MAKE CEMETERY PERPETUALLY BEAUTIFUL.
Dan W. Bass, manager of the Frye hotel, Seattle, was one of the
guests of Salem on Saturday last, -for home-coming day. He drove
over in his auto, accompanied by Mrs. Bass and his sister, Miss Jessie
Bass. ' ;,
.Pan once knew everybody in Salem.
He still thinks of Salem as "home.,r
He has an idea for Salem. v
He wants to contribute ton trust fund to be created for the perma
nent care of the Odd Fellows' cemetery. He will himself contribute
$200 or i30Q or more, provided that a sufficient sum shall be raised,
under the right sort at guarantees to make it perpetual. ; k
Mr. Bass thinks the Odd Fellows should become the trustees for
the proposed fund. He has taken this up with the Odd Fellows, by
letter, two or three times, but nothing has as yet been done.
There is no doubt but this thought has occurred to many people
whose relatives are buried in the Odd Fellows' cemetery, and the
suggestion of Mr. Bass ought to be acted upon If the present is not
an opportune time, the matter should certainly be taken up and put
into proper shape as soon as possible; sayas soon as peace shall come
to the world. Or perhaps it is npt necessary to wait. .. r
The Statesman, would be pleased to give this idea agreat deal of
publicity, in case it can be taken up with, a show of being pushed
through to a successful consummation.
And in making this offer, it is fully realized that it would not be
a short joby in point of time.
But "slicking everlastnigly at it would bring success," in the words
of the advertising text, if it were properly launched and fathered,
and mothered. , 1

P. S. Tyler, President, Botsford-Tyler Co., i .

Dear Mr. Tyler:
As I looked through the last issue of the Saturday Evening Post,
which, because of the ads, I read from the back to the front, I was
very much impressed with the full page "ad" which you prepared
for tin Pheasant Northwest Products Company. As you know, I am
interested in advertising and advertisements,' and I could not dismiss
the thought of the benefits that such advertising will bring to Ore
gon, and particularly the Willamette Valley, picturing, as it does, to
.the Easterner the attractiveness of the great valley.
I am sure that the cost of such advertising might well be paid for,
for our mutual benefit, by the State of Oregon or the counties of the
Willamette Valley. There will unquestionably be at the close of the
war a large influx of people to the Pacific Coast, many with substan
'tial funds, havfcig accumulated them from the nrofits of the war in
dustries-these people looking for
es. It is to my mind just as appropriate, as has often been stated,
that m times of peace prepare for

Tomorrow Is a red-letter day . in
the annals of the United States navy
the twentieth anniversary of the
great battle of Santiago, In which
the fleet, of the Spanish admiral.
Cervera! was utterly destroyed. .
The battle occurred on Sunday,
July 3. 1898. immediately after the
decisive land actions of El Caney and
San Juan had driven the Spaniards
under Generals Linares and Toral
back ' into the city of Santiaeo and
put them upon their last defenses.
General Shafer,, commanding, the
American troops, thought that the
fleet should force the entrance to
the harbor 'and sink Cervera's ships
at their anchorage in the bay.
Admiral Sampson, in Command of
the American squadron, had sailed
away- from the mouth of the harbor!

as he had reached Siboney, about

Commodore Schley, who was in
command in the absence of Admiral
Sampson I at once signaled "Close ac

guns had ' been trained for 3.000

dared, not shed these marked the

knowledge that before - the evening
cl- ed J should have to tell Dicky I
hi. J paid his long ignored bill, to
Touralne Bros., and brave, his cer
tain wrath for meddling in his' af
fairs, weighed heavier, upon me each
moment. That I must also confess
that the paying of the bill had left
me penniless. ' and must ask Dicky
for more money, no matter what
mood he might be in, humiliated me
beyond endurance.
"Missis Ghaham, you are not
eating one ting, what the matter?
Ain't It cooked the right way?
Katie's worried voice, brought
Dicky to nis feet with a start. He
had been in sufh gay spirits, and so
absorbed in his rattling amusing ac
count of the day's hapenings that I
had been able to conceal from him
mv real feelings by smiling at his
nonsense and pretending to eat. At
Katies words he came around, to my
lde of the -table. . t
"What's the matter, sweetheart?
Aren't you feeling well?" .
I have always despised the women
who employ feminine wir3 of tears
and pretended illness to wheedle
concessions from their husbands. I
shall never judge them again. It
took all my will power to keep from
bursting Into tears at Dicky's ten
der wbrds. How I longed to plead a
severe headache or any other illness
to yelld to the petting and tender
care I knew-, would follow, and to
tell, him of. my troubles when all of
his protecting chivalrous nature Was
aroused, and It would be impossible
for him to be angry.
" But it is as imposible for me to do
any of these things as it would be
for me to offer Dicky an unsolicited
caress. I think sometimes of the

"The marble bride", the woman
had said half contentptously. ' I
knew that the name fits me in many
ways. My real feelings are hidden
deep, beneath a hard crust of Inher
ited will power and coldness, and
years of bitter training In self con

tearless as I answered Dicky's ques

for Dicky attacked his dessert, a

"That's better." he said heartily
"Glad you couldeat something. Shall
we ' have our coffee in the living
room?" We' did occasionally, light
ing the gas grate and sipping our coffee-before
it.
"Mighty poor substitue for a log
fire, but. unfortunatly they don't put
old-fashioned fireplaces in most
apartments," Dicky commented when
we had settled ourselves before the
grate and Katie had served the cof
fee there. -
"It's very" cheerful even as it is,"
I answered. 1
"It Is when there's a bully little
wife to share it with a man," re
turned Dicky tenderly. Dicky al
ways calls me "little" when ne Is in
tender mood, although I am quite
above the average woman in stature,
within two Inches of his own height.
In fact.
' "I thought of asking you to take
a little stroll with, me tonight."
Dicky went on, "but it's too com
fortable right here at home. I feel
at peace with the world tonight."
The ringing of the telephone bell
punctured Dicky's: words. He was
visibly annoyed, but to me the sound
was a relief. Anything was' better
than Dicky's childlike enjoyment of
our, home evening contrasted with
my knowledge of' how T soon must I
spoil It. ; yv .7 j."

the puzzling half conversation Which
always falls to the outside listener!
"Yes?" Dicky never answeret"Hel

says "yes?" with the rising Inflect

which I like. v -. .V
"Oh( Lil? You're sounding fine."
"Great." "
" Oh. yes she's feeling bully. I fad

alright today."
"Didn't need you. Why snould
we send for an amateur like you
when there is a professional like me
In the bouse?"
"Yon don't need to take my word
for it. Ask Madge. She'll vouch
for ray ability as a nurse."
"Why. I don't know. Nothing in
particular. Why?"
Then there, was a long pause in
Dicky s end of the conversation.
Even at my chair at the farther end
of the room I could hear the rancous
tones of Lillian Gale's, voice as thev
struck against the "sounder of the
telephone. I could not distinguish
what she said, but she was evidently
very enthusiastic about something,
for she talked very fast, and her
tones showed earnestness.
"Well, we're very comfortable,
where we are, thank you, but 111 ask

Dicky put down the receiver and
thrust one of his handkerchiefs Into
