| gold is washe6from some tremendous streak

Mayor Mays and Chief Judd s. Fish, Of
Dalles City FIRE department, were seen to be
conyersiLg very seriously to-day. 1t is ru-

ern engine house, one that would be ade--
quate for q city of our prospects. The
sooner this work is begun the better it will
be. Ever since the fire we haye been in
need of just such building. The upper
story could be used for city hall and coun-
Gil chambers. The most desirable place for
this structure would be on the old court
house property.
Gazette: The Dalles has been talking up
the matter of the entertainment of the Ore
gon Press Association which meets in that
city next month. The progressive people Of
that city should and doubtless will take
this opportunity to show the editors OF Ore
gon what an open river means to the Inland
Empire. The citizens of The Dalles should
remember that the pencil pushers. in many
parts of the state, are not so familiar with
the present condition of the river as those
in parts of Eastern Oregon, and this would
he an excellent opportunity to acquaint
them with the state of affairs.

through freight since high water. We were
informed by tbe cordial purser that he had
on the trip up over so tons of freight and
large number of passengers. He appeared

good business season. The crew were work.
ing nearly all night, loading and unloading
freight. The Dalles City water works re-
ceived 1000 feet of pipe. Mr.. Sherar
shipped over 300 sacks Of wool to Portland
last night. From there he intends to ship
them around Cape Horn to Boston.
Long Creek Eagle: 4 great mining sx-
citement prevails ut Spanish gulch, noted

locate claims and water rights. Others fol-
lowed, and to-day over 1000 acres are held
as placer ground. Several parties from The
Dalles and Portland are interested IN the
camp, and it is anticipated that qnite stir
will take place in that mineral belt
Gradually the people are beginning 10
90 to the mountains for rest and pleasure.
Tomorrow morning Fred w. Wilson, Gil
bert Phelps, Martin Donnel and Max p.
Vogt, start for two weeks trip in the Cas-
cade mountains. They will arrive at Md
dleton's camp in the evening, and the next
morning start for Cloud Cap Inn. After

proceed to Trout lake and Mount Adams.
Most of this party being experienced mount
ain climbers will undoubtedly make the as
cent of the mountain. Of course it is un-
necessary to state that we will be cal ed up
ON to chronicle some hair. breadth escapes.
Every summer comes the same old cry Of
forest fires, and tn year will be no excep-
tion. Fires are raging between here and
the Cascades on both sides of the river. 1t
is shame that so much Of our valuable
timber goes to waste on account OF some
ones carelessness. But in spite OF this fact
one could not help admiring the mountain
west of the city last night. 1t appeared
like beautifully illuminated city. Mr..
Vanbibber informs us that he had seven or
eight men working in his hay field. fighting
the fire. HIS loss was only "a few dollars.
whereas it might haye been hundreds OF
dollars. The speed with which the fire
travelled was exceedingly fast. Horses
grazing IN the forest were compelled to run
for open spaces.
