ened their tent shoulders yesterday as
they marched once again to the strains
rtt martial music. They marched, with
the eoldiers of today and tomorrow,
making one of the biggest Memorial
day military paravles Portland has
seen.
For the Grand Army the event of
the day, aside from the customary ob
servances at the graves, was memorial

under a canopy of American flags and

from .every flagpole. Thousands of
people were out to do their chare in
decorating the graves of the dead and
thousands . viewed the military parade
and attended the memorial services.

a big military escort the Grand Army

"War, the Mexican War
. and the Indian "Wars marched from
their meeting place at the Courthouse
down Fourth street to Yamhill, west on
Yamhill to Thirteenth street and soutn
on Thirteenth to the German House.
The parade was headed by a platoon
f police under command of Police
Lieutenant Harms. Every member in
the platoon was a Spanish War veteran.
T. B. McDevitt was grand marshal of
the parade, with J. AY. Curran and I Q.
AlUrich as his aides. They marched be
hind the police platoon and carried the
Graild Array and Spanish War veteran
flags and banners.
The Oregon National Guard and the
Oregon NavfU Militia and the sons of

tary escort for the veterans. The Ore
gon National Guard' was on hand with
11 companies from all parts of the
state. The Third Regiment was led by
its military band. The ambulance com
pany brought up the rear.
Sons of Veterans Participate.
Behind the Third Regiment came the
Coast Artillery band and companies of
this branch of the service, followed by
Troop A of Cavalry and a division iof
the Oregon Naval Militia and the Naval
Militia band. These companies were
followed by the junior militia with a
big representation.
The sons of veterans' drum corps
made its usual fine showing with a
large turnout or drummers and lively
martial airs. Behind the corps was
the United Spanish YVar veterans, con
tingent, several hundred strong, fol
lowed by the Sons of Veterans' organi
zation with a good representation.
Then came the Grand Army with the
F.Iks' band at its head. Each one of
the silvery haired marchers carried a
silk llag. At the head of the rapidly
diminishing column was Russell Cham
berlain, bearing the colors. Following
the marching veterans was a large con
tingent of the Women's Relief Corps.
Fifteen automobiles brought up the
rear, and .carried the veterans of all
wars who wanted to be in the parade
but were unable to walk.
Thousands Applaad Marchers.
The streets all along the course of
the parade were lined with people, who
gave the veterans a continual round of
applause as they marched by waving
tneir silK nags to the strains of the
bands that preceded them.
On Thirteenth street the National
Guard men came to a halt and stood
at attention and salute while the vet
erans passed. The line extended along
the side of Thirteenth street from
Yamhill street to Main street. The
veterans passed in. front and proceeded
directly into the German House, where
seats had been reserved for them. The
house was crowded to overflowing with
the veterans and their friends.
Charles G. Burton, past commander-in-chief
of the Grand Army, was the
orator of the day at the German
House exercises. He recounted tha
thrills of years from '61 to '65 ami
spoke at length on the duty of men
and women past, present and future,
when their country needs them. Hia
talk was punctuated . by applause and
shouts from the enthused veterans
who occupied the entire lower floor.
- Tribute Is Paid Women.
Mrs. Minnie T. Horseman spoke for
the Women's Relief Corps, paying a
glowing tribute to the women who
served in the war and to the organiza
tion which is now engaged in the
work of assisting the Grand Army.
Prayer was offered by Rev. Daniel
Drew, chaplain of the Grand Army.
The Staples family rendered "Angels'
Serenade" as the offertory. The vet
eran quartet, comprising W. N. Morse,
Dr. J.E. Hall, A. W. Mills and Pro
fessor 5. M. Parvin, sang "Tenting
With You." ( and Mrs. Fred L. Olson
sang "The Star-Spangled Banner."
IF YOU WORRY, READ THIS
"Worry never brought any Rood to
an ybody . But, you say, 'I don' t worry
because I want to, 1 worry because I
can't help it." Or, "I worry because
1 have so much to worry about."
We all have our troubles and worry,
of course, makes matters worse. The
patient generally recognizes this fact
without being able'to profit by it.
The doctor who could meet this ner
tous condition and cure it would be
the most popular medical man alive.
I5ut he cannot do it because the form
oi nervous exhaustion known as neuras
thenia, of which worry is a characteristic
eymptom, must be cured by the patient
himself. That is why you should write
today for the book ''Diseases of the
2servous System" and read the chapter
on ".Neurasthenia." So many people
have read it and written back, "This
hits my case exactly, I am giving the
treatment a trial and being benefited,"
that the. Dr. "Williams Medicine Co.,
Schenectady, N. Y. has had a lot of
these books printed and will eend yoa
s copy free on request.
Dr. Will jams' Fink Fills are a non
alcoholic tonic, particularly suited for

GUARD PAYS TRIBUTE
Special ' Services Held for
Heroes of Second Oregon.
CHAPLAIN GILBERT SPEAKS
Programme Carried Out at Slonu
mcnt in Chapman Square Which
Is Wreathed In Flowers That
Are Later Taken to Graves.
The boys of the old Second .Oregon
paid fitting tribute yesterday morning
to the memory of their departed com
rades. Several hundred of the veterans
and their families and friends stood In
the shadow of the Second Oregon monu
ment, in Chapman Square, and held
patriotic exercises.
Chaplain W. S. Gilbert, of the old
Second Oregon and now of the Third
Regiment of the Oregon National
Guard, was the speaker for the occa
sion. He made an appeal for the men
of today to dedicate themselves "to the
great task for which those whose mem
dry we are paying tribute today paid
the last full measure of devotion the
task of protecting the honor of the
Stars and Stripes and humanity."
Dr. Gilbert related a. brief history of
the struggles of the past and the prob
lems which they solved for the Nation
He made an appeal for the citizens of
tha country to stand firm with the
country in the present trying times
when the nations of Europe are in the
throes of the world's greatest struggle.'
Great bouquets of flowers and set
pieces, in the form of the Second Ore
gon badge, were placed on the monu
ment before the commencement of the
exercises. After the manument had
been decorated and a piano moved into
the square under the trees, the pro
gramme was started. Those who par
ticipated stood in a half circle about
the monument, the base of which served
as the speakers' stand.
H. M. Dukes presided at the exer
cises. He read off the rollcall of the
departed comrades and ih due'' mili
tary form a veteran announced each as
absent. He then made a short- talk.
This was followed by a. solo by Miss
Reatha Fowler.
At the close of the services about the
monument the veterans loaded flowers
and set pieces into an automobile truck
and sent them to Riverview Cemetery.
The veterans and their friends went to
th cemetery in autos and by streetcars
and decorated the graves of the heroes
of the Second Oregon, occupying a cir
eular plot about a monument in the
cemetery. The graves were all pro
fusely decorated.
JOBBING RATES LOWERED
Walla Walla Distributor to Get
Per Cent Reduction.
10
WALLA "WALLA. Wash.. Mav SO..
(Special.) A reduction of fully 10 per
cent on distributors' freight rates for
all goods being wholsaled out of Walla
Walla to points In this city's natural
Jobbing territory will be declared by
the O.-W. R. A N. Company In the Im
mediate future, the new rates to go
into effect about July 1, according to
local wholesale men- today.
The new rates will be of great ben
fit to Walla Walla jobbing interests,
and, it is believed, will lead to the
establishment of additional wholesale
houses here. The present rates, job
bers say. make it difficult for Walla
Walla to compete with Spokane and
Portland, even in this Immediate ter
ritory. . '
The members of the transportation
committee of the Commercial Club, of
which Paul L. Voeburg, manager for
Wadhams & Kerr, is chairman, are
authorities for the statement that the
10 per cent reduction will be an
nounced. As yet no official notifica
tion has been sent'out by the railroad
company, but this is expected in the
near future.
