ICoaMUNIoATEp.

Fallen in battlel The news comes rushing across the continent. here and there lettering by the wayside, chilling other hearts than ours with the dread tidings, but soon enough it reaches us, filling our hearts with sadness and our eyes with tears.
 We recall the hour, a few short days ago, when, silently wiping our tear-dimmed eyes, we threw our hats in the air, unfnrled Old Glory to the breeze, and shouted ourselves hoarse, as we wished our brave boys God speed, and a safe return to loved ones.
 Today we mourn for those vino have fallen. Peacefully sleeping their last long sleep on a foreign shore, comrades fire a parting fare well OCT their resting forms. and leave them at rest.
 No loving hands from their far a~ay homes to deck their graves with laurel, but they will not be for gotten. By their valorous deeds they have erected for themselves a lasting monument m every heart, and a nation bows its head to do them honor.
 The strangers for hose freedom they left their homes and loved ones, and for whom they have given their lives freely. will weep tears of sorrow OCT those so nobly fallen for them, and hearts willswell with gratitude, as their children and their children's children point with pride and love to the graves of the heroes who died that they might be free-a fitting and lasting monument to their honor. Let this thought cheer the hearts of those braves ones at home, those who have given lives dearer to them than their own, those who have sacrificed on the altar of their country their fondest affections and their brightest hopes. Our loved ones have not given their lives in vain.

FOR KuoNpIKE RELIEF.
Government Expedition Preparing to Sail
for Alaska on Feb. 1.

Portland Or. Jan. 30.--The steamer
Elwood. ladened with government
equipments and forage for the Alaska
relief expedition. is lying at the wharf
at Vancouver barracks ready to- trans
fer her freight to the steamer George
W. Elder when she arrives from
Alaska tomorrow. The Elder is
scheduled to sail again on February
LIST. She will carry the escort of sixty
enlisted men and 100 tons of supplies.
and the steamer Signal. which sails
from Seattle February It'll, will carry
ITO pack animals. twenty-four men and
portion Of the relief supplies.

rartment of the Columbia, has decided
upon landing the entire expedition at

Chilcoot pass AZ fast as possible. He
has notified the Chicago Snow and Ice
Transportation company, which has

10 ascertain the number of people and
The amount OF supplies that will enter
Alaska this summer. Speaking of this
matter today he said: From present
Indications greater relief expedition
VIII be needed next winter than this.
Hundreds are already embarking for
lhe gold fields without more than suf-
hcient supplies to last during the sum
mers prospecting. 1t appears that
thousands more are on the way In a
Similar condition. While many may
come out at the end of the season,
others will stay with the hope of pur-
CHASING supplies. The result may be
disastrous, Therefore, IT is my opin-
ION that the Alaskan detachment of
me army could not be better employed
man to watch the trails and tally the
men and provisions passing to the in
terior.
The government would then have
ueNnlte information as to the would

territory next winter"
Because OF conditions which may

,mehts, Gen. Merriam will go forward
IN person, at least ms far as Chilcoot
