When he read the newspaper Item about the

finch. the poet again. and In 1867 there ap-
1eared In the Atlantic Monthly this poem:
THE BLUE AND THE GRAY
BY the flow of the inland river,
Whence the fleets Of iron have fled.
Where the blades Of the gravegrass culver,
Asleep are the ranks Of the dead:
Under the sod and the dew.
Waiting the judgment-day;
Under the one, the Blue,
Under the other, the Gray.
These In the robings Of glory,
Those In the gloom Of defeat,
All with the battlebood CORY,
In the dusk Of eternity meet:
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment-day;
Under the laurel. the Blue,
Under the willow, the Gray.
From the silence of sorrowful hours
The desolnte mourners go.
Lovingly lauenywith flowers
Alike for TIE friend and the foes
Under the sod and the dew.
Waiting the judgEient-day;
Under the roses, the Blue.
Under the lilies the Gray
So with an equal splendor,
The morning sun-rays fall.
With touch lmpartially tender,
on the blossoms blooming for all:
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment-day;
Broldered with gold, the Blue,
Melowed with gold the Gray.
So when the summer caleth,
On forest and field Of grain,
With an equal murmur falleth
The cooling drip Of the rain:
Under the sod and the dew
Waiting the Judgment-day;
Wet with the rain, the Blue
Wet with the rain. the Gray.
Sadly but not with upbraidng,
The generous deed was DONE
In the storm Of the years that are fadln9
No drawer battle was won.
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment-day:
Under the blossoms, the Blue,
Under the garlands, the Gray.
No more shall the war-cry sever,
Or the winding rIveps be red;
They banish>~ur angel forever
When they laufcA tFe graves Of our dead:
Under the sod and Ne dew,
Waiting the judgmVnt-day
Love and tears for tie Blue,
Tears and love for the Gray.

TIE BiVoUAc OF THE DEAD
The muffled drums sad roll has beat
The soldiers Inst tattoo,
No more on life's parade shall meet
That brave and fallen few.
On Fames eternal camping-ground
Their silent tents are spread,
And Glory guards, with solemn round,
The bivouac Of the dead.
No rumor Of the foes advance
Now swells upon the wind;
No troubled thought at midnight haunts
OF loved ones left behind;
No vision Of the morrow's strife
The warriors dream alarms,
No braying horn nor screaming fife
At dawn shall call TO arms.
Their shivered swords are red with rust
Their pumed heads are bowed;
Their naughty banner, trailed In dust,
Is now their martial shroud.
And plenteous funeral tears have washed
The red stains from each brow
And the proud forms. by battle gashed.
Are free from anguish now.
The neighlng troop, the flashing blade,
The bngle's stirring blast,
The charge the dreadful cannonade,
The din and shout are past
Nor wars wild note, nor gory's peal,
Shall thrill with fierce delight
Those breasts that nevermore may feel
The rapture Of the fight.
Like the fierce northern hurricane
That sweeps his great plateau
Flushed with the triumph yet to gain
Came down the serrled foe
Who heard the thunder Of the fray
Break DER the field beneath,
Knew Well the watchword Of that day
Was Victory or Death"
Long had thaSdoubtful conflict ragged
Ger all that stricken plain,
For never iiercer fight had waged
The vengefn blood OF Spain.
And still the storm Of battle blew,
Still swelled the CORY tide .
Not long, our stout old chleftain knew,
Such odds his strength could blde.
Twas In that hour his stern command
Called to martyrs grave
The flower of his beloved land,
The nations flag to save.
Nv rivers OF their fathers gore
His firstborn laurels grew,
And well he deemed the sons would pour
Their lives for glory TOO.
Full many norther's breath has swept
Ger Angosturas plain
And long the plying sky has wept
Above the molderng slain.
The ravens scream. or eage's flight,
Or shepherds pensive lay,
Alone awakes each sullen height
That frowned Der that dread fray.
Sons of the Dark and Bloody Ground,
Ye must not slumber there.
Where stranger steps and tongues resound
Along the needless air.
Your own proud lands heroic soil
Shall be your litter grave,
She claims from War his richest spoil
The ashes of her brave.
thus meath their parent turf they rest,
Far from the CORY field,
Borne to a Spartan mothers breast
On many bloody shield;
The sunshine Of their native sky
Smiles sadly on them here,

NOmad Tribesmen Will
Gather at Fort Francis

j. Harper Reed, agent of the de-
partment of Indian Affairs OF Cana.
ia, arrived from Telegraph Creek
Thursday in his own boat,
equipped with a high speed out
board motor. He reports the river
rising slowly, with some driftwood
on the lower river. He left for
Skagway on the steamer Alaska,
enroute to Teslin lake via Atlin. He
will visit various Indian villages
and encampments in northern Bri-
fish Columbia, and the southern
tip of Yukon Territory, on his
annual tour OF inspection.
Teslin, one of the southernmOst
settlements in Yukon Territory, is
to have a radio short wave station
in the near future, Reed says.
There is small settlements there,
and a trading post of Drury & Tay-
lor, well know frontier merchants
of White Horse. The Royal Canadi-
an Mounted Police has a detach-
ment there also, and it is believed
that the police will have charge OF
the radio station.
Long Tour Planned
Upon his return from Teslin
lake, the Indian agent will start
on a long tour of the Dease and
Lizard rivers, to visit Indian settle
ments along these waterways. He
will be accompanied by Dr.. E. E.
Hildebrand, prominent physician of
the northland, who is making the
journey to yaccinate the tribes
men and treat any ailments which
he finds.
The two officials will travel via
Wrangell to Telegraph cree k,
whence they will proceed over the
Dease Lake trail to the head OF
Dease lake, where water transpOr
tation is available for the rest OF
their journey.
A river scow equipped with high
speed cupboard motors will be used
to transport themselves and their
equipment down the Dease riYer
to the Lizard, thence up the Lizard
and the Frances rivers to Frances
lake.
Nomad Tribesmen
Nomad tribesmen from various
parts of southern Yukon Territory
and Northern British Columbia are
expected to foregather at the re-
Gently established Hudson's Bay
post, known as Fort Francis this
season, and it is hoped that COLI
facts will be made with Indians
from farther east, as this post, ia
nous in the annals of the fur
trade of more than century ago,
is expected to attract the wander
ing bands from as far west as the
Mackenzie river.
Four-fifths of the un0harted vii
derness of southern Yukon anu
northern British Columbia has
been set aside as fur reservations
for the Indians, Reed says. This was
done, he explains, to protect the
Indians from the encroachments of
white trappers, who have a habit
to trap so intensively that certain
areas have virtually become depict
ed, leaving the Indians without
means of gaining a livlihood. The
fur reservation policy is in vogue
through the Northwest Territories.
There are about 400 Indians unnder
his charge, Reed estimates

Hovering on the edge of the present
strike between the lettuce workers and
their employers are the forces of radical
elements, represented by the Interna-
tional Labor Defense and other organ-
cations and individuals.
kilograms and letters of the usual
protest" variety, have been received by
Sheriff Ware from the Los Angeles head
quarters of the LID and from the Moon
ey-Billings Branch" of the same organ
ization. The latter protests" in behalf
of its "a members, against the terror
ism" existing in Imperial Valley, while
the Los Angeles branch boasts of two
thousand members, and of course pro
tests" in their behalf
The protests" show the usual lack of
knowledge or deliberate ignoring of the
true facts.
The stationery of the Los Angeles
headquarters of the LID is interesting to
valley residents. 1t is not something
new but has been in existence for a con-
siderable length of time. Across the
bottom of it is printed Smash Imper-
ial Valley Terrorism
In fairness to the men and women who
are on strike here, it should be emphasz-
ed that they have not sought, and de-
clare they do not want, any support or
endorsement of these radical organiza-
tions. Whatever mistakes they may
have made or no matter how much one
may disagree with the purpose of their
strike, they are not Communists.
It is the function of the LID, the Amer
lean Civil Liberties Union and other or
ganizations of their stripe, to butt in"
wherever there may be a dispute involv-
ing labor or anything else. 1t makes
good publicity for them, or they think
it does.
Imperial Valley had its experience
with radiealism and Communism last
year. Likewise radicalism and Commun-
ism had their experience with the val
ley. They should have profited by that
lesson. As long as they limit present
activities to writing letters and sending
kilograms to the sheriff, few will object.
Sheriff Ware is big and husky and can
stand it. But they had better think twice
before extending their activities, particu-
larly as it concerns personal appearances
here. Imperial Valley doesn't want them
and will not tolerate them That should
be plain and thoroughly understood.
We would consider it the height of af-
fluence to be sued by Uncle Sam for back
income taxes.
