A CONSriCTOUS VACANCY
A good soldier, a good citizen, a good friend was yester
day laid to rest in the beautiful burial ground at Summer
vifle. ColonelTtalph R. Huron has left a vacancy in the life
of this community, and in the life pf the state as well, that
will take long to fill.
Death enfolded him in the prime of his life, taking from
the living an active, intelligent, purposeful worker. Capable
service to his country and humanity may truly le enscriled
across his lifetime of accomplishment.
All who knew Colonel Huron mourned his passing; his
friends were legion and they were in every walk of life.
Perhaps as soldier, public official and civic worker was
Goloner Huron best known. As a defender of his country's
flag he served in the Spanish-American war, in General
Wheaton's expedition to Cavite and the Batangas Provinces,
the expedition of General Bates to South Camarines Province
and Captain Lyle's expedition to Ragay, all in the Philippine
Islands. He saw action at the Duyo river, Calabanga, Lupi
and Ragay.
In'the World war he served honorably in France as first
lieutenant, Q. M. C. and wound up his military service with
ten years of splendid achievement in the Oregon national
intni-ft fiHv:nrino' fmm first rrmt.iin nf fYirrmnrtv P 1 A
.T:i-jinr? to thp mrrnnnnriino' offirer nf the ISfith Infuntrv rppi-
ment. As public official he served as postmaster of La
Grande for 12 years, and again his record speaks for itself
an enviable one. And as civic worker, each year found him
leading and assisting the community in some way toward
betterment. When the end came he was serving as general
chairman of the semi-centennial U. P. celebration to be held
here July 19-21. inclusive.
Truly, his passing leaves a conspicuous vacancy.

Teachers, and scholars. I give Tent,
To the esteem 1 bold for you.
You were good, we had much fun,
I'll remember each kind word;
Not a teacher was hiR-s:rung,
Like many of whom I re heard.
As my battle for learning was fought.
It was you. who helped me win;
When 1 threw Idleness to naught.
And worked w.th will and Ttm.
I leave most of you. but not all,

For his; her schools, I have a call.
