]. Anderson. The contest was a lively
one, and the eloquence of the advocates
increased with the warmth of the dis
cussion. The matter is one in which a
great deal of interest seems to be taken
by the people of Dufur. At the time of
going to press the court had not rem
dered decision, though the petitioners
desire that the matter be decided today.
If the division be made, the newly
created bailiwick will probably contain
portion of Kingsley precinct.
The busiest place around town is
where the Regulator is being repaired.
The sound of hammers IS heard from
morning till evening, and no music is
more pleasing than the sounds arising
from industry. A score or more of men
are at work on the boat, and great
deal has been done towards putting the
steamer in better shape. The boiler
tubing has been taken out and is being
cleaned of scales. The mud which had
gathered in the boiler has been re-
moved, and the latter made as good as
new. A new mast Is being put in the
steamer, which Captain Waud declares
one of the best pieces of timber he has
seen. The new mast is 81 feet long and
free from blemish. The planking,
which was worn out, has been taken
mp and new ones are being put on. Con-
sidering the hard service the Regulator
has seen since she was last taken out,
her condition is very good, and when
the repairs have been made, she VIII be
among the best boats on the Columbia.
Repairs are most needed on the bow,
where the strain of making landing is felt.
A new keel will be put in at this part of the
boat and the timbers strengthened. In
order to raise the boat from off the
ways thirty-two jackscrews were needed.
James Hanahhan, an experienced ship
carpenter, has immediate charge of tho
work of repairing.

Time to Advance.

Commercial travellers who visit The
Dalles say it is the best business town of
its size in Oregon. Commercial travel
ers have a faculty, however, of saying
things to please. But it 1s true, beyond
doubt, that no city in Oregon can show
better balance sheet at the end of the
year than can The Dalles. More busi-
ness is done in the course of a year
among our banks and business houses
than in any Eastern Oregon towns. For
the purchase of wool alone 5000, 900 was
disbursed through our banks last sum-
mer, and the amount paid for wheat is
large, though not yet determined. Con-
servative, substantial, and more or less
progressive, The Dalles faces the future
confident of growth and prosperity.
But we have lusty rival in Pendle-
ton. While The Dalles was a city OF
1000 inhabitants, the jackrabbits were
skipping over the site were Pendleton
now stands. From an interior village,
where bartering trade was carried on
with Indians and struggling farmers,
Pendleton has progressed, till it has
fairly earned the title to one of the lead
ing towns of Oregon. The secret of its
growth is easy to discover. Up in PEN
dleton the people are on the outlook to
gain some advantage for their city. A

Those who made up the skating party
to Snipes' lake yesterday report a
pleasant time. The ice was firm and
smooth, and the hours passed quickly
till the arrival of the engine and caboose
from The Dalles, which went down to
bring the party lback. 1t is good that
yesterday was taken advantage OF, for
today's snow has played havoc with the

we're between Umat1lla and Portland.
The crew of the local train from Port

cept at the high bridge, where the snow
had piled up to depth of three feet.
The severity of the storm is about the
same from The Dalles to Portland. East
of here the wind is blowing hard, but
not so much snow has fallen.
The weather forecast for tomorrow is
not very balmy one. Snow and much
cooler weather is predicted. The dis.
patch received by Mr.. Brooks this morn.

securing mill and q woolen mill have
already been secured, a foundry nearly
so, and now an electric power plant is
projected. This latter concern is net
merely to furnish electric lights, but to
give power for the running of all kinds
of manufacturing. A ditch and dam
will be constructed. In the dam will be
placed 100 feet of food gates. By means
of this ditch it is intended to provide
power for the securing mills, woolen
mills, Farmers Custom Mill and other
concerns which may desire to lease
power at so much month, delivered out
of the end of an electric wire. At the
foot of the ditch power house to cost
SIC, 900 will be built. A series of wheels
will develope the power and be connect
ed with the dynamo. The entire plant
will cost $27 600, of which $4,000 will
go for machinery and wheels, and $l7,-
600 for the building of the ditch. 1t
will take six weeks time and 100 men to
put in the plant.
It can easily be seen what all this
means. Pendleton is in for becoming q
manufacturing town, ana ner success so
far is gratifying. There is a lesson in
all this for The Dalles. We must not
rely too much on our natural resources,
which are greater by far than those al
lotted to any other Eastern Oregon
town. We must be up and doing. Our
shingle should be hung out to the world
and upon it painted: "Wanted-Manu-
facturies." The declaration should go
forth that every inducement consistent
with good business policy, will be Of
fered to capitalists who will invest their
money with US. Let US not be toe
proud to learn from our neighbors; let
Us reason together and plan how best
the cities' growth can be advanced. The
time was never SO propitious as now.
