A photograph of The Dalles in 1858,
which we received to- -day,is a fair represen-
tation of the CITY 1t that date, with the
buildings, etc. To view the picture and
the buildings of the present day it is COM
parison between embryonic existence and
perfect development.
The Klickitat county teachers held their

A very large deposit of kaolin has been
found in the near vicinity Of The Dalles, on
the Oregon side of the Columbia. This
alkaline earth when heated with pure sand
and potash or soda, forms common glass.
As sand, of the purest quality is abundant
in this vicinity, and the constituent alkaline
earths are also found in abundance, there Is
no reason. with the amount of capital lying
dormant in The. Dalles, that glass factory
should not be inaugurated Immediately.
Fossil Journal. Dave Pyethill, the Iudlan,
was in town Monday with piece Of pure
galena. with the exception of small piece
of silver quartz embedded therein. He
wonld not tell where he found 1t, piece of

erfully anxious to possess. Uncle Tom
Watson, a miner of many years experience,
says the ledge from which the nugget came
ensures q fortune to the finder. The Iu-
dIans are canped at the mouth of Salmon
Fork, on Thirty mile.

their stock, which they proposed tC drive to |
eastern markets. A hard winter overlook |
them in an isolated place. and they lost |
everything but their own lives. This is |
