Standing at the other end of the
kighway of Ufa la the Grim Beaper
x with bis every feusy sickle, and aa we
one toy one approach the gsto he
fathers us to the granary of the
great unknown.
For some the road to short and
the harvest appears to have been' or
dered before the crop has ripened,
while yet for others the path leads
on and the gathering eeems to be de
layed. Mayhap that we, the
living, might view the sturdy
talk and well tilled grain
and better tend and cultivate
our own particular field by the
standard thus left before us. It this
over he the case then none of better
worth could have (been chosen than
Uncle, Jim and Uncle Billy. Their
duties, their labors and their smiles
In the App legate valley have ceased.
Their open faces and their glad
"good mornings" are seen and heard
no more among their countless
friends, and yet the lengthening
years will be long tn erasing from
this community the example of man
hood. Integrity and Justice ever
preached and practiced toy these two
soldiers of truth and right.
They camped and tramped the hos
tile Indian prairies when Omaha, St.
Joseph and Denver were only vil
lages, and from the experiences indi
dent to such careers they builded
characters unassailed and unques
tioned. Both had gambled their young
manhood on the altar of their coun
try and tooth trad chosen tor their
home the ever-green hills and sunny
valleys of Southern Oregon long be
fore there was either a Grants Pass
or a Medford. They were settlers
In the time of the clanging freight
teams to Crescent City and the stage
coach to Marysville. Their younger
eyes saw the uncountable buffalo of
the Dakota and the unconquerable
pony express riders of the untamed
plains.
They had tasted the waters of the
pioneers' success and knew the tang
of the adverse winds of failure. This
place to them seemed home and their
'every effort had been to make it
seem the same for others.
Both were living on borrowed
time and the interest having become
due, they have gone, to settle the
account with the bookkeeper who
never errs, and the banker who jeal
ously guards our every saving.
If, aa we oft-times read, "An hon
est man is the noblest work of God,"
then the life and memory of Uncle
Jim Gilmore and Uncle Billy Han
num are beacon lights to all who
knew them, pointing always on and
up, teaching us that the values of
this world are found only in the
practice of those virtues which bring
the smiles of children and the love
of neighbors.
May we hope and live that the end
of the "long, long trail" will find
us aa it found them, with a number-
lees host of sorrowing friends and
cherished memories, the fruits of a
life of service, kindness and charity
built as was theirs on the impreg
nable foundation of the Golden Rule.
ON RUSSIA'S FUTURE
Omsk. Siberia, Mar. 5. (Corre
spondence of the Associated Press.)
Admiral Kolchak. head of the
AU-Rusaian government, speaking
recently In Ekaterinburg before a
conference of members of the Duma,
lomstvo and other organisations, re
iterated his belief In democracy for
Russia, declaring it to he "the only
admissible form of future govern
ment."
Bolshevism, he said, is destroying
the very foundation of authority tn
the country and means a desperate
struggle tor a long time. '
At present, he 'pointed out, condi
tions sometimes force the govern
ment to employ means which do
not correspond with principles of de
mocracy, but he assured his hearers
that such measures were temporary
and that steps were heing taken to
insure universal suffrage, labor and
land legislation and to develop or
gans of aelt government.
"The government endeavors to
maintain and strengthen friendly re
lations with the allies," said the dic
tator. "Russia was alarmed by the
Invitation to send her delegates to
Princes Islands to negotiate with bol
shevik!. Now this question is set
tled. The statesment of western
Europe now see the truth and blame
the bolshevikl, calling them murder
ers and terrorists, as did Lloyd
George.
"The government is inspired with
the ideal of restoring the mother
land. It is not called upon to settle
all fundamental questions. The Rus
sian people are master of its fate.
Released from the yoke of toolshe
viem H will, through its representa
tives in a national assembly, express
its will In regard to its form of gov
ernment and its social structure.
Then the present government will
transfer its power to such an author-
tied government.

rection was supported also by Chris
tian end Buddhist bodies.
- The Buddhists in Korea number
about one million. They have 2,000
temples and 100,000 priests. The
Japanese have attempted to use Bud
dhism to strengthen their position in
Korea, 'sending many young priests
to Japan to be educated. Neverthe
less, many Buddhists are believed to
have been closely connected with the
insurrection.
Christianity has made rapid pro
gress in Korea for 30 years. Two
large missionary bodies are working
there. The American Methodist mis
sion has 750 churches and 100,000
followers, while the American Pres
byterian mission has 2,000 churches
and about 200,000 adherents. The
Korean Christians are mostly men
of character and have received high
er education.
The demonstration in favor of in
dependence -which began in nearly
all towns and. Villages throughout
Korea on March 1, were at first or
derly and limited to the delivery of
speeches and distribution of copies
or manifestos. Later the movement
took a distinctly revolutionary char
acter and this resulted in clashes
with the Japanese authorities and In
casualties on both sides.

When Kaiser Bill's embatled Huns were doing stunts with swords and
guns, you were a dead game sport, we know, who breathed defiance to ths

You sold the cow, your car you pawned, so you could buy another bond!
With loyal boys you held the fort; you were In' truth, a dead game sport.
