The weekly Chronicle gave the
following account of some of the
citizens of Southern Wasco county.
Mrs. Wm. Shadley of Wamic
was a visitor in The Dalles Thurs
day.
A. G. Harvey of Wamic made a
business trip to this city Monday.
H. II , Harphan of Wapinitia
made a business trip to The Dalles
Monday.
Arthur Fargher and Ora Buzan
were in The Dalles Tuesday look
ing after business matters,
Elmer Hammer of Wapinitia
was a visitor In The Dalles the lat
ter part of last week.
Clarence Fargher of Flanagan
was called to The Dalles the first
of the week to look after business.
Venz Bauer and famiiy and Jit.
Hus Meyer and family were visit-
ors at Tviih Vallev Suud ;iv Sun.
ilay, attracted by the fishing.
T. A, Connolly, wife and sister
returned from The Dalles Sunday,
where they have been visiting sev
eral days.
The following paragraphs aie
exerpts from a letter addressed
to the Maupin Commercial Club
and may be of interest to our
readers:
First, every citizen will admit
we need more protection on land
and water on the Pacific coast,
as our western states are tecom-'
ing more populated each year
and our industries developing bv
the millions of dollars.
Secondly, if we contribute to
sustain a naval fleet on Ameri
can waters, we should be entitl
ed to a pro rato shore of
on the Pacific coast.
All branches of business in the
western states would derive a
financial benefit from an increas
ed fleet on our waters.
The necessary supplies for the
commissary department of a
fleet would reach out to every
branch of industry in the sur
rounding states. The farmer's
products from his farm consist"
ing of potatoes, milk, butter,
eggs, etc. ; the cheese factories;
the fruit growers; the flour
mills; the merchants of all
branches of business. Employ
ment on railroads and steam
boating would increase. Boot
and shoe business would in
crease. Tailoring establish
ments and dry goods houses
would be in greater demand. In
fact a new era of prosperity
would loom up amongst all
branches of industry from the
millions of dollars going out in
circulation from the men com
prising the enlisted crews of a
good sized fleet.
The object is certainly worthy
of consideration
