Estacada is on the Map
Superintendent of Schools Zinser
has discovered that there 4s such a
place in Clackamas county as Estaca
da, and Tuesday he swooped down on
the city and visited the schools. It
was Mr. Zinser's first visit here since
the school has been established and
he was very agreeably supnsed to
see such excellent conditions prevail
ing in our schools, and in the growth
of the place. Some selfish people
might think from this that we could
get along very nicely without such an
officer, but there are other duties than
visiting schools connected with the
office. News.

THE SUFFERING OF VALLEY
FORGE WAS IT WORTH WHILE?
Among the various questions that
have been asked of. modernity there
has been none more striking and
searching than those in an article
entitled "Valley Forge Then and Now"
by Bailey Millard in the February
number of the Cosmopolitan ' Maga
zine. The author happened to be
sightseeing on the historic spot where
Washington and his troops spent that
terrible winter, when the question of
why all this suffering took place oc
curred to him as a modern ' right
minded man. The more he thought
and brooded over the blood-laden
ground the more poignant grew the
question. Was it in order that-America
should be as it is with all its hid
eous social wrong, that those agonies
and bloody sweats were endured. Fi
nally the visitor put down on paper
his meditations "quite simply, but with
the vision of a seer and a poet. Here
is a brief selection from them:
"The pity of it all comes home to
me here as I stand on this 'cold, bleak
hill' the pity of this nakedness and
distress. Here I see grim-faced men
who, for want of blankets, sit up all
night by fires; I see thousands of sick
men crowding hospitals that are, for
the niost part, mere log huts or frail
wigwams of twisted boughs. I see
them dying for want of straw to put
between themselves and the frozen
ground on which they lie. All this I
see through the snow-mist and the
black-trunked trees, not, as it were,
'only yesterday,' but today - and now.
"What were the ideals of these men
of Valley Forge? Were they fighting
for a system of government that would
in its actual working out, foster and
protect vast combinations of capital
to prey upon their own progeny the
get of their own no less valorous wives
and their sons' wives, and of those
to come after them?
" 'Some brigades,' says Fiske, 'were
days without meat. For days together
the army was without bread.'
"Did these men starve in order
that, within this little cycle, that glor
ious republic for which they hungered
more than for bread might be seized
by a few unscrupulous opportunists,
representing all that is worst in any
social or national life; that they might
usurp all prerogative and openly and
secretly buy and sell the manhood of
the nation?
"Looking down the cold, dismal
height, I see them still. Ah those bare
foot patriots in the snow! Do yonder
trust-owning, flunkey-attended volup
tuaries, smoking their costly cigars
in their private cars do their luxury
enfeebled women, with their milk-bath
jo UHsejp J3A3 'sjiquq ouSBdmeqo pu
them ? If even for one fleeting moment
if for the time of the falling-of one
of these flakes upon this sacred ground
they should think of them, how must
they droop their heads f
"Among the trees the darkness is
falling with the snow.. Night is clos
ing down. The wintry bitterness is
deepening. Now the barefoot men
lignt tneir camp Hires anew auu uuu-ii
die about them, turning first thei
breasts and then their half-clad backs
to the feeble flames from the steaming
green wood. -
"But over there, apart, alone, Peter
Patriae is still praying in the snow."

you told me, and to-day I am completely
cured. My doctor says the tumor has disap
