After Lliigiirliig for homellme Ho Finally HttcraiiibM A 1'oor liurlal. Cavitb Aiihknal, 1. I, Aug. 0, '(IB, My dttar Folks 1 At last we are on the cv of tlie great bittlu, or speaking inure correctly, hoiubarditiHnt. Everything Is ruady and evryone is anxious lur the morrow to aeitr. Hut before I go (ur tluir, I mtiHt toll you the very guod news that la the moat iuiurtant ol all thla let ter will contain : Young la better and now baa a chance (or recovery. The evening of the day, Aug. 7, on which I dent your last letter, I went to the hoe IUI and wai told that all would be over with Young before morning, aa every thing waa against blin. However, the doctors aald that If be lived until morn Ing he stood a very alight chance of liv ing, ao early yesterday I again visited bun, and to my great surprise found him live. That waa yesterday morning, Last night I visited blin accompanied by ftcolt. At we entered the room, be awoke from a nap be bad Just fallen Into ami Just think he smiled at us, so very faint, but It waa a auille. He at last retwgnlaed ua. Thla morning be was growing better and tonight baa a good chance for life. Yesterday, Aug. 8, waa another not tie day for us, beratiae we received mail and money. They commenced paying at 11 o'clock and had finished at 4 p. m. lt actually put new llfo In the men. Yeslorday the foreigners In Manila were notified to pack up while the foreign war vessels were wsrnod to leave (he harbor, Today all, except one from each nation left, and the people duelr Ing to leave Manila were furnished trans xrUtion by Dewey, and were lauded alwut two miles from us In a destroyed fipautah fort. Of course you know what this means, Manila la to be bombarded Very likely tomorrow. This la all for tonight as tups axain atop me. Wednesday, Aug. 10. Again we are lisaiNiintvd In nut having seen the bombardment, but have hupea of seeing it soon. About ten or twelve small steamora are anchored near the shore in a little cove loaded with refugite, who are waiting for the exciting tlinea to end. The meuowar are through coaling and the foreign vessels are In position and everyone is anxious lor the battle to commence, Young la about the aame today. Of course this Is not bad but It could bo totter. Tonight we are quartered In a much better building, having moved during the day. This room la dryer and lighter, which will make our barrack life more ileasaut. Luring the day I saw many English rouu who came from Manila, and I also aaw Dewey. I recognised him Immedi ately, and aa I pasted him gave the sa lute, which be returned. He was over yesterday too, and on aeelng a crowd of fellows Ulklugtogether.came up like one of tho privatea and commenced to talk as one. He spoke to nearly everyone and finally left as be rame. His sailors worship him, because he t reals them so kind. If tliey have any trouble they take It to him and bo always receives them very courteously . Friday, Aug. 12. Agiiln we have bad a very exciting as well as a very aad one, because this morning we laid Young in bis lust resting place. Ho died yester day morning in a peaceful manner, after having grow a better for the last day or 80. Up to the night ho died the doctors aaid ho was gutting butter and I could sue It, but he grow worse of a sudden and in a few moments was dead. I waa on guard so could not go up that evening, but It would have done mn no good as he was nnconKclouB, You remember what he looked like whon you saw him in l'ortland. He weighed more than I did, probably 105 pounds. Today bis body welgbod about DO pounds. Ho you can soo what ho looked like. He has a very poor burial place, his coffin box bo Ing only a foot In the ground, leaving some above tho surface, so dirt was piled over It. Aa lt was the water bad to be balled out before the box was put in. The 0. A. 0. boys went in a body to bis grave. A man out of Co. 0. diod of the same thing yesterday. Tonight the entire Oregon regiment was told to got ready to travel, that is all, but three companies of the 3rd Bat talion who are to stay behind to guard Bupplloa. Of course we were one of the unlucky companies. After the bom bardment, which we are expecting to take place tomorrow the 1st and 2nd battalion will land at the wharfs and go into the city that way whllo the rest will go in from the Rides and rear. Our boys may havo to fight their way in but tho general opinion is that they will hayo an easy thing of It. Tho company taken from our battalion is Co. F, and Ih to do the honor of acting as body guard for Gon. Morritt. All were issued three days' rations, Again taps stop me to goodnight. Saturday, Aug. 13.-iAt 5:30 a. ra. the boats went nearer Manila while our Oregon boys were taken in transport! over near Manila. At 0:30 the firing commenced and lasted an hour when the Oregon boys were landed and part of the city surrendered. The troops on land bad a hard fight, but succeeded In drawing back the enemy. Only the Raleigh, Olympla and I'etrul fired, the others stood by while the Monterey stayed near lour German tnen-o-wsr, they were acting In a suxpltlous manner, Our boats were not fired on, the Span iards firing every shot at the land forces. We havo not beard anything further than these facts, except that the gum were silenced and a large magazine wai blown up. We know nothing of our losses but think they sre quite heavy. Today the major told some of the fel lows that we would Join our regiment as soon as the fourth exeditlun came In so we may soon go over to Manila aa It is expected any day. Monday, Aug. 14, '08. -This letter will ond In an unsatisfactory manner to you because the steamer leaves today and I shall be unable to tell you In a de tailed manner of the bombardment. I shall add a few facta that I have beard. A boat cams over from Manila today and told that the whole of Manila la sur rendered and the troops excepting the Pennsylvania and California are in the city. The Oregon boys are quartered in the palace where the royal guards the Spanish general's escort, were. This makes ua more anxious to go because they are so nicely fixed. Tbey did no fighting but the other troops did and lo t about 10 men killed. Two gunboats were In the river that divides old and new Manila, but we captured only one aa the other waa burned. This is all we have beard. The trouble that has long been ex pected from the Insurgents Is very close at hand ao everything appears. Oen. Merrltt refused to let them in the city after it was takt n consequently they are furious and are treating our men here in Cavlte In almost a hostile manner. They are having a big meeting at their head quarters, but we hare not learned what waa being done. Hut let them try any of their foolishness and they will be taught a lesson that will not sown be for gotten. The fourth expedition baa not yet ar arlved but we ekpect it today. Lax Hahdino. IlKAI.

The reason for this is that the people of these towns have a fixed in come upon which they can always depend, and, as a consequence, they are liberal buy ers, paying cash for all their purchases. is uoming to be One of the Best Marketing Towns In the State This is proven every day by the number of farmers, who are to be seen on its streets sell-ins their produce, who, until just the last few years, sought the markets of other towns.
