The farmer that isn't busy hauling
wood is most likely to be found butcher

determined not to remain idle.
Hauling wood from the timber country
to the east of us has kept number of
farmers busy lately. Down in the scrub
country they are willing to sell wood in
return for the surplus hay cut on the
state land in this neigborhood.

wherever he goes people are able to tell
of his encounter with the animal, even

A CITY RECREATION PARK

The people of Walla Walla require
amusement, have the money to pay
for it and mean TO have it. This
growing city has a large and con
stantly growing population of men
and women, who are free to spend
their evenings in recreation. The
stores close early and a small army
of proprietors and clerks, tired of
business and hungry for restful pleas
ure, f. d themselves with long even
ing ahead Of them. Under these cir
cumstances Walla Walla may well
welcome the establishment of resorts
which are conducted on a moral plan.
So far as places for carrying on in
door amusements are concerned, the
city is. or soon will be, sufficiently
supplied, but there is a positive de-
mand for an eligible permanent site
for outdoor entertainments There is
at present no permanent site for a
fruit fair, or a ball park. or small
travelling shows. The vacant lots and
blocks are being constantly encroach-
ed upon. and persons wishing to visit
any game, or show, find themselves
constantly required to move farther
out from the common center of the
town. This condition should be rem
edied by the city owning it's own pub
lie grounds, and the Statesman be-
lieves this can be accomplished in a
simple and perfectly feasible manner.
The city is the owner in its pri-
vate municipal capacity Of the water
works. which is a producer of a large
amount of revenue The council is the
trustee of the citizens for the manage
ment. in the most economical man
ner. Of this valuable property 1t is
probable that hereafter, II sufficient
supply Of water to meet the demands
of consumers is developed and de-
livered. the revenues from the water
works will never again fall below
$4,000. This sum is amply sufficient
if honestly and intelIigently admins
tered. to provide a small fixed fund
out OF which payments could be made
annually or semi-annually for the pur
pose Of purchasing a site for the pub
lie amusement grounds The city
should own not less than a block, ans
the location should be chosen with
a view to greatest convenience rather
than merely to cheapness Of purchase
price. The water revenues would pay
for it, and not cent of taxation woul,
have to be levied for the purpose. The
Statesman commends this project t.
the friendly consideration of the NAV
or and council, believing that the
public good and welfare will be great
ly subserved thereby.

A TRIBUTE TO GEN. MILES.

The resolution adopted by the
Grand Army veterans in national en-.
campment at San Francisco last
Friday recognizing the eminent ser
vices of General Miles to his coun-
try proves that his comrades in
arms appreciate the true worth OF
this great commander, and that they
resent the sights put upon him by
more pretentiOus but far less able
men connected with the military
bureau at the national capital The
Portland Oregonian is not particu-
larly friendly to General Miles, bu,
it has the fairness to pay the follow
inng tribute TO his services as a vol
unteer soldier OF the Civil War:
General Miles was a young clerk
in a Boston mercantile house when
the war broke out, but in his first
battle-Fair Oaks, May 81, 1862
where he was severely wounded, he
displayed so much cool courage and
capacity that Colonel Francis A. Bar
low, his brigade commander, secured
his promotion from captain in the
Twenty-second Massachusetts Vol
unteers to lieutenant-colonel of the
Sixty-frst New York regiment. a pro-
motion unexampled in the history of
the civil war, for Colonel Barlow
asked the governor of New York q
promote a Massachusetts captain to
the place of field officer simply be-
cause of Miles conduct on his first
battlefield
From that time forward Miles was
the most brilliant citizen soldier OF
his years in the armies Of the union
He fought in every great battle OF
the Army of the Potomac, save Get
tysburg, from which he was absent
owing GA severe wound received al
Charlottesville, where his corps
commander, Hancock, the ablest
fighting West Pointer in the Army
save Sheridan and Humphreys, de
clared that Miles was the finest sol
der in his command, in respect tc

the battlefield. Miles commanded
the rearguard of Hancock's retreat

body while encouraging his men tC

which the Confederates were trying
to force. General Miles with hi:

Petersburg, General Miles was con-


Petersburg, General Miles was con-
spicuous leader. The day that Lees
lines were broken General Miles,
with his division of the Second Corps,
defeated General Heth near Suther-
land Station. From Fair Oaks, May
81, 1862, until April 9, 1865, there was
no important battle of the Army of
the Potomac in which General Miles
was not present save Gettysburg. He
was not only present. but he was ''ac-
counted for" by exceptional gallant
ry and skill.
Miles, not Logan, was our greatest
volunteer soldier. He was the type
of American volunteer, for he sprang
to arms in his first youth direct from
the people, and was helped by no
political block to mount his war
horse. while Logan had seen service
! in the Mexican war and was an in
| fuential political leader of So when
i the war broke out. The greatest cit
! izen soldiers of the armies of the
Union were Miles, Barlow and Cooke,
| who saw twice as much desperate
| fighting as Logan, while in military
talent on the battlefield Logan was
the inferior of Miles. At &c years of
age General Miles was a majcr-gener-
al Of volunteers; he had won all of
| his laurels under the eye of such
splendid soldiers as Hancock and
Humphreys, he had won the warmest
praise from these West Pointers as
man Of the first order of natural
military ability and intelligence; he
| had won his way by hard fighting in
| the most terrible battles of the civil
war; he had been twice severely
wounded; he had won all his military
| hOnOrs by his brains and valOr, for
| he had no political pull" such as
| leading politicians like Dix, Fremont,
Banks, Butler, McClernand, Schenck
and Logan possessed At the close
of the civil war, General Miles was
| the ablest volunteer soldier in the
| Union army He entered the army
w i,h ~ c1O Of mil 70
education, but his native aptitude for
war was so great that within two
years he was commanding the rear
guard of Harcock's army at Chan
! cellorsvile SO ably that Hancock
sent him the message, Tell Colonel
Miles that he is worth his weight in
gold" That compliment from such
| a soldier as Hancock, who was not
only a master of battle tactics but
a man of superb personal courage,
was something worth having; it
meant something from Hancock's
| lips: mere courage could not have OBJ
| TANNED it, for there are thousands
Of brave men; high intelligence not
backed by fine courage could not
have obtained it, but it was the fine
courage Of Geneal Miles and his mil
itary skill under fire that captivaIed
General Hancock.

If found guilty the heaviest penalty
