junction of the Yaquina and Big

saw a transcontinental rail road
with tel minal shops and warehouse
and heard the Shrek and grind Of
heavy freighted commerce; He saw
great ships from distant ports ride
at anchor in the quiet harbor. Be.
lieving this vision to be prophets
and that a fortune was buried in
the undeveloped real estate Of Elk
City, he correspondent with the U.
S. senator at Washington and made
arrangements for a private dispatch
as soon as the bill, then pending,
should pass. This dispatch was
intended to give Mr.. Bensell the
tip before the news could reach bis
fellow citizens and it was to read,

The Jacksonville correspondent Of Col
lier's Weekly declares that OF all ths
CAMPS he has visited the men at that
place are the most enthusiastic and the
proudest of their commander. lie says
also. that General Lees weight Is go
pounds. but that Lee is rapidly reducing
his flesh by horseback exercise and walks
in the hot sun.
The New York Herald's army corre-
spondent In Cuba refers TO the fact that
on Sunday General Shafter got into
carriage and was driven to the front"
General Miles's presence in Cuba has evil
IDENTIFY stirred up Shafter. That he Is a
good fighter has never been doubted, we
believe.
The health Of the American troops he
fore Santiag, continues good, though few
boil the water before drinking. The Off
cials didn't discover until a day or two
ago that many Cuban refugees had been
bathing in the branch which is the chief
water supply OF the Americans, but that
practice has now been stopped.
Admiral Cervera states that when he
jumped overheard from his burning ship,
had not his son come TO his rescue and
borne him up with his stronger arms. he
would have been drowned. He also states
that when Blanco ordered the fleet TO
make a dash for liberty he (Cervera)
knew that II meant sulcf1e."
Schley is said to have asked Sampson
If Sampson would have assumed the re-
sponsibility IL Cervera's feet had es-
capped, and Sampson hesitated TO reply.
Then said Schley. 81 cannot allow you to
claim credit for the victory" Good, If
true.
Captain Philip, the praying and fighting
captain of the Texas. says during the
civil war he noticed that whichever side
Aired the first shot on Sunday lost the

Many OF Captain Drlnkards writings
are worthy OF permanent place In our
literature, but alas! they have never been
collected. They are buried. so to speak.
IN the files OF the Dispatch, and now that
ne and Mr.. James a. Cowardin both are
gone. there Is none TO Identify them. His
literary style was distinguished for its
accuracy. aptness. and simplicity. He
eschewed rhetorical combinations and
high-sounding phrases. The polishing
that he gave his manuscripts was not In
the way OF framing glIttering sentences,
but in producing clean-cut, expressive
idlomaiic English. His influence upon
the press Of the city and State was good,
and he must be accorded place as
man OF uncommon eruduon. of sterling
worth, OF remarkable fairness in discus
sion. and OF unalloyed patriotism. In and
out Of the public sight ais life was clean.
his example good.
For some months Immediately preced-
ing his death the intensity of his suffer
ings was relieved somewhat: he slept
better than formerly. and his last days
were freer from pain than any he had
known in long time before. His end
was peaceful. his courage unfiinching.
We think Of him now In the full enjoy
ment Of that happiness which he most
craved-rest.
