Mr. Karl and family, lato or Sauv

J. E. Lowe of Bend, is now located
in our city. Mr. Lowe ia a Grand
Army man, having served his country
during the Civil War. Ho is not in
good health. Should he improve in
this climato, he may locato perman
ently here. Wo who have boon so
fortunate as to make the acquaint
ance of Mr. and Mrs. Lowe, extend to
thorn a hearty welcome as pleasant
and valuable acquisitions to our
city. We have room for many more
just liko them.
Mesdamos Larabea, Dell and
Goodman greatly onioyed an auto
ride on Thursday last, when Mrs. H.
J. Anderson took them to Portland
in her new Overland.
Prof. Brehaut and family spent
Saturday and Sunday in Portland,
returning on the train Sunday even
ing. We really envy the Professor
these week end trips to the city.
Messrs. White and Wilson shipped
a carload of sheep and cattle to
Portland on Saturday and are now
buying another car of potatoes for
the outside market.
The infant son of Mr. and Mrs.
Colon Crouse died Sunday night and
was buried Tuesday at Warren cem
etery. T. S. White had charge, a
short service was held in tlio family
home by Rev. Sanford Snyder of the
M. K. church. Little Kleneth was
born Sept. 14, 1915. Ho was never
a strong child and his early depart
ure was not surprising. The parents
are comforted by the fact that "Of
such is t lie kingdom of Heaven."
Tho M. E. minister was seen wan
dering up the creek one day last
week. He returned quietly with but
one lonesome little trout as the spoils
of his trip. Ho says that he believes
in the old adage of try, try, again.
- ST. HELENS MIST. FRIDAY, APRIL 21, 1916
THE BLUE AND GRAY
should be eating strawberries and ice
cream. If this thing continues long,
we shall certainly demand an early
and speedy investigation.
Several of our young men enjoyed
an auto ride on Friday night, which
might havo been more serious. As
it was, they managed to upset the
car, with the result of quite a smash-
up. By the limping oi ono uu mo
street, and the disfigurement oi an
other, they seem to have had the
usual experience of Inexperienced and
careless joy riders. It takes a clear
head and a careful, steady hand to
properly handle and guide a gasoline
horso. It is surmised by some that
John Barleycorn was more to blame
than anyone else for the accident.
A couplo of our respected citizens
celebrated Friday night by getting
hilariously drunk. Prohibition laws
cannot help men who do not want to
be helped. A man's thirst must be
abnormal when It causes him to send
outside the state to secure his bug
juice, and his Ideals of manhood,
husbandry and parenthood badly
vitiated when he allows himself to
get so low and become so helpless
that his wife has to be humiliated
before the gaze of the public by going
to the place of his carousel and lead
Ing him home. But then we all
know that some men can drink or let
It alone, just as they wish, and such
men generally prove that they can
drink easier than they can let It
alone. Such scenes as we had last
week will only hasten the day when
the shipment of booze Into dry ter
ritory will be absolutely prohibited
The M. E. Sunday school Is busy
drilling and training for their Easter
program, which will be given Sunday
night In the M. E. church at 7:30.
Tho younger portion of the M. E.
Sunday school will enjoy an Easter
egg hunt at B. G. Plummer's, on
Saturday afternoon. A good time is
expected.

In an article last week concerning
the naturalization of several aliens,
we stated that the color hearer. John
M. Lindsay, was a confederate soldier.
This was an error, as Mr. Lindsay
spent the best years of his life In de
fense of the stars and stripes and the
honor was worthily conferred when
Judge Eakln asked him to Bproad the
colors during the ceremony of nat
uralization.
The following letter from Mr. Lind
say, shows him to be a man among
men, a valiant soldier and will
eliidlv take the hand of the "reb" he
shot at across the stone wall at Fred
erlcksburg and call him comrade and
brother, aud It is with much pleasure
that we give space to his letter.
Keuuen, Ore., April 16
Editor St. Helens Mist:
Dear Sir No. no. do not think
that you have given me an Insult by
using the words Confederate soldier
in connection with me. I fuced the
men that wore the gray In too many
hard battles, beginning at Freder
icksburg, Va., Dec. 13, 1862. and
ending at Appomattox, Va., to have
anything but tlie greatest of respect
for the Confederate soldier. He
fought for what he thought was
right and I did the same. I honor
him for his bravery as I honor the
man that wore the blue, although I
know that I was right. Dear Bir, If
you had been at Gettysburg In 1913
at the Peace reunion of Yanks and
Rebs, you would have no doubts as
to a reunited country. We surely
burled the hatchet at that time on
that bloody battlefield. Should
trouble come, I know that the man
from South Carolina would fight just
as bravely as the man from Massa
chusetts and both would tight to the
death. If you would refer back to
August or September, 1913, you
might And an article In the Mist that
I wrote for the paper in regard to
the reunion at Gettysburg, and know
by that I wore the blue. So far as
holding the flag over the new made
citizens In the circuit court, I consid
ered it a great favor and I felt proud
to know that I was the one to hold
the flag in their front.
Very truly yours for defense.
