Here Barker lies, once printer 10 the Crown.
Whose works OF art acquired a great renown
Time saw his worth, and spread around his fame'
That future printers might imprint his naac.
But whom his strength could work the press no more
And his last sheets were folded into store -.
Pure faith with hope tho greatest treasures glVenb
Opened their gates and babe him pass 70 heaven.

Glide not your spouse because he sings

OF Daphne's hair, and eyes, and rings,

And 50 your spouse must sling his rhyme

Opening OF the Handsomest Restaurant

At last The Dalles has restaurant
that is a credit to the city. 1t is the
new one just opened in the Opera House
block, No. 116 Washington street by Mr..
Will S. Graham. 1t has handsome
dining room with nine tables, with the
neatest kind of service so arranged as to
be exceedingly attractive. There are
four private boxes and pleasant priva te
dining room that can be laid with six
teen covers. This room is Mr.. Graham s
pet hobby and is the delight of his eye.
1t is attractive in all its apportionments
and we predict that many fine dinners
will be enjoyed there.
The kitchen is large, some l6x20 feet,
and is as neat as wax and perfect in
range and every convenience that can be
utilized. A large refrigerator room is
just off the kitchen, so complete in its
arrangements that meats and other arti-
cles are kept so fresh and sweet that
they are brought from there in perfect
condition for cooking. Everything about
the entire establishment is as clean and
tidy and nothing is lacking in the ap-
pointments of complete and perfect
restaurant. Mr.. Graham has the best
of cooks and his meals are served in a
tasteful and attractive manner. We
congratulate the proprietor on his
handsome and complete establishment
and hope that he will receive the patron
age he so richly deserves.

Amen formerly of Kingsley. Mr.. Wood
ruff's death occurred on the I'd ultimo
and he was 65 years, 5 months and q
days old. the immediate cause of his
death was tumor of the stomach. He

sincere and consistent Christian and
died as he had lived, in the full hope of
a glorious immortality.
