They're going fast. the ranks now thin
viii soon be wiped away.
We soon shall miss tlIe forms now bent
And aged heads now gray;
The failing eye and falt'ring step
Fond hearts cannot restore,
They soon will pass beyond the clouds,
Where parting is no more,
And with the other heroes who
Gave all TO save this land
They will report TO God high.
To serve in His command.
Indeed, each year we celebrate.
We note some missing face
Some veteran is absent from
His old accustomed place;
Some wearer of the old sIouch hat
And uniform Of blue.
Has fallen out OF earthly rank
Has bid his last adieu;
Their mounds grow rapidly today,
Their headstones multiply
The old Grand Army's passing ont
They cannot time defy,
In just few brief seasons and
No more they will he here.
The last roll call will have been made,
And all will disappear;
Death Wall be victor--though defeat
To theLl Will mean the most
For they will gain eternal peace
With Gc&, the Holy Ghost,
And so, wlan all have passed beyond
The scenes of earthly strife
TO their rewhd, Ia blissful rest
To everlasting life
Who then will decorate the graves
That we bedeok today:
Who then will sing their praises
The Thirtieth Oh May:
Who then will tell the story how
In battle they behaved:
Who then will give them credit for
Our country that tAeY saved?
All. friends, time soothes the aching wounds
Too fast, | am afrskl
We do not seem to fuhy grasp
The Union soldiers aN-
The blood they gave, the lives they lost,
The t0rtures they went through
For this republic and its flag
The old Red, White and Blue
We cannot praise too much their deeds
With voice with our ppu,
We can't extOl nor laud too uHclr
Those brave and loyal men.
so let Us teach our children
In a ferveni, ardent way
Twas they who made this counsry
what IL represents today;
And ii We do dfsloyalty
Can hnd no place 10 stand
But peace instead will here abide
In our dear native land
And when this day comes round cach1year
This custom will survive
so long as grateful progeny
On earth shall be alive:
No patriot-if such he be
Can pass unnoticed by
The consecrated ground in which
Ihelt mortal bodies lie.

the matter under advisement
However the real sensation of the
meeting occurred before the retiring
Board finished its labors, when a sum-
mons to appear before the district
court was served on Clerk McWilliams
and kochevar as attorney. This was
sworn to by II. +. Trampe, taxpay-
er, alleging that the contemplated pur-
chase Of the Eastman garage for SILL
900 was a crime and should be pre-
vented and stopped. The summons
recited that the garage was not worth
over $500, and that it would create an
Indebtedness which the commissioners
were not authorized to do without a
vote of the people. As there was no
injunction connected with the warrant
serving, Messrs Whalen, Sullivan and
Knowles were unanimous in ordering
the warrant issued, declaring that it
was an expenditure unquestionably
needed and was a good buy. How
ever, after the meeting, it developed
that Clerk McWilliams refused to is

still held up. The matter will come MP

Wild Game
Must Be Fed

Game is being fed like domestic
animals in the Gunnison country.
Jack Jennings informs US that a large
herd of deer is being fed on Taylor
River and in the Jacks Cabin locality.
The early heavy SHOWS have covered
up nearly all forage that wild ami
mails generally subsist on. this makes
it necessary for the game wardens 10
take proper steps in relieving the
animals in their starved condition. It
is reported that numerous elk and
deer are on the point of starvation in
the lower parts of the county. The
animals have receeded down to al
titudes and localities where they are
seldom seen in normal years. The
ranchmen and public in general have
demonstrated the right kind of spirit
by relieving the situation and notify
ing game wardens where feeding is
necessary. Great vigilance on the part
of game wardens and rangers are
necessary in such emergencies as are in
evidence this year, in order to prevent
heavy loss of our precious game
animals. In former years the lower
ranges were open and unoccupied by
settlers, which gave the game n win
Ter range anu EeluSe, WHICH Is NOt
now the case. Even If such areas are
now visited by the game animals, the
forage has been consumed by domest-
ic animals earlier in the season.
,Sapinero folks report that the large
herd of $50 deer which always winters
on Soap creek is already down on the
bluffs and close to the railroad track
altho it is two months ahead of the
season for them that low. The frs,
