the most poignant grief, has softened.
These are not new-made graves we
garland for over them all nature has
already spread the memorials of her
love. They have received the benedic-
ton Of her sunshine and her tears and
above them her vines and grasses have

1.-THE Civil war ended long ago, and
but a remnant of the Grand army of
veterans remains. Those spared to
life's activities are worn by the raw
ages of time and weakened by wound
and disease. Soon will the lone sur
vivor be gathered to the silent portals,
and the annual march of the boys in
blue become but a memory Other lips
and other hands will perform the SER
vice of love and decoration that be-
longs to the heritage of the soldier. But
the army of the soldier dead will be
with us as long as patriotism swells
the heart, its camp fires burn as long
as liberty lives. Time enr ches their
memories, and to the farthest day the
heroes who gave their lives for their
country will b honored by grateful
posterny"

When he found that the people were
calling the devices bad names he just
simply adhered to the mistake which
had been made so as not to introduce
further confusion in the matter. The
faithful copiers, who have religiously
followed suit, remind one a great deal
of that young man in London who dis
guised himself as the Prince of wales
and rode in the park on DONKEY

youth of London promptly did the
same thing.
Aeroplane has now commonly come
to be the word which covers the mui-
titude of sins that are committed IN
the name of aeronautics. Within TINS
type there are many variations known
by specific names. The three forms
which are most important are the pl-
planes. triplanes and monoplanes'
They have all managed to soar
The biplanes type of aeroplane has
been brought to it's greatest perfection
by TIE Wrights. 1t is called biplahe
because it consists of two sets Oh
planes, the upper and the lower dechS'
which sustain the machine while II ID
in flight An incidentally large num-
Der of dissinilar experiments nave
proven that this type is up to the pres
ent form the most useful form deVlseu'

one deck or one set of planes. IL HES

stability The triplane has three decks

clumsiness and unnecessary complex
ity.
If you keep these types distinct!
fixed in your mind you will never nave
very much difficulty in determining
which is which. There may he diileI
ences in construction that may confuse
you, but if you always remember tiiat
the type of the machine with rlsiu
planes depends upon the number anu
disposition of its planes you can solve
the puzzle quickly.

That no word has been received
from the men in charge of the dogs
gives rise to the supposition that in
following the trail of the missing boy,
the hounds have led their masters seV :
eral miles from the neighborhood to q
locality where telephone communica-
ton is not obtainable.
A report from the Mccoy ranch
near Ferndale this afternoon, was to
the effect that the dogs have done
poor work in picking up the trail Of
the missing lad, and a posse may be
organized to continue the search.
Many express the belief that Earl

along the river during the night, and
was drowned. No trace of the boy
has been found, and the dogs seem
unable to piak up the scent.

SPOKANE. May 31-The span OF
the Commercial Trust company's
bridge from the business section OF
Lewiston to the Holbrook island has
been carried away by the flood waters

ture Mr. Darwin was carried down

cUed before being carried down the
river any considerable distance.
The false work of the Kamiah wag'
on bridge was carried away. entailins
a loss of several hundred dollars to the
construction company.
The big loss 10 the bridge compan!

because Of the high water, it is ex
pected that the work of restoring tn
false work can not be commenced TO
several weeks.
