Because we have made some phe nomenal purchases, after looking almost everywhere, and have now gathered together a greater stock of GIFT GOODS than any other store. These rumors have tended to boost Christmas buying so much that we have already sold more than we did last year when within four days of Christmas. Our store is still well stocked, but we ask you not to delay your Gift buying a nother day if you would have the best possible choice.

That ulght It commenced to snow, and was about twelve Inches deep by morning, and a bitter east wind howling down the river. Pay and I soon left the miners U-hlnd and broke the trill the entire distance to the middle cascades, which we reached In good season, w here we were cor dially welcoiud by John liarzee, the genial manager of the portage road then operated on the south, or Ore gon side of the river. Snow fell all night and was over two feet deep by morning. A few miles above the cascades we met Captains E. W, ISaughman aud E. F. Coo and En gineer John Ulrty, of the upper Co lumbia river, but now of The Ialles, and bound tor Portland, then, as now, the Mecca of the northwest. We had some hard falls plcklug our way around Shell Itttt-k Mountain, then noted far and near as the worst place on the route. We reached Mitchells I'olnt that night completely done up.

None of our cattle died for want of food, though we lost several of our best cows from feeding on pine leaves. The Ice In the Colum bia froze to a great depth. At the foot of the rapids at Cascade. Cap tain .John McNulty of the steamer Idaho, told me that It piled up fully eighty feet high, and at The Dalles I saw a sixteen-foot poll ruu down a crack Its full length without touch ing water. On the I'M of March we cut a trail through the snow and Ice across Hood river and drove our cattle to the bare hills west of Mosier where an abundance of buiu'h grass remained, and our troubles were practically over tor the winter." made this their home the greater part of their lives and have a large circle of friends who join In wishing them a long and happy married life.
