This is a good indication that our end of town i: growing in public favor. The wife of B. Dombrowe presented her husband with a tine little daugh ter on December 19. These people are among the settlers of the Agency Plains country, about three miles southwest of Palmain. J. W.

It is only a question of time when this part of town will be doing as large a business as any if not the largest. It- is rum ured that with opening of spring a large two story brick business block will be built not more than one block from the Journal office. Ah Biug, of the firm of X. A.

T. J. Simon, of Rutledge, joined the Y orkman lodge of this city on Fiiday evening, 19th, and it is needless to say that he met with numerous surprises, but the greatest surprise for him that eveivng was when he went home and found that his wife had presented bim with a nice little baby girl. Gross Valley Journal. Mr. Simon formerly lived in this county. Had he joined the Modern Woodmen, there is no telling what he would have got in the way of a surprise. W. G. Killingbeck was a business visitor in the city from Culver Mon day and reports the week of rabbit driving in progaess in that section of the country. The rabbits had not been killed in large numbeis, but the drives were doing much good. A big wildcat was captured Saturday and if a high fence had been built there would have been seven coyotes to the account of the drive, hut they jumped the low fence and ran off to the hills. John Templeton is wearing a large leather medal, in fact one of the largest in the state. It was a Christ mas present from admiring friendr, who justly feel proud of John's career as a rabbit hunter. Hi was also presented with a nice little gun and a dummy rabbit. These Christmas gifts arc highly appreciated by M-. Templeton. The medal is about three or four inches across and has inscribed upon it, "Champion of the World," and is nicely engraved. The pin from which it depends is also a work of art. When at the drug store don't fail to take a look at the medal. j ). J.

Mr. Harris has not given out what he will follow in the future, though wo arc informed ho will re main in Shaniko for a time at least. It is with regret that we think of the. possibility of losing Mr. Harris as one of our citizens, ai he is one oi those men of sterling worth and general popularity which gives tone and et.i ' bility to the population of any city. If Mr. and Mrs. Harris should remove fioui our city they will receive the icarty with of God speed from all our people. Shaniko Lcaher. District attorney Frank Mennfoty started east last night, his destination being Meri'iam Park, Minn , where he will settle a most important case in eonrt.

Mr, and Mrs. Menefee will make an extended wed ding trip to New York, Washington, 1). C. and other eastern cities and will return to this city In March. Dalles Chronicle, The site of Ed lturhins old planer has presented a scene of unusual e tivity duime the past week. The cause being that it has been purchased by a company of our solid citizens who are preparing to erect as fine n planing plant as there is in the stale their building will bo 00 x M), two stories high and the outfit will Consist of the latest improved machinery that can bo purchased. For the present the old engine and buiier will bo fitted up to do duty until the roads get in shape for heavy freighting in the spring, when the big engine and boiler will be brought in. A fifty horse power Corliss engine will furnish the motive power for the plant when com pleted. The oompany is composed ol Frank Elkins, F. W. Wilson, A. II. Lippman, Gianville Clifton and Ed Harbin. Mr. Harbin is now in Port land selccting.the machinery for the plant that will be put in this winter. Further announcements of this enter prise will be made later. A number ol fine displays were made by our business houses at Christ mas time, but the finest was that at the butcher shop of Foster 4 Lehman The boys had some of their finest and fattest beef, mutton and pork on ex hibition, from the mammoth Hereford cow down to a small pig that had been turned into bacon "en masse as it were. A pair of red eyes had been provided for the little fellow, and he looked as if he had been indulging in an overdose of sodcorn or some allied product of home industry. They have had on the hook a big hog that is al most, if not quite as large as the one killed last year, that has been the sub ject of much guessing during the past week, as the boys have promised turkey to the one guessing the nearest the weight. We hope before we go to press that the hog will have been weighed and the lucky guesser named. The big Hereford cow is one of the prize winners at the county fair last fall, and was bought by Foster & Leh man tor beet as she was a barren cow, and now that she has been killed we have the promise of a fine steak for which the editorial mouth waters, as panteth the Hart (or the cool waters of the upland veldt. The big pig at Koster & Leh man's that every hotly was guess ing at its weight was not as heavy as some thought. The guesses ranged from in three hundred to over seven hundred pounds. The actual weight was 456 pounds and Dr. Rosenberg gets the turkey by guessing 460. Some one entered thv house of Sam Collins a few weeks ago by prying open the window and ap propriated a rifle for his use. Last Sunday while Mr. and Mrs. Collins were at church the same party came back and entered the house In the same way. He brought the gun back, but took other articles in the place of it. This party is known to Mr. and Mrs. Collins and if the offense is repeated he will be prosecuted. Such sneak thieves are the most contemptible persous on earth and the best place for them is behind the bars. Born Wednesday morning, to the wife of Dr. J. H. Rosenberg, a son. Mother and child are doing nicely and Doc. is one of the proud est men in town. It will soon be Rosenberg & Son. MARRIED. Mr. Numa F. McCoin and Miss Kate E. Morrow, both of Crook county, were married by Justice of the Peace, Fred J. Martin at his residenco last Friday evening. The groom is one of Urook county's most popular young tockmen, and the bride is a sister of Andrew Morrow, of the firm of Mor ow & Keenan, and like her brother is o;"i!nr with all ncitiiiiuliincc The young couple left Sutuiday .oming for Portland. They st ilt upon their lifes journey ith the best wirhe ol many friends, i which the Herald most heartily j -ins. Antelope fKiald.
