No more glorious morn ever dawned on
Memorial day than that of yesterday.
The sun shone from an unclouded sky
end a eool and -refreshing -breeze tem
pered his rays; the .air -was balmy and
redolent of the perfume of roses and
flowers of air kinds, which are now at
their highest point of perfection and
beauty. It -was a pleasure to be abroad,
and the people of Portland seemed in
clined to take luir advantage of the oc
casion The day was very generally ob
served as a. holiday, .and at an earjy
hour thousands were on their way to the
different cemterfes, loaded with baskets
of flowers to deck the graves of the
nation's- heroes -and their own loved ones.
All day long the street cars were crowd
ed with old and' young, most of them
intent on the proper observance of the
day, but many companies made their
way "by rail, boat and .carriage to lovely
suburban spots to enjoy a day of recrea
tion and quiet in shady groves by bab
bling streams. Never before has Mem
orial day been so generally observed in
this city, and seldom or never has there
been such a. wealth of flowers nsed in
decorating graves,. .
Public services were held under the
auspices of four patriotic societies the
G. A. R.. the Woman's Belief Corps and
the Spanish-American "War "Veterans and
their auxiliaries. There was a parade in
the afternoon in which the Oregon Na
tional Guard took part, followed by the
usual Memorial day programme at the
Armory. The Spanish-American War
Veterans', who are affiliated with the
national organization, held their mem
orial exercises In the Calvary Presby
terian "Church, the pastor of - which is
Rev. W. -S. Gijbert, who was chaplain of
the Second Oregon. These services were
held in the evening, so as not to con
flict with the G. A. R. programme In the
afternoon.
Death-laden missiles of carnage fell like the
fall of the rain;
There, like a wall adamantine, shoulder to
shoulder they stand.
Under the banner of freedom, under the flag
of our land;
There 'mid the smoke of the battle, there
where the camion shot fell;
There with the whizzing of bullets, there 'mid
the bursting of shell;
'mid the bursting of shell;
There mld the conflict's wild horrors, there
'mid the war demons' breath;
There In the hell of the slaughter, there In the
face of grim death;
Friendships that time cannot sever, mystic and
blood-stained the tie.
Friendships were formed and cemented, friend
ships that never can die.
John P. Caples was called upon and de
livered a brief, characteristic speech,
finishing with three cheers for the Grand
Army and the American flag.

better pbseryance of the laws, a dozen
old men, with a few women, respond to
the call. We can get a big crowd to
honor-our fallen heroes, cheer the flag
and-jstrew flowers on the graves of the
dead, but when we desire to have the
laws enforced In order to make the coun
try worthy of those who fought and died
foirit, very few show any Interest In the
cause. Let Decoration day also be a day
of duty in good citizenship, and' then show
ourselves worthy of those we are striving
to honor today."
Chaplain Gilbert related some interest
ing reminiscences of soldier life during
the late war. He told how dead oflicers
were burled high and dry In selected ceme
teries, but how private soldiers were In
terred In .swamps where the cofffns had
to be weighted down with mud to keep
them from floating, "because they were
only private soldiers."
"The Star-Spangled Banner" was sung
PARADE A3VD EXERCISES.
Oration by Rev. Ray Palmer at the
Armory.
The parade was one of the largest ever
seen in Portland on a Memorial day, de
noting .that the old soldiers still retain a
warm place In the "hearts of the people,'
and that their heroic deeds in the cause
of liberty have not been forgotten. The
beauty of the day added to the Impres
slveness of the event. The streets were
thronged with people along the line of
march, and many business houses weVe
decorated with the National colors. James

County -Commissioner Showers, who Is a
member of the G. A. R., walked
with his comrades.
The members of the G. A. R. passed in
review in front of the Armory on Eleventh
street, after which the parade was dis
missed.
The literary exercises at the Armory fol
lowing the parade were of an interesting
nature, and were witnessed by a large au
dience. The members of the Grand Army,
Woman's Relief Corps, Spanish-American
War Veterans, Indian War Veterans and
guests occupied seats on the main floor.
In the center of which was the platform
occupied by the chairman and speakers.
The regimental band played a dirge, after
which John E. Mayo read the ritual of
the G. A. R. This was followed by the
reading of the list of members who have
died since last Memorial day, accompa
nied by the usual solemn ceremony of the
order, and a prayer by Rev. H. A. Barden,
chaplain.
The address by Rev. Ray Palmer was
entitled. "The Seven Lamps of Liberty,"
the first or which, the speaker said, is
patriotism. He said two-score years have
elapsed since "our. comrades at Sumter
awakened the nation." He spoke of
Washington and Lincoln, saying: "Where
in all history can the Nation boast of two
such grand heroes?" After an eloquent
patriotic review, he said: "One by one
the members of the Grand Army are going
to their last sleep. Who shall tell the
stories -of the war when they are gone?
"Who shall sings the songs when they are
away?"
The second lamp was designated as vi
carious sacrifice, and among other things
concerning this subject, Mr. Palmer said:
"The liberties we enjoy were purchased
by vicarious sacrifice of those who have
gone before us. It is an honor to pension
well the men who shall carry the marks
of war down to their graves."
The third lamp was called humanity,
and with reference to the Spanish War
he stated: "Nor would we have been
worthy the name of freemen if we had
not risen and extended the helping hand
to the down-trodden and oppressed. We
did not want the war; It was forced
upon us."
Morality was classed as the next portion
of the subject. "It is for us to say," the
speaker said, "'whether the liberty our
fathers have given usjshall live or die; it
Is for xis to say If -the altars they have
given us shall endure."
The fifth lamp was denominated as
Christianity, which was explained: "By
our Jesus Christ this Nation Is founded.
He is the star of Bethlehem guiding us to
our destiny. Jesus Christ stands today
as the heart of our Nation, and he calls
upon every young man to go forth and
fight the battles of peace."
The lamp of unity was next in order,
and, speaking of unison, Mr. Palmer called
attention to the manner In which the
South vied -with the North In responding
to the call f arms two years ago.
The -seventh lamp Mr. Palmer called
universality, and in closing he said: "The
American soldier always fights for liberty,
intelligent liberty, not only for his own
country, but all countries of the world.
The doctrine of divine kings is abhorrent
to the American soldier. The American
soldier and the American civilian will
never be satisfied until the countries of
the world are transformed Into glorious
republics like our own."
E. "W. Allen, in a brief but stirring ad
dress, told why the Grand Army organi
' ration is as enduring". as ever, and con
cluded by reciting a poem-entitled, "The
Ties That Bind- Us;' as follows:
Thundered the guns of the South-land, under
the Stars and the 3a.rs,
Thundered the guns of the North-land, under
the Stripes -and the Stars,
Deep hung; thesmoke of the conflict, pall like
o'er hill and tbs plain.
ISTHAS WAR VETERANS.
crowded to its utmost capacity adjoining
class rooms and all long before the time
for the services for Spanish-American
soldiers arrived last evening, and hun
dreds of people were obliged to turn back
from the doors. After a prayer by Chap
lain Gilbert, "America" was sung stand
ing by the congregation. Mrs. Addu Dav
enport Martin sang "Only a Sad, Sweet
Memory;" Miss Lulu Mae Buddemer read
a Memorial prayer, written by Mrs. J.
McMlllen. Ordway, and Miss Margaret
Dobson sang "A Faded Coat of Blue."
The address of the evening was made
by Dr. -Stephen S. Wise. He considered
It a real .privilege to add his voice to the
choruses and praises that had been sung
in honor of the noble, heroes who fell
fighting for their homes and their coun
try. He referred to the beautiful annual
custom of decorating the graves of loved,
ones, and said:
"Memorial day is one day of the year
when we can acknowledge the debt of
gratitude we owe to those 'who died that
the nation might live. I love Memorial
day because it means so much, and
although republics are said to be un
grateful, we will not forget those who
gave up their lives for the good of their
country. I love the day because we still
cherish the prize for which our fathers
fought and fell, 40 years ago, not for their
own liberty, but for that of a race of
slaves. If we did not believe in the
cause for which these men fought we
would not now be decking and beautify
ing the mounds which mark their resting
places. We love them for what they did
for what we would be willing to do.
"Decoration day, with its wealth of
fragrant blossoms strewn In honor of our
soldier dead, symbolizes a grateful re
membrance of the soldier heroes whose
well-spent lives have been rounded off in
the fullness of Immortality. The Civil
War was just, right and necessary. There
was no other way out of the dispute.
Although two sections of our country
were locked In deadly embrace, after the
war was over no man was a slave within
Its boundary. All were free, white and
black free, forever. And yet a greater
war was fought In recent years, not great
In numbers killed, but great for the ob
ject for which it was fought. We did not
go to war with Spain to. defend our
rights or to extend our territory, but be
cause In the shadow of the United States
no nation shall be permitted to trample
under foot the rights of its.subjects. The
wrongs of suffering Cuba were worse
than slavery. This war was splendidly
fought, over principles that are eternal.
It was our duty to free our neighboring
Isle of Cuba. In that war is it not a
source of gratification to us that no sec
tion of our country responded with more
promptness than our own State of Ore
son; and that no volunteers called out
by the President were more true than
the young men composing the regiment
commanded by General Summers? (Ap- 1
plause.)
"But in honoring the fallen dead, let us
not forget also the debt of gratitude we
owe to the living. There is no danger of 1
our forgetting the dead ones, but there is
a real danger that the living heroes may
be overlooked. Let us make our country
worth living In and worth dying for. We
owe it to those dead heroes so to live as

Company H, -Second Oregon, sounded
taps as In camp at the front. This closed
the exercises.
AT LOIV'E FIR CEMETERT. -i
Touching ami Beautiful Tributes to
the Honored Dead. '
The number of visitors to Lone Fir cem
etery was immense. Extra cars were pro
vided for their accommodation and far
the greater part of the day a continuous
stream of people was arriving and depart
ing. No soldier's grave In the cemetery
was neglected, as all were marked by
the G. A. R. badges and small flags.
Committees of G. A. R. men provided with
huge baskets of beautiful flowers made
the rounds of the cenietery and took es
pecial pains to see that the graves of
General Summers, commanding
squad of Philippine Veterans.
those who had no families here were pro
vided with a sufficiency of flowers. A
man who knew an Illinois soldier buried
in Lone Fir in 1879, and who hqd neither
kith nor kin in this city, went out es
pecially to see whether his grave had
ben decorated. He fully expected to find
that It had been forgotten after so many
years, but was pleased when he found
the stone which marked the resting place
of this "printer" and patriot soldier" was
liberally sprinkled with roses, and that
the Stars and Stripes he loved and fought
for waved over his ashes.
Scores, of old veterans wandered about
the place, stopping to read the inscrip
tions on the tombstones of old comrades
and, frlendSj viewing with pleasure the
decorations, and perhaps thinking that
before long some one would be bestowing
the same pious attention to theirflast
beheld them, and to instltfjpatrlotlsm and
love of National ,honor "and -glory In every
heart."
The crowd was largest In the morning,
when Sumner Post, G. A. R., and the
Woman's Relief Corps held exercises
there, before placing floral tributes onthe
soldiers' graves. At 10:30 the represen
tatives of the G. A. R. and Relief
Corps, entered the cemetery with an es
cort of 'Second Oregon 'Volunteers; the
Boys' "Brigade and a large numb"er of
school children. They marched to, the
grandstand, where a short 'service was
held, with A. D. Shorno, commander of
the post. In charge.
J. E. Mayo, adjutant,' read the orders
of the day, together "with the form pre
scribed by the G. A. R. In the work of
decoration. The prayer -by Chaplain W.
C. vTracy was followed by a practical il
lustration of G. A. R. work by Officer of
the Day J. A. Newell. A mound had been
arranged In the center of the platform,
and as Mr. Mendenhall scattered large red
roses over it he said that the mound rep
resented the graves of the jnen who had
died in their country's cause; and that,
though the floral tribut placed there
might wither, yet their spirits were ever
lasting. v
M. L. Pratt then read Lincoln's address
on the battle-field of Gettysburg.
Rev. Robert McLean made a few ap
propriate remarks on the observance 'of
the day. His theme was from Kipling's
"Recessional," "Lest We Forget" He
reminded his hearers that the day Is not
Intended for a holiday, or for picnics, or
parties. There are memories to be kept
sacred, and for that purpose j Decoration
day was set apart. A -common loss, he
said, should draw all together, and
thoughts of pleasure-seeking should be
silenced while respect Is being paid to
thost to whom It is due. Mr. McLean
closed by reciting" the "Recessional."
A salute to" the dead was fired by the
Second Oregon escort, and the bugle call
by Roy Doble closed the exercises. The
old soldiers and members of the Relief
Corps, assisted by the school children, vis
ited all parts of the cemetery, placing
flowers wherever a grave was marked by
a flag. The graves of volunteers or tne
Spanish-American War were decorated by
representatives from Gilbert Camp.,
AT RXVERVIEW CEMETERY;
Vast Crowds Strewed Flowers on the
Graves o Loved Ones.
Riverview, the Grand Army and Jewish
cemeteries, south of town, were well
taken care of In floral decorations, and
hardly a grave on the beautiful hillside
was missed. All day long the "S" cars
of the City & Suburban line were crowd
ed to the steps with people bearing fioral
pieces, wreaths and bouquets, and the
cemeteries probably never In- their his
tory contained such crowds of the liv
ing. Friends of tha dead arrived by
team, by wheel and on "foot as "well as by
street-cars, and the pleasant, winding
drives of Riverside were thronged with
livery rigs. The wheels', owing to the
steep climb, were left at the entrance
gates while the "riders ascended tne hill
and 'sought out the graves of their friends.
The soldiers' graves were decorated in
the morning by special details sent out
by the various posts and women's aux
iliary committees. The 15 graves of
Spanish War veterans were tastily
adorned with flowers, while at headstone
and footboard the Stars, and Stripes were
left waving In the light Summer breezes,
and the bronze grave-marks, bearing the
initials, "S.-A. W. V.," were erected at
the head of each mound. At a distance
the little semi-circle of graves wore quite J
a gala-day appearance as a result of the
garlands and flags.
Memorial day gave thousands of Port
land people an opportunity to ride over
the new track recently laid by the City
& Suburban to Riverview. The change of
cars is still made at Hamilton avenue, but
the track diverges from the old one which
used "to run -to Carson Heights and follows
along the foot of the hills just west of
the residence portion of Southern Portland
and Fulton. The old trestles used for
many years on the Duiton .farK Drancn
have now fallen into disuse and stand Jn
bold relief acainst the western sky as-
the passengers skirt along the lower
level. The end of the track, is now at
the base of the hillside upon which Riv
erview cemetery reclines, and a short
climb by steps and a steep trail finds the
visitor within a few yards of the plat de
voted to the Spanish War Veterans. The
scene at this point is lovely beyond de
scription. The pretty green hillside, re
lieved by stately monument, modest
headstone, and lastly shrubbery, stretches
away to 'the southward and -westward.
Its well-trimmed sward resembling the
extensive lawn on. some wealthy-man's
grounds.
The location Is beautiful always, but
was rendered doubly so yesterday by the
presence of neatly dressed --women and
children and well-attlred men. Fqmlly
groups were seated about under the trees
enjoying the matchless view from the ele
vated hillside. The sky was clear and
bright, and the distant mountain peaks
could not nave been more plainly visible
above the dim blue of the wooded Cas
cade Ranee. Below, at the feet of the
cemetery, the Willamette River could be
seen through the trees which fringed Its
banks, and just beyond the thousands
of pretty homes of the living on the East
Side. The last of the visitors did not
leave the charming scene until the shades
of evening had begun to settle on the
green slopes of the West-Side.

Oration by E."W. Bingham.
PLEASANT HOME, May 30. M. A.
Ross Post and Ross Woman's Relief
Corps held memorial exercises today. In
the morning the members of the corps
and the 'post assembled at G. A. R. Hall.
In the audience were a number of little
girls dressed In white and carrying bou
quets and wreaths. A large cross in
front of the altar was draped with the
National colors, while the rear of the
platform was covered with bunting, flags
and flowers. The Relief Corps had charge
of the exercises, assisted by the post and
.50 or more little girls. With President
Mrs. H. Stephens at the head, the corps
'gathered- around tlie cross and recited the
burial service of the order. Then the
children marched around the cross, drop
ping bouquets at the foot until there was
a large mound of bloom. After prayer by
Jlles G. Stephens, the services In the
church' ended, and the flowers" were taken
to the cemetery and the graves of sol.
diers were decorated by the children.
Following the morning exercises the
'Relief Corps served dinner In the banquet
hall of the G. A. R. building. At 2 o'clock
