Vanishing Veterans.

The following splendid tribute to the
G. A. r. veterans will find an echo in
every loyal heart which knows and real
ICES what it means to be a member OF
this patriotic order:
In Chicago a new post Of the G. A. r.
has been formed, which is to have its
meetings on Sunday afternoons.
There is pathos in the explanation
that on account of the increasing phys
ical infirmities the veterans are becoming
unable to attend the night meetings. :.
Therefore the daylight post
The veterans of '6l-'65 are vanishing
host.
One by one-and rapidly-they are
challenging the picket post of Death,
passing through the Wilderness to the
Richmond beyond.
The great leaders have already crossed
the river to the tents of the last Grand
Encampment.
And one by one the rank and file, the
men who touched elbows through dust
and mud and under brassy skies, the
men who saw their comrades piled in
the great winrows of battle-these men
are moving across to the Division be-
yond.
Much water has gone under the
bridges since the days when these men
challenged tne admlratlon OIL tneir con
temporaries forty years ago.
Grant and Sherman and Sheridan
and Hancock and Logan are with that
division!
This generation does not know them
save as tottering relics Of bygone day.
Their age has passed. 1t was the
heroic age
1t is long cry back to the time when
the beardess boy took the last sweeping
look around the old place; the last drink
from the old well; kissed his mothers
hand and "God bless you, my boy"
marched down in the line of blue and
went to meet the line of gray.
This generation does not know Of
those brave old days of old save as it
reads of them in history. Do we honor
these vanishing veterans as they de
serve?
How the French people loved and re-
vered the gray old mustachios CT the
Invaledes- sacred relics of Borodino
and Waterloo Was it sentimentality?
II so it was good kind.
But the Union veteran has some
compensation. The government he
saved will take care OF his bodily wants.
1t will not let himsstarve.
He fought a winning fight and he
succeeded. And history will do him
justice With him there is no mourn
ing for lost cause. And so in peace
and quiet the Union veteran fights his
battles DER and waits with patience for
the sounding OF the last bugle call

Editor Tribune,

May 8, 1908.
Editor Tribune,
Elbert, Colo
Dear Sir: l will now keep my promise
to write in the spring. Spring seeding
is practically finished here, except pota-
toes. The soil was in fine condition for
work. Oats are beginning to show
green in the fields and winter wheat is
looking fine, covering the ground. Pas
lures are green except where the old
grass hides the new crop from view. 1t
began raining yesterday at four o'clock
and is still raining today at noon-a
steady soaking rain. 1t is alright for
the crops and grass, but is drawback
for me, as it interferes with my burning
operations. l shall not try to put out
much crop this year as crops do not do
well on new land, it must be broke a
year. Instead of clearing and burning
the brush and logs, then seeding, as it
used to be done in the eastern states,
we clear, burn and plow, then let lie un-
til fall and SOW wheat, or the uext spring
for oats and barley.
Alberta is a new country; as self
governing province it is only three years
old. There are thousands of acres of
uusurveyed land in the province and a
large amount of unexplored. The pio-
ers in this vicinity have been here
from ten to 10 years, while the most Of the
inhabitants have not been here the three
years necessary to make final proof.
The conditions are similar, / should
guess, to the conditions around Elbert
% or 80 years ago, only here the govern
ment land is all taken and the railroad
lands are being steadily bought up.
Land here with little or no improvements
is selling at SO to s15 per acre
enclose clipping from the Nor
West Farmer, which treats of this i'm
mediate vicinity central Alberta), and
is authentic. 1t may be too long for
publication, but it will give you some
facts to go on.
Yours truly,

London. April 1S.-The short week or trading on the Stock Exchange mas revealed l.ttIe of interest.
 The approach of the holidays checked fresh 'nmitments and values crum- bied slowly until Thursday, when ch heerfuiness prevailed. the gold ship naents from America hardened consols and the market taking a more nope fui view of the labor dispute in the north of England, marked up home rails the earlier losses in these seeuri- ties being largely recovered.
 American securities were dull ana sninterestinR. The uncertainty of the New York market caused narrow and irregular movements and the trading was purely professional. vnlues zen" ereIIy closed from g noint hlgher to 8 point lower than last Saturday.
 The market has become more inter esting owing to the hAripninG nf gold ehipnents from New York to Europe.
