S|DEuGHTS OF GETTYSBURG REUNION

The great reunion of the blue and
the gray on the battlefield Of Gettys-
burg has passed into history. 1t was
in all respects the most unique gath
4ring of the soldiers of the eos over
held. Men who fought each other
flfty years ago this year fraternised
- long-separatsd brothers. Naturally
such 4 gathering would bs productive
OF many Incidents. both pathetic and
humorous. Az many stories were
floating about - there were veterans
at the reunion.
The camp is full of unexpected
meetings. Every day brings forth nu-
merous meetings between men who
have not seen one another for many
years. Many are commonplace. but
some are extraordinary. For In
stance, here is one:
I. D. Munsee Of Erie county. Penn
sylvania. a soldier in the 111th Penn
sylvania, was captured by the con-
federates at Peachtree Greek, Ga.
when he was one Of Sherman's army
on the celebrated march to the sea.
He was being conveyed to the rear
by q confederate soldier when the
union batteries opened fire upon the
party among whom he was . pris-
oner. The man who was guarding
Munsee was hit and fell, knocking
Munsee down and lying on top Of
him.
Seeing his chance Of escape, Mum
see lay very still under the uncon-
scious confederate while tho battle
ragged around them. That night he
slipped from under the body and es-
capped to the union lines.
"I thought that fellow was dead."
said Munsee, "but I saw him today.
Poor fellow, his minds bad. and he
didn't recognize me, but 1 was sure Of
him. couldn't even get his name, but
I'm goin over later to the Georgia
camp and try to find out who he H."
Here 10 . story which was told BY
4 T. Dice, vice-president Of the Read
ing railway:
Once upon . dme there were = vet
eran In gray and q veteran in blue.
They came to Gettysburg and in the
course Of events and visits to hotels
they happened to meet. They looked
over the sights Of Gettysburg and the
monuments of the field. But they
found they must part.
The ono in blue lived in Oregon;
The one in gray in New Orleans. They
went weeping together to their sta
tdon and passed by train after train.
defe,ring the parting that must come.
Just what they said. Just how they
reached the final grand idea OF the
meeting, Mr.. Dice did not know.
But however. yesterday they finally
decided that the time for parting had
coma. The one from Oregon could
not figure how to reach home via New
Orleans and his gray comrade, while
willing to see the west didn't have
the money for ticket.
They lined upon on the platform -
thar trains stood waiting and then
h.sore the crowd they slowly stripped
on their uniforms and exchanged
them there while the curious f1ocked
to see them.
The Oregonian who came proudly to
town with coat Of blue, went as
proudly away with one OF gray ana
Tho veteran from Louisiana who boast
ad the gray Of the south sat with
.we,,ine chest in his new uniform OF
blue.

Only One Train South.

Considerable complaint is heard
among local business men because there
is only one opportunity to send mail
south each day. The Shasta Limited,
leaving Salem at 6;3s p, M, is the only
southbound train to be depended upon
to carry mail and while there are other
southbound trains carrying mail it is
said that the mail is never taken to
such trains. AS the arrangements now
stand, it is alleged that southbound
letter dropped in down town box af-
ter 6 o'clock, would not leave Salem un.
til 6:3S the following evening. The
matter is causing much unfavorable
criticism.

SAYS TEDDY'S PARTY
IS ABOUT WIPED OUT
Idaho Man Tells How Republican Gov.
ernOr and Legislature Left Moth
ing to Kick About.

J. A. BloInquist and A. z. Ramstedt,
who have been here from Boise, Idaho,
to investigate the system of conducting
the offices of the railroad commission
and tax commission, left for home this
afternoon. They have acquired lot of
knowledge which will be of great value
to them in carrying on the work of the
new utilities commission and tax COM
mission Of the state of Idaho.
Idaho is enjoying a healthy growth,
Mr.. Blomquist stated, and while the
immigration is not nearly so heavy as
that coming to Oregon, the development
Of the state is rapid.
"The so-called Progressive party has
been practically wiped out in Idaho"
said Mr.. Blomquist today. "Governor
Haynes, Republican, got so many Pro
gressive measures through the legisla.
ture during the last session that there
is practically nothing left to kick
about. In the legislature the Progress
sive party men lost their identity COM
|pletely. Only handful of Democrats
had been elected, and the Republicans,
with large working majority in both
houses, enacted some of the most radi.
cally Progressive reform measures in
the history of the state.
"The Democrats are badly split, fol-
lowing the fight over patronage, and
heavy party losses are predicted. Be-
cause of the quarrels of former Senator
Dubois and others, patronage worth
about 100000 year remains in the
hands of Republicans. The deadlock
seems likely to continue indefinitely. 1"
The Idaho men deeply appreciated
the courtesies extended them by the
railroad commission and tax commission
here.
