The trees and vines sent from it are selected carefully and the buyer can depend on getting the fruit and variety he orders. The base ball club met last, Saturday for practice up in Pleasant View. The ground is the best in the state and the club may be if they practice enough. As it is they are ready to meet the clubs of our neighboring towns. The Underwood brothers who live across the river below White Salmon have one of the best ranches in this vi cinity and thev have it well improved too. The timber near them is as fine as can be found anywhere. When the Ladd party were coming in from the glaciers last week they ran across a big deer in the road, which was too fat and lazy to get frightened, and alter a few leaps stopped and took a good look at the invaders of his country If there is a town in the state that has better water than we have' we would like to hear from it. Our supply is brought from a splendid spring on Cap tain Coe's place and is both good and cheap, being furnished lor l.o0 per month.

He is a member of the Publishing house of Dewy ,t Co. of San Francisco. Grover, Geo, Prathers light weight canine, is the most popular dog ia the town limits. lie is too small to pull a can, or even to be visible in front of it ; consequently pursues the even tenor of his way unmolested. A small brown spot on his back at first sight makes him look like he had a special delivery stamp on, and suggests the propriety of pasting on another and making a suit of clothes for him. Mr. M. C. Evans has shipped up to date about 120 crates of berries, mostly Clark's seedlings, and he has probably sixty crates more. This is the first year he has shipped any berries, and next year he will rise'em Riley He pre sented Mr. and Mrs. Robert Rand each a box of berries Wednesday picked, each box, from one vine planted last November.

They marked off the foun dation of the building, and surveyed a line for the waterpipes which will start from an ice cold spring just below the glaciers. They instructed their foreman to have the building done, by Julv 1st. no matter what the cost might be, aud it is a safe bet the work will be done.

The boys are not practicing as hilariously as they might, and if they are not careful their scalps will float" in the wild breeze of the Columbia gorge. Youthful Ideas. A four-year-old of this place, with a laudable desire for information the other day inquired of his . father; "who was the first man?" Being answered he got in a poser by asking "who was the last man? The father was too much bewildered to answer, "Grover Cleveland," so gave it up. On another occasion the same precocious youngster found some gun wads, and in order to prevent the baby from getting them said: ''Sister baby, don't touch them thev will shoot you to h 1." E. W.
