77is Weather
, As ii rule hot weather is welcomed in Eastern Oregon
lint this is ono of the "offest of the off years" nnd these
burning hot days are taking their toll from an already
very dry area. 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.

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.
