of our dead heroes. Then thousands of
us, who survived the great struggle, look

pay respects by placing flowers on the
graves of our fallen ,mrades We We're

changes have taken place in our rlnk
since thenl l. ST taps have been sound

in a few coming years, those who fought
undrr the illusrious Grant the brave
Sherman and the gallant Sheridan will
have passed beyond The dark river.
What is left are now getting old and
will have to re sign and turn over to the
care of the Younger generation the grand
aud glorious old flag which is dearer
to all old soldiers than the most precious
Jewel. whose folds have been baptized by
the blood of thousands of heroes, who
have sacrificed their lives on the altar OF
liberty. But what has the last year

WORK ALL ALONG THE LINE
Is Being Pushed in Every Department. To
Salubaia in July.

The work on the p. u |. n. up
the Weiser is going ahead as well as
could be desired A ride up the line
on Monday was a surprise; mile after
mile finished grade aggregating in all
fully II miles, and to anyone com
petent to judge of this class OF work,
it is evident that it has been done in
the best possible manner. The grade
is wide and all banks are full, and the
small cuts are ample; culverts where
needed are all made of timber moi
less than SXS; the bridge work IS
equally good and material and con-
struction first class. The grade III
the cany on proper is as good and I'M
ished sample of work as can be
found on amy old line, and the con-
tractors, Wilkerson 81 Thompson are
entitled to great credit for the very
energetic management and uniform

face of many disadvantage not gener

possibly occur from now on will be
in the delay of material, and delay
from this has been provided against
as much as possible.
Several grading outfits will move
up to Middle valley TINS week and
the work on to Salubria will he push

and not many days will lapse until
the locomotive will roll up the river
