Comrade W, Kighy waH called upon and a-k ed the blesuiug. The dinner was up to thetitandard of excellence fcr which this I ody of patriotic women is noted. After all had partaken of the aiimp- tuoua repast, the program arranged by the joint committee from the W. R. C. and G. A. R. wae rendered. First was a song, "Tentiug Tonight on the Old Camp Grouud." by tour oung men A. E. Lathrop, tlrst ten or; 1..011 uatiano, second tenor; ram Hubbard, baretoue; A. L. Day, bass.

Cunning invoked divine blessing, reciting from mem ory the prayer according to the ritual of the Post. "America" wits then sung by the udience. Commander Fred Deitz, In neat speech. Introduced Department Commander ,1. T. Apperson of Oregon 3ity. General Appcison is a tliieut peaker and entertniued the audience for an hour. He gave an ineresting account of bis stewardship es oom muuder of the department and stated that iu two weeks more he will have visited every Post but three o( the sixty-two in the state. He showed it to be the imperative duty or every Uuion soldier ot the Civil War to joiu the ranks of the Grand Army ot the Republic. Cooperation is the watch word of today. Without unity, with out the work of the Giand Army, the old soldiers would not be fariug so well as they are today upon Uncle Ham's bounty He paid a glowing tribute to the loyal order of the W. C. the recognized auxiliary to the Grand Army. No wheie during his visits throughout the state had he unit with a more cordial reception than from the good women of Canby Relief Corps, the women he said aie doing a great work in recruiting the Grand Army uad keeping up iu terest among its members. Wherever you Hud a Kelief Corps there you will Hud a live Grand Army Post. Whore there is no Relief Corps the Post dead. The Grand Army Post, he aid. will be a factor In the Pacltlc coast stateB after the last Post had drocped out in Ihe states along the Atlantic coast, the boys who enlist ed uear the olose of the war are now iu viuuious manhood and most of them have come west, while the older soldiers stayed with their home In the east. Hut uoue of the boys who went through the terrots and horrors of that tremeudous conil.e nearly halt a century ago are now young All are gray. Some of them limp. Home go on crutches, when you of the younger generation meet a G. A. R. man. remember that he stood in the tieech and fought to a llnish ocnfl'ct that had to come, Bad that you now enjoy the great privileges se cured to you through his patriotism. He stood tor government, law, au thority, civilization, union indis soluble, a reunited country, the greatest nation in all history. Commander Oeltz called upon the acknowledged orator ol Canby Post, Comrade M. R. Iseuberg, who re snouded and gaveMiis experience iu bis first battle. It was the tlrst day's tight of the seven days' battle under McClellau in front of Riohmnud He told how soared be was aud with what alacrity be obeyed bis captain's orders to get behind a tiee. aud he nicked the biggest tree on the Held And when a batteiy of artillery hove iu sight and took position on the Hank of his regimeut, how glad he was to see reenforoemeuts. He thought it was Hattery C. lint when that battery got 111 action, how sur piised he was to Hnd it shooting at him. How bis position behind tha biu tree got untenable, for there was DO behind part to it when that bat terv commenced work, and how cheerfully he obeyed his captain' orders to bike to the rear and take position behind the friendly shelter of a hill. While behind his big tree he noticed a lot of soldiers dressed iu green uniform. They were de ployed over the Held, &ome behind trees aud some up in trees, and all Of them iu advance of the main body of he Union army. Later he learned they belonged to the llrst regiment of th famous Herdan sharp shooters. Alon with this company of sharp shooters was F. II. Cobb, auothei boy like him self who at present Is visiting relative in Hood River aud was preseut in the audieuce. Comiade Iseuberg, wit much feeling, spoke of the pleasure it gave him to meet with a comrade wh IihiI been with him on the battle Held down in Virginia, and whem he had uot met again until this day it years after their experience in the swamps of Virginia. It was a happy meetin for both and the two old boys put I the dav (together, recounting thai adventures during the war and th uns an downs since had in civil life At the conclusion of Comrade Iseu berg's address, President Jenn lientley oalled upon Department In sector Carrie Courter for remarks Mrs. Courter was glad to meet agsin with Canby Kelief Coips, which sh said was among the most active In the state. She repoits the W. R. C. in splendid I shape throughout the department and that at the close ot the term of the present department official, the order will show a handsome gain iu mem l bersbip. Her kind words addressed to the old soldiers showed her love tor the work in which she is engaged, lu closing she stiired the hearts ot the old buys by leoiting a lengthy poem entitled "Wby 1 wear the badge." F. H. Cobb was called for and re ' spouded in a few happy remarks. He said he well remembered seeing his old friend Iseuberg iu that Hrst days' Hght. He remembered seeing him be hiud that tree. Ah tor himself, he was bebiud a small sapling. Iseuberg he said was the worst scared boy he ever saw ; aud mainly for that reason hu could remember him. His eye balls bugged out so that you could have snaked 'em oft with a giape vine. Later the tlerdau sharp-shooters aud the Pennsylvania lluoktails were often together, and both boys recovered from their terrible fright at the Urst days' Hght. Ihe following letter, whioh speaks for itself, was read by the Corps Treasurer, Mrs. J. W. Rigby. Dear Memleis of Canby W. R.
