You do not have to think very
long to understand that we are i'm
measurably poorer today for the
loss of those half-million fine

must have been, among those half
million. many who would have gone
far and rendered great services It
is hardly eXaggerating to say that
the last half century of our history
might have been profoundly diff
ferent. II those men had been spared
to us; it certainly is not exaggera-
ting at all TO say that we would be
better, wiser richer people today
If those men had not been killed
There is the true cost of war
OF the war Of 1861 and of all the
other wars whose dead We decorate
today. Not the money-for that can
be repaid. Not the grief and agony
for time can heal that wound. But
the irretrievable removal of human
spirits that could have helped make
a fairer world-that is the price

To the end of our existence as a
nation we shall suffer from that
loss. What better day to mediate
on that loss than Memorial Day?

Memorial Day Recalls True Cost of Grim War

1t is little hard to realize. at
this late date, that we are still
paying for the Civil War.
The bills for powder, shot and
general breakage have long since
been settled. Pensions are being
paid, of course, but they don't loom
large any more-and the war is so
far away from us. anyhow, that
they seem to be part of the natural
order of things, unconnected with
actual conflict.
Indeed, the whole war is rapidly
passing into romanticized veil of
sentiment. so that when Memorial
Day comes around it serves only as
good excuse for a holiday. The
very names of the battles-Shiloh,
Antietam Cold Harbor, Stones Riv-
er and all the reSt-have a quaint,
old-faShioned sound. We tend to
think of them as scenes in pict-
ureSque and exciting pageant. and
forget that they we're paid for in
blood, agony and heartache.
But this continuing cost of that
war escapes us most of all. What
is it, anyway-this cost that we
are still paying and must always
go on paying?
X y II
Figure it this way Close to
100000 men lost their lives in that
war whose memory this day was
set aside to celebrate. Most of them
were young men; they were, further
more, the best of the young men
the bravest, the most ardent, the
lads who were most eager to pour
out what they had as sacrifice
for an ideal.

Foster Returns Home
 First Visit In Alaska

Walter Foster took passage last week from WrangelI to Seattle en- route home after a weeks visit with his brother, Grover Foster. He is a partner in Clackamas Greenhouses, wholesale florist business with fourteen greenhouses extending a block-long out from Portland.
 They deal mainly in a few staple flowers and plants in which they specialize. Their business during tue past year required the purchase of 165.OO0 flower pots in medium sizes, to mention but one item. Shipments are made to dealers far east as Den> yer, but their main business is with dealers in the towns west and south between Portland and Boise.
 The Portland brother knows IS little about the fishing industry as the Alaskan brother knows about the greenhouse business, which, Grover insists, is nothing at all, but while here, although he arrived too late to see the big salmon runs )r trap brailed, he found much to en- joy and admire. It was his first trip to Alaska.

Daughter Of Pioneers South From Alas. Trip

Southbound on her sixth trip to Alaska, Mrs M M. Hungerford left Wrangell last night after a week s visit with her son and daughter-in- law, MT. and Mrs. H. H. Hunger ford. For the past two months she las been a guest in the homes of her sons. F. N. Hungerford and E. $. Hungerford al Petersburg.
 Mrs. Hungerford now makes her home at Bellingham, Wash, but un- til recent years she has lived in California, where she was born 10 pioneer parents. Time has been very kind to her and she seems much younger than her S2 years.
 Her mothers father and brothers crossed the plains in '49 to Callf- ornia. Three years later the oldest brother went back to Hannibal, Mo, to bring out the womenfolk and children who had been left behind. They made the trip down the Miss issippi river to New Orleans, thence by sailing ship to the Isthmus of Panama, which they crossed by mule teams. A second sailing vessel was boarded on the Pacific side of the isthmus and the voyage made to San Francisco
 Mrs. Hungerfords grandfather on the arrival of his family, invest 9d his mining profits in lands north of San Francisco in the San Joaquin valley. Here his daughter, Mrs. Hun gerford's mother, married a forty niner," reared a large family, lived through the hazards and colorful life of pioneer Californians and died at the age of 90.
 Mrs. Hungerford is descended from pioneer American stock who fought through the Revolutionary War and then spread through one after another, of the western from tiers. She takes great pleasure in the fact that, carrying on the pioneer family tradition, she has three sons doing their part in the development of the Territory of Alaska Just what frontiers will confront her sew en Alaska grandchildren does not cause her any anxiety This dear old lady, whom it is an inspiration to know, believes that there will al- ways be frontiers of some kind for coming generations to cross and de velop and takes it for granted that her descendants will do their share of nioneerinp in whatever fields fhe future holds.

After spending 4 years, incIud~ ing winters, with the exception of one. in the remote wilderness 5f northern British Columbia, Oscar Anderson, pioneer merchant and fur trader at Liard post in the CassIar, will spend the coming winter in Buenos Aires, Argentina. according to a recent letter to the Sentinel which he wrote from Vernon, B. c., where he has been visiting since coming out from the Lizard last month. He sold his business inter- ests at Lizard to Capt. Wm. Strong and George Robbins.
 On my departure from the Liard" wrote Mr. Anderson, the new mall service from Edmondton, Alberta, to Whitehorse, T. T., had just been es- tablished with a fueling station at Lizard Post and bi-weekly mail ser vice to the Post.
 The B. c. Police were making further investigation into the dis appearance two years ago of J. N. Baynum and Corporal Blatta of the. R. C. NJ. r. was making further in yestigation into the disappearance seven years ago of Alex Mcdonald" ."
 Speaking of fur conditions, Air. Anderson said that during the past seasn the amount of fur in the. Liard district was about normal. with the exception of beaver, which was very jcarce. Moose and caribou were very scarce, on account, he believes, of the district being in fested with so many wolves.
 His letter concluded with the5e words: "I do not wish to say good bye to my many friends in Wrangel as l intend to return North next year for a visit"
