Return of the Second oregon.

They come, they come,
Our own brave boys in blue,
Yes homeward now they come
Ladened with honors our boys so
true.
Home from war and strife.
Home from battles rife
With gore and death,
With JOY meet you
Gladly We greet you
With hearts and breath
They come, they come,
With the victor's plumage crowned,
For sturdy strength and valorous deeds
Throughout the world renowned.
Proud day for Oregon
When they come marching on
Sons glad and free,
Welcome mother, welcome sire,
Welcome them with hearts on fire.
Dearer than all to thee.
They come, they come,
Bearing their nations flag aloft..
They unfurled Old Glory in the air
In raging battles oft.
Nor dimmed one shiny star,
Nor marred one crimson bar
By cowardly deeds.
But bore it with steady hand
On through foreign land
To meet their country's needs.
They come. they come,
In broken ranks they come
Some they gave to the raging sea
On distant isles steep shore.
Rut they will not forget
| And oft will their eyes be wet
With manly tears.
| When they think of their comrades
true.
Who wore with them the blue
| In former years.
They come, they come,
To peace and home once more,
Their battles fought, their victories
won,
| Their days of war are DER.
Home to mother and maid,
| Down at their feet are laid
The trophies they have won,
/ Gladly to mother tell
How midst flying shot and shell
God spare d her son.
They come. they come.
Their soldiers work is done.
! They'll lay aside their uniforms,
They'll doff their sword and gun.
No more may drum or fife
Call to a soldierslife
One noble son.
May each in honor rest,
Be by his country blest
For valor done.
Yes, home they come,
To life of peaceful toll,
Yet the grandest battles ever won
Were fought on this same soil.
'Tis not the war of shot or shell
'Tis not the war that poets tell,
That RACES here.
1t is the war of right, not might,
And in this war all men must fight
1t God they fear.
All hail them as they come
Let joyous shouts ring out,
Their loyal hearts and steady hands
Their country needs. to rout..
The enemies more dreaded yet,
| Than on the fild OF battle met
| That turks within.
To arms let every patriot fly
For at the nations heart doth lie
Corruption, sin.
| Then come, brave hearts,
This noble victory to win,
Twill be your hardest battle fought
! To down corruption and sin.
Then on to the bulwarks grim
Allow no truce to him
Who would your country spoil
Raise each bis trusty arm
Strike down the heads that harm
And drench with sin your native soil

the country would have been, and what
the residents would have been able to
accomplish had they been favored
with lower freight rates can only be
imagined.
The fact that the producers of the
upper country have had too much OF
their income absorbed in getting their
products to market has retarded the
growth and development of the INLAND
Empire aud has also cramped business
in the places from which it drew its
supplies and did its shipping. Had
the farmers been able to get their
wheat to market for cents bushel
instead OF paying Is cents, they would
have been more liberal buyers, hence
would haye helped build up the cities
on the coast with which they traded.
Therefore it has been shortsig GIFTED on
the part of Portland that it has not in
the past lent its influence to remove
the distractions to navigation of the
Columbia, for had it done so wheat
would have been delivered at Port
land from all common points east OF
Umatilla at 81 so or So ton, instead
of an average charge of S. ton.
But the adverse influence, or to say
the least, lack of interest on the part
| of Portland toward the producers OF
the Inland Empire has prevented the
river being opened to free navigation.
This condition will. however, not
exist much longer. Ere long the &C.
lumbia will be open to comparatively
free navigation, and the people who
have for years been in the grasp of the
| railroad companies will soon have
| freer transportation facilities, and
will get their products to market at a
reasonable cost.
The effect of this will be the develop
ment of much valuable agricultural
| land that is not now utilized. 1t will
bring into cultivation thousands of
acres that at present are nothing but a
barren waste, and counties that are
tributary to the Columbia will increase
| rapidly in population. Trade at all
| points along the river will be better,
and more prosperous condition may
| he expected. Freer transportation
and lower freight rates will do much
| for the entire upper country.

them they are the parties who are
made to suffer through reduction of
salary.
If some other government officials in
high place would make an examina-
tion similar to that made by Mr.. Van
derlip the probabilities are that
large number of government clerks
would be working for less wages than
they received before such examination.
If some of the heads of departments
would occasionally and unannounced
drop in upon the employees under them
no doubt they would find good many
who are earning their salaries in social
converse, newspaper or scientific time
killing.
The reason for this is that public
Office is and has always been a private
snap and not public trust as dis
tinguished president once expressed it.
1t is not often you run across hard
worked public official. 1t is rare to
find one who is actually wearied unless

tally and physically tired out. Their
hours are short and their pay sure aud
when the office is closed at 3 or or 5
in the afternoon there are no details
of business to worry them until 9 or
| 10 the next morning. 1t is placid
sea with no sign of a breeze and their
course is an easy, aimfess and .often
irresponsible drift. Public clerks get
into rut, the work usually is light
and becomes in time dull routine, an
ly the problem resolves itself into
determination to find out not what to
do, but what not to do.
1t is very seldom that one goes into
a public office run by servents of the
| United States and finds the people in
it over worked. In mine cases out of
10 they will be found buried in re
| Election and tobacco smoke, swapping
stories with shady point, talking
politics, reading newspapers or asking
one another if it isn't time to close up,
and the sun yet high. If they are at
work it will be noticed that their la
bors are of an easy desultory sort
| There is no hurry, no rush, no grind
such as other white men have to
wrestle with 10 and II hours day.
Other. men may worry and fret and
slave; the Office holder dosen't. He
dosen.t have to. That isn't what he
got appointed for.
1t might be possible to get more
work out of the public official, but it is
doubtful. They are in a sort of trust
which objects to overexertion. There
are too many hallowed memories of
activity in place, the salary of which
is paid by Uncle Sam. There are too
many sacred traditions to be over

ficeholder will Go as much work as the
man in private life does. Under prod.
ding such as Mr.. Vanderlip mas given
it may be that few of them will shit

aud over Jealous superior, but they
will gradually drop back into the old
lethargy, which is more circumspect
aud altogether comfortable. Some
time a sort of revolution may work
changes for the better. but until such
a revolution comes perhaps all we can
say is, long life to the lucky dogs who

KILLED BY ELECTRICITY.
Son of DIR. Josephi Victim of an Electric
Shock.

Son of Dr. Josephi Victim of an Electric
Yesterdays Oregonian gives the fol-
lowing account of the sudden death Of
the'only son of DR.. Joseph at his
home in East Portland:
Hawthorne Joseph, the only son of
State Senator DR.. Joseph, met instant
death at the home Of his parents. on,
the northeast corner OF East Morrison
and East Twelfth streets yesterday
afternoon at o'clock, while repairing
some electric fittings in the bathroom
on the second floor. The night before
the electric fittings were out of repair,
and Hawthorne thought he would
overhaul them :and put them in good
condition yesterday, after his return
from the General Electric Company,
where he had been employed.
Just how the accident occurred is
not known. At the time he was at
work in the bathroom, Mrs. Joseph |
was receiving some callers. She heard |
a slight noise from the upper portion
of the residence, like some one falling
but it was only slight, and she did not
ascertain the cause at once. Presently
she went up stairs and opening the
door of the bathroom, saw Hawthorne
lying on the floor, where he had fallen
when he received the shock.
Examination of the service wires to
DR.. Josephi's residence very soon after
the accident 'showed that they
we're entirely free from contact with
,ther wires. 1t is not certain that the
7oung man received shock, bat the
is that he did receive a
light shock, such as would come from
1O0-volt current, which the wire was
arrying, and as is ordinarily used 10

1.-The advance here is caused by the
efforts of the American packers
to drive Australian beef from the

to England. Just now the business
abroad is being carried .on at a heavy
loss because we are cutting prices To
kill competition.
"The consequence is that the export
of American beef is much heavier
than ever before. Naturally und,r
these circumstances there is less beef
for the home trade, although thers
are as many cattle for the market az
ever. There is no real shortage Ia

Life Said to Remain Long After the
Head Is e

Life Said tn Remain Long After the
Head Is ver
1.-The executions in Paris during re-
cent years have revived the old question
whether death instantaneously follows
upon the severance of the head from
the body" says the Massachusetts Med
ical Journal. "Dr. Cinel asserts that
decapitation does not Immediately affect
the brain. He says that the blood which
flows after d%ecapitation comes from the
large vessels of the neck, and there ia
hardly any call upon the ejaculation Of
the Uranium. The brain remains intact,
nourishing itself with tie blood retained
by the pressure Of the air.
"When the blood remaining in the
head at the moment of separation is
hausted, there commences a state, not
Of death, but Of inertia, which lasts up
to the moment when the organ, no
longer fed, ceases to exist. DIR. Cinel
estimates that the brain finds nourish-
ment in the residuary blood for about
an hour after decapitation. The period
Of inertia would last for about two
hours, he thinks, and absolute death
would not ensue till after the space of
three hours altogether.
"If, he adds, u bodiless head indicates
by no movement the horrors of it's stu
alton, it is because it is physically i'm
possible that it should do SO, all the
nerves-which serve for the transmits
sion of orders from the brain to the trunk
being severed; but there remains the
nerves of hearing, of smell and sight,
and he concludes that the guillotine does
not cause instant death. If this be true,
