Company, who resides in this city, and a daughter. Miss Julia M. Crooks, of St. Paul, Minn., who had been Tilth her father for several weeks before bis death. Aside from being a veteran railroader, his service with the railroads of the coun try dating from 1S52, Coloned Crooks was a veteran of the Civil War. having served as Colonel of the Sixth Minnesota Regi ment from 1S62 to 1865. Subsequently, during the Sioux Indian outbreak, he was president of the court-martial by which 100 of the insurrectionists were condemned to death. He was largely Instrumental in bringing about a revision of the findings of that body so that not more than 40 of the convicted Indians were executed. Built St. Paul & Pacific. Clonel Crooks built the first railroad .n Minnesota, being the St. Paul & Pacific, running between St. Paul to St. Anthony, the first 11 miles of this system being built under his personal direction. He began his active career In 1852 as a topo graphical engineer with the Morris. & Es sex road. . From 1853 to 1855 he was as sistant engineer for the Michigan South ern & Northern Indiana, occupying a simi lar position with, the New York biate Canal from 1853 to 1857. He served as as sistant engineer for the Minnesota & Paci fic Railroad from 1857 to 1859. From 1859 until 1897, when he came to Portland as assistant to A. L. Mohler, general manager of the O.

Louis Railroad. ' Colonel Crooks was one of the bejt posted railroad men In the country. His worth to the various Interests he served was evidenced by the great services he rendered the O. R. & N. Company, prior to its absorption by Harrlman, and to the associated Harrlman systems after the amalgamation of the .O.R & W;,,ana, the Southern- Pacific Yoads was effected, Coming to Portland 10 years ago as as sistant to General Manager Mohler, he was retained In the same capacity during three succeeding administrations of that office, until ill health a short time ago obliged him to retire from the active du ties of the orflce. Death Came Suddenly. For years a- sufferer from kidney dis-t-ase, the condition of Colonel Crooks did not become alarming until abut six weeks go, when he contracted a severe cold. Although known to be critically 111. tne tnd came unexpectedly, death overtaking the builder and director of railroad enter prises as he was reading a newspaper in bis room yesterday. Numerous telegrams from prominent railroad officials throughout the coun try, Including one from Mr. Harriman, at testing the worth of the deceased and expressing sympathy for the bereaved family were received yesterday by Gen eral Manager O'Brien. It Is a faot not generally known that one of the pioneer engines used by the Northern Pacific Company, named after Colonel Crooks, is still preserved in the carshops of the Hill system at St. Paul as a relic of the early railroad history of the country. Colonel Crooks was twice married and Is survived by his second wife and four children by his first wife and three by the second. The children are: John S. Crooks, an O. R. & N. engineer, of this city; George Crooks, now in Panama; Ramsey Crooks and Miss Julia M. Crooks, both of St. Paul; Miss Marie, Bernard and Paul Crooks, who with their mother, re aide at St. Paul. CHICAGO . MEN ORGANIZE Portlanders Who Lived in Illinois Metropolis to Form Club. Steps were taken recently to organize a Portland-Chicago Club by the follow ing ex-Chicago residents at a chance meeting on Council Crest: B. I. Dasent, G. F. Martin, W. H. Judson. C. N. Black, Lewis M. Head, Fred Johnston, and C. D. X la in . G. F. Martin was designated as tempo rary secretary. Former residents of Chi cago now established in Portland are re quested to at once mall to the temporary secretary, G. V. Martin, 409 Couch build ing, their name, present address, phone number, Chicago connection, and dura tion of residence in that city. Immedi ately following the Christmas and New Year holidays, notice will be sent to all of .the responses to attend a meeting, and as charter members formally to or ganize the proposed Portland-Chicago Club. No plans for the scope of the club have been formulated, that will be left to the wisdom of the assembled . charter mem bers: it was. however, largely the con census of opinion among the parents of the movement that the families of the organization might profitably and pleas antly participate, that a closer acquaint ance among ex-Chicago people would be mutually profitable and agreeable, and that a moving force for the civic develop ment of this city, would be Inaugurated, a minimum expense for annual dues is suggested with some provisions for peri odical, social and business meetings. Atl former Chicago men who are inter ested in the project are urged to respond as above.. The familiar Chicago figure snd motto. "I will," combined with some rose design, has been suggested for the symbol of the club. Two Class Matches Played.

The Mandolin Club, under the leadership of Robin Nelson. '09, furnished most en joyment to a large part of the audience, and their execution of their laat number, "His Honor, the Mayor," would be bard to surpass. A quartet, "Won't That Be Joyful," made a great hit with the audience, and the four must have spent some time In getting it Into the shape they gave it. "A Tragedy in Three Acts," by Mr. Van Dusen, was an odd creation, artistically presented. In which two girls were represented, one by a white and the other by a red rag, and himself the handsome knight "Ansel mo."
