MEMORIAL DAY.
Beautiful Day For Beautiful
vice How It Was Observed.
Ser-
It would seem that even the elements
joined in commemorating Memorial Day,
and after veiling her face and dropping
a few tears npon the graye of our dead
heroes, the heavens were lit up and the
sun in all its glory went before as a
pilar of fire escorting the procession to
the cemetery.
In the morning the cemetery was
crowded with those who remembered
the loved and lost by strewing their
graves with beautiful flowers, and as
they left the city of the dead it bloomed
as a garden of sweetest blossoms.
At 1 :30 o'clcck the Commercial Club
band played a number of selections as
the procession formed on the corner of
Second and Washington, as follows,
with Capt. Bartell as officer of the day :
Led by the band, . the militia followed'
then the G. A. B. and Sons of Veterans;
the W. R. C. and bringing np the rear
were a large number of citizens in car
riages. Beaching the G. A. B. cemetery a
male quartet sang a very pretty and ap
propriate selection which the occasion
caused to be the sweeter and more sol
emn. Sen. Vice Commander Aikea then
read the ritualistic service, which is
beautiful and impressive, and at its
close the G. A. R. and Sons of Veterans
deposited flowers at the foot of the mon
ument in memory of the fallen heroes
of their various regiments. It is always
very solemn service when the gray
haired veterans, whoee ranks are rapidly
thinning, perform this service in honor
of their lost comrades. A thrill passed
through every breast as Private Bentz,
a volunteer of the late war, limped to
the monument and dropped the token
of love in memory of those so dear to
many hearts who have fallen as mem
bers of the Second Oregon Volunteers,
and coming nearer to our own heart
stones, Capt.' Bartell remembered those
who were members of Company L and
from The Dalles William Fields and
Henry O'Flaherty. - .
Tears stood in many eyes as the mi
utia boys filed round and deposited the
beautiful flowers in honor of the fallen
aeaa ot Company Li. Most every mem
ber, in the ranks of Company D. has en
listed since our brave boys . marched
forth to real battle, and while thoughts
of our absent heroes filled the breast, at
the same time a feeling of satisfaction
and trust as to our. future prevaded all
as they beheld the noble faces of , those
who are preparing to march forth to the
first call that may be given- They are
a brave lot and made a splendid show
ing. ...... ............
Returning to the city, the G. A. R.,
and militia marched to Fraternity ball,
where the W. R. C. served a fine
lunch to the old and young boys in blue,
who. never missing the hard tack, thor
oughly enjoyed the spread.
At 7 :30 o'clock .the G. A. R. and W.
R. C. met at their hall and etcorted by
the militia, n: arched to the Methodist
church, where, after two beautiful selec
tions by a quartet composed of Messrs,
Landers, Northup, Doane and Lundell,
a scripture lesson by Rev. Rushing and
prayer by Rev. Wood, Rev. Poling de
livered an address which was as eloquent
and able an effort as a Dalles audience
has listened to for some time. He
opened his remarks by saying tha't his
tory is one continued argument in favor
of the doctrine of the equality of man
kind, and war, although a harsh teacher
of this important doctrine, must be
heeded ; we cannot turn away. Review
ing the history of the wars from early
days to the . present . war, the speaker
proved that all had for their incentive
this one end. The Almighty desires that
each nation make the most of itself by
an unselfish policy, and America's motto
should be "America for the world."
Humanitarianism should be our watch
word.
In closing be said American hearts
ask not why' we keep Memorial day, bat
do so with hearts full of love and are
glad of an opportunity to do so. "We
feel tonight that the great heart of the
nation beats in gratitude to the Grand
Army ot the Republic. As you near
the mustering out time may your last
hour be fall of hope. And may God
bless our boys now on the field of battle
and restore them to us soon."
All joined in singing America at the
close of the address, and Memorial day
ended with its strains ringing in the ears
of the congregation.
Alumoi Keunlon.
On Monday evening, a happy event
took place at the High school building of
Lis city. It was the annual reunion
and reception otthe Alumni Association
of The Dalles schools. The room was
tastefully decorated with potted plants
and cut flowers, while on the blackboard
was drawn, by Miss Violet Kent, the
ikenessof Supt, John Gavin, wreathed
with, laurels, and above the picture were
inscribed the words "Our Pride."
At nine o clock, when all had as
sembled, President Edward D. Baldwin
called the meeting to order.' The result
of the election of officers for the ensuing
year was as follows : President, Mr.
George Bnch ; vice-president, -Mies Maie
Elton ; second vice-president, Miss
Nonah Rjwe; eecrctary, Miss Elizabet
Bonn ; treasurer, Daton Taylor.
A happy feature of the evening was
the permanent enrollment of Prof. And
Mrs. Gavin as honorary members othe
association. After the business session
came the program which had been
pared as follows:

All present then repaired to Jibe table
where dainty refreshments mere served.
Prof. Gavin presiding as foastmaster, j
added greatly to the mirth 01 the even
ing. The first formal toast VOur New
Class" by Daton Taylor, ana the re
sponse by Nettie Fredden of the) class of
'99 were well ' received. "Progress of
the Alumni" by Miss Beulalf Sterling,
was an able address, and welrrepreeented
the general interest of thsilumni.
Dr. O. D. Doane, thenly member of
the school board wb was able to be
present, was then called upon for an ex
temporaneous toast. His encouraging
advice and good ' instruction certainly
penetrated the hearts of 411 present and
bis words will not soon be forgotten.
Twelve or more informal toasts followed,
interspersed with muclf merriment and
laughter. Very interesting letters were
then read from Walter Dickev, of Hood
River, Herman Heppner, of Portland,
Homer Angell and Charles Campbell, of
the University of Oregon.
At 12 o'clock the old friendship song
"Anld Lang Syne" was sung and thus
ended this pleasant evening ever dear to
the memory of its participants.
Judging from the large attendance
and' the fact that each class was repre
sented at this meeting, it is certain that
interest is awakened in the-practice of
reuniting each year with friends and
classmates, to join in happiness and pay
tribute to the absent ones.

had more than a passing interest in the
game.
As the "cock of the dry goods roost"
walked onto the field togged in scarlet
and purple, "Billy McKinley," the
mascot for the Mays & Crowe push,
stepped up as if to do him up in the first
inning, but concluded he'd wait until
