Our chief went to Portland today on
the local, and our foreman has ordered
font of German text for his use when

Thirty-fve members of the Gesang
verin Harmonic went down on the

the exposition. That they will have a

mans are the people.
At Gaunt's stable is a sheep that is
real curiosity in this section. 1t is
South Sea Island ram, the property OF

is as fine as silk. The sheep will be
taken to company's farm at Hay Creek
and be used for breeding purposes.

audience at that place |
yesterday, and that he will speak at
Ramsay today at l o'clock. Tom is
proving one of the most attractive
drawing cards among the Mckinley
orators, according to Mr.. Warner.
Good roads are essential to any city
that expects to do business in this
country. The Dalles especially is de-
pendant on wagon traffic for its pros
perity. Four teams broke down yes
terday between this city and Floyd's.
This should not be: Wheat is coming
in, farmers are buying winter supplies,
and yet the people living on this short
road between The Dalles and Floyd's
say that it is the worst piece of road
IN the county.
