The "eoys in Grey" what means the
phrase?
Is it a title meant for praise?
Or does it mean the silver threads
That time and care wrought on their
heads?
All! time and care, and with II pain,
The battle strife, the eaden rain
Each, as mementos of the fight,
Has left a silver thread of white.
Behold them seated round their fires"
Thank God for these, our noble sires;
Your work is done-rest while you may,
All honor to the Boys in Grey.
In Grey? In blue you once were known
When on the field your armor shone;
A splendid line of brave men all,
Each ready for the bugle caii.
II came-and sprjnging to the call,
Each rifle sent a deadly BAN;
Then-forWard! meet them hano TO
Enosee with steel the rebel band.
Can pen describe a wearied moan
Or artist paint dying groan!
If not their cunning then is iost
For that is what our Union COST
MANY were called but few remain
To claim our love-enJoy the gam
Then come and let us gladly say
Three cheers for all "The soys !"

First Baptist church of this CITY,
preached the annual Memorial SER
mon to the Grand Army of the he

and the local military company last
night. The services were held In the
Centenary Methodist church and the
three organizations heretofore men
toned attended in a body. me

ting such a service was sung by the
Methodist choir. Assisting in the
services were Rev. w. r. Keesey OF
the Centenary church, Rev. Edward
Constant of the Congregational

Rev. Hobbs delivered a sermon
which was particularly apt for such

to his hearers. His sermon was
based on the text THE Last Enemy
That Shall Be Abolished Is Death"
His sermon, in brief, follows.
Significance of the Day.
! every year the significance of
Memorial Sunday and of Memorial
Day increases. The growing number
of those who are passing away ana
the added age of the surviving lend
seriousness to the thought. We must
encourage proper observance OF the
days but in our country has arisen
a generation which knows not the
meaning of this memorial.
1--WE, whose lives have in some
way come in touch with that great
struggle of fifty years ago, who have
at home, or in some far-oH battle
field the graves of relatives, must do
what we can to honor the memory of
the men who so willingly offered
their lives for the preservation OF the
Union.

LANDS FORFEITED TO

Portland Ore. Aug 14-Twenty
thousand acres of land in Coos coun-
ty Oregon, WAS today ordered forfeit
ed to the United States from the A.
C. Smith Lumber company in de-
cree signed by Federal Judge Robert
S. Beane. The forfeiture was made
as a settlement under the innocent
purchaser" statute, passed by con
gress to protect purchasers of timber
lands from the Oregon and California
Railroad company, which had acquir-
ed the lands under a government
grant.
The defendant timber company had
purchased the land in one large block
from the railroad company, paying
more for it than So. so per acre. Und-
er the terms Of the land grant, the
Oregon and California railway was au.
thorized to sell these lands to actual
settlers only, in blocks OF 100 arces

sEEPAGE LOSS AT STATE DAM

An article has appeared In Logan,
Utah paper under date OF July rs, 1913
stating that Mr.. Porter Of the Water
Resources Branch of the U. s. Geo
logical Survey has determined loss
of not less than IA second feet OF wat.
er by seepage through the reservoir
created by the state dam on the Lo-
gan river. Owing to the Importance
Of the investigation now being car.
ried on by the Salt Lake Office Of the
Geological Survey to ascertain the
loss Of water, If any, through the res
ervoir on the Logan River, the results
of such investigation cannot be det-
ermined until a much later date, and
Furthermore, no data can be given to
the press except through official state
ments given out by the Salt Lake Of
flee.
Cages have been established both
above and below the State Dam which
| furnish continuous records of dis
charge. and from which It will be pos
BILE to determine the loss, II any,
within the distance between the gag
ing stations. The operation Of the
| Utah Power and Light Company's
plant and the manipulation of the
flash boards on the State Dam cause
a temporary storage or release OF rv-
ar water from hour to hour every day,
! so that measurements taken at amy
| given time might indicate an appar-
ent gain or loss Of water depending on
the release or storage of such waters
at that particular time. The determi.
/ nation Of permanent loss or gain of
water must, therefore, be based on
observations extending over b long
length of time in which the fluctuat
! ions caused by local use can be eli
minated. Much time must be allowed
for the collection and study of data
AS result, the general public should
understand the necessity of the Geo
logical Survey retaining all prelimin
airy data on al confidential basis unit
sufficient information has been secur
ed to determine a final and accurate
result. Until final determinations
have been made, the Salt Lake Office
can issue no information concerning
this important problem further tina,

gress which will lead In due time t.
