The Dirge Of Dead Sisters is a
stately solemn tribute to the women
who llursed the sick and dying In
South Africa. Some stanzas from the
poem follow:
Who recalls the twilight and the
ranged tents in order
(Violet peaks uplifted through the
crystal evening air?)
And the clink of iron teacups and the
piteous, noble laughter,
And the faces of the Sisters with the
dust upon their hair?
(Now and not hereafter, while the
breath is in our nostrils,
Now and not hereafter, ere the mean
er years go by
Let US now remember many honour
able women,
such as bade us turn again when
we were like to die,)
9Th the pain was merciful and stun
ned us into silence
When each nerve cried out on God
that made them issused clay;
When the body, triumphed and the
last poor shame departed
These abode our agonies and wiped
the sweat awayl
Who recalls the noontide and the fun
erals through the market
(Bianket-hidden bodies. fiagless, fol-
And the footsore firing party, ana the
dust and stencil, and staleness.
And the faces of the Sisters and the
glory in their eyese
(Bold behind the battle, in the open
camp all-hallowed.

South Africa idealized as a wonderful
woman is the theme of one of the most
interesting poems In the volume. The
Following stanzas are quoted from the
poem:
Lived a woman wonderful,
MAY the Lord amend herb
Neither simple. kind. nor true,
But her Pagan beauty drew
Christian gentlemen a few
Holly to attend her.
Christian gentlemen few
From Berwick unto Dover;
For she was South Africa,
And she was South Africa,
she was our South Africa,
Africa all over!
They esteemed her favor more
Than a thrones foundation.
For the glory of her face
Babe farewell to breed and race
Yes, and made their burlal-place
Alter of Nationt
Therefore, being bought by blood
And by blood restored
To the arms that nearly lost,
She, because of all she cost,
Stands, very woman, most
Perfect and adoredl

The poet gained inspiration for most
OF his new work in the South African
war and several of the poems take
rank with the best service songs that
he sang in India in bygone years. He
is generous in praise of the Boer and
not afraid to ridicule the errors of his
own countrymen. One of the best of
the poems is a tribute to the Boer UNI.

same spirit that produced Fuzzy

The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1903-04-18

W. NJ Killingsworth, one OF the Port
land gentlemen who addressed the
Chamber Of Commerce and the Push
Club Wednesday on the subject Of the
Union Depot state exhibit. made the
statement that the condensed milk bus
iness offered one OF the fines: oppor-
tunities in this country for profitable
investment. His remarks are empha-
sized by the success of the factory now
operating at Forest Grove, which is
supplanting the creameries and now
virtually has the field.
Mr.. Knlingsworth stated that besides
the enormous home mearket, which is
mostly supplied by Eastern firms. the
population Of China would eagerly swal
low every ounce of condensed milk
which coHi be canned, and give a
good price for it. The Chinese, he said,
regard it as having medicinal prop
critics. and use ii in large quantities
when they can obtain it. On the SUBJ
jeet of eanneries VS.. creameries yes
terday's Oregonian says;
..The condensed milk factory at For
est Grove has won its first big victory
in this county, and close observers now
have no hesitancy in saying that the
advantage is to be a permanent one.
The Pennington creamery one of the
finest in the county. and having the
largest patronage Of any Of the cream
cries on the West Side, yesterday
struck it's colors to the new concern.
and voted to close the institution for
the season. The Blooming creamery
will not resume. this stand being burn
Ell down a few weeks ago. Other coun-
ty creamsries are small, and it is con-
hdently asserted that only those espec-
tally enjoying favored localities. will
survive the onslaught of the Forest
Grove and Glencoe factories.
The Forest Grove factory is now
hauling milk distance Of ii miles,
and its Wagons are running to every
accessible neighborhood. Milk is haul
ed for cents per hundred weight, and
81. IS per hundred pounds is the prevail
ing price paid for per cent milk"
juSt what effect this will have on
the butter supply is an interesting
question. If the creameries are to be
driven out by the condensaries it is
plain that pure butter will soon be be-
yond the reach Of the average con-
suIner.

navy that would be cat of date in q
year after its construction on account
Of tae r,pil progress OF invention. He
would perpetrate and invite war BY
the preserca of great idle army ol
marines supported by the people.
"He would grind down the common
people by using the money gathered in
taxes, in preparing for imaginary wars,
instead of placing more OF the common
convenieaees of life at their disposal.
Instead Of recommending the edection
Of Federal building in every hamlet
Of the United States fer the use Of the
people, he would take the substance

advocating large navy from a patri-
otic standpoint, when underneath his
specious arguments, are hidden the cold
creed Of the despoiler of peace.

tions. In fact. it would mean to con-
vert the Nation into bee hive of in
dustry.' But what sort Of industry is
this which studies and perfects the
arts of murders
Does not Mr.. Hobson know that
nations defenses do not all lie in the
frowning forts and armored gunboats
that lire the coasts! Does he forget
that the money spent in building the
engines of peace-schools and public
huildings-is better protection to the
free institutions Of the country, than
that spent in the fral paraphernalia
of war?
TT would have been better for the
country If some man with less orator
