White Salmon Is a pretty warm
place on a hot day. There Is one
place however, whore you can be
made cool. We refor to the thirst
uonoing factory of II. K. Ilownian &
Co., where you can obtain the cup
that neither chiers nor ineoriaies,
but refreshes. After a long drive over
the country roads one of those long
cool life sa ers is a boon to mankind.
During his trip to White Saluiou
the ( i lacier mau had a heart-to-heart
talk with our correspondent, who has
been nouleotiug his duty somewtiat
latelv. Although he Is a busy man,
he assures us that he will do better in
the future and promises to keep us
informed of the di lugs in the bill
oitv. If von have anything of Inter
est In the way ot news don't keep it
to yourself. We cau tell ic to more
people than you can, tiesuns you
won't have to wear out your voice.
.Inst whisper it In the ear of our cor
respondent, 11. Fields.
While at White Salmon recently tbe
(llacior man was shaved In the print
ing olllce there a very good srave
too, by the way. This isn't the drat
time however that tho Ulaciei man
has lieeu shaved in a prntlng ofllce,
having been iu the business ost of
his ill'e he has been getting shaved
there pretty regularly not however,
w'th a razor. Somebody conies in al-

in doing it. We wouldn't be surprlsd
if Kilitoi Cinder had been shaved a
few times this way himself.
W. W. Kiiukln, a former Hood Hiv-
er resident, and who was at liingen
until the right-of-way of the railroad
took tho site on which his stable was
located. Is now in the livery business
at White Salmon. His place of liusi

Old residents of liingen, and there
are few older anyhoia in this neigh

iu their in einbranco that two sea
sous have pisitd wleu there has been
no high h iter. Vtoik on the long
level stretch of the uorth l ank rail

t rapidly. When completed this will
be one of I be best pieces of track to
be found anywhere iu the country.

only two-tenths ot one per cent.
Through ISitiKon the new road bought
4,r00 feet of right uf-way )0 tut
wide. On tliis the railroad will lav
side tracks and erect a station. With
a natural town site surrounding the
railroad it Is iueviULle that a town of
no mean prr.i nrlious will spring up
at this point, lu fact it is said by
those who know, tbat tnere Is no spot
on the line of the new road that is so
well adapted to the building of a
town. With this in view, it is very
evident why A. If. Upright, who
bought considerable of the right-of-

A trip to Portland on the Spencer on
Wednesday or last week. We left the
dock at llood Kiver at 6:110 p. in. aud
called at White Salmon to take on
passengers aud freight. As we passed
on down the Old Columbia 1 thought
what tali - she could tell if only she
bad the gift of speech ! What deeds
of bravery have been performed in
the saving of lite. Then if she oould
just speak and give up the dead, how
many mysteries would be solved, both
of murders and suicides. We called
at Collin's Hot Springs, Stevensou,
tbe Cascade Locks, a most excellent
piece of work and many wonder how
these great leviathans of tbe water are
to pass through. Two large gates at
each end of tbe leeks ares construct
ed to bold tbe water at bay while tbe
boat is lowered or hoisted. Tbe gates
are worked or moved by hydraulic
power and seem to be just as easy gu
lug to sleep in an arm chai. . We pass
ou through tbe rapids, the only place
where it seems dangerous to me, but
the oaptain of tbe boat knows tbe
course to take. We pass on and as we
look out on either side there are
mountains most majestio and grand to
look upon, and we are leminded cf
what tbe palmist said: "Tbe heavens
declare the glory ot Cod and tbe
firmament shewed His handiwork."
