Entitled to a ond-class once.

The receipts of The Dalles post Office
for the year ending March 81, 1896,
were the largest since the establish
ment of an Office here, being $8208.65.
For many years past this has been a
third,class Office, but the receipts for the
year just closed entitle it to be raised to
the grade of secondclass, the limit be-
ing annual receipts aggregating $1,000.
Postmaster Crossen expects that the
grade of the Office will be raised so
soon as his report is received by the
department. at Washington. Post
office receipts are always con idered
fair gauge of the business of the place
In which the Office IS situated, hence
the increase in the receipts of the Of
fee here indicate that the business of
The Dalles is enjoying very healthy
growth.

The New Flag.

The new pattern of the American
flag will not be in vogue until after
July of this year. One star has been
taken from the bottom and added to
the fifth row, and the additional star
for Utah is placed in the third row.
By this arrangement the first, third
and fifth rows each contain eight stars.
and the SECOND, fourth and sixth rows
each seven stars. The arrangement
restores the symmetry of proportion
that has been disturbed from time to
time by placing new star wherever
room could be found for it on the blue
field. 1t may be hoped that the ar
rangement will not soon be disturbed
by the addition of another silver and
sagebrush state to the Union.-Port-
land Oregonian. /.

AN IMpuRrAAr MEASURE.
Tne DaIles Commercial Club Considers
the Fossil Road Proposition.

Tne DaIles Commercial Club Considers
the Fossil Road Proposition.
TIE southern portion of Gillian
county is standing with outstretched
arms waiting for an opportunity to
avail itself of the benefits of the low
freight tariffs to be had at The Dailes.
All that is needed To put that section
in position to avail itself of this priv
lege is good wagon road leading
from The Dalles to Fossil. This fact
is realized by the citizens OF this city.
and The Dalles Commercial Club has
taken the initiative in the matter.
Friday night the club had the matter
under consideration, and number Of
business men of the city were present.,
and the sentiment was unanimous that
steps should be taken at once looking
to the opening of road between the
two points. Hon. G. M. Cartwright,
of Portland, and Senator Steiver, u
prominent merchant of Fossil, were
present, and Mr.. Steiver presented 10
The club d proposition that II The
Dalles would open a road to John Day
river and aid in constructing bridge
at or near the mouth of Thirty-Mile. |
the residents of Fossil and vicinity |
would construct road to the river |
from the east. The proposition was
favorabiy received by the club, and
Messrs. l.. E. Grove, E. o. Mccoy, w.
Lord, Fred w. Wilson and Chas. Hill
ton were appointed a committee to
take the matter in hand and ascertain
what action would be advisable in the
premises.
This is certainly matter which The
Dalles should consider seriously. The
,rade of Southern Gillian county is of
magnitude, and can be
u secured to The Dalles if facilities
or reaching. this place can be Of
cred. No better investment can
,e made oy The Dalles than money
,ut into roads leading into the interior,
or without them the trade that
aturally belongs here will go else
there.
