Sunday Mercury. There is good reason
TO believe that The Dalles confagration
will result in the erection of a number of
fine business blocks and many elegant Iesi-
dences. The losses, of course, are heavy,
and many homeless people, too poor now to
build or pay exorbitant rent, will suffer.
But the people of that little city are noted
Tor aggressive energy and brave persever-
ance, and they will make the most of their
present unfortunate condition. The Dalles
will be much better inland city when re-
built.

IN insult or lots of arguing and jaw. But
Nalla Walla. as usual, has done nobly.
