Tirrel, of Huntington, a former well known citizen of The Dalles, is in the eity on his way to visit Mf. and Mrs. J. H.Jsherar at the bridge. ' The sale of the property of the North Dalles shoe factory which was-advertised to take place today and tomorrow has, we understand been indefinitely postponed. Julius 'Wiley', of "Hungry Harbor," was in town today. Julius says when Sain Thurman'a peanuts are ripe they intend to change the name to Peanut Harbor, that is, mind you, when Sam's peanuts are ripe, not before. ' ' J. K. McCormick has obtained nearly $400 in subscriptions toward the ex penses of procuring artificial rain iu the month of May next. The remainder of the subscriptions required will be obtained without much difficulty. A fine time is assured at the social at the Y. M. C. A. hall tomerrow at 7 :30 p. iu. Impromptu . addresses on "Modern Inventions" will be inter eperced with music for one hour, after which an hour will be spent in amuse ments. All are invited to participate. Jim Harper called at this office this morning to say that the big 16-inch foot mark seen on the sidewalks was not made by George Runyan. George wears wears boots and Jim says his foot only measures fifteen inches and a half. That sett les it.- It must be somebody else. The marks of a bare human foot about 1G inches long seen everywhere on the sidewalks of the city this morning, all leading iu one direction namely to John Booth's store, have given rise to a good deal of inquiry. It is supposed the owner of the foot has grown to the proportion of a giant through eating John Booth's Quaker oats. Dr. Logan returned home last night about 9 o'clock from his trip to Tygh to visit Mrs. W. D. Moody whom he left quite comfortable with the hope of a 'speedy convalescence. The doctor had a hard time getting home as the night was intensely dark. Six times the team left the road and twice the doctor had to get out and feel for the wagon track with his hands and feet. 1 . ' . The Portland paper3 show that B. F. Durphy and M. E. Durphy, - ik un known in this city in connection with The Dalles shoe factory, have got into trouble down there over some shady transaction on account of which they are sued for the recovery of the value of certain" promissory notes given them t without consideration. One of the charges against them is that they had sold and received pay for a piece of land which, it was afterwards proved they did not own. - - . The Dalles Merchantile Company. . Among the many changes that time has made in this city none ia more marked than that winch hns transformed the East End from scattering residence property into a large and increasing bus iness center. One of the first to recog- . un .1 ., r .. rr. . : . c: r r i- . , , , , , . nriri by 220 feet, of the old mint property and erected thereon the substantial two story brick building, with a ground area of fifty by one hundred feet, now occupied, as is the remainder of the lots mentioned, by the subject of this sketch. When the store was first opened by Brooks and Beers it could hardly be said there was a business house within four blocks of it, but the new firm calculated wisely and they soon found themselves doing a large and profitable trade .especially at those times of the year when the busi ness in the adjoining warehouses is greatest. A year ago Mr. Brpoke sold put his interest to R. E. Williams and the style of the firm was changed from Brooks & Beers to The Dalles Merchan tile company, G. F. Beers remaining as senior member of the firm. With this change some new departments were added until today this great Farmers' Emporium contains nearly -everything usually required on a farm or in a farm house, the larger kinds of farming ma chinery perhaps alone excepted. The Dalles Merchantile company's store is no toy shop, as orio who takes the trouble to walk through it can see at a glance. . Everything in and about the place bears the stamp of solidity. Huge pileS of groceries, dry goods,- gent's fur nishing goods, boots and shoes, hats and caps, shelf hardware, tinware, farming tools, crockery and glass ware, farm produce of all kinds including bacon, lardj grain, mill, feed,' hay, vegetables, cheese, butter, eggs, etc. Our attention was particularly called to an immense stock of cases of dried peaches and prunes bearing the well known brands of W. H. Wilson and C. E. Chrisman, fruits "that Mr. Williams assured the writer, "were of such excellent quality that they had driven the California article out of the market. The firm claims to make a specialty of fine teas which they import direct from the foreign market and of which they constantly keep a larger and) finer variety than perhaps any other house In the city. These and their im mense slock of groceries of every grade and variety make tire house second to none as a place where farmers and slock men can purchase their supplies. There is one feature connected with the busi ness of The Dalles Merchantile company that perhaps as much as any other has rendered the house deservingly popular. ' If we mistake not the old firm was the first to inaugurate the system of furnish ing free stalls and an enclosed yard for the accomodation of farmer's and freight er's teams. No less than 28 stalls, af fording shelter and racks for. 56 -head of horses have been built and stand open at all hours for the accomodation of the public. By this means many a dollar is saved to the farmer who can bring his own feed with hinfbr purchase it on the ground in quantities to suit at current market rates. A barn 30 by 70- feet at the back of the yard is filled with .baled hay from floor to ridge. In another cor ner of the yard is a shed about twenty feet in length with a table extending the whole way and a stove in he mi. '.die of the floor. This is for the convenience of farmers and freighters who desire to do their own cooking instead of buying their meals at a resturant and all these conveniences, yearly appreciated by thousands, are without money and with out price. It is these features'that com bine to make this store the farmer's favorite trading place. Whether the farmer desires to sell his own produce or purchase supplies he is equally at home at this store. . Of the character of the men who conduct the business we can truthfully say as we do in all sin cerity that no more honest men ever dealt out goods from behind a counter, If they have any different character it is unknown to those among whom they have dwelt and with whom they have donebusjness for more than half a score of years. It is not surprising therefore that they are constantly proving by constantly increasing trade, that whether in business or in the private relations of life, honesty, in the long run, is alwa3-s the best policy.

It was an. exhibit of musical home talent rarely met with in any city of the size of The Dalles while the sing ing, of Miss Lena Morgan afforded a treat to our people that they have rarely an opportunity of enjoying.- At exactly 8:15 the concert was opened by the chorus "Beggars Carnival" which was excellently rendered by the choir. This was followed by "Ah! Could I Teach the Nightingale," a very pleasing duet by the Misses Crandall and Maie Williams. Then came the solo "A Tu se Donna," hf Mias Morgan which was charmingly rendered and fairly captured the house. Of course an encore followed and the response came in"Rubinstine's Melody in F," which was received- with rounds of applause. In point of fact the audience was now charmed to a' point of dissatisfaction they wanted unmistakably that Miss Morgan should keep on singing w hich, of course could not be. Then came' a finely executed cornet duet "The Swiss Boy," by Ed Williams and James Ben ton. This was followed by the solo, My Lady's ' Bower," in the hap piest style of the -chorister H. P. Ernst. An encore followed and was met with. a very pretty and catchy serio comic ballad entitled"MaryGreen." The audience Bhowed their appreciation by a second hearty call, when Mr. Ernst responded by repeating the last verse of the melody. Then.came a magnifi cently executed instrumental duet by two of our most accomplished pianists, Mrs. G. C. Dexter and Mies Matilda Holli8ter. "It was encored, of course, it could not be otherwise -and j-he response met with hearty "applause.,- Then" came a fine anthem by the choir, and then a yery pretty solo by Miss Morgan, en titled "Thee Only I Love." A hearty encore brought out what perhaps every one present considered the masterpiece of the evening, a pretty little cradle song' that was certainly- the sweetest thing ever brought before a Dalles audience. Miss Morgan's rendering of the song was-ae charming as a delight fully pleasing voice and perfect culture could make it. Everyone felt the power of the accomplished artiste and every ear was strained to catch the faintest wliisper of the matchless melody. The applause that followed was long and loud. Then came Mr. Benton's cornet solo, Yankee Doodle (withgvariations) which was well executed ; then a very : sweet song by Mrs. Huntington "The Fower Girl" who responded to an en core with "Fairy From Shadow Town.": Both of these were rendered very sweetly and were well received as anything from Mrs. Huntington always is. Then came the vocal duet "See the Pale Moon," by Miss Lena Morgan and Miss- Maie Williams. This was another charming piece and was" finely executed. The audienee was. -unsatisfied and wanted more,- but the- Misses "Morgan and Williams refused to respond and the concert closed with a "Winter Lullaby" a trio with chorus by Misses Mais E. Williams and Grace Crandall and Mr. H, E. Ernst. This brought to a close a most successful concert. The house was well filled and a handsome balance will be added to the pipe organ fund of the new Congregational church. Mr. Ernst managed atl the arrangements and de Serves gret credit for the results. Kingsley Item. Kinoslky. San In We are sorry to chronicle the fact of Mr. E. L. Boynton's loss by fire on the 20th, of his granery and its contents and also a year's supply of bacon belonging to his son Charley, who is living on the '. farm. The loss is at least $200, and no insurance. This must seem a little hard as it will be remembered that a little over a year ago Mr. Boynton had a barn and its contents, and also a-very fine Percheron stallion burned,. . '. At nearly every house in this vicinity there is one or more down with the la Grippe or had colds, but so far no case has proved fatal. ' The snow has nearly all disappeared and the ground is frozen two or three inches but there is-more moisture in the ground than there has been vfor the last three years and farmers are all con fident of a good crop the coming har vest". , . .: There was a social dance given at the Kingsley hall on the 19th which, was a complete success as far as dancing and general social time goes.
