Capt. H. G. Coe has just constructed
a fine little steam launch for Hood river
local traffic, pleasure parties, etc. It is
now ready for inspection. 4
M T. Nolan, our Nasty, went over to
Tacoma last night. We presume he has
been vaccinated by this time. That's a
way they have of doing things up there.
The boys dc not find the sand beach
at the foot of Washington street very
desirable place for bathing. 1t is as
soft as mud, and as sticky as plaster.
/. The New York democracy have appar-
emily joined hands with the dealers in
queer stuff. A confidential circular to
gentleman in The Dalles gives the snap
away. ~
Mr.. 1. n. Sargent and family have re-
turned from Clatsop. They say the
beach is this year very much more act
i've than it was last, with legions of
pleasure seekers.
Jud. S. Fish caught half II dozen fine
fat grouse on the hill opposite fuckers
mill yesterday morning at O'Clock.
They ran right into his arms. In con-
sequence of the close season for game he
let them go.
DR.. o. G. Hollister, Rev. Mr.. Curtis
and Geo. Stiles, leave for the top of
Mount Hood, via Cloud Cap Inn, to-
morrow. DIR. II. will take blanket
along with which to cover the top of the
mountain and prevent the snow from
wasting away.
Miss Bartlett and Miss Williams, ladies
from New York, now at Cloud Cap Inn,
expected to visit The Dalles and go
from here to Portland by steamers
Regulator and Dalles City this week.
They have visited many places of inter
est on the continent but none suit them
SO well as Cloud Cap Inn.
Mrs. Middleton and two daughters oil
Vancouver are enjoying camp life at the
upper bridge on the north fork of Hood
river. They have about as desirable
and convenient camp as any one could
wish for, and plenty of company, as the
stages meet and exchange horses and
passengers there twice day daily

Mr.. L. D. Brown, Portland capital
ist sought his health at camp up the
north fork of Hood river, sixteen miles
above the town. He is doing fine; but
thinks as it is about time Tor another as
sessment in the consolidated city he
must go down this week and be assessed
again, after which he viii probably
again return to Wasco county, where as
sessments are not quite SO frequent.

OF Portland, reached the summit oi
Mount Hood yesterday afternoon at 4
o'clock. They. were piloted by W. A.

reached as high point, as they shouted
to Jud. S. Fish, N. J. Sinnott and Prof
Liscomb who were on the. Eliot glacier
on the east side of the summit, only
about 700 feet below them, and the
voices were distinctly heard from both
parties.
At the stage station, sixteen mile.
