Jacksonville Times. The session of
the Oregon Press Association, held at
The Dalles last week, was well attended
and proved full of interest as we'll as of
considerable benefit to the newspaperial
fraternity. The journalists were hand
somely entertained by the people of The
Dalles, who spared no pains to make
their stay enjoyable. An excursion to
Spokane was next participated in, which
also proved full of incident and quite en-
joyable. We will have more to cay of
this matter in the next issue of the
Times.
Valley Transcript The Oregon press
association have had pleasant and
profitable meeting The Dalles during
the past week. The Transcript did not
need the telegraphic reports to know
that the brethren of the press would be
royalty entertained at the neat little
city at the gateway of the Inland En-
pire. IF there is whole-souled people
it is to be found right there where their
homes overlook the laughing waters of
the mighty Columbia. The Dalles is a
great distributing center; the shipment
of wool, grain and stock from there is
enormous; in fruits and flowers the
country contiguous cannot be surpassed,
and some day when the distractions in
the great river have been overcome, The
Dalles will be the Spokane of Oregon.
The editors could not have selected a
better place of meeting, and if each one
who was in attendance does his duty
with the pen, the queen city of Eastern
Oregon will shine out in its true color.
A press of business kept this scribe from
attending.
Canyon City News. Last week when
dispatched a communication to the
News from McEwan I had in mind a
pleasant vacation, and up to the present
moment the most extravagant anticipa-
ton in the recreation line has been
realized. 1 travelled from McEwan to
Baker city on the Sumpter Valley Rail-
way, the guest of Mr.. West the superin-
tendent. BY the way, that little rail-
road beats blackboard line, and the
people of Grant county should give the
company every encouragement in their
county. Tommy McEwan would gladly
surrender his excellent stage line and
give right of way to the little iron horse,
who gets there sometime, always. If he
is small Il mean the iron horse) he has
a5whistle equal to U. S. man of war
and snorts as loud as any Union Pacific
90-ton locomotive. Mr.. West is anxious
to lay before the stockholders of his
company proposition to build the line
further into the interior, and will do
this if the people show a disposition to
encourage it. The Dalles people gave
the editors an opportunity to inspect the
government Improvements at the Cas-
cade locks, and couple of cars were
furnished US by the Union Pacific lpaid
for by The Dalles people. while the Reg
ulator was free,l in which the editors,
their wives, sisters and lady friends rode
to the falls of Cello, to obtain a view of
the extensive salmon canning establish
ment owned and operated by Mr.. I. H.
Taffe. The brother does not give away
much tafy. However, the picnic was a
pleasant one, and upon departing we
carried away many pleasant recollec-
tions, and left behind US footprints in
the sands of Cello. Col. Sinnott, whom
all pioneers know, was there, and told
more grandly mprehensible reminis-
cences than would fill Bancroft's COM
plete works.
