perfectness of the picture; something
obiectio onable to the view?

CJke Hill neglecting his Dalles friends
i and passing through the city without
stopping. He spent yesterday in the
city, leaving today for Prineville. AL

as loyal as ever, and would even leave
San Francisco to return here if business
inducements were sufficient to warrant
the change.
One of the most beautiful spots in the
city is the Academy park. 1t is now in

placed at intervals about the campus.
In time it will vie with the grounds ad-
joining in their beauty of verdure.
