Troutdale Revives After
Disastrous Fire.
Since the last C hristm as issue nt th e
G resham Outlook T rou td ale has ex
perienced quite a grow th of business
prosperity.
On .May 15 a tire broke out which
left the main stre e t in ruins, but on
Ju n e 15, ju st one m onth a fte r the tire,
actu al work w as sta rted on reb u ild
ing the burned area and, as the new
buildings are all of concrete and in
every way superio r to those burned,
everyone feels th a t afte r all the tire
was a blessing ip disguise.
Many New B uildings E rected.
J. A. L arsso n 's new garag e com
p ares with any in point of c o n stru c
tion and appearance. It is a 50 x 100
solid concrete building with tru ss
roof, and is very com m odious for
sto rage, and m odern in every respect.
T here are rest room s for to u rists and
the building Is a g reat addition to the
town.
T he postofflce building is also of
concrete and is furnished with a tine

On S aturday, December 5. Milton

Just west of his old location and
served coffee, cake and Ice cream to
his p atro n s during the day.
T he old hrlck building owned by the
W elnhard estate, which w as badly
dam aged in th e tire, has tak en on a
new appearance. T he w hole second
story has been taken off and the build
ing rem odeled Into four sto res, the
co rn er store being already rented for
a drug store.
At the w est end of town L. V. C al
kins has an up-to-date m eat m ark et
w here he sells th e best, inspected
m eats. He delivers prom ptly and
ainiH to satisfy Ills patro n s with the
