FRIDAY, JUNE 6, 1013.
f AGE KIGHT
MEMORIAL TKII51TK TO
THE NATION S DEFENDERS.
Newman Methodist Episcopal
church wag filled with citizens of
Grants I'asg who gathered on Friday
afternoon to express by their pres
ence the gratitude they felt for the
services rendered by the boys who
wore the blue. It was the day when
the nation revered the memory of
thoHe who had gone before, and
blessed the presence of those still
uctive in the walks of life.
The observance of the day was in
charge of committees from the Grand
Army of the Republic and the Wo
men's Jtellef Corps. Following the
opc'ilng music and the reading of
tho general orders, Lincoln's Gettys
burg address, which must stand for
all time as a classic of its kind, was
given by Mrs. Sam Daker. Com
mander Patrick of the G. A. It. gave
an address of welcome, and following
songs by the quartette and a rccita
tlon by Miss Ulda Hasler, seven boys
sang "Our Flag Shall Never Touch
the Ground."
Tho memorial address was doll v
cred by Hon. E. E. Ulanchard, and
was a scholarly and eloquent tribute
to the occasion. Mr. Ulanchard said
in part:
"I'atrlots In war; patriots in peace;
men und Women of '01, I Greet
You,
"I greet today the boys who drove
oppression from the IhIo of Cuba and
planted there the great principles of
liberty and equality, guaranteeing
that neither within our borders or at
our doors shall any man be ground
under tho Iron heel of tyranny.
"I greet today' every lover of lib
orty who says by his presence hero
that ho wIbIics to do honor to the
noble men and women who laid their
sacrifices on tho altar of their coun
try. I come today with a heart full
of grat.lt udfl and reverence for the
living an well as testimonials of af
fection and homage for tho dead. Ex
prosslvo of this honor, this reverence,
this gratitude, this devotion, the na
tion today pauses in lis almost cease
less tread of commercialism, ami for
a moment, as It were, stands with
uncovered head, while flowers, gath
ered hy loving hands from nature's
choicest laboratories, aro strewn upon
the graves of our triumphant sol
diery. "Why flowers? liecauso they aro
emblematic of tho resurrection, lie
causo tlioy aro tho choicest of heav
en's gift to mon; because their frag
ruuco and dlvino coloring surpasses
all efforts of man to Imitate and we
wish to honor our heroes with tho
choicest, tho purest and tho most
beautiful that comes to us from Him
who created the rainbow and the
stars and transplanted their blended
colorings to earths llrmaineiit, thai
wo may glean from forest, Hold and
glen those living gems which so
strongly appeal to our esthetic na
ture and spread them as a carpet of
spotless purity upon tho green roof
above tho silent chambers of our
heroic dead. Can anything bo more
appropriate, expressive of more de
votion, or more fitting as a tribute
of respect? There, tonight, peace
fully sleeping beneath the bowers of
roses, placed there with their wilder
ness of coloring resplendent In rain
bows all brightened by the gorgeous
light of a suspended sunset, lies the
American soldier wrapped in the
drapery, the American Mag. awaiting
tho resurrection.
"Timely indeed was the thought of
General Logan to set asldo u day
commemorative of the lives, the sac-1
rllh es and the depart lire of our heroic i
dead, J

one day should bo set apart, not as

The returning Mazamas were al
most extravagant In their praise of
the outing and Its management, and
nf the courtesies extended by the
people of Grants Pass and of the
country traversed in coming and go
ing. The good roads especially meet
ing with commendation, Col. Hofer
aptly expressing the sentiment when
he said "I have seen the caves and I
have been over the best roads in the
state of Oregon." All were surprised
that mountain roads could be so ex

President Campbell of the State
University, and Prof. Rebec of the
same Institution, belated in arriving
at the caves, were guided through by
Elijah Davidson, the original discov
erer of the caverns. These gentle
men were especially pleased with the
caves, and thought that greater ef
fort should be made to make them
accessible to the general public, and
Pres. Campbell proposed that a sci
entific survey should be made of the
caves. He said that the university
would be pleased to head such a sur
vey when a full report of this geo
logical wonder could be published to
the world. -
