Dear Alary: Your very Interesting and affecting letter came to me a few days ago, and today I will try to answer It, hoping some way to get It to the postoflice, for I am sick today. I have been unwell near ly all summer. Sometime.! I feel pretty fair for a week or two, then I am troubled for three or four days, and so ft goes. Poor Tom. I grieve to think I could not be with him awhile, and had I known the C'iid was so near I would have managed to get there some way. Hut I felt sure I could get there this fall, as I would have -"io tattle to e; bu; tho parties will not get them until late, and in dued 1 am not well enough now, even If I had the money. Poor fel low, he went away vary sudden, but i think, and hope, without much I pain. Oh. life has only lef! Its dregH for old people like me ' How your letter affected me like lift Ing your hands toward heaven and imploring him to come hack Well, who can tell? Perhaps he ly better off In a dreamless sleep thai1 many of us who are left to II cold, narrow existence. None escape paying natures inexorable tax. It Is sweet to think, though, that when we drop out by the way there are some to remember us. to drop a teal to our memory, and at times to live In the pitHt with us when we shared It with them. To me comes the mem ory of other daya when wo were Iiojh together, as I. had seen little of him as a man. Hut the old tlnu In Illinois come stronger to my mem ory than any other. Then the fain ly, with the exception of my dear mother, were more together and old enough to retain Hs memories. Only two or the old family are left kllen and myself. Four are on the other shore. Surely we have inor to meet in the beyond than here, a tic' old Father Time will come around to us after a time perhaps not long How your letter rolled back the past years of my life and the everv- day events of the past, came troop ing back, wherein Tom was concern ed, and my heart cried out: "Oh, for one hour of those times I held so cheap "ft n boy. Precious would they be now." It carried me back still fart tier Into the shadowy past until I stood with Tom, two little boys, beside our dear mother, while she sang to us in the gloaming Airs. Heaiuans beautiful poem, "The Bet ter Land." Oh, that after life. Alye terlous burdens are cast down that wp all may meet there together. Who can fathom the mysteries of death? Perhaps Tom's smile may have told of the meeting with the loved ones gone before, and the as surance of his loved family left on earth meeting him In that land be yond Horrow and pain. Good bye, and (iod be with you all, and If spared I hope to visit you all. Your loving uncle. GKOItR M. PRIOR. OLALL.Y XFWK. Haying is about comnleted. Aloxt of the farmers are nrenur- lng to start their hinders.. Crops; never looked better, but nevertheless a shower of rain would result In much good. Mrs. H. O. Waters, of Palouse, Washington, is visiting at. the home of her brother, P. M. Wells. Oswald and Jack Day are at. the home of their grandfaiher. They are enjoying the usual summer vaca tion which they lnverlably spend with their grandparents. The stages are making excellent time and many passengers are pass ing through this section daily. The Fourth was duly observed by a nice pienic celebration at the Re union grounds. Col. J. O. Day was president of the day, Wm. Schrenk chaplain. Vocal and instrumental music, and many declamations and aoj.gs were rendered. Besides act ing as president of the day. the col onel delivered a good oration, most appropriate for the occasion. The time was well spent on the amuse ment grounds, with horse races, ball games, foot races, long and high himps, in fact a pleasant uay was had. The celebration ended In n Ktand ball at night. Those In at tendance report a nice quiet time. Ail here are In favor of a Pioneer Reunion and have a committee of management appointed to arrange for the same. The parties who arp on the committee are those that the tried veterans who will push things and make an assurance of one of the best reunions we have ever bad. The time is not set as yet. delay owing to the fact that wo do not wish to Interfere with the fairs and hope to suit all as near as we can. X. Y. Z. PKItSOXAL FORI M OF PHIL IIAKAIOXICIS. (This paid column Is edited by a citzen of Oregon, who will discuss questions which he deems Important ror consideration by the people.) Figures soon to be Issued-by the census bureau will be scanned with great Interest by those who have ice n alarmed in the past by the growth of our cities. According to the census of 1900, about one-third it the population of the t'nited States lived in cities. .o doubt the pro portion has increased In spite of the improvement which has undoubtedly taken place In the conditions of rural life. The best blood of the country Is continually drawn to the city, and there It meets another stream of population flowing to the amo center, namely. Immigration Civilization Is seen at tts best and at its worst in the city. There may nrofessions. In the nrts, nnd in busl- he found the shinning lights In the ness life. There also are found vice in all its forms, both glided and not gilded: there, on the one hand are wealth and luxury and on the other poverty and misery, with all the gradations from the palace to the "slum". Without renewal by fresh blood from the country, city life would soon become like a stagnant pool. But with the best that the country can. do, the prospect In our cities Is not flattering. The con stant stream of foreign immigration empties t!ie greater portion of its flood into the city. Low standards of life, Ignorance, dirt, disease and crime are assembled Ju the city slum In appalling bulk. Social phil osophers are grappling wl'.h the problem, and practical remedies are found in the social settlement, the Christian mission and the Institu tional church. Not only does the city harbor within Itself the seeds of destruction, but there circulates from it, through the many avenues characteristic of this day, of easy Intercommunication nnd evil Influ ence that blights whatever it touches. No city livoth unto itself and no city dieth unto Itself. City and country are bound up together, and the city might he called the great central nervous system of tho body politic. No one will disrepute that many cities, like New York, Chicago, St. Louis Sun Francisco. Pittsburg, have been found to be great centers of political corruption Involving the pub lic men and public Interests of (he state and even of the nation. In the state of New York, the city be came so corrupt that its government haH been from time to time remod eled by the state legislature, and ft has long been true that the decent, patriotic people of New York City hav0 been compelled to look to the state legislature for relief, which could not be obtained In the city within Itself, because of the preval ence of Ignorance and corruption among the voters. When we recall this fact, It is natural to Inquire whether we in Oregon have done wisely in taking away from the state legislature absolutely the pow er to make or amend city charters. Tlpe state has a vital Interest In maintaining the virtue of Its chief cities and so rapid Is the Increase of city populations that there is grave danger not only that the cities will dominate and control In state and national politics, but that that control will emanate from the wor,st elements of city life. The state of Oregon Is growing, but It Is perhaps true that Port land is growing more vapidly than the rest of the state. DoubtlesB the new census will show that Port land has more than one-third ot the population of the state. She Is now a groat factor In stale politics and she will be a greator fax-tor. The time may come when the law-abiding citizenship or Portland and of the rest of Oregon will regret that the state legislature has no power to intervene ,in Portland's govern ment.
