excellent quality of the poultry he puts

Colds are more prevalent among the

The dispatches published in today's
Oreqcnian announce that England is
prepaFing to share in the prosperity
of tbs country caused by the election
zofZ Mckinley. There is little doubt
but the dispatches are true.
A number of,factories have opened
up in the east since the election.
Thus it would seem that a few who
had promised to open their mills were
not joking. There; is no agreement
however, as to how long they will keep
open.
Hereafter the D. P. & A. N. boats
will leave for Portland at A. NJ. in
stead of 7:3O. This is made possible by
the rapid transit through the locks.
They pass through in Is minutes.
whereas it formerly required rom one
to three hours to transfer.
The official canvass of the vote of
Wasco county will not be made before
sometime next Monday. Tho returns
from all the precincts except Antelope
baye been received, and when they
come in County Clerk Kelsey will pro-

The contractors at Cascade Locks
deserve credit for the elegant banquet
given their guests on the event of the
opening of the locks, and also for cap
turing the state officials together with
our able-bodied senator, when the peo-
pie of The Dalles wanted them to help
celebrate.
1t was reported at the Cascades on
the day of the opening of the locks
that Mayor Pennoyer had resigned,
but the report seems to have lacked
foundation. The ex-governor purposes
to hold on to the mayorality until he
weeds out some OF the rottenness of
Portland.
Two young men who are going to
crawl on their hands and knees across
the continent from sSan Francisco to
New York, beginning next spring, will
run the risk of being shot at for young
grizzly bears by near-sighted agricul-
turalists, lassoed by cowboys, bitten by
snakes, and of suffering from corns on
their knees. The best thing they can
do will be to crawl out of their con-
tract.
The election being over and the
locks opened, business in The Dalles
must revive, hence merchants and
other business men will be in need of
new stocks of stationery. Recognizing
this the MEs-MoUNTAINEER has
added a number of new faces to its
already large stock of job type that it
might be prepared to fill all orders
and meet the demands of the trade.
Give our new stock trial.
