DEsERTIoNs FROM ARMY.
Reported TO BE 1t7,247. But Accurate
Count Not Possible.

Washington, April 2O.-The war
department continues to receive in
quiries concerning the number of de-
sertions from the federal army during
the civil war. These inquiries come
in periodical patches, and are evident
ly based on newspaper statistics to this
or that effect, principally alleging that
a certain percentage of deserters We're
of this or that nativity. The records
in the war department have not been
so kept that the nativity of deserters
is ascertainable, and any assertion of
percentages based on that feature is
absolutely untrustworthy,, having no
positive basis.
Nobody knows the actual number
Of desertions in the army during the
civil war, and General F. C. Aims
worth, the military secretary in the
army, who keeps the records, esti-
mates that the number of actual de-
serters at the close of the war was
117,247, and this makes due allow

The Enpo'ia Enterprise OF EN-
cerning trading with mail order
houses and sending money away for
which the East Oregonian wishes tC
present to its readers.
The Enterprise says:
The man who buys his goods from
a mail order house and expects his
neighbors in Emporia to buy goods
of him, or buy labor of him, or to buy
professional service of him, is acon-
omically a leech. He is sucking in
dustrial blood out of the town and
gives none back. He sends his profits
out of town like Chinaman and has
no more right to a standing In the
community than a foreigner. We are
all neighbors industrially in this town
and the man who sends away for his
goods is not one of us. He is of an
other system, and deserves no mans
support in Emporia.
The fact that this is economically
wrong is recognized by the mail or
their customers as thieves by offer
ing to keep the people from knowing
where the mail order houses have no
tags on their goods. They say that
i'm their catalog no one knows where
they were bought. If it is proper to
hide the place of purchase of an arti-
Gle, it is wrong to buy the article at
that place. Only man who steals
is man ashamed to tell where he
| got anything he has. There is such
thing as tainted dry goods,
tainted groceries" and tainted furni-
ture." All of such articles that are
not bought at home, of men who be-
friend you, of men to whom you owe
your living, are tainted because
they come unfairly.
The trouble in Emporia is this:
So many merchants buy their goods
away from home that a systematic
jealousy has sprung up. The furni-
ture dealers don't feel that they have
to buy their dry goods at home be
cause the furniture mems wives buy
ther goods away from home. Th'
same quarrel exists in every line o.
| II 10 tl<ii ily SihtS W tiN
interests of the town.
1t is time to change and get to
gether. 1t is time to begin to reform
ourselves and not our neighbors. b.
buying everything at home, whethe
the neighbors do or not And now
the time to begin.
The thing to do is for all of u
t to turn over new leaf.
I The farmer who sends to a Chi
