L. 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-

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.

The C. C Concert.
The C. C. G, concert last" night Was
very much more than a mere financial
success. 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.
