Percentage of Mortality Rapidly In creasing In Their Ranks No Sur vivors of War of 1812 Left. NEW YORK, May 31. A special to the Herald from Washington says: Veterans of the civil war are dying oft at the rate of about 3,4 per cent pzr annum. Commissioner Evans esti mates that there are about 925,000 sur vivors of the civil war. Of this num ber there were on the pension rolls last year 742,467. During the year 24,787 pensioned vet erans died. Assuming that the death rate among those not pensioned is the same as among the pensioners, the total number of veterans who died during the year would be about 30, 853. The averaga age of the veterans who still survive U about 59 years. The last survivor -jf the war of 1812 died last J summer, 73 yeara after the close of that war. At the same rate there will porbahly be a few survivors of the civil war still living In IS 10. TO THE VOTERS OF COUNTY. CLATSOP Allow ine by this advertisement to bring to your attention my candidacy on the citizens' ticket to the office of superintendent of schools cf tills county, which I filled from 1802 to 1698; not running for the county office in 1898, but carrying the county on the state ticket. I need only say that If you elect me I shall give to this office my first at tention; administering the provisions cf state and county for education, ac cording to the intent of the law the best under free government; visiting the schools personally, encouraging on the Lower Columbia. the teachers and pUplls, supervising their work; seeing that the new state course arranged by State Superlnten dent Ackerman, Is well Introduced and followed, and that some plan of regis tering In the superintendent's office the progress and deportment of pupils, Is carried out. Other advantages, ' such aa school libraries, or library, already to some extent enjoyed; and the best possible arrangements for institute work for the teachers will be given the attention- within my means; and the more liberal provisions of the new law will make It possible to perform these duties with more ease and dig nity than heretofore. Some objections brought against me I think will be found trilling, and made chiefly for the purpose of a little cam paign amusement. It is hardly neces sary to assert my loyalty, or to say that with all Americans. I approved the war of liberation for Cuba, declar ed by congress, cr even in the Philip pines, if prosecuted for the same en-Is. The thought cf the poem, for which I have been bantered, was of sympathy with a man who was reported In the dispatches as refusing to give up his struggle, even though offered money ard office; and that for this act he was entitled to the name of hero rather than enemy, and therefore it was no treason to send him greetings of even aid and comfort. Whether or not the sympathy was Justly placed, all In tent of disloyalty was disclaimed in the piece itself; and, Indeed, who cannot but deplore the policy that has made enemies of a struggling people, or not wish that the policy declared as the will of congress In Cuba, had been announced to the Filipinos as the poli cy of the administration? However, these events are now past, and the liberty and good will that the American people Intend for the Phil ippines, must be reached in ways not yet clear; neither Is this any matter for the public schools. I can rely with great confidence up on the fairness and good Judgment of the voters of Clatsop county, and if elected it shall be my aim and pleas ure to serve you to the best of my ability. H. S. LYMAN, HUMMER RESORTS. "To the mountains our people in In creasing numbers yearly look for those days of relaxation and recreation nee essary to maintain the human ma chine In fair working condition. The languorous sloth of the seashore proves very seductive while it lasts, but many have decided that the an nual outing should provide not only radical change of air and surround ings, but also such stimulation of flagging energies as will provide brawn and vigor for the return to labor. For this they urge the mountain climb and ramble, the balsam of the mountain pines, and the clear, unadulterated mountain air. "In this direction the Shasta Route now affordd a wealth of attractions, The entire line of road from Ashland to Redding is studded with charming and accessible hotels and camps, where are cheer and comfort and healing at reasonable cost, and where you can hunt, fish, ride, loaf, or play with equal facility. "Or if you look for healing waters, none better can be found, hot or cold, than the springs of Ashland, Coles tin, Anderson, Bartlett, Byron and Paso Robles. "Before visiting Europe, the people of the Northwest should see the glories of Yosemlte valley, and the wondrous groves of Mariposa and Calaveras; the Parisians are likely to make In quires concerning these attractive re sorts." Send to Mr. C. H. Markham, general passenger agent, Portland, for new booklets on Castle Crag, Shanta springs, McCloud river, Yosemlte. and excursion rates thereto. IMPROVED SERVICE AND EQUIP MENT.

The Indebtedness of the county Is over tlOO.OM), necessitating the payment of a large Interest ac count, and no effort has been used to decrease this Indebtedness, while the taxpayers are burdened with excessive taxation," Briefly annwerlng the above clap-trap.
