SOMETHING ABOUT BINGEN - Correspondence of the Glacier: Adjoing the Byrkett ranch (known as the Glades) on the east, between Bingen and White Salmon, is the Grange, the old Warner place, now occupied by A.J. Henderson. The Grange is in every respect a counterpiece of the Glades ranch -- green meadows, acres of strawberries, fields of alfalfa, early tomatoes, and fields of the nicest sweet corn after high water. Surrounded by these velvety green meadows, fields of delicious strawberries and other fruits, groves of oak and pine, lies the little town of Bingen. Located on level, well drained lands, just above the highest waters of the Columbia, and with its beautiful surroundings, make the location and ideal one, that it need not be ashamed of its far famed namesame on the Rhine. Bingen is also the natural outlet of the Trout Lake and Camas Prairie country. Since the road to Bingen is so much better a large part of the freight for those places goes from this place, and since the road leads through the little town on the bluff it also passes through that place. Our town has a very good hotel built this spring, it is well furnished and gives good accommodations to the traveling public or to summer borders, and the landlord, E.H. Suksdorf, is a very genial and accommodating a young man. Iams Bros. have a livery and feed stable, run a thrice weekly stage to Trout Lake and store and forward freight, doing a good business. Mr. Hadley, our merchant has also the postoffice and the long-distance telephone. On a Sunday afternoon you will see a great many White Salmon people on our streets, since the road to Bingen and the streets of the town are the only places where people can enjoy a pleasant drive.
