Among others our 01 a stand-by, the East Oregonian, gives them a splendid send off. A number of Dalles people were on passenger trains Noe. 4 and 2, returning from Portland last night, and upon reaching Cascades came to the con clusion that they were booked to take up their abode there for the night at least, a landslide being reported just this side of that place. No. 4 reached there about 3:50 and remained until about 12 o'clock ; while No. 2 was side tracked at ' Bonneville, arriving here witliin a half-hour of each other, the first at 2'o'clock and the last at 2 :30. ' The loss of stock in Crook county during the winter of 1898-99 may be now safely estimated as not worthy of mention. From all sections of the country come reports of light losses, and stock in fairly good condition. A recent heavy snowfall in t:.e foothills assures us not only a heavy growth of grass during the coming season, but ample water for irrigation. Indeed, Crook county, Oregon, has few peers and no superiors on the Pacific coast as a stock country. Crook Co. Journal. This year is to be the year for "going West," and there will be no end of immigrants coming our way. The rail roads are doing their best to settle up the Northwest, and the Great Northern and Northern Pacific have made a rate of $25 from St. Paul to Portland, going into effect today. The Canadian Pacific and "Soo Line" have met this rate from Eastern terminals to Puget sound points. On and after the third Tuesday of this month and the first Tuesday in' April the Canadian announces a round-trip first-class rate of $52 from St. Paul. The Saturday soirees given by Smith Bros, have been a source of great enjoy ment to a large number of dancers. Not only those belonging to the class, but many 'outsiders who appreciate a good floor and good music, attend every week. These were much disappointed to learn from the Times-Mountaineer last week that Saturday night's soiree would be the last. This was a mistake; it was not the laet nor the least, and bo thoroughly enjoyable was it that every one was glad to have Mr. Smith an nounce that he intended to have the soirees continue, although his dancing class will be closed for this season.

The Eugene Guard sayB of Homer : "He is one of the brightest members of the student body, and very popular for the close attention and thoroughness which he exhibits for every phase of college endeavor.

M. T. Nolan, Ai Bettinoen. W. P. Van Bibber, Ed Burchtorf, E. P. Fitz Gerald, Ned H. Gates. Dated Dal lab City, March 13th, 1899. It seems tbrat it has been' a custom of Mr. Mc Neiy to occasionally walk to his farm near Mosier, where his family re sides, either going, on baturday evening or Sunday morning. - About 4 o'clock yesterday morning William Allatt says that he met Mr. McNeil going down Second stroet, auartbaj; be tnrned the corner at Union. It is supposed that he started to cross the new bridge on his homeward journey and reaching the end of the walk, in the darkness stumbled and fell, the distance being about 45 feet, falling on bis back in the creek, and stunning : him " so that be had no power to help himself. The . wonder is that bis neck was not broken, or that he was not '. badly ' mashed falling ' such a distance, and it has been a question in the minds of some whether he did not fall from the foot log above, but nothing could be found to justify such a belief. The only marks on his person were slight bruise on the back of bis head and a small red spot on one' cheek,' so that he must have drowned in his strug gle after tailing. The body floated about twenty feet till it reached shallow water. For the past twenty years Mr. McNeil has been foreman in the carpenter shop of H. Glenn, and no more trusted em ploye could be found. His life has been one of constant work in the endeavor to support a large family, and having done his duty well, it seems bard that such an end should have been his. He was particularly thoughtful, assisting in many ways the family of his deceased brother, A. McNeil. He made provision for the wants of hie children when he should leave tbem, having $2000 life in surance with the Catholic Knights of America. A year ago last November bis wife died, leaving to his care ten children. who are now orphaned. The oldest, John, is now a sergeant at Fort Robison, Neb. Another, Walter, aged 18, is at Weiser, while Joe, who is about 20, as sists a 15-year-old sister in caring for the farm and six younger children. Mr. McNeil was 48 years old last January, and a man in good health and willing to bear his share of life's burdens, which were not light in bis casev The funeral will take place tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock from the Catholic church.

MAYS & CROWE'S NEW STORE Ad Ornament to the City Bliei Oat of the Rain of the Conflagration Lait Aarmt Time after time hps The Dalles been tried in the fiery furnace, but just to often has she phoenix-like arose from tbe flames, each time more bright and with more of a determination to prove herself undaunted. The last conflagra tion of. note was that on tbe night of August 14th, juat seven months ago to morrow, and, in that short time, from the mass of ruins has arisen many buildings which far discount those con sumed. On the corner of Second and Federal Streets stood the hardware store of Mays & Crowe, which had been fitted "ud bo completely that it was the pride of the town ; but tbiB with the rest was swept away in a few hours. : Many were afraid that havlDg suffered such a loss, tie firm would be so discouraged that - they would hesitate to rebuild. But no sooner were the, ashes cold than' plans were being formulated for a new building, and today the last load of goods will be . moved into a hardware store wbich is not equalled on the Pacific coaet. Nob a feature of .the whole edifice has been slighted, and from the basement to tbe large warehouse on the upper floor it is complete. The entire structure is 100 feet square, the implement and hardware depart ment each being 53x100 feet. A large gallery encircles the lower floor, audi from the floor to the ceiling, twenty feet, extends shelving with which i intermixed hardware boxes, all veneered with oak. To tbe front of the imple ment department is a plate glass gnn case, twenty-one feet long, and for every article sold there is a place where it fits in perfectly. A large Warner hydraulic elevator, with a capacity of three tons, has been put in at the southeast corner of the implement deparment. The ceiling of the building is of figured steel artistically painted, while the tints are very delicate and tasty. While every part of the store is worthy of mention, the large office in tbe back and to the center of the building strikes the eye at once, being surrounded with glass and fitted np completely. The floor of the main office is covered with linoleum, while the private office will be carpeted. The large desk of the book keeper is one of the finest we have ever seen, being of ot." , highly polished. Tbe vault, which ia a two-story one, ia 7x9 in dimensions, and in thiB will be placed a burglar proof safe. The main store will be lit with nine arc lights of 500 candle power, and the office with incandeecents, which shining; through tbe front of solid plate glass, will illumine the entire street. Time forbids our giving this mono ment of tbe enterprise of tbe firm a fitting description or mentioning the numerous adjuncts to tbe main building. It' is a structure which would do credit to any city in the United States. 32 U . S CHOICE Northern Grown SEEDS ' In Bulk at J. H. CROSS . v. . Feed and Grocery store Cor 2d St Federal Sts. V
