There is no doubt that those who
compose the excursion party will have
a royal good time at The Dalles, The
Commercial Club of that city and the
citizens generally will do everything
Iossible for the entertainment Of the
visitors. The following extract from an
article published In the Times Noun
taineer is illustrative of the feeling at
The Dalles over the excursion:
Few more important events have
ever taken place in the history Of our
little city than this visit of Astorians.
The party will number from so to 100
representative citizens Of the seaport
at the mouth Of the Columbia. 1t will
be to many of them their first acquaint-
ance with this part OF the great river
valley and It's people, soon to be more
closely united with them in a business
way than ever before. Some of them
doubtless come for the pleasure Of the
trip. but many of them are coming to
learn more of us and our region, and to
see for themselves the progress Of the
work that Is ere long to make them
and us near neighbors in a new and
more important sense. We are able to
assure them that every possible Ia
cility will be given them to Inspect the
progress Of construction on the portage
that will within 30 days give
them and their City by the Sea the
nearest practicable approach to an
open river that has ever been possi-
BILE or that will be possible within the
next twenty-five years. Our whole
population should unite in giving roy
al welcome and royal good time to the
visitors. Every man, woman and child
should constitute himself. herself and
itself a committee of one on enter
tainment to send these Astorlans home
with pleasanter recollections Of The
Dalles than they ever carried away be-
fore from any other place or region
of the Columbia river"
