as she wishes to have every bit Of china on this
table OF her own painting she will set aside all
she had not of her own work and as fast as
possible replace them with her own ideas OF
what Is prettlest for such service. Her ket-

Dresden Powered style. as will also the small
cream pitcher and sugar bowl. which will set

Sewer Gas I'm the Honse,o,d.

1t Is a well known fact that many peo-
pie, on their return to the city after
spending the summer in the country,
are soon taken down with fever. Some
of the reasons for this are known to us,
but probably there are many yet to be
discovered. An unmistakable cause is
found in many city homes which are
shut up for months, during portion of
which time they are filed with sewer
gas. Very few, indeed, have the traps
under their sinks sealed up when they
leave home, nor are they filed during
their absence. OF course the water in
them soon evaporates, and there is no
longer any obstruction against the free
passage through them of gas from the
sewer.
With this pervading house there is
certainly bad outlook for its returning
tenants. In such condition it ought
to undergo fumigation; if that remedy is
not applied then all that is left is
thorough airing of all the rooms and
everything therein, with curtains up to
admit every possible ray of sunlight.
And the longer the windows are kept
open the better. A house infected by
sewer gas is scarcely likely to be made
safe, even by thorough ventilation, un-
less it is prolonged for days and days.

North Daiies to the Front.

The sale of lots continue to increase
each day as contracts are closed out for inn
provements. In a few days active
work will begin towards erecting several
fine dwellings. Several prominent gen
tlemen of The Dalles and Portland will
erect residences at North Dalles.
Mr.. o. d. Taylor, President & General
Manager of the Interstate Investment
Co., with Mr.. S. L. Skeels will leave for
the east in few days with view of
meeting capitalists and closing out for
manufactures.
Two railroads are now headed for
North Dalles and the coming spring will
make the Real Estate market in North
Dalles lots lively.
You will never again get lots as cheap
as you can for the next few days, for the
demands and the company will advance
them soon. We would like to see every
one of our citizens make money in lots
at North Dalles.
Many letters continue to arrive from
the Sound making inquiries and in most
cases purchasing.
We confidently expect to see not less
than fifty houses underway by the be-
ginning of the new year. Mark what
we say. Lots will advance rapidly at
