The Declaration at Ticonderooa.

At Ticonderoga, N Y, the Declare
ton Of independence was proclaimed
to the portion Of the army stationed
there. Says a contemporaneous writer:
ION Sunday, July %, 1776, Immediate
ly after divine worship, the Declare
ton of Independence was read by
Colonel st. Clair, and, having said,
God save the free and independent
states Of America the army manifest
ed their JOY with three cheers. 1T was
remarkably pleasant adds the nara
tor, to see the spirits Of the soldiers
20 raised after all their calamities.
The language Of every mans coun-
tenance was, "Now we are a people;
we have a name among the states Of
this world" -"

w Y this time everybody has agreed
upon Nathan Hale as the one
supreme representative or
American Revolutionary mar
tyrdom. The last words Of the young
soldier just before the British hanged
him as spy have become a part OF
our most sacred national Inheritance:
II only regret that I have but one
life to lose for my country"
Within fifteen years two splendid
statues and several other memorials
have been raised to the memory or
Nathan Hale. Il notable play depicting
his life and death has been written
and widely produced, scores Of maya
zine articles on the subject have been
published, and several complete and
detailed biographies have come from
the press. 1t is curious fact that two
biographies published the same year,
1890, bore these kindred titles: Nathan
Hale, the Martyr Spy" and Nathan
Hale, the Martyr Hero" This shows
how students Of American history and
heroism vie with each other in paying
tardy tribute to the young Connecticut
patriot who gave up his life as sac
rifice to freedom on Sept. %, 1776,
only two and half months after the
first GLORIOUS Fourth"
For seventy years the dust Of the
young hero lay in some unidentified
spot on Manhattan Island before the
first monument to his memory was
erected. In 1887 the women of his ma
tive town, Coventry, Conn.,, conceived
the plan Of building a Nathan Hale
monument. They worked for several
years in raising funds, and the memo
rial was completed and dedicated In
1916, just seventy years after the exc
CutiOn Of the hero.
The Macmonnies statue Of Hale,
which stands In City Hall park, New
York, was dedicated in 1893, with i'm
posing ceremonies, eloquent addresses
and military and naval parade. A
few years later the alumni of Yale uni
versity, Of which institution Nathan
Hale was graduate, raised fund for
the erection Of statue of the hero on
the college grounds. There is also a
Nathan Hale statue in Hartford, Conn.
A handsome memorial in the form Of
a drinking fountain is an object of in
terest and comfort at Huntington,
N. T., wnere Ine youth WIS captured
by British soldiers when he was about
to start back to the American army.
The Macmonnies statue in New York
city is said to be the finest specimen
Of the sculptor's art that we have in
America. 1t Is a bronze figure Of heroic
size, mounted upon circular pedestal,
which bears the last words Of the hero
and the further Inscription: "Nathan
Hale, a captain in the regular United
States army, who gave his life for his
country in this city of New York, Sept
%, 1776. Erected by the Sons of the
Revolution"
This statue faces Broadway at one
of the busiest points on that great
thoroughfare. Millions Of people pass
by every year and see the pathetic
figure Of the young Revolutionary sol
der, his arms pinioned for execution,
standing there in 1mperishable bronze,
an inspiration to all who love their
country.
Other memorials of Hale, even more
interesting, may be visited by the pa
triotic pilgrim. The quaint old house
in which he was born is still standing
in the town Of Coventry. At New

CHAM BERLAIN TO MEET TEDDY
Oregon's Governor Will Join President
On Trip Down Mississippi.

PORTLAND. Sept. Ex-Governor
George E. Chamberlain left for Mem
phis, Tennessee, where he will visit
with relatives for a short time. From
there he will pay a short visit to Nat
chez, Missippi, his old home. Following
these visits the governor will join the
Mississippi river and will return to
Oregon after an absence of three weeks
or more.
Governor Chamberlain goes to Join
the presidential party upon the invita-
ton of President Roosevelt and at the
same time will represent the Portland
chamber of commerce. 1t is expected
that the presence of the governor on
the trip will do much for the open
river question in this state, since he
will be able personally to impress upon
the president the great need in Oregon
and the northwest of the opening of
the Columbia, and other river and har-
Dor improvements.

been discussed by us. AS for the pc
ginning of the grafters' campaign OF
ANYTHING to beat Jones' that sounds
well CD from the P.-I, considering
that papers reputation in regard to
being in the control of the grafters.
AS for beating Jones, he has nothing
to be beaten out of yet except the
position of congressman and the people
would like to see him keep that ana
render some service to the state.
1t would appear that Congressman
Jones has a duty to perform to the
people OF the state of Washington who
have elected him as one of their rep
resentatives at the national capital and
any weak attempt to avoid that duty
by an attack upon another man is not
a satisfactory solution of the prob
lem. There is no use for the P.-I. to
try to MAKE Senator Ankeny an ex-
cuse for Mr.. Jones not Rendering the
best possible service to the state. Leave
Senator Ankeny and the discussion Of
his interests out of the question and
what is Mr.. Jones' duty? While it is
sometimes hard to sacrifice personal
ambition to duty it is frequently the
better policy in the long run.

DEVELOP LUMBER INDUSTRY
ONE-THlRD OF MERCHANTABlE
TIMBER is IN OREGON AND
WASHINGTON.

'"rhe northwest section comprising
Oregon, Washington and Idaho, will
witness the fullest development OF its
lumber industry within the next ten
years." said Professor F.. o. Siecke, in
school of forestry at the State col
lege in a recent conversation. Just
now about one fourth of the mer-
charitable timber of the United States
is in Washington and Oregon. The
Lake States region. including Michl-
gan, Wisconsin and Minnesota, is
logged out; so is the southern belt
which comprises northern Alabama
western parts of West Virginia, the
eastern part of Texas, Arkansas, and
the southern part of Missouri In a
very few years, more than at present,
the people of the United States will
be looking to the Pacific northwest for
much of their lumber.
I'VE must learn now to handle our
forests with regard to the future crop,
that is, cutting to a diameter limit,
and not leaving the land to revert
back to the state for taxes. as has
been the policy of many of the lum-
Der companies of the lake region. The
high prices for lumber will make it
possible to leave trees having q dia-
meter of from - TO % inches for the
future crop. Then these developing
tracts of forest land should be kept
out, and laws should be vigorously en-
forced preventing the cutting down OF
the trees till they have grown to the
right size. All this means of course
q great need for skilled foresters. and
a considerable expense, but it will be
to perpetuate the rich forests of the
Pacific northwest, and every dollar
will return to the people doubled and
trebled."

SENATORIAL ADVERTISING.

The campaign of Jonathan Bourne
for the United States senate, in 1906,
will always stand as a living demon
stratioL of the virtue of newspaper ad-
vertising.
1t is hoped that other aspirants to
the senatorial toga initiate Senator
Bourne's wise and modern methods in
getting before the people.
Already one candidate in Oregon is
using calendars, bearing a photograph
of himself as an advertisement. This
is most precarious method ard is
money wasted. This candidate could
talk to thousands of newspaper read
ars, at the same cost of money and
time, through a newspaper article,
while he is talking to but one through
Il calendar picture.
Every thinking man now reads one
or more newspaper and every voter in
papers. Billboard advertising is not
dignified nor attractive. Senatorial
candidates, as we'll as grocers, or hard
ware men, can reach the most intelli-
gent and largest number of people
through legitimate newspaper advertis
ing. 1t is the only practical means of
publicity. All others have failed.-East

BURNS PUT UP
A GOOD FIGHT
BUT CANS WAS TOO STRONG AND
WON AFTER TWENTY
FAST ROUNDS.

LOS AN6ELf-S, 1dl., sept. Zo.-1H
one of the hardest fought battles ever
! witnessed by the Los Angeles fight
fans Joe Cans defeated George
| (Messic) Burns after 20 rounds of fu-
rious fighting.
The fight as seen by the thousands
of enthusiastic ring follower was
Cans from the start, and only for
the little blind god of chance which
followed Burns throughout the fight,
the Scotchman would have taken the
| count long before the twentieth round.
The blow which at last closed the big
fight was delivered by the husky ne
gro to Burns stomach. 1t was hard
and straight, and was the deciding
blow of the big fight game.
Clever fighting marked every round.
The rushing was done, for the most
part, by Burns, Cans, awaiting a
chance to land a knock out earlier.
Both men tipped the scales at 1873
pounds and were in excellent condition
for the bout. Their appearance in the
ring created unusual enthusiasm, and
they We're greeted by rounds of cheers.
The fight started off furiously from
the start. Cans seemingly having the
better of Burns, landing several severe
blows on neck and face. In the third,
on Burns head and stomach. During
the next four rounds the result broka
about even, both men landing hard
blows repeatedly. In the eighth and
tenth, the game grew faster. Both
men fought furiously and wrestled in
the clinches. Cans landed left to the
jaw ard Burns more than made up
by shower of lefthand jabs 10 face
and neck. At the close of the tenth
round, Cans looked all to the good.
Burns was bleeding about the mouth
and nose. The crowd cried for Burns,
but the Scotchmas was going fast.
In the twelfth round Cans toyed with
Burns who KEEP up his furious rush
ing. Cans was cool and collected, while
his opponent fought like a youngster.
The negro was at his best during this
stage of the game and kept Burns in
perfect daze by his merciless left jabs
to face. Burns grew weak and tired
but managed to rush regardless of the
results.
In the sixteenth round Cans began to
work for a knockout, still keeping
Burns at arms length and showering
him with rapid blows.
Burns ran for Cans in the nineteenth.
and the negro almost won his knockout
by iabbing Burns two hard rights in
the jaw. Burns forced Cans to jump
away in his wild rushes. During the
last minute of the twentieth round,
Cans landed right with sickening
force to the stomach, which forced
Burns to cling to Cans gloves to keep
from falling.
Cans was given the decision.

And passengers all are we,
To a country which lies very close to

And which all are quite certain to
Every night at midnight we reach d

But never a halt is made;
Our revolving car rolls on and on,
Thus our train is never delayed
Near some travellers destination
Our company oft you will find;
Be it morn or noon, he departs from
our midst,
But his cloak he leaves behind.
This garment by friends is then taken
And tenjerly laid away
Tis it's owners, and he shall yet wear
Though just when, I'm unable to say.
Distinctly, l e'er can remember,
When mother was summoned to go.
We children, as we'll as dear father
Drank deeply of sorrow and woe.
Then sister arrived at the station,
Where she too. of us must take leave,
Twas gladly she went to join mother
Yet we at her absence did grieve
And last but not not least, from our
circle
Baby Lyssie was taken away,
By One who e'er loved little children
Whose presence turns night into day.

And blest as he never had been,
For the Friend III whose bosom he
nestles.
Dwells far from the shadows of sin.
And you, gentle mother, and sister,
Can now gaze on the face of the
King,
Whom, though not having known you
had trusted,
Whose praises you oft used to sing
We shall all reach the end of our jour-
ney,
Then our car will revolve no more.
Thrice happy, whose home is the king
dom of light,
For him endless joys are in store.
