He said he had visited thirty-live encampments, during the present ollicial yeai, thus far, and had not received a warmer welcome any where than here, and further said: 'You may he small in numbers, but you aie valiant." He paid a grand tiib u te to the army of the Potomac, from hU standpoint as a Western man, and told how when an army was defeated,' the difficulty exisrienced in i hem into tighiing trim auain, hut they always if t hni k to the same standard of valor. General Lwler told the veter ans present that they were part and par cel of that gn at army made Jp of the flower of the country : that they looked younger tnan the veterans in the Kas- tern states, but be accounted tor this from the fac (h it only the stronger and healthier men ent West. But, he ad ded, "We are growing old and the grand army will soon have passed away." He spoke of l lie lie of fraternalism tnat ex ists between the soldiers that fought on he battlefield, as being closer and stronger than the ties that bind the members of any other organization. General Lawler addressed a wrd to the citizens present who were not G. A. K. men, in which he said: "We are not the conservators of all patriotism, but yon owe us the honor of saving the I country." After eulogizing Lincoln and j Grant, he asserted that every man who the street wag the word ''Welcome" in large letters, while below on one side extendingobliipiely "W. B. C." stood out prominently ami on the other side let tered the same way, was painted ''S. of V".

Cooper, came down on the steamer Toledo from Dayton Monday morning, and went into camp on the west side of the river, and just across the road from Battery A'scamp at the end of the sus pension bridge. There were fourteen j laihes in camp, and one of the comrades , in giving an account of theii experience on the trip, said they bearded the bout at Dayton Sunday evening, hut as there were only ten vacant berths on the boat, an apartment was umde out of a tent stretched across the Imliu's cabin, that serve)! as a bed chamber for four of the ladies.

He claimed that the men who had once been granted pensions, ought not to have the same cancelled witnout due process of law ; that a liood soldier inva riably made a good citizen ; that the G. A. K. was broad in its work and coun tenanced no political faith or religious belief; that it was a shame that any man by a ruling can cut off" the pension of a soldier in his old age ; that the abo lition of slavery did more to elevate la bor than anv organization has since : we were soldiers from necessity, not from choice when the war was over we be came the best of citizens; the Women's Belief Corps was organized in 1883, and he had watched their work as well as that of theG. A. It.; had noticed how much they had lightened the burdens of the veterans, and that during the war the women at home had suffered more than the soldiers; there was no excite ment of battle to revive their drooping spirits and they waited for days, months and even years in suspense for the end of the war; Hid it not been for the women many of the soldiers would have laid down their guns ; reputation's sake kept many of us in the Geld. He fur ther complimented the women on their work, and eulogized the flag. Col. C. C. Jones, adjutant-general of the national department, gave some fig ures concerning the work they were do ing. With General Lawler they had al ready visited thirty-fiye state encamp ments, a id expect to have visited forty by the end of the present fiscal year In their trip through the south they discovered that the people were awakening to the true spirit of patriot ism ; that the governor of North Caro lina, says it is his intention to have a flagon every school house in the state.

The executive committee, Capt. J. P. Shaw, chairman, deserve siecial mention for their work in making the encamp ment a grand success. The program in its multitudinous details was carried out w ith scarcely a hitch, and the visiting delegations were loud in their praise of the way in which they were entertained by the people. But the executive com mittee did not do all the work, they were assisted by other committees, who la bored diligently to make the encampment the grandest success of any ever held in Oregon and it was so pronounced by the visitors.
