The snow storm, which struck The
Dalles yesterday, did not extend further
than five miles in the country south of
here. From that point to Bakeoven the
ground is said to be frozen, which will
seriously interfere with farming pursuits.
Yesterday farmers between here and
5-Mile did not stop from plowing be
cause of the snow. A few warm days
just now would please the farmers very
much. - - " " "-: ;

A big shipment of cattle went from
The Dalles to Trdutdale today. They
were what are known as Christmas cat
tle, as their carcasses wiir be displayed
in the Portland market b lor the holidays.
The cattle were fine specimens of East
ern Oregon stock, there being 102 cattle
in the bunch, with an average weight of
1337 pounds. Monroe Grimes bought
them from Messrs. Kelly and ' Kuney,
who have been feedmg the cattle during
the fall. Portland people' will have
some good meat to eat when these ani
mals reach them.
The painters are at work on the rooms
to be occupied by the Commercial and
Athletic- Club. The plastering is all
done, and, with the aid of the large
stoves, is rapidly drying. The papering
in one of the social rooms is nearly done.
Tbe trnstees held a meeting yesterday
afternoon, and conferred with tbe agent
of Mr. Grant regarding some changes in
the interior of the building partitions
to be put in and similar modifications.
The details will be settled todav, and
then the furnishings for the rooms will
be ordered. From the wav work is now
being pushed it is believed the social
rooms will be readv for occupancy bv
the first of the year, though the bowling
alley will not be completed, nor the
gymnasium ntted up till sqrue days
later. The trustees are wbrkinjr in har
mony, and everything augurs ' well for
the success of the club.
The Early Mission Building; at The Dalies
. Apropos of Father Mesplie's death
mentioned ia Saturday's Chronicle, an
interesting bit of early history was told
a Chronicle reporter by Mr. C. W.
Denton. In 1851 or '52, just which year
Mr. Denton could not determine, Father
Mesplie came to The Dalles. In 1852 he
began the erection of mission buildings,
which were completed with the aid of
C. W. Denton and Edward Crate. These
two men did the greater part .ot the
labor and the work was done in rapid
time, considering tbe crude materials at
hand. The matter of a steeple was
easily settled, for close to one corner of
the mission building stood a large tree,
high in the branches of which the church
bell was placed. Here it's- sound was
frequently heard through the many
years the mission buildings were used.
Father Mesplie was. an indefatigable
worker and soon his labors made a deep
impress upon the savages who came
under his influence. "The site of this
early mission is a familiar one to resi
dents of The Dalles. The buildings
were located about a mile west from
town, a short distance from . where' the
Catholic Cemetery now is: The" number
of Indians baptized there runs np into
the thousands, The - Dalles .being the
headquarters- of work1 for many years.
After the mission was abandoned, thej
church building remained standing

many years, till at last time and
weather wrought its destruction.
Of the three men whose names are
mentioned in connection with this remi
niscence, two are dead, Edward Crate
having joined the dead pioneers a year
or so ago. With the death of Mr. Crate
there passed one of the very first white
men who made a permanent settlement
in Oregon. He was a member of the
Hudson Bay company, and when tbe
company retired from business here,
Mr. Crate remained and for many years
lived on a farm at Crate's point, several
miles below The Dalles.' Mr. Denton is
one of the oldest eurvivicg pioneers of
this region. : .
A. Rector tor the ISplscupal Charch.
Ever since thd departure of ,. Rev. Eli
Sutcliffe, some two years ago, the con
gregation of St. Paul's Episcopal church
has been without a rector.' The bishop
of this diocese has been for some time
on the lookout for some man whom he
deemed suitable for this charge ; but up
to this time no selection had been made.
At last a call has been made to Kev. Mr.
Mercer, who is. a member of the Quincy,
Illinois, diocese. No answer has been
received to the. call of the church, so it
is not known whether or not Mr. Mercer
will accept! It is understood, however,
that some time ago he expressed a desire
to come to the Pacific coast, and' it is
believed he will consider the call favora
bly. ...
In the meantime tbe church has pros
pered financially. By the careful man
agement of tbe vestry a steady revenue
has been coming in, which has been ap
plied to the church debt, till It has been
wiped out and the church is free from any
financial, obligation. This condition
gives great satisfaction to the members
of the congregation, and they look for
ward eagerly to tbe coming of a rector
and the resumption of regular services.
The Day in Court.
The attention of Judge Bradshaw was
occupied today with hearing tho case of
Z. F. Moody vs. W. D. Richards. The
action is being ttied before the judge
without the aid of a jury. ..Huntington
& Wilson appear for the plaintiff, while
W. H. Wilson represents the defendant,
Among the matters of importance
done during the day was a confirmation
granted in the case of J. C. Meins vs. C.
J. Coats worth. The case of A. Scher
neckau vs. J. C. Murphy et al, was con
tinued. In the case of E. G. Young vs.
Charles Fryer, a default was entered
and an order made to sell attached prop
erty. In the case of Mamie Strickland
vs. August Buchler, judgment was giyen
upon the verdict in favor of the defend
ant. A default was also entered in the
case of J. A. Gulliford vs. J. Tcpar,
There are yet ' several matters of t
routine nature, which remain to be
finished up.
. Death of Mrs. Phillips.
The death occurred at Kingsley last

attack of bronchitis, her sufferings before
death being very acute. Mrs. Phillips
was aged about 75 years and with her
husband," was one of the first settlers ol
Tygh Ridge. Mr. and Mrs. Phillips
crossed the plains with some of the early
pioneer parties and made their home
where the village of Kingeley now is.
The house erected by Mr. Phillips was
the first in that vicinity and its occu
pants saw th9 Tygh Ridge country de
velop from a vast area of untitled land
covered with bunchgrass to one of the
most prosperous farming communities
in Eastern Oregon. For a good many
years Mr. and Mrs. Phillips kept the
hotel at Kingsley. Mrs. Phillips was. a
lady greatly beloved for her kind and
generous qualities, and her death will
be universally regretted by a large num
ber of friends and acpnaintances. The
funeral services will be held at Kingsley.
