two wagon bridges across the
Siletz river below the Agency. a
petition to the County Court
asking for these bridges was pre-
sented to the Court at it's ses-
sion last week. 1t is estimated
these two bridges will cost be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000. These
bridges will cut the distance be-
tween the Lower Farm country

and will be a great benefit to the
residents of that rich farming

bridges will be built this Sum-

line, on a glorious spring morning.
Meantime the second ord,r had been
sent and carried about, but somehow
1t failed to reach the regiment of col
ored cavalry which had then for sew
eral weeks been in the command or
Colonel Adams. They were posted on
the extreme right Of the Union line,
and they obeyed an earlier request
from General Deyens and it was the
only order OF which they knew any
thing, that they advance into the city,
and thus this colored regiment, headed
by the grandson OF n president and
the great.grandson OF another, earned
for itself a share OF the glory Of that
morning.

FIRST TROOPS TO
ENTER RICHMOND
Thirteenth Regiment OF New
Hampshire Volunteers Lays
Claim to the Honor.

TOR many years there was discus
sion OF the claims OF several bod
les Of Union troops for the honor
Of having been first into Richmond,
the capital Of the Confederacy, on
April 8, 1865, a few hours, or possibly
only an hour, after the last men OF
the gray had filed out OF the city.
The chief claimants for the honor
have been the Thirteenth regiment OF
New Hampshire volunteers, Of which
John NJ. Woods, former mayor Of Som.
erville and now department comman.
der of the Massachusetts G. A. r.. was
a member, and the body OF colored
cavalry. the Fifth Massachusetts, and
that day led by Charles Francis
Adams, son OF the then minister to
England.
There has been much said, and there
was much to say, on both sides. The
actual priority would seem to belong
to the New Hampshire regiment, and
some OF the facts Of the story Of that
great day are summarized here.
Informal Surrender.
The mayor Of Richmond with some
of the citizens met General Weitzel a
little before seven that morning a little
outside the limits OF the city. To that
point there had advanced a detach.
ment OF Union pickets, perhaps 60 to
20 men. Here an informal surrender
took place.
Then General Weitzel and his staff
proceeded into the city. followed by
Lieutenant Prescott and his force OF
pickets. and preceded by a squad OF
the generals orderlies from the
Fourth Massachusetts, cavalry, com.
manded by Major A. II. Stevens. The
general established his headquarters,
az is well known, in the house which
Jefferson Davis had made the White
House Of the southern states. James
Ford Rhodes says that the evacuation
was completed by seven in the morn
ing. and Nicolay and Hay say that
Lieutenant Prescott reached capitol
square soon after that hour.
General Weitzel zoo sent back an
aide with orders to get the first bri'
gade he could find and bring 1t In to
act as a provost guard. At the same
time he sent word for all the rest OF
the troops TO remain outside the city
and take possession OF the inner line
OF Confederate defenses.
Marched into City.
The first brigade met by the aide
proved to be Gen f. II, Ripley's brt
gade OF Gen. Charles Deyens' division
Of the Twenty.fourth army corps. This
brigade was headed by Devens with
the New Hampshire regiment to which
John NJ. Woods belonged, They
marched into the city with colors fly
ing and bands playing and reached the
capitol some time between eight and

But McmOry's eternal green
Is rooted In their dust.

MEMORIAL DAY
ANCIENT CUSTOM
Ceremonies Can Be Traced Back
to the Very Earliest Days
of Civilization.

MEMORIAL day, celebrated in al
IN most every state of our Union,
has been set apart by statute as
a special day for decorating the graves
of the nations soldiers and for hold
ing appropriate exercises in their
memory. While it originally sprang
from a spontaneous desire to do honor
to the heroes who fell in the Civil
war, still it is now celebrated in honor
of all the soldier dead, that theis hero
isms and sacrifices may never be for
gotten.
1t is interesting to trace the origin
Of this holiday, for, like many another
modern institution, 1t goes back to the
early days of civilization. We have
been celebrating it with a special sig
%nificance for years, and yet, upon eX-
aiming it, we find the adaptation OF
an ancient custom rather than the eX.
preston Of a new idea. In fact, days
set aside for ceremonies to honor the
dead are so intimately connected with
all races that they seem inseparable
from the practices Of civilization.
The pagan Greeks held sacred rites
at the graves of their dead called Zoai
and made offerings of olives and flow.

head of the grave, ana If q bloom

sidered a sign of the happiness of the

In Rome a similar festival was held
for several days in February. 1t was
known as the P~arentalia. During this
celebration the temples were closed
and the last day offerings were made
at the tombs. These consisted Of
milk. honey, fruit, wine and other
things, while flowers of every variety
were used In profuse decoration.
The Druids held a memorial service
in the autumn on the eve of the
Thanksgiving feast, while the ancient
people Of Japan and China had n scrv-
ice for the dead called the Feast OF
Lanterns.
After the various nations embraced
Christianity this custom became more
widespread and the nature of its cele-
bratiOn changed materially, The spir-
itual side of the day became the upper
most feature, and this led directly to
the founding OF All Souls day. This
Is observed In our own country strict
ly in a religious manner, but in many
places in Europe 1t includes the deco.

spiritual exercises. In France for sew.

ed, and ven in a corner OF p~otter's
field one will find a token OF rcmem-
brance for the most neglected one.
Another interesting feature is the plac.
Ing Of n lighted lamp at the foot OF
the graves. The lamps are usually
taken to the graves as evening draws
on, and often the people stay and
kneel there in silent meditation. The
colored garlands and the Pickering
lights present a strange and novel
sight.
All Had Graves to Decorate.
Our Memorial day Is in truth moth.
ing more than a secular All Souls day.
1t owes its origin to the women Of the
South, who began the practice Of deco.
rating their graves less than two years
after the close OF the Civil war. That
struggle OF four years had kept our
country In a constant state of commo.
tion and excitement. Every part OF
the nation had contributed its men,
young and old, to the conflict. When
