was pressed for time, and came today.
The old veterans were prepared, however,
and gave him a roys'.ng welcome. Gov
ernor Geer and party were .met at the
train by the Little Ladles' Band and
escorted to the camp grounds. Governor
Geer was tendered an ovation as he
mounted the rostrum. His speech was
cheered Co the echo at times, and was
well jecelved. He said In part:
"Full 36 years hav come and gone
since the last gun was fired by the con
testants In the great War of the Rebel
lion. As ordinarily counted, a generation
has passed away since the hlslorlcnl
event at Appomattox, and many men are
becoming prominent in public affairs to
day who bave no recollection of the stir
ring scenes connected with the life strug
gles of this great Nation between '61 and
'65. Our country has made a vast amount
of history since Richmond ceased to be
the capital of the Southern Confederacy,
and Grantj with that magnanimity which
has forever marked him as one of our
great men, told the Southern soldiers to
return to their homes and take alontf
their horses, as. they would need them in
putting in the Spring crops. In these 3C
years, the United States has doubled its
population and quadrupled .its influence
and power among the nations of the
earth. Nations, like" Individuals, seldom
look backward, and in the rush of crowd
ing events, often more far-reaching in
their consequences than could be antlcll
pated by those engaging In them, It Is
quite natural that the effect upon the
future should absorb more attention than
the causes which brought them about.
"It is for the purpose of temporarily
arresting the tendencv to Jive in the fu
ture and gather valuable lessons from
the past that the future may be oeneniea
thereby, If possible, that these annual re
unions are held. A reunion Implies the
gathering together of an association of
people who have been companions In the
accomplishment of some event which has
sortie marked effect upon the -welfare of
the country and whose memory Is worth
perpetuating.
"Of such a nature Is the occasion which
brings us together today. The culmina
tion of the struggle for the extension of
slavery, which had been bitterly waged
for more than a generation. In the Spring
of '61 was acrlsls which seldom occurs
In the affairs of any nation. It was a
deadly blow viciously aimed at its vitals.
It had been ' threatened for years and
preparations had been making not only
openly, but In many ways, secrelly. So
astounding was the effort of the Southern
people iir 18Q1. both in Its magnitude and
in the nature of the object sought, that
the history of all nations In all the past
falls to record many parallels. It Is sel
dom the life of a nation Is attempted es
pecially that of a great one of command
ing Influence and power In the world.
"But by the bloody effort made by the
Southern p6ople In 1861, the very heart of
the Nation was attacked In a manner
which meant death If allowed to succeed.
After tfrer lapse of all these 'year's, time
ha8 softened the bitterness engendered
by that mjghty conflict; until today there
Is scarcely a vestige of It regaining
either North or South of the Mason and
Dixon line. We are again one people,
actuated by the same patriotic motlvos.
and ready to make the same sacrifices
for the National welfare, and we can,
therefore, the better afford to refer to
and rehearse the Incidents connected with
and constituting that great National trag
edy. At any time within the last decade.
If not before, we could easily accord to
the Southern people an honesty or pur
pose In their protracted effort to secure
what they termed their Independence. The
Influence of environment and local edu
cation has more to d& with the formation
of opinions and actions than we ire al
ways ready to recognize and admit. It
was difficult for a Southern man to real
ize that slavery was not right and that
Its perpetuation and extension were not
necessary to the development of his se'e
tion of the country. The modern growth
of magnificent Industries In the South has
finally proven the mistaken nature of this
belief, but nothing but the experience
which could come only through the con
test of a sanguinary war would ever have
eradicated the error.
"My grizzled and 'esteemed fellow-cltl-zens
of the Grand Army of the Republic,
I have no desire to recall, in detail, the
four awful years which followed. It l
all too painfully real to you to this day.
Your deeds and records stand In the his
tory of your country, marking you as
the highest type of patriotic mahho&d to
be foifnd in the world's annals. I mean
all that this implies. I would not In this
presence, nor especially upon this occa
sion, say aught merely for effect, nor
what I would not and have not always
said upon this subject. As long as there
yet walks upon the soil of his country,
anywhere, a Grand Army man. he will
be a living monument to that matchless
uprising of the people In the Interest of
popular and free government, which will
I appeal to the admiration of the human
l race for all time. To have been an hon
I orably discharged soldier in that ijreat
Union Army which was commanded by
Grant, and Sherman, and Sheridan, and
their renowned associates, and to have
obeyed the suggestions of the great Lin
coln, as he slowy yielded his life undci
the burdens he uncomplainingly bore,
through that four years' crisis, Is to have
earned a crown of honor which is a
passport to National Immortality.
"No man can stand In the sacred pre-
ior us unicnown dead, wunout retrac
ing the history of his country back to
those dark days of '61, and, as he looks
down those almost Interminable rows of
white headstones, he must be- phenoml
nally dwarfed, Indeed, If his heart is not
surcharged with a feeling of increased
love of country and determination to live
for its best Interests and to be guided
by the highest Impulses of his nature
that he may honor himself, his fellow-citizens
and be a credit to the Creator of
us all.

by the sacrifices you so cheerfully yielded
upon Its altar In the days and years of
Its greatest danger and distress.
"You have come to this far Western
Coast to add your efforts to the upbuild
ing of what win some day be one of our
greatest and most prosperous states. In our
latest National difficulty, when It became
necessary to vindicate our National honor
by administering a castlgatlon to Spain
for her treacherous brutality, the sons of
this later generation showed themselves
worthy of their sires by the prompt man
ner In which they came tb the defenre or

crisis was not to be compared to that of

today that we have no North or South In
the sense which prevailed 40, or even 30
years ago, but rather a people united
under one flag and .equally jealous of Its
honor and integrity.
"My honored friends and fellow-citizens
of the Grand Army of the- Republic, may
you live to enjoy many more annual re
unions In this goodly land you have done
so much to preserve and glorify, and let
us all, upon this occasion, renew our de

welfare of Its people."

Commander-in-Chief Rassleur delivered
an excellent address at Marsh Hall, as

NO. 1 SCRUD DAIRY COW.
She Give 20 Pound of Mlllc Per
Day, or 2.7 Pound Of Bnttcr.
8ALDM, Or. June 27. P. N. Lathrop, a
farmer residing near Liberty, south of
Salem, has a Jersey cow that is thought to
bo the equal, If not the superior, of any
in the state, so far as butter-making Ts
concerned. On a seven days' test, the
cow gave an average of 29 pounds of milk
per day. The mlk tested 8.1 per cent
butter far, which would mean a yield of
2.7 pounds of butter per day. The cow
has not been given special feed for tho
purpose of this test, but has been out on
pasture, without any grain feed. She
has been giving milk steadily for nine
months. A friend of Mr. Lathrop's ex
pressed the opinion that no cow would
give two pounds of butter per day, and
this test was made to determine what this
cow Tas doing under ordinary circum
stances, and with the usual farm feed.
The cow is a full-blood Jersey, but Is what
Mr. Lathrop calls a "scrub."

will do considerable damage. This has,
been a splendid season for the growth of
grass, and t'Je farmers are in hopes of
harvesting a good crop of hay.
rRUIT CROP A TOTAL LOSS.
Farmcri Cnn't Agree an to Dnmncrc
to Bnlccr Connty Grnln by Front.
BAKER CITY, June 27. Farmers are
undecided as to the amount of damage
worked by the frost in this vicinity some
two weeks ago. Some say the damage to
wheat and grain will be slight, where It
was not frozen below the joint. Others
say the stalk will grow up all right, but
that It will be minus a head with grain
in it.
Acareful examination of the orchards
of Eastern Oregon has convinced everyone
that the fruit crop Is practically a total
loss.
In the past four days this section has
been visited by another cold snap, but
as all the damage possible was done by
the frost of a fortnight ago, the recent
cold spell has passed without much no
tice. WOOL SALES AT SIIAN'IKO.
