and feed business Mt Thc Dailes, and run
. stage line to the Deschutes and con
nected with ths boats. He was the

my argument is that you can not be a
COED young man and good old man,

her father was very proud of. She was
educated 10 England at an enormous
expense and she showed signs of culture
and refinement that would and did il
her for any society. Her mother being
an Iadian woman ,inged her somewhat
brown, just enough to make her appear
attractive. She married a man Of stand
ing about Colsille. / always thought
that the man who married her should
have standing IN the community, but
alas, Poor Yoseek, he LOST his s.andin.
