BARLOW.
Ye scribe has a dreadfully bad'cold.
Some one wanted to know if Barlow
was dead. Not at all, but very busy
haying, "harvesting and hauling wood
for the rnilrond.

hay tomorrow.

Btock dealing propensity,

ground" at New Era.
The Spiritualist camp meeting at New
Era was a splendid success, for which
the members should feel grateful to Mrs.
KateObrock, of Portland, acting presi
dent; Prof. W. C. Bowman, of Los An
geles, and Mrs. Georgie Coolie, of Chi
cago, lecturers. A good many new names
were added to their roll. The Spiritual
ists oppose ail war, unless it be in self
defense, believing it to be wrong and un
just to to compel our soldiers to sacrifice
a thousand of their lives because we had
lost a few. It's unjust to ourselves, and
especially to to the mothers and fathers
of our soldiers. B ;t then, we suppose
it's necessary to kt-ep war rolling riglit
along now iu order to support the build
ers of navies and manufacturers of guns
and munitions of war and keep the tax
payerB busy, And then, how else are
we to feed the permanent national debt
fastened upon us by our last uongresj,
which requires a continual flow of na
tional bonds?
Do you ever soe our comic paper, the
Aurora Boreallufus, of Aurora? Aurora
is a nice town, uiude up of fun-loving
German people, who can well afford to
support one professional clown. Here
is what the editor says in the "mock
moon" if he didn't copy it without
giving credit, us he does some of his edi
'torials. Listen : ' "The war taxes do
not inflict any hardship on the poor;
they are paid by those well able to do
so." The fact 1b tlut every one who
drinks a cup of coffee or tea or a glass of
beer, smokes a cigar, cigarette iir a pipe
of tobacco, or takes a chew of tokicco,
or takes a dose of medicine, gives a note,
sign's a deed or contract, sends a tele
gram, or In fact every man, woman or
child that isn't a Digger Indian, helps
to pay the war tax.

STAFFORD. v
Once again we undertake to jot down
the life of a dear one who has passed to
the other shore. This time it is the
young militiaman, Roy D. Gage, better
known as Don R. Gage, who was
drowned in the Willamette river Sun
day, July 8th, 1900.'
Mr. Gage was bom at Stafford Sunday,
March 27th, 1881, his parents being Mr.
and Mrs. J. P. Gnge. He was the young
est of ten children, six boys and four
girls, seven of whom survive him.
Being a scion of a mighty stock, he
was every inch a man standing over six
feet tall, broad shouldered ard weighing
about 200 pounds.
Several times he had narrowly escaped
accidents, which nearly cost him his
life. . At one time falling 25 feet in a
nam and Btriking on a 'mower, at an
other time he fell from the roof of a
house, and while working in a sawmill
ho was wound up in the -shaft, which
took every article of clothing from on
him.
Sunday, July 1, while, bathing in the
Tualatin river, he had, what must have
been a light touch of .the cramps. On
July 4th, departing for Portland with
hearty goodbyes" to join his company,
Company 0, Third regiment, O, N. G,,
then out to Camp Geer, near Salem.
All went well every Say until Sunday,
July 8th, when the fatal hour came.
Immediately after dinner Gai;e, with
several comrades, went to the river, a
mile and a half away, to swim. On their
way they bantered each other to swim
the river "dog-fashioned." A great
many of the boys went in swimming im
mediately. The water was cold and the
current strong, and when Gage ,in the
middle of the stream called for assist
ance, saying that he was cramped. Sup
posing he to be joking no heed was given
the call. He then called for a boat, say
ing he was drowning, At this late mo
meot assistance could not be furnished
and vhe young man sank for the last
time. "
Search was immediately made for the
body and a message sent to his parents
at Stafford. His father and brother,
Charies.wentto the scene of the accident
and did all in their power to find the
body. A drag 24 feet wide was made
and the river thoroughly combed, but to
no avail. Wednesday evening as the
steamer Ruth was steaming np the river
ths captain discovered the body floating
about 12 miles below the place of drown
ing, floating within 75 hours from the
time of drowning. Securing the body it
was taken to Salem and prepared for
burial. Friday morning it was Ihken
by the steamer to Wagner's Landing,
thence to his home, the burial taking
place in the afternoon under the aus
pices of the Giange, of which he was a
member. Many were the floral offerings
A large concourse was - present. 01,1
