The Dalles times-mountaineer. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1882-1904, 1894-06-23

and relatives in this city for some weeks.
Last Sunday was busy day with our
citizens; but tomorrow Will be observed as
the Sabbath should be. The Dalles is once
more out of the water, and another such
visitation may not be expected.
One of the hottest places in this city is
the tent occupied by The Dalles National
bank, adjoining our sanctum. The tner-
mometer registered 104 degrees there yes
terday, and it reached as high mark
today.
At the primaries held last evening M. L.
Nolan was nominated for councilman and
j. B. Cressen for water commissioner for
the first ward; and Samuel Johns for conn
Gilman and 81. c. Nielsen for water COM
missioner in the second ward
Last evening at Dufur, a team attached
to buggy in which were Mrs. L. Siusher
and Miss Annie DufuI, ran away, throwing
the occupants out. Fortunately they were
not seriously injured; but their escape from
violent death was almost miraculous.
The freight cars that have stood on the
| railroad bridge during the flood shows the
effects of high water. At one time they
were almost submerged, and now, with
| very mary of the bents under the bridge
washed cut, they have the appearance of
having been struck by cyclone.
Mr.. FitzGerald, the jauitor at the court
house, since the waters of the Columbia has
ceased to wash the door steps of the build
| ing, has began ''house-cleansng," and IN less
| than week it can be wagered that the Ell
| fects of high water cannot be discerned In
| the court house, the yard or on the side
| walk. John hes a broom that always
| sweeps clean, and lawn mower that cuts
grass as clean and smooth as a metropolitan
barber shaves,
| Today We lost one of our boon eompan-
| ions in business line. The First National
bang moved to its old quarters on Second
street this afternoon, and the smiling Coz
| tenapces of the president and cashier are
missed from our editorial gsze. Other
| environment will surround US next week
when in our former room; but the pleasant
companionship of bankers, PopulIsts,
county officials and undertakers wIll never
be forgotten.
| Front, Second and other submerged street,
i can be Travelled over today, and huslnes
| men are preparing to move back TO their old
quarters. Ihe Umablila house Is pTepHtibS
| to use it's first floor, and the building shows
not the least damage from the flood. There
| is considerable debris left on the streets,
| and they have very much the appearance OF
having been the bed of the river. Side
walks are washed away in many instance,
and awnings are in battered condition.
During the food our county treasurer,
Mr.. VIM Michel. has evinced commend
able spirit of accommodation, and has
opened his Office to bankers, editors and
even business competitors with the same
generosity. For the past two weeks the
editor of the TN. has scribbled his
''copy," cheered by the view of the plethorlc
shelves of twenty dollar pieces, rolls of
greenbacks. and at the same time notified OF
the sad end of all that is mortal bv an ar
ray of caskets around the walls. Not
wIthstandlng this gloomy aspect of affairs
he considered himself fortunate to have
dry place to publish his paper when the an
gry waves of the Columbia washed the
walls of his office to the depth of six feet.
Next Monday we shall be at the old stand;
hut the "reminiscences of the early DAYS OF
June. 1894, will always be source OF con-
stant enjoyment.
