A Historical Spot.

Among the many places of interest
which surround Americas, Ga, there is
none so historic in its character or OF
which so much has been spoken and writ.

Confederate prison and the national ce n

1900 Union soldiers. 1t lies clever

is pleasant and picturesque one, the
road winding among the hills and valleys
and passing through forests of pine. OF
the old prison pen, which was, in fact
nothing but stockade inclosing thirty
acres of land, through which runs Sweet
water Creek, little remains.

WORTHY OF HONOR.
Those Whose Graves We Decorate, and
Likewise. the Survivors.

Those Whose Graves We Decorate, and
Likewise, the Survivors.
In every cemetery in the land on Me-
mortal Day flowers are placed on the
graves of the soldier dead. The flag, the
potted plant and the bouquet are the
tributes of young and old to the men who
fought valiantly in the wars of the Union.
The great majority, of course, Of the
graves decorated are those of men who
took part i'll the great Civil War. In
commenting on Memorial Day and those
whom it is intended primarily to honor,
writer says:
''The like Of that day at Appomattox
has never beeh known in history. Not
a guerrilla band survived the vanquished.
Not vindictive blow was struck by the
victorious host. By the speediest roads
of travel the men in blue marched back
to their own abodes. They surrendered
their arms to the keeping of their gov
ernment; their flags they hung up in me-
mortal halls; their fame they bequeathed
to their country and to the world.
"What have these men done gince the
bloody struggle ended? They have been
building railroads, opening mines and
making the wilderness blossom like the
rose. They have been extending the
blessings of self-government to wide and
remote regions. They have become pros
porous farmers, merchants, leaders in
finance, captains of industry. Their blue
uniforms have been replaced by uniforms
OF toll. They have brought to the sacred
desk the devout service of consecrated
powers and eloquent tongues. They who
learned the weaknesses of human nature
amid the horrors of the hospital have
administered with the gentle skill of
heaIing knowledge to the sick and aflict-
cd, and in high tribunals of justice they
have inscribed with the pen on the tab
let's OF the law what they strove for with
the sword. They have been making his
tory. They have become Representatives.
Senators, Governors, Presidents. In for
eign lands they have illustrated the dig
nifty and glory of the republic, both in
public and private stations. That some
have fallen by the way is true, but the
uncountable majority have been worthy
OF American citizenship, and in the fields
of labor, thought, purpose, invention, en-
terprise, daring and genius they have
ranked with the foremost of this glorious
country. They have inwrought the things
for which they strove with the very fiber
OF the government and the fabric of old
age. They have shaped constitutions
and laws to the purposes of liberty, the
unions of the States and the high des-
TIMES of the republic. Let the veterans
all pass as the great leaders already have
those that bore rank and the undistin-
guished many. But what they did lives
on and grows and brightens the passing
years."

enough into the future to see Memorial
day snugly, firmly planted in the public
schools Of the land. as well as other
schools-in the academies, colleges and
universities. He lived to see the day de-
velop into national holiday by common
consent, II not by law. But he did not
live to see it take possession of the edu-
cational interests of the country he
wrought SO grandly for, in war as well as
peace.
Most Of the young fellows who sprang
to arms when war with Spain was de-
clared were schooled to the practical pat
riotism they so glowingly manifested in
the schools where they had been looking
at and hearing about the flag and the
country Of which it is the blessed emblem
the flag and country they are willing to
die for, if their lives are demanded. The

HOW GENERALLoaAN sUILDEp.
Not Likely that He Realized to What
Extent the Day Would Be Observed.

1t may be wondered if Gen. John A.
Logan was aware how well he was build
ing when, in 1868, he laid the foundation
for Memorial day. 1t may be doubted.
Possibly he saw far enough into the fu-
ture to discover a general observance Of
the day by the men who, like himself, had
helped to do that which warranted the
establishment of the beautiful customs of
Memorial day. That much would have
been natural. But he surely did not pic
ture to himself all Of the Developments of
the movement. Did he realize then that
Memorial day ceremonies would be made
the foundation for patriotic education such
as no other country has experienced-such
as this country never before experienced?
Probably not. Did Logan look far enough
ahead to see that the great semi-military
order of which he was the head would
have been numbered with the dead long
ago had it not been for Memorial day and
the grand ideas born of that day? 1t is
not likely. Did he realize then that Me-
mortal day ceremonies would attract the
attention Of tens of millions of people out
side Of his comrades? 1t is possible, but
not probable.
Certainly Gen. Logan did not look far

NORTHERN PACIFIC
may BUILD CUTOFF

Railway men state nat the only
railroad construction now going on
in Washington of any. moment Is a
short line being built by Portland
capital from Lyle to Goldendale, a
distance of about 60 miles 1t will
be ready to operate for the entire
distance within few weeks and
passes through a rich section of
country.
1t is rumored that the Northern
Pacific is to build line from Yakima
to Goldendale to connect with the
road to Lyle and make a short cut
for the Northern Pacific into Port
land.
Some years ago survey was made
for a line through this same terri
tory. The Klickita valley, through
which the short line will pass, is very
rich and when it has been developed
