CORRESPONDENCE.
WHITE SALMON.

White Salmon dock-the Bailey Gatz
ert, Charles r. Spencer, Sadie B and
Dalles City.
Allie Henderson and family will
spend part OF the summer at Trout
Lake. Fred Moore and wife will take
charge of the Henderson place In theil
absence.
The Trout Lake stages have grown
in size till they remind one of the "Tal.
ly-ho" so popular at California sum-
mer resorts. They're always full.
"A. H. Bowman met with painful
accident few days ago. A horse
turned turtle with him, pinning him
to the ground and inflicting some bad
bruises.
Lumber is being placed on the ground
for our new hotel-the "Washington. :"
Mr.. Lauterbach has secured s. G. Zeig.
Ter to superintend the construction
The site is all exceptionally fine one, In
a grove Of grand old oaks, west eff the
county road and south Of the school
property.
There has been some cannery talk
among fruit men. Talk won't build
it, but 1t will come by and by.
Williams, the we'll known merchant
at the Falls, died very suddenly Friday
night. He had leen to White Salmon
on busiaess during the day before and
IN his usual health. Returning home
he was In his store conversing with
friends during the evening. Later he
retired, apparently feeling well as
usual. IN the morning his wife found
that, without struggle, he had passed
from the repose Of sleep TO the repose
of death. The funeral services were
held under the auspices of the Lodge
OF Odd Fellows Of which fraternity he
was member. His family have the
sympathy Of the community.
There have been whisperings going
the rounds that somehow, somewhere,
at sometime saloon Is to be opened
in our little community. Now let's be
frank. 1t may come, but 1t won't come
except after fight that will be a part
OF local history, 1t will be opposed to
the last ditch. These words are not
penned by a prOhibitionist. We be-
lieve in the right Of every man to eat
and drink whatever he may select for
himself. No just law can ever invade
his home and force moral ideas down
his throat, On the other hand, no
just law can ever authorize lazy loaf
er who is afraid Of work, to come into
a quiet, peaceful and orderly little
community Of homes, where children
are taught the dignity of work, to go
into "the business" of running den
Of vice to pollute our boys and steal
from women and children the wages
OF honest labor. White Salmon wants
no place where our wives and daugh.
tiers cannot pass safe from insult. If
any one thinks of starting "den" In
White Salmon, count on an opposition
that will have its base at our firesides.
To conquer the flresides of commun-
ity where none are ashamed to labor
is his job. It's big one and ifhe wins
we will support him in idleness while
he deals ruin to us.
A very pleasant social was held at
"ye village church" Friday evening.
Strawberry shOrtcake was the center
of attraction. A short musical and
literary program was rendered. Mrs.
James Greaves, recently arrived vio-
linist from Oakland, California, who
has come with her husband TO make
White Salmon her home, gave two
numbers. Rev. Garrison added sub
stantial selection In the dramatic line
and Mrs. Condor sang some popular
old ballads. Everything was free and
a good time had.
Improvements follow thick and fast
At White Salmon. 1t begins TO look
like town.
Most of the berry growers are taking
. rest. Byrkett & Egan have been
filling special orders for limited
To be strawberry grower or not to
be, that Is the question; whether It's |
nObler In the mind to suffer the stings
Of outrageous fortune and hoe for an
other crop, or denounce the commission
houses, renounce the wicked world aud
plant potatoes for the local trade? 'Tis
his doth give us pains.
The glorious Fourth will be duly
at the Falls.
Have you been to the dock lately?
A visit there will prove to you the
growing trade of White Salmon.

White Salmon has arrived. Also a

Albert Hancock, who peeled off his

White Salmon needs q shoe-shop, a
;annery, more water supply, more
people OF the kind who are willing 10
perspire, better roads and more fruit |
rees.
Winter has sat In the lap of spring In |
his vicinity until people are beginning |
