MEMORIAL DAYS
BY Mrs. F, P. Hacker.

Memorial days have been adopted,
on the same hay Of The month each
year.
Business laid aside, addresses rs
tened to and the graves of the sold
ier dead strewn VITA flowers.
When this generation Of children
ask what this really means what the
war was for, why did all these men
leave homelike conditions for the
lshardships of open fields, mire and
mud to be shot by otner men suffer
ing the same privations and endur.
ing the same sacrifices Shall We
tell them that every man South OF
"Masons and Dixon's" line who /, de-
cided not to fight for "union" was Il
traitor, deserving to be hung, ana
that every man month OF that line VINO
died fighting for Union was patriot
with passport to eternal felicity?
Shall we tell them all the Union
soldiers were volunteers, no drafted
men, no substitutes, no bountyjump-
ers, no deserters, not coward among
them, all brave; that every army con-
tractor was honest, thar every horse
and mule sold to the army was sound,
blankets warm and provisions pure;
thar none were mean enough 10 cal.
culate in the blood of soldiers, tho
tears of widows and orphansr
Tell them the truth, if deceived
when young they will be undeceived
when they read history.
Tell them tnat for ten years prior
to the war there We're two political
parties, both under the control OF a
combination of men whose ambition
to dominate the whole country knew
no bounds.
Tell them that big business, as it
always does and always will, sided
with the politicians controlling the
party in power.
Tell them that there was no limit
to the greed of gain, the war was
prolongued, thousands of men died
unnecessarily because of unsound
horses and shoddy gods sold TO the
government, gold rose and fell with
victory and defeat Of the Union
Army.

ST. Louis, Mo, May 2S--The forlna.

the Thebes bridge over the tracks
of the st, Louis Southwestern from
Illmo, to Paragould, Ark, over the
Iron Mountain tracks from Paragould
to Ferriday, La, and over the Texas
and Pacific tracks from Ferriday to
New Orleans.
At present heavy freight trains are
taking this route to avoid the grades
in thee Ozark Mountains, but, accord
ing to the plans now under consiIera.
ton, the through passenger trains
will also be moved over the river
route. When the Eudora-Gilbert cut.
off, in Louisiana, is completed from
Collision to Gilbert, the through
trains will run by way of the cutoff.
The Iron Mountain will have two
main lines from st. Louis to points

Texas and Pacific TO Ell paso. The
other will be the river route from ST.

to wipe out slavery under Lincon's
leadership.
Tell them that especially in the
eastern states men had TO be drafted

There were degraded soldiers who

Human nature tnen as now, and
ever will be, a strange mixture.
Tell them the men who staid al
home became rich through depre

Tell them the rank and file Of the
south were honest and patriotic ~
heart Now it is over honor those
who fought for what they believed &c
be right, You might add that human
nature is much the same now as
sixty years ago. The strong and an
bilious now aim to control botn poll
teal parties; no limit to the lust
for honor, for game
Patritism is not to follow blindly
the dictates of any party; the prevail
ing conditions must be studied, ar
irving at definite idea of our duty
then voice that conviction win
tongue, pen and ballot.
The war was mostely fought by
boys under twenty. Those living are
now seventy. A few more yNrs ana
they will be with us no longer, their
memories will receive all honor.
We nonor the living VINO are do
ing the noble thing, who are standing
for the rights of humanity, for the
liberties OF the people--forgood
government, anl who are protesting
against the wrongs of their time.
All this need be told them and
advised to live so that in death they
may be honored.

Another Irritation Scheme.

Observation-Disclosures and Lead
men are working out a scheme which
if put into action will prove of inesti-
mable value to the farming districts
below Whitewood and through which
Whitewood creek runs. For many
years it has been the practice of e
eral mining companies to dump their
tailings into Whitewood creek, and
for this reason it's waters have been
useless to the agricultural lands
through which it passes. A recent in
vention by a Massachusetts man, who
claims to be able to separate the tail
ings so as to discharge clear water
from the plants. is to be tried. Money
has been raised to finance the project
and by this NEAR it is hoped to be
able to irrigate thousands of acres of
land in this and Meade counties now
suffering for water.

Fish Stories.

In your paper Of the 18th inst,
writes a reader to the editor of an
Oregon daily, appears an account Of
two hunters In California liberating a
live fish from a snake as being some
thing unusual. One of my neighbors,
who lives neal the Trask River Falls,
has two big bull snakes that catch
salmon trout and deliver them to a
tub OF water lei the back door step,
alive. every morning for breakfast.
They get in return a dish of warm
milk night and morning. The fam
lily is supplied with fish in this way.
The house is three-quarters of a mile
from the nearest point of the river
and the fish rarely arrive dead.
Two years ago | helped to drive a
bunch Of steers across the divide. and
had to ford the Trask just below the
falls. Naturally the animals stopped
to drink. Last spring a butcher In
Forest Grove extracted a 14-pound
salmon from the stomach of one of
the steers. The salmon was still
alive, and after being kept in salt
water for several days was killed and
sold in the regular market.

II has long been a mystery to the

now known as the Deveaux house,
which is situated in a beautiful park
or North avenue of that city and
maintained as a Huguenet memorial
by the Huguenot association.

on a painstaking search for this bit
of household utility and have at last
discovered the fireplace In the beauti.

Contract is Divided.

sion at its last session divided the
contracts for improvements of the

sented. The work of laying the drive
ways on the grounds was let to the

the water system on the grounds was

struction company of this city; the
contract for the electric conduits for

Andrews Close Call.

Pierre.-Andrew Slime, a young man
from Prairie DuChien, Wis, while Wis
iting relatives in the vicinity of Ora
per, Lyman county, had so close a
call with death that it appears only a
miracle saved his life. He was rid.
ing a horse, when the animal was at
tackled by a vicious bull, and both the
horse and rider pushed over into a
barb wire fence. In the fall Sine was
caught in a loop of the wire which
wound around his neck, and he was
seriously cut by the barbs on the
fence, n cutting a long slash on his
jaw, while other cuts were received
almost the whole way around his neck.
That he escaped without having his
head completely severed from his
body is a source of wonder.
