Life of Colonel Garrigus Is
Distinguished.

BY AbDISON BENNETT.
LEWIS CASS GARRIGUS Is dead.
The lust rites were performed on
Thursday afternoon last and the
body was cremated at Mount Scott. He
died In Oregon, the state he loved so
well ana in which he had lived for al
most a third of a century.
This little tribute is not to be a com
plete sketch of his life, for already the
newspapers of Portland have told much
of that. I am writing this on behalf of
the loving. friends he has left behind,
friends who will miss him as all good
and great men are missed men whose
places can never be filled.
Most people thought Colonel Garri
gus, as he was called in Portland, was
a son of the Sunny South, because he
came nere from Kentucky. He was born
lu Indiana, in 1844, was educated in
the University of Indiana, received his
degrees there and did not move to Ken
tucky until Just before the Civil War
broke out. But to all intents and tra-

Pioneer, Who Died Last Week.
ditiona he was an upholder of the ideas
and ideals of what later became the
Southern Confederacy and served four
years under General Joe Johnston as a
private to uphold those ideals. He
served gallantly and determinedly. He
believed the cause was just and was
willing to give his life to that cause.
But when Appomattox came, Colonel
Garrigus laid down his arms, repaired
to his Kentucky home, began the prac
tice of law and teaching, and his every
word and action thereafter were of loe
and loyalty and fealty to his country.
His life work was then to heal the
wounds of sectionalism and strife, to
lead his neighbors and friends in the
direction of a united country, to teach
them to love the flag of the country
that gave them birth.
Colonel Garrigus did not then or
thereafter forget the cause he had
fought for or the lives it had cost in
fighting. He was a true Southerner.
But the Government of the United
States of America was his Government
and in this entire country there was
no citizen more loyal than he. He had
fought the good fight and lost; like a
true friend of the South, he henceforth
determined to forget the strife and en
deavor to bind up the wounds and
stimulate with the oil of love the peace
that he believed should come to North
;iml South alike.
He was a man who never during his
residence in Oregon cared to come out
into the spotlight of publicity. He was
not on who believed that he was ever
right and others ever wrong. There
was too much love in his nature and
loo much kindness in his heart for him
10 have a harsh word or unkind feeling
against those who differed with him in
any way.
Lewis Cass Garrigus is dead, but in
the last years of his life he seemed
10 have but one object in view a peace
between all the nations of the earth.
He looked ahead for the day when the
L'nited States of America would be the
foremost nation on earth, the richest
nation on earth, the nearest to a model
nation of any on earth. And he lived to
see the war over and the dawn of peace
on earth and good will to men shining
like a star from the peace table In
I'rance.
But if you want to hear of Colonel
Garrigus, the patriot, go to any of his
lirrsonal friends; If you want to hear
of Colonel Garrigus of the loving heart,
go to any member of his family; if you
want to hear of Colonel Garrigus, who
loved his country as he loved his life,
go to any person who had followed his
workfl and words and days during the
weary months our boys were fighting
"over there."

Wonderful Duo Art
Requires No Pedaling
In the Duo Art. the air chamber is kept filled with
air without pedaling. This enables the one playing
to devote his entire attention to interpretation,
thus making the instrument a pleasure instead of a
labor.
The Duo Art is ideal for Dancing, as no attention
is required after the roll (any make) is inserted.
Because of the superior Tone Coloring, Time Con
trol, and Solo Accenting Features, the Duo Art
dance music is perfect. The Duo Art is far ahead
of all other Players in these vital features
1. Tone Gradation Having practically twice the num
ber of tone gradations of any other player instrument, pro
ducing perfect "tone color" impossible in any other player.
2. "Time" Control Which not only regulates the time
but instructs and guides the one playing, assuring the correct
interpretation of the selection.
3. Accenting the Solo Bringing out perfectly the solo
(or melody), but at the same time controlling the accom
paniment so that it properly support the solo.
4. Simplicity of Construction No complicated or
troublesome mechanisms, as in other players.
5. Reproducing the Actual Playing of the Great
Pianists With the wonderful Duo Art Rolls as perfectly
as the Victrola reproduces the voice of Caruso and other
great artists.
There are so many interesting things about the Duo
Art rve cordially invite you to come in to see and
hear it.

the centuries. Whether the peace con
ference decides Ireland's fate or not
will not settle the "Irish question." Ire
land is not a question. It is a fact.
And the people of Ireland are only
fighting for all that Mr. Wilson has
promised to the world.
My brother-in-law, Eamonn Ceannt,
commanded the South Dublin Volun
teers, not the Volunteers, as stated in
your paper. He commanded the bat
talion of which Sir Francis Vane spoke
in such eloquent terms, and Sir Francis
Vane's resignation from the army was
largely due to the brutal treatment of
men whom he described as gallant
fighters and chivalrous opponents,
fighting in the cause in . which they
believed, and he as a soldier objected
to shooting such men without trial.
The two following letters written by
my "brother-in-law Just before his exe
cution will prove the type of reren who
went to death to bring about self
determination for Ireland which the
Sinn Fein party has achieved:
"Kilrnanham Gaol, Cell 22, August 5.
1916. I leave to other Irish revolution
ists who may tread the path that 1 have
taken, this advice: Never to treat with
the enemy. Never surrender at his
mercy, but to fight to a finish. I see
nothing gained but grave disaster by
the surrender of 1916 at least as far as
Dublin is concerned.
"The enemy has not given one human
thought, one square chance, to those
who, weak in numbers and with poor
equipment, fought the forces of the.
British Empire and riEked all in thai
glorious fight of Faster, 1916. Ireland
can again boast that this generation
has produced sons as brave as all who
have gone before, and in a short time
to come Ireland will look to those who
saved her soul and her honor in Eastec
1916. For one short week the flag of
the Irish republic waved over the city.
It will wave there again, for Ireland
is stilt a. nation.
"I wish to record the gallant conduct
of the men who fought with me. All
were simply splendid. They were
brave and fearless. Even I had no
fear and shrank from nothing, not even
the death which faces me at daybreak.
I found the soldiers, even those who
fought against us. human and compan
ionable. Thank God, soldiering for Ire
land has tflught me real humanity
where 1 expected to find only scorn
and reproach; nor do I regret with
holding my fire from the soldier who
got away from me under the guise ot
the Red Cross he gave me cakes.
"My poor wife has Just left me and
bore up bravely even after she left my
presence, so my warden tells me. Poor
Alne and poor little Ronan. Michael.
James and Nell have also been here
and were very brave, too. Even now
they have hope. God savo Ireland.
Lioug live the Irish republic.

IRISH VICTORY FORECAST
IT will 1 Week Rebellion Without Hon
Influence, Says Miss O'Brennan.
PORTLAND, Jan. 25. (To the Edi
tor.) As the only clear statement of
conditions in Ireland today given to the
people of Portland appeared in The
Oregonian in an article written by
Edgar B. Piper who has visited Dublin,
I am asking you for the courtesy of
your columns to correct a misstatement
in reference to the Irish rebellion of
Kaster week in Ireland. I thought that
the American mind had at last grasped
the truth that the revolution was not
influenced by Germany. The people of
America have to face truth some time
or another and as statements made are
often left uncorrected by a certain class
of papers which have lost the spirit of
fair play, I think It sufficient to state
that the so-called German propaganda
In Ireland was well threshed out in
the British House of Commons when
Lord "Wmborne. Governor of Ireland,
retired after making the statement that
Ireland was pro-Irish, wanted an Irish
republic and was not being financed
by German gold, or influenced by Ger
man opinions. The banner carried by
the rebels during Easter week, photo
graphed and published by some of the
American papers, bore the words,
"Neither King, Kaiser, but Ireland."
These truths have been verified by
the recent elections in Ireland and the
unity of the Irish people today in estab
lishing their own Parliament. The Irish
situation today Is the result of Easter
week rebellion. The tyrannical treat
ment of the leaders who tried to es-
iblish a republic and the character of.
1 he men executed, who were beloved
by the people, spread the ideals of Sinn
rein (or Irish republic) as no years of
propaganda could have done. The flag
of the Irish republic has never been
pulled down since Kaster week and
1 he men who went to their daath for
the principles in which they believed
knew they were dying for a cause that
no power on earth could kill. That
they were right, the world knows to
day, and all the efforts to besmirch Ire
land and those who are fighting for
her cause will not kill that cai

TRAPPERS REAPING A
RICH HARVEST THIS YEAR
The Higher Prleea of All Hi ad of
Kur r- Mnrh to i heir
(From the New Tork World.)
New Tork. Dec. CS. Trappers
in the Northwest are reaping a
golden harvest this season because
of the prices offered for all kinds
of furs. Never before have these
hardy woodsmen been confronted
with the prospects of such opulence.
All kinds of fur bearers are plenti
ful in the big woods and the
weather so far this season has been
ideal for trapping, there being little
snow to bother, the trappers, whil,
the temperature has been unusuallv
mild.
Ia other years, irp to last, an in
dividual catch of $700 to $1000 In a
season was sufficient excuse, it was
considered, for the lucky individual
to break all the temperance laws in
the state. Then prices took a big
jump and the heavy catch of last
year brought some of the trappers
$2000 to $3000. Now buyers arc of
fering "5 to "i per cent more than
ever before.
Here are some of the prices of
fered Jor extra large. pelt.-: Dawk
mink. 13 to $15; red fox. $25 to $30;
otter, $35; gray fox. $5 to $7: dark
marten, $5 to $0; pale marten. $20
to $25 : muskrat. $2.40 to $2.80: black
skunk. $7 to white weasel, $2. 50
to $3. while the common house cat
skin, if black, brings about 50 cents,
and. if colored, 35 cents down to 10
cents, according to quality. Even
the little ground mole, but little
larger than a mouse, wears a pelt
that is worth 35 cents, and rabbit
skins, dried, are worth about 50
cents a pound.
It Is not alone the Northwestern
trapper who is making big money
these days. The rural trapper who
works his calling In the farming
districts, and even the farm boy
with his half dozen traps, know
what It means to receive big checks
from the fur buyers.
Small fur animals such as skunks,
minks, weasels, muskrats. etc.. seem
to be getting a little more plentiful
each tear The reason assigned for
that is that these animals thrive
best under the conditions of a set
tled section, where hiding ale ciSS
ubout farm buildings, under hay
stacks, etc., are plentiful, and where
there Is an abundance of food in the
shape of farm crops.
Life to many of the small wild
animals Is much easier anil more
secure now. in rural sections, than
it was In the days when the country
wit a wilderness, with a scarcit of
foods and a superahimdance of large
and predatory animals constantly on
the alert to kill and feed on 'the
smaller ones.
