A TOUCHING TRIBUTE.
L. L.. Crockett speaks Of the Life OF

James scott.
L. L. Crockett, of Reno, but who
formerly lived in Dayton, delivered
the following tribute to our late
townsman, James Scott at the Court
House last week Thursday, while
acting as Chaplain for Dayton
Lodge Nos, 10. 0. F., under whose
auspices the funeral took place:
Noble Grand, Sisters, Brothers
and friends: My long acquaintance
with our deceased friend and Bro
ther, the kind and friendly relations
which have ever existed between us
during that time, prompt me at this
time, with your indulgence, to make
few brief remarks. The occasion
which calls us together to-day is
indeed one of sadness-sad because
we are. gathered here to pay the last
tribute of respect within our prov
ince) to a friend and Brother, who
has dwelt for SO many long years
in our midst, whose kind heart and
genial nature have endeared him to
all of his acquaintances, especially
so to your humble servant. We
can truthfully say that he has been
kind, dutiful and indulgent hus-
band and father; upright, honest
and much esteemed as citizen, a
Jealous, charitable and faithful Bro
Their, an ardent and attentive CO.
laborer in the great vinyard of our
noble Order, always by his presence,
his counsel and his means ready to
assist in promoting the great fun
damental principles of Friendship,
Love and Truth. Yes, one who so
often has assisted in performing
this, our imperative command,
"bury the dead" Yes, as he has 50
often discharged this solemn duty
to his fellow man, it is but mete
and fitting that we join in one senti-
ment of sorrow and sadness in dis
charging our duty toward him.
Although sad and bitter as our sor-
row is, still we lay his remains away
realizing the important fact that he
has but paid the debt which we
all must soon be called too
cancel. My friends and Brothers,
we today view a renewed, striking
instance of the uncertainty of life,
and the vanity of all worldly pur-
suits; should it not serve as a strik-
ing admonition to the living. And
while we drop the tear of sympathy
over the grave of our departed friend
and Brother, let charity induce us
to throw a veil over his frailties,
whatever they may have been, and
cherish memory of praise which
his many virtues merit.
May the present occasion excite
our most serious thoughts and
strengthen our resolutions by doing
good to our fellow men-may we be
more strongly cemented in the ties
of union and friendship, ever mind
full of our fraternal duty to our
fellow man-not forgetting that
golden rule, "As we would that
others should do unto you, do we
even so unto them" And may we
all SO live that when the summons
comes to join that innumerable
Caravan that moves to that mys-
terious realm where each shall take
his chamber in the silent halls of
death, thou 60 not like quarry slave
at night, scourged to his dungeon,
but sustained and soothed by an
unfaltering trust approach thy grave
like one who draws the drapery of
his couch around him, and lies

The farmers of KlickItat are not
likely to bring much wheat to The
Dalles this fall. The road from the
river to the foot of the hill is in very
bad condition, and as the report is
generally circulated that the boat
company has entered into traffic
arrangement with the railroad, there
is no encouragement to make the
long haul through the sand. Fifty
dollars expended in covering the
sand with straw would obviate one
difficulty. A positive and unequiv-
ocal denial on the part of 1.-The boat
company of The rumor would remove
the remaining difficulty. The city
cannot afford to lose the business,
and the boat com pany cannot afford
to lose the good will of the farmers.

FALSE BY HISTORY.

The declaration of Mr.. Bryan,
made at Madison Square August
18th and reiterated many times, that
the opening of the mints to the free
coinage of silver would bring the
price of silver up to $1.29 per ounce,
is proven untrue by the history of
silver in this country and in other
countries. The silver dollar, as
made by the act of 1892, was worth
less in the market than gold dollar,
and gold went out of circulation
Our silver dollars were even super
ceded by the worn, and therefore less
valuable, silver coins of other nations,
and in 1906 President Jefferson or
dered a suspension of the coinage of
the dollars. The undervaluation of
silver by the law of 1892 was less
than sixteenth. To remedy the
difficulty the law of 1884 changed
the ratio to 16 to 1. This ratio
slightly undervalued the silver, and
1t in turn went out of circulation, the
commercial ratio being about 54 to
1. The act of 1887 changed the rel
alive fineness of the two metals, SO
that the ratio became 1898 to /.
Still silver continued to be exported.
In 1853 the free coinage of coins
less than the dollars was stopped,
(This was a half ''crime'') and the
amount of silver IN these smaller
coins was reduced, making them
about equal to their bullion value.
In the latter part of the fifties both
silver and gold went out of circula-
tion, in the face of the less desirable
paper currency which came into
vogue.
The same old law that the cheaper
money will replace the dearer is older
than the boy orator, and much more
constant. We could not change the
value of silver from 1892 to 1884 by
the free coinage of silver at 15 to 1,
when the real value was 16 to 1. Is
it reasonable to suppose we can do
1t when the value is only 80 to /?
