Thomas Smith, proprietor of the EN-
pire Hotel, The Dalles, Oregon, shows
his business tact by liberal advertising.
We take stock in his hotel every time we
visit The Dalles, and can testify that
not only ourself, but all others who do
likewise, are rewarded for so doing by
first-elass accommodations. The trav-
cling public may safely trust a landlord
who knows enough to advertise his bus
mess.

is now upon the boards. Great credit is
due the management for the pains taken
to please the public. The Waldron
