K our reservoir icn't covered soon, or
at least surrounded liy pometbing to
keep children away, somebody's child
is going to be drowned in it. School
children have been seen on its edjie
looking into the water. It's a danger
ous place for a child.
There's a little wee girl in this com
nmnitv a little miss of eight or nine
munniers only who has the stuff in her
character that real heroes are made of.
She rides over mountain trails to school,
all alone, through a lonesome section
w here she often meets no human being
throughout the entire journey. No
mother's kiss is hers as she leaves the
home away on the mountain's crest, and
none welcomes her on her teturn at
eventide. Last winter the mother was
tiiken from the little home and the
brave little girl knows her but as a
sweet memory. The world is full of
cliild heroes whose bravery goes un
sung. We do not know what inspires
and cheers this courageous little soul
possibly the mother still, who can tell?
but we will take our hat off to Hyacinth
liedwoin, as a little heroine worthy of
resect and admiration.
If anyone really wants to know the
amount of business done at White Sal
mon let him look at the freight handled
at our dock. Its increase in a year's
time has been astonishing.
Where does all the stuff go? Who con
sumes what is handled on the dock?
Well, to begin with, White Salmon, as a
village, has grown and improved rap
idly. Instead of a single business Iioiihc
we now have a modern store laying in
an up-to-date stock, a hotel, two board
ing houses, two blacksmith shopB,a drug
store, feed store, a printing office and newt
paper, two public halls, a meat market
building and a half dozen residences re
cently completed, several repaired and
oihers in process of construction. That's
a truthful picture of White Salmon.
Give us a healthy development, a pro
gressive spirit, people of character anil
honor and deliver us from the"bootner"
and the immoral hound who first tries
to plant a "den" in nir midst.
The foundation is completed and the
lumber on the ground for the parsonage.
Mr. Mickleson of the Falls will take
charge of the construction Wednesday
of this week.
An operation has been performed on
. Aeolus Jewett.in Portland, which is re
ported as successful, and his friends
now hope for better results.
Our local post office has undergone a
remarkable change for the better. Be
ing located in the store building of C. M.
Wolfard & company, it has come in for
its share of attention in the thorough
renovation of the entire building. Mr.
Wolfard is entitled to the thanks of our
people for his enterprise and public
spirit. Our post office, with its lock
boxes and otiier features is now up to
date, strictly, and would be a credit to a
much more populous community. Lock
boxes are 30 and 40 cents a quarter, ac
cording to size.
CM. Wolfard & company's business
has grown so as to call for a modern store
with modern applianeefl,including a cash
carrier system. The floor space has
been more than doubled.
We visited Trout Lake last week. The
cheese factory is on a firm basis and is
turning out cheese that commands top
notch prices in the city. The two stores
there and the one at the Fulls, or Hu
sum, as it is now, are doing a good bus
iness. The Trout Lake school building
is a credit to the poople who taxed them
selves to build it. They bonded the
district and they have the best school
building in this county with the excep
tion of the one at Goldendale. Mr. Mil
ler, the principal, and Miss Locey, the
assistant, are teachersof experience. Mr.
Miller, as he stood in the well equipped
school room, assured us that the school
house was the product of a "progressive
community." That's just the point ex
actly. An Indian whom the angels call
"Snatappa," and who comes to break
fast when they call "Jake," tells us
that he found 12 sheep somewhere upon
the Little White Salmon and that they
are strays from some band, and had
been lelt behind, lie has them in his
possession at this place and seems anx
ious to deliver them to the owner. A
letter addressed to Jake Snatapps, care
of S. W. Condon, White Salmon, w ill
reach him and if the sheep recognize the
handwriting the mutton is yours.

choice wild plants left over, and I hast
ened to his pluce early today to secure
a supply for a friend. To my surprise
I failed to get his price, although I was
the first customer. I found him in his
mustard patch, cultivating. In our
conversation about the plants it was
mentioned the mustard was good for
tureens (not green men).
In looking over the work of the non

his demise.

So the next tiling will be to build a
larger school house and run a graded

Ropert 10. Callison, formerly from

tract near Odell. Mr. Callison's grand

neasant run, wnere he has ever since
resided. He is 85 years old and he and
his good wife have been married 03
years. 1 hey were our neighbors in the
days of my childhood. Young Callison's
father was a schoolmate of mine in a

the history of our great state, are a good

The day was perfect and the beautifully

the red apples that tempts one, as he

and a trip you will remember.
ine roaa work iione last week across
the flat beyond Tucker's bridge is worthy
oi note, and Air. Win her, who took up
the subscriptions and superintended the
work, is entitled to much credit. Onlv
a few of the many people who use the
road turned out, but the work done
there in three davs time sneaks for
itself, and is an object lesson on good
roads.
