In addition to which we might note a large number of private residences, shops and other buildings in various parts of town, among them the elegant new residence of T.W. MILLER, on Third street, a description of which was given in the MOUNTAINEER a short time ago. These buildings are, without exception, in style and general appearance, a credit to our city, and to the enterprising spirit and good taste of the men who have expended so much money and effort in restoring the heavy losses occasioned by a terrible conflagration. To say that the disastrous effects of the fire have been wholly recovered from in the rebuilding of these streets, would be going too far. Of necessity those who have undertaken this work have had to shoulder heavy responsibilities in doing so, which must be borne for some time to come, but the indomitable spirit which has carried them forward to present results is abundant assurance of their final success and prosperity. The efforts of these men to build up the general interests of The Dalles is appreciated by all, and in their business they merit and should receive the hearty support and generous patronage of our citizens.
