Lack of moisture has rendered this por tion of the groat Inland Empire almost u proverbial desert this season, and we had just us well face the facts. . Union and Wallowa counties Are probably the most for tunnte in securing rain, but in the Grande Ronde viilley where u failure is unknown to man the crops will be liirht, In riakcr county no one can yet estimate the loss by the season for that county is intensely dry and 4he stockmen are planning to dump every animal that will do for slaugh Icr on a market which is not the best. This is n year when we are not the victims of the wee vil, nor the political reformer, but the weather has dealt us n poor hand. Each day a brassy sky tells of the prolonged heat with no indication of rain, and each day the crops continue to shrivol and shrink., Truly, the path of tho farmer is n hard onu.-but this year it is extremely hard. OFFICE CAT TtUOt MAUN Those War Songs From tho early days of, the Civil war even to tho pres ent ".tiffin Brown's 'Hod' has been a poptffar marching song. It was a song that caught the popular fancy in the stress of war and few, probably, thought or cared who wrote it. .A ISopton paper has delved into its origin and the result appears to be that it was not written by nny one person, but, like Topsy, it "growed." It, had its beginning, according to the account given, with a glee club among soldiers on defense duty ,in Bos ton harbor in 1861. It was not a spontaneous production, several pei-sons contributing. Thus it was an evolution with no thought, probably, on the part of those who had a share in arranging it that they were producing a song that would be sung by many thousands of Union soldiers on many a weary march. An improvisation, it finally took form and was published and it survives to this day. The Jioston soldiers went away singing "John Brown's Hodv" and it soon spread to all the loyal forces. . In the. samo connection the setting that inspired Julia Wiird JIowe tp, write the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" is noted, in company with her husband and other-friends Mrs.' Howe attended some reviews in Virginia near Wash ington. Riding home at night through the Virginia woods with Union soldiers marching by their. side singing "John Brown's Body," while the moonlight glittered on their bayonets, tho spectaclo provided the inspiration for the battle hymn. Thus there is u connection between the two iamous songs, products of the civil conflict. The differ ence is that one grew, the other was an individual product. .
