w. III. Buskirk OF Hood River and the
editor of the Glacier were talking over
their army experiences Monday and dis
covered that they served together in
Hancock's veteran corps, Mr.. Buskirk
belonged to the 9th regiment. When
the big parade and review Of the Union
armies took place in Washington at the
close OF the war, he went on the sick list
for three days, dressed in civilian cloth
ing and thus passed the guards and
crossed the east branch of the Potomac
to see the parade. Hancock's corps did
not participate in the parade, but was
kept in camp at Camp Stoneman. The
Sth regiment was ON guard on the walls
of the arsenal when Mrs. Surratt and
the other conspirators were hanged, and
Mr.. Buskirk saw the execution. Han
cocks veteran corps was composed OF
soldiers who had served three years in
the army before or during the war and
been honorably discharged. BY per.
mission OF congress General Hancock
was authorized to enlist 10000 veterans
for the corps.
A landslide occurred last week at the
Columbia nursery. A strip of land 20C
feet long slid into the swamp, taking
with it about dozen fine bearing pear
trees and four rows of Strawberries.
Springs have risen underneath which
will probably cause more loss OF the
same sort, Itls suggested that if Mr.
Bateham will thin out the fruit and not
allow his trees to bear such heavy crops,
it might prevent further losses of this
nature.
Thursday Professor r. r. Allard, oi
the Dufur schools, came in from that
place and took the afternoon train for
Portland, where ne will enter the st.
I. Vincent hospital to undergo an opera
ton, expecting to be absent about a

circumstances which make his absence
from duty imperative, but Misplace will
be ably filled by his competent wife.-
