less than two
blocks of the free school in the eastern
part of town, all for t550. Plenty of
others just like this. Don't ask Butts
any questions unless' you mean busi
ness, for you thereby deprive others
who desire his attention, of his valu
able time. Don't everybody speak at
once, but come one at a time and Butts
will find time to treat you right.

A Uood Suggestion.
En.TlMIS-MonHTAINKIB:
You will do much good for suffering
humanity by calling the attention of
the board of directors of the Dalles
Commercial ana Athletic Club to tbe
fact that we have one of the finest
rivers in the world for bathing pur
poses and we make scarcely any use of
it. The club could at very little cost
build a floating boathouse and anchor
It at the foot of Washington street or
a little east thereof. At this point the
riv r is shallow for a distance of some
200 feet from the shore. There is a
fine beach sndcan be no danger unless
one foolishly ventures out too far in
the current. Tbe bath house could be
utilized at certain hours by gentlemen
and a time set apart for ladies, or why
not both together as is usual at the
seaside? Club Member.
