The Seniors Farewell
To Delta High School.


Farewell old school, as drops tear,
Upon thy threshold, others on the coming
Return, but we return no more;
No longer on the gridiron force our::way,
No longer hold the other line at bay,
No longer on thy diamond chase the:ball,
Thy books. thy sports we iong.for all;
No longer at thy wisdom's fountain drink
our draught,
Or from the under-class men hold aloft.
And, thou. 10 Comus," who hath often led
Our boys in play or knowledge fed,
Oft hath thou helped us on our way along.
Though thy years are many thou art young
and strong:
And thou. who with thy strong will and
stronger vein
Held the throttle and guided on our train,
Should e'er we win, we could well afford
To share with thee our glory or reward;
And each of those who always seem
Tender. true, majestic-every inch n queen :;
And he who urged us ever to our task
Then jested with us after 1t was past;
And fellow stuGents we bid farewell once
more.
Yet hold you in our memory evermore.
Our road in many paths divides
Our tasks once one, are now diversified;
II glory, fame or duty on us walt
We Will not pause or hesitate;
Yet, you may know, whene'er our names
read,
That. of us, 1t might we'll be said,
They hunt in vain and MANY haunts explore
For as happy days as those that are no more.

A Benefit of Frost.

All things work together for
good" said F. b. Quinlan. one of
the prominent fruit growers of Ash
mesa. the other day. Before the
recent frost green lice were attack
ing the trees in manner which
'.reated considerable alarm. But the
recent cold snap seems to have
loved too much for them and they
',re now nearly all gone. When its
value as a thinner is considered.
most of the fruit growers did not
break worse than even on the
frost.' Mr.. Quinlan says he will
have good fruit crop this year

Soldiers Of the Civil War.

From the official records the fol-
lowing interesting figures are given
regarding the age, numbers, fatali-
ties and patriotism of the soldiers
of the civil war:
The following are the agese of
the Union boys who fought in the
civil war from 1851 to 1866:
There were 6S2,117 who were
over 81 years of age; 1,159,7S1 21
years and under; S44,S81 were II
years old and under; 231.O51 were
1.6 years and under; 104. 9S7 were
5 years old and under; 1923 were
J. years and under. 200 were 13
years and under; PTS were IL years
and under. There were 2,S41,9O6
men and boys sworn into the defense
oi their country during the civil war
in the United States. The extreme
youth of these patriots is one of the
most remarkable records in the an
nails of the worlds warfare. The
men who re-inlisted are counted
twice as there is no practical way
TO estimate the actual number of in
dividuals persons. Nearly three
iourths of the men who stood in
the Union ranks in the civil war
were native-born Americans. The
others were of the best and bravest
blood of fellow nations. There We're
more than seven thousand battles
fought on land and sea.
There were 6,354 officers and no.
fO5 enlisted men killed or died of
wounds; 2,712 officers and 197,OOS
enlisted men died of disease. max
ing total of 359,52S deaths. The
confederate losses were not SO heavy
as those of the Union army, who
were the assailants. The cost of
the war was S6.1S9, ,929,9OS. There
are 241, ,53s boys in blue sleeping in
the National cemeteries in the South
land. Over one-half of these graves
are marked unknown" At Ander-
sonville. Georgia, there sleeps 49,
OOOwho died of starvation and dis
ease rather than desert the flag
and the Union. This is a great re-
cord and shows how devoted the
Union soldier was to his flag and his
country.

The Stock Slump.

Yesterday the interstate commerce
commission announced its decision in
q series of cases involving railroad
freight rates on the Pacific coast These
cases were heard several months ago.
and have been under consideration I'M
til the present time. The railroads
were ordered to reduce their rates ma
terially. the commission having found
that gross determinations were prac-
ticed against certain communities and
certain classes Of shippers. AS soon as
the news of this decision reached Wall
street the bears. who have been having
things pretty much their own way of
late. manifested their pessimistic de-
light in the discontinue of the railway
corporations by hammering down all
classes of securities, railways and in
dustrials. An immense volume of busi-
ness was transacted. considerably over
one million shares theoretically chang
ing hands. Low price levels were es-
tablished. There was no panic, but for
several hours the bull forces were in
serious distress.
Here is a repetition of the familiar
game. There was no good reason for q

collect the columns upon columns Of mat
ter that is poured forth from the train

make an interesting chapter for some

enactments and executive orders which
have closed to the professional bruisers

and which is even now closing it's doors

Drownings.

Drowning accidents have been reported
numerOusly this season and it would seem
that the repeated warnings afforded by
disasters In the past have been unheeded
by great numbers of people. The fas-
cination of the water appears to be too
great for resistance. even with the pos
sibility of death made plain by con-
stantly reported fatalities. Swimmers go
into the dangerous currents. Inexpert
canoists essay swift rapids. Amateurs
take sailboats out upon squall-swept
waters. Rowboats are overcrowded with
pleasure seekers. Skylarkers play pranks
in frail craft and cause capsizings. 1t
would seem that a majority of the peO-
pie who go on the water for recreation
are unable to swim. One non-swimmer
may cause the death Of several other
people.
1t is to be hoped that the day is near
at hand when in all of the public schools
throughout the country lessons will be
given i'm the use of the water. There
should be a natatorium in every place of
public instruction. Lessons in swimming
will be of far greater value to the chill
dren than learning Latin roots and alge-
braic equations. There has been too
much consideration for the mind of the
growing child and not enough for it's
body heretofore In the arrangement of
courses of instruction under the super
vision of the state. A sensible system
of child training should aim at making
the pupil capable of preserving life and
health by individual effort.

patrons by charging them back hAul''
rates on their goods and by imposing
unfair determinations against certain
sections. 1t is uncomfortable that the
railway and industrial systems of this
country are dependent for prosperity
upon attractions of the law. II the
formerly existing range of stock prices
was based upon this sort of good times.
it was we'll that the market fell. There
is no health in the country il its Sc
curities are inflated beyond their real
value in consequence of tricks and de-
vices and fraudulent practices.
But it does not follow that because
one small group of lines has been de-
tected by the United States govern
ment in the imposition of unjust rates
upon a few shippers. all the lines OF
the country are engaged in the same
practice. Nor does it follow that the
large industrial establishments, the
great mills and factories, are menaced
with bad times. There is no sugges-
ton in this decision of the interstate
commerce commission that the crops
are going to fail or that money Will be
tight, or that public confidence will be
seriously shaken. There is, in short, no
suggestion that distressing season
of panic is due. merely because con-
ditions reported nearly year ago
have led TO an apparently justified jul
dicial determine ton, the effect of which
will ultimately be an encouragement
of traffic on the lines now directly at
fected.
The truth of the matter is that wall
street is engaged in the familiar proc
ess of slumping. 1t is not necessary
to believe in the near approach OF
countrywide distress and stringency to
account for this spectacle. The pendu-
Ium has swung for low prices Of COM
modities which are in no degree to be
rated among the necessities or i1Ie'
the buying and selling of which is not
essential to the national welfare and
the exchange of which is chiefly
process of quickly transferring 1unos
from one set of owners to another
without contributing in the least to the
wealth or the industry or the happi-
ness of the people.
