on what seems to be good authority,
that Hamilton Smith, the mining ex-
pert, representing the Rothchilds,
upon whose report foreign capitalists
recently purchased third interest in
the vast Anaconda mining properties
on b sis of $50, 100000 is again on his
way to Butte to make further exami-
nation of the properties, with a view TO
making an offer of $40, ,000,O0 for the
remaining three-fourths interest. The
Anaconda officials refused to discuss
the report, but in mining circles 10 is
doubted that the properties are for
sale, or that they can be purchased for
that figure.

The Regulator Coming Round the Bend.
There's sound we love to hear,
As it falls upon the ear,
Tis pleasing one to all you may depend;
Tis the whistle of our oat-
The Smartest craft afloat,
Tis tie Regulator coming round the bend.
So we all turn o to meet,
And with h arty welcomes greet,
The boat that to us all has proved friend;
For she's kept the freight rates down,
And saved our bonnie town,
Has the Regulator coming round the bend.
They took away the shops,
The strongest of our props,
And twas said that from the blow we ne'er
could mend,
But we a. II wheeled into line,
And built steamer fine.
Tis the Regulator coming round the bend.
She has saved our town you see,
And we make it now our plea,
To ask you all helping hand to lend,
So ship your wheat and wool,
And give hearty pull,
To the Regulator coming rouud the bend.

W, HEAVE. HOTTIE DALLES

And now that the party nominations
are made and before the political fight
fairly warns up there comes a period
of comparative quiet. giving chance
for the surplus energies of our people
to strike out into new fields for awhile.
so how would it do to make more pulls
for the Gate City of the Columbia river,
The Dalles.
Good roads, grades and bridges are
now in process of construction. but we
need more of them. and better: a tele-
phone line tt Dnfnr but emphasizes
the need of the line to Goldendale now
projected, and when this is finished, as
it will be shortly, or we mistake the
present temper of our people, this
last will but show the necessity for
net work of electric inter-communica-
tion between this city and all of the
smaller towns within a radius of two
hundred miles, east of the Cascade
mountains.
By next spring there will be at least
one wholesale house in each of the
leading lines, established here. Sew
eral of of our progressive merchants
are already feeling TIE way in this
direction and unless they would see
the field occupied by more progressive
newcomers, others must follow suit
very soon. The nucleus of wholesale
stocks are now taking form in our
warehouses, that only lack the sign
over the door to approach full develop
men5. There is an electric snap of
business in the air. many of our stay
at-homes do not realize it, but it is
readily appreciated and talked about
by people who have. travelled lately
over the northwest, outsiders, as well
as our own people: and it is an electric
snap too very different from that of
the stored up volts and emms saved from
the unlit city lamps these dark nights,
to help the moon slime, no doubt,
when it next gets full. this is, however
the one exception to the rule of pro-
gress.
There is lot of sunlight in Eastern
Oregon for The Dalles to grow by and
it is doing it, and don't you forget 1t.
1t began to grow with this new life when
our people busted the ashes of their
homes from the only coat they had
saved from the big fire of '9l, rolled
up thnir sleeves and began the build
ing of the Regulator line of steamers.
The shops were gone! Oh, yes! some
time before, and now our homes had
gone too, by another route: but that
subtle elecric electric snap was left
Yes and the croakers were left, and
now with a good pull altogether, and
\ little oil we are going to leave some
Of our more pretentious sister towns

energy born in '9l seemed slow of

wherefore all the defects of the older
ships, as developed by that struggle,
have been remedied in the Oregon.
In that war it is said more lives were
lost due to slivers set flying by shot
and shell from the inside woodwork,
than by the wicked projectiles them
selves. In the Oregon the use of
wood for the inside finishing has been
replaced by metal. All the partitions
are of sheet stell. covered with cork.

the metal. The date of tn trial trip
