A. S. QUAINT postmaster at Alba,
Ore, returned yesterday from Port
land and left this morning for home.
Mr.. QUAINT has been in Camas Prai-
rie for the past 21 years and knows
practically eveVy one in the southern
end of the county While in Port
land Mr.. QUAINT ran across an old
comrade-at-arms. The story of their
meeting is told by the Oregon Daily
Journal as follows:
"A strange and pathetic scene was
witnessed at the Union depot early
yesterday morning as the passengers
We're alighting from the Spokane
train. The principals were two aged
veterans of the Civil war. who
laughed with tears of joy streaming
from their eyes as they clasped hands
for the first time in 40 years.
"The men were H. F. Marble, re-
siding at sol North Fourteenth street.
and A. S. QUAINT of Alba, Umatilla
county, who parted company at the
end of the Civil war and have not
seen each other since. From 1861 to
1865 they rode side by side in the
Eleventh Michigan cavalry, and side
by side through many battles.
"At the end of the war they parted
and lost all trace of each other. Sew
eral years ago Mr.. Marble came to
| Portland, where he has since resided.
| Some time later. by chance, he heard
| of a man named QUAINT who was a
prominent merchant and postmaster
at Alba. AS the name was uncom-
mon and the initials identical with
those of his old comrade he wrote to
| the QUAINT at Alba to inquire" if he
was his friend. Within a few days
a reply was received from his COM
rade of the war.
"Mr. QUAINT came TO Portland yes
terday; as he alighted from the train
Mr.. Marble recognized him, and as
he looked about Marble spoke to
him.
"'Don't you know me-? he asked.
"They grasped hands and stood
facing each other; they forgot where
they were and looked over the heads
of the crowd of curious people gazing
at them to the tented fields of '65.
Then they hurried off, arm in arm,
to the home of Comrade Marble"

RAISING EMANCIPATION FUND.
Baptists Labor to Lift Their Church
Indebtedness.

BaptistS Labor to Lift Their Church
Indebtedness.
For the past four Sundays the wor-
shippers of the Baptist church have
noticed hanging in the vestibule of
the church a peculiar looking pla-
card, which reads:
THE Emancipation Fund is now
"S5O0.O0.
"S6O6.O0.
"S75S.5O."
This is not elf-explanatory, and
many will be pleased to learn its
meaning. 1t means that the finan-
cial secretary and his assistants are
making a still hunt among the MEM
bership to free the church from in
debtedness. Not all the members
have yet been seen, but those who
have are responding loyalty, and the
prospects are fair for lifting this bur-
den of debt. At present the fund
amounts to nearly $500. and is grow
ing daily. The pastor has made no
reference whatever from the pulpit
to this matter. The last number on
the chart indicates each Sunday the
amount subscribed to date,

The Army in the Telegraph Business

Advocates of the public ownership
of public utilities will find arguments
i'm the scale of rates for social mes
sages over the Alaskan telegraph
lines of the army signal corps, which
went into effect on March l, says Col
Iier's. In that vast wilderness the
government will transmit limited
number of such messages at so cents
for 10 words or 20 words for 81. A
corporation IN control of this system
would charge at least five times the
price. The signal corps is operating
a complete system of telegraph lines
reaching every military station and
every important settlement in Alas
ka. Its web covers 1865 miles, in
cluding 2261 miles of cable, 1897
miles of land lines, and 1O7 miles of
wireless. The last item takes the
place of a cable across Norton Sound,
which had to be abandoned on ac-
count of the Irresistible crush of the
ice pack. 1t is the longest commercial
wireless line regularly working in the
world, and it has been completely and
uninterruptedly successful. The army
system, in Alaska Is not only com
plete in itself, but it Is connected by
its own cable with the general sys-
