oregon Veteran Offers His Services
10 the Government.
Seattle February q. lsas

Seattle. February =. 1893.
To the Editor: To those who know Brig
adier-Gtneral II. b. Compson. OF oregon.
one OF the most impressive features OF the
development OF the Maine disaster in FRI
days Post-lntelligeneer was his MESA ge 10
the oregon delegation in congress offering
his services and brigade OF soldiers.
which he would recruit 10 the country IN
the event OF war with Spain. General
Compson Is a man who understands what
he Is talking about. and could easily fulfill
his promise IL called upon. He gained dis
tinction during the civil war as the result
OF courage and cool Judgment displayed
amid the privations and dangers OF the line
OF battle. Cdmpson's regiment knew how
70 follow him with fixed bayonets through
the enemy's line: his men knew how 10
euen Chicago riots. Yet. when the coun-
try was again settled. he quietly resigned
his position Of honor IN the army and en-
tered civil life. The change was simply one
OF outward appearance. The good judS-
ment and fearless disposition which raised
his rank during the war brought him a hest
OF friends and admirers In his civil life.
Both az business man and as a member
Of the Oregon railroad commission he has
rsndersd excellent service for the COM
mun!ty and state
For several years he was at the head OF
the Oregon National Guard, and IL Is need
less TO say he placed Il In a fine condition
for service. How well his work was done
in this capacity can best be iIlustra ted by
the frank confession Of one of the Oregon
labor leaders during the great strike OF
US4 which for period paralyzed railroad
traffic over the Union and resulted in
scenes OF disorder and bloodshed. General
Compson was in Portland, where he had
complete control of the situation for his
district. The leading agitator told a mem
Der OF the generals staff: IF IL were not
for your militia We would tie everything up
here in a few minutes" He knew that
q word from General Compson would have
brought 1000 trained men into Portland,
and no violence was attempted. Had the
Oregon guard been in less able hands the
outcome might have been much different.
This is the man who is willing to again
enter the scenes OF war in behalf Of the
country ne once helped save. General
compson is not man who seeks notorie-
~. and his action signifies that in his opin-
ION the situation is very serious.

The reason for the delay Is the irnpend-

evidently great uneasiness. IL not alarm.
Troops are being moved here and there
and people are being impressed into the
military service IN large numbers. Many
