Rev-
Uncle Joe Reavls is dead. Those
five words contain a message that
causes genuine sorrow In the hearts
of the people of this city and county.
"Uncle Joe-' he was to us all, the
kinship being or the heart, the fa
nillar name always spoken in affec
tioa and respect.
Uncle Joe received only what he
first gave. No larger heart ever
throbbed In a human breast. Like
Abou Ben Adem, he loved his fellow
man, and made that love manifest
In hi3 dally life. Always kindly
and cheerful, ljls face was a bene
diction to many weary workers. Did
you ever hear Uncle Joe say an un
kind word about anybody?
The chiefest among his many vir
tues was his tQ'Jghtfulness the
rarest as well as the choicest gift
that is given man. He always did
the right thing n the right way at
the right time.

iltimate dest nation of the Oregon

AH the budding the line will do will

jf room for new feeders in the state
and the m'.leige which we Intend to
add to our system will be confined

A movement has been started to
erect at Salem a suitable monument
to the memory of Samuel L. Simp
son, the well known Oregon poet,
who wrote. "Beautiful Willamette."
Mr. Simpson was an alumnus of Wll
amette university and It was thought
fitting that the movement to procure
the memorial to the poet should have
Us start at the university and that
the monument should stand near it.
An association for the purpose has
teen formed among the alumni of the
unlveristy. it is intended to inter
est the entire Northwest in the move

ABOARD A SUBMARINE.
The Crew, th Work and the Kind of
Life the Man Lead.
Life aboard a submarine ts not so
unpleasant or dangerous as one might
Imagine, but it is entirely different
from that led on other tyes of ships.
The crew, usually consisting of two
officers SDd fourteen wen. is selected
from volunteers after a most rljjld
medical examination. Service rarely
extends beyoud period of two years,
and real work on a submarine la limit
ed to about tbree weeks In the sum
mer and one In tbe winter. Daring the
remainder of tbe time the men live on
a ''parent" ship or on shore. Tbe boat
la, however, put through tbe various
evolutions once every week.
Tbe first Impression on entering
submarine Is one of beat, tbe air ltelug
rather close snd heavy, but the men
soon become accustomed to It. 8tnnd
Ing room sae U about six and one
balf feet, sod toward both ends the
boat tapers away alnioat to a point,
There are no portholes. The bntcbwsy
In the conning tower Is the only aper
ture. Under water electric light Is
used. There are. ven.filators, bnt when.
the boat dives they are shut off with a
cap.
I.lfe on hoard a submarine Is essen
tially "In rommon.M The way men
snd many objects are crammed to
irethor in a narrow space ta almost
miraculous.
Cnoklim l done In an electric oven,
and no foods which have a strong or
dlsiicrreahlp anicll are used. Of course
smoking Is allowed only when on the
surface snd then on the bridge. Ow
hifr to the character of the men select
ed discipline Is perfect.
There Is wnroely any noise In a sub
marine when sulmiorpod. The jrreatest
depth the 1mm t descends does not ex
ceed thirty foot. At thnt depth her
lod Is nlmut 8 knots. The air Is
quite "tires I battle" for fnur hours, but
In case of emergency tfie crew can re
main closed In for seventy hours with
out danger.
The men love the life. With the offi
cers they nre ns one family, ahnrlng
everything equally. Including the dan
gers, which nre not much to penk of.
provided every one does his duty.
When the went her Is fnlr there ts very
little rolling. In rnngh weather the
men escape knocking about by holding
on to "steadying lines."-New Tork
rress.

They G.t Through Th.lr Work Quickly
and With Llttls Fuss.
Tbe working of tbe British jury sys
tem exhibits a marked contrast with
that of our own. It ts possible that my
experience In British courts was ex
ceptional, but In not a single instance
did I see a juror challenged or reject
ed. In all of the courts requiring ju
ries tne necessary number of men
were present, and they were sworn In
without question. In the sheriff's dep
uty court In Scotland the presiding
judge gave notice to the jury that be
expected to adjourn tbe court at 2
o'clock and stated that If they could
all remain until tbat bour he would at
once dismiss the men wbo had been
called for a second panel. The jurors
conferred together and decided to re
main 111! 1 o'clock, whereupon tbe
judge notified tbe other men to appear
at 1230. The one jury Impaneled for
the rooming session rendered six ver
dicts In cases Involving prosecutions
for thefts, fraud snd burglary.
In-the court of quarter sessions at
Taunton. England, I saw a single jury
in one day render eleven verdicts. I
found that It was customary In tbe
several sorts of court that I sttended
for tbe same jury to act In successive
esses. In no Instance did I see a jury
leave their seats to make up tbelr ver
dict. Usually the issue before them
was made so plain that all who gave
attention knew In advance what tbe
decision would be. I made note of an
exceptional Instance of delay wben tbe
court was forced to wait nine minutes
for tbe report of the jury. In Ibis case
tbe judge who gave the Instructions
was himself in doubt as to what the
verdict ought to be.
A Scottish jury consists of fifteen
pel-sous, and a majority may render a
verdict. In England tbe number is
twelve, and tinanlnilty Is required. But
1 noted no difference as to practical
results In the two countries. The
twelve men in the English jury were
as prompt and certain In their action
as were tbe eight out of fifteen In tbe
Scottish Jury. McClure's Magazine.
