A PLAYMATE eone.

While looking over a lot of old pho.
tographs recently, ! came upon the
likeness Of boy friend, one who has
been sleeping meath the rounded
grass-cropped mound for years. Life
and Death are ever walking hand in
hand across the land, the one yielding
to the other its fairest and it's best.
Edward was jovial youth, cherub-
ic, rotund, happy and care free. He
was a favorite with his classmates
and his teachers. Not that he was q
goody-goody boy-he wasn't--but he
had about him those characteristics
that go to make one beloved. He ra-
dated sunshine and good fellowship
and his boyish ways were such as to
suggest for him stable and a val.
liable career.
And then, Just as he was about to
graduate from the high school of the
village, he became i'll. His illness
soon took an alarming turn and in
three days our classmate and friend
was dead. What a gloom the news
cast over that schoolroom. How our
eyes filled with tears and our threats
choked with a lump that would not
stay down. On his desk we twined
crepe and flowers. The school poet
wrote a poem about the boy which the
teacher read and nobody. not even the
toughest boy in school, was ashamed
of the tears he shed. In the quiet
home cemetery they laid him, and we
stood beside the grave to do him
honor and reverence.
For a score of years he has slept
in the beautiful nook set aside by the
people OF my youth for the long rest.

teryening years? The trials ana the
struggles Of LIE were not for him.
He lived but in the May time OF youth,
the apple-blossamed way OF existence,
the sunrise Of the morning. God rest
him. The memory has softened our
hearts and helped to ripen our judg.
ment for the days TO come.

RAILROAD TO NEWPORT.
That City Grants Franchise and
Building Operations Are to
Begin at Once.

Manager Guy w. Talbot, of the
Corvallis & Eastern railroad, accom-
panied by his party, returned at an
early hour yesterday morning from
Newport where on Tuesday evening
he appeared before the city council
and secured the franchise for the eX-
tension of the railroad into the city
of Newport The case of the road
was presented to the council by Mr..
Talbot, j. X. Weatherford and
Judge McFadden and the required
franchise was readily granted.
This will be the signal for the
early beginning of operations for the
extension of the road from YaQuina
City around the bay to the city of
Newport. The company owns steam
shovels and other necessary machin-
cry for the work and these will be
promptly put to use. Work on the
road is to begin at once and by the
opening of next season at the seaside
the new road will have it's terminus
in the city of Newport.
The delay incident TO the transfer
of large crowds from the train TO the
steamer will be avoided and the run
around the bay will be made in far
less time than It takes the steamer
to cross In the face of tide.
Ii is believed that the completion
of the road around the bay will in
crease the seaside travel so per cent
and 1t will reduce the time between
the valley and Newport and the
beaches by considerable.
In connection with the extension
of the road II is whispered that next
season, two passenger trains each
way will be run daily between this
city and Newport. One TO leave here
at Z a. m, or thereabouts, and re-
turning leave Newport at or p.
m, carrying passengers exclusively,
the other to run on about the sched-
ule OF the present daily bay train,
With such a service 1t is pointed out
the business OF the road and the
resorts, along the bay would he ma
terially increased, II Is likely that
some such changes will be made
