ing Memorial Day, which has been
adopted this year by the Department
of Oregon, Grand Army of the Ilepub-1

General Order, No. 11. '
1. Tho 30th day of May I dealgnat
cd for the purpose of strewing with
flower, or otherwise decorating the
grave of Comrades, who died In de
fence of their country during the late
rebellion, and whose bodies now -lie
In almost every city, village and ham
let churchyard in the land. In thia ob
servance no form of ceremony Is pre
scribed, but Post and Comrades will
In their own way arrange such fitting
aervlce and testimonial of respect
as circumstances will permit.
We are organized, comrades as our
Regultttlona tell us, for the purpose
among other thing "of preserving
and strengthening thoe kind and fra.
tornal feeling which have bound to
gether the soldiers, sailors,' and ma
rine wno united 10 suppress me iie
rebellion. That can ad more to asm
this result than by cherlhlng tender
ly the memory of our heroic dead, who
made their breast a barricade be
tween our country and It foes? Their
soldier live were the reveille of free
dom to a race In chain, and ih their
death the tattoo of rebellious tyrrany
In arm. We should guard their graves
with sacred vigilance. All that the
consecrated wealth and taste of the
nation can add to their adornment and
security Is hut a fitting tribute to the
memory of her slain defenders. Let
no wanton foot tread rudely on such
hallowed grounds. Let pleasant paths
Invite tho aiming and going of such
reverent vlaltors and fond mourners.
Let no vandalism of avarice neglect,
no ravage of time testify to the pres
ent or to the coming gereratlons that
we have forgotten as a people the
cost of a free and undivided republic.
If other eyes grow dull and other
hands slock, and other hearts cold In
the solemn trust, our shall keep It
well as long a the light and warmth
of life remain to us.
Let u then, at the appointed time,
gather around their sacred remalna,
and garland the passionless mounds
above them with the choicest flowera
of spring-time; let us raise above
them the dear old flag they saved
from , dishonor; let us In thla solemn
presehce renew our pledges to aid and
aaslst those whom they have left
among ua, a sacred charge upon a na
tion's gratitude, the soldier's and
Bailor's widow and orphan.
2. It is the purpose of the Comman-
vance with the hope that It will be
derln-Chlef to Inaugerate thisobaer
kept ,up from year to year while a
survivor of the war reraalua to honor
the memory of his departed comrades.
He earnestly desires the public press
to call attention to thla Order, and
lond Its friendly aid in bringing it to
the notice of comrades In all parts of
the country In time for simultaneous
compliance therewith.
3. Department Commanders will use
every effort to make thl Order effec
tive.
