The Fourth of July was dull day
in The Dalles. Many of the citizens
went to places where celebrations were
held, and had it not been for the small
boy and his fire crakers, one would
have concluded it was only a quiet
Sabbath.
Friday afternoon Ed. Harbin and
Yes Belknap arrived here from Prime
vile on bikes, having made the trip |

rough roads.
The competitive drill between the diff

of The two monitors now in port at

that very little noise is pro-
Guced during the conducting of the
game. The Dalles now has three ex-
cellent alleys and the devotee of bowl
ing can certainly find amusement in
this line that will satisfy his every de-
sire
