Jackson, a- brakeman run ning between this city and Umatilla,' re ceived news yesterday of. the death of his brother, Felix Jackson, at Sherman, Texas. He inquired by telegraph if the body could be preserved until he could arrive to be present at the funeral, and received a negative reply. Mr. Jackson does not know the . manner of ' bis brother's death.' Sherman is the Texas town where fifty were killed by the cy clone the other day, but he does not think he was killed by the cyclone, as he lived in that part of town not ravaged by it. He thinkst more likely he was killed in an accident, as he was a rail road man: ' , - " Felix Jackson lived in The Dalles just before the big fire, and later moved to Albina, where he was employed in the shops.; He was unmarried. v .. .

N A Carload of Choice Burbank Po tatoes expected tomorrow at " ; ; J: CRbsis ;; Feed and Grocery t " re. st ir s, The Dalles Commission Co. received a crate of home-grown, strawberries today grown by Mr. Stadleman. Oregon s crop will:" not be so large and will be about two weeks later this eeasoh than last. Reports from Utah indicate that state's crop will mature about the same time as Oregon's, but the Oregon berry is far superior to :any other and will bring the to$ price. An order comes from CripDle Creek' for 50" crates daily. Denver and Colorado Springs' can 'easily assimilate a car load daily. Wyoming furnishes a new and promising market, while' Montana and the" Sound cities are inveterate purchasers of what is known as the famous -Hood River strawberry, by which is generally classed the Clark's seedling v raised, anywhere in Wasco county. Indications are that the de mand this year will far exceed th supply. . tJoHtlcal Speaking-. Mr. A. J.'
