Wheeler nl this city : Tis good to meet the veterans We knew in eary days : To meet itieui here in Washington Tnree thousand miles away ; To hear again of victories They won against the foe Who worried at in early days . When limes were rather slow. Some were in early . C.iyuse war Way hack in '46 When in t.io Inland Empire, far, Whitman had met hia fate; And some were there in '55 In Kamiaokan's time ; When that old hero tried to drive The Bostons from his clime. And some wore in Rogue River's Vale When Indian John was kiu; And many settlers hearts turned pale To hear his war-wLoop ring. But here they are together come, To town site of the Nation, To give our legislators some Reliable information, Of course you must succeed-Old Boys Who never knew defeat; So brace up make your shure of uo'iec-- And you'll be Hard to beat. Sail in and hammer them with facts Of times that used to ue, When savages mude fierce attacks Anil made them frequentlce. Toll the in how gallant Sherid.m Arrived a little iato To light his lirst live battle when Tue Cascades roared at fate. The little man was there on hand Just like a thousand o'brick, And if the braves had made a stand He'd licked em mighty quick. But as he came up from Vancouver Two steamers came from Dalles, Whose whistles mahed the Oa9?adea over And made them climb the hills Tel! them about the far Palouse, Walla Walla and Grand Rondo; Tell them But, Bless me I What's the use? Show tueiu the scars you've earned; Tell Inw they made their arrows whiz Against your weather ear. Then If they understand their bis,; No more they'll need to hear, But make their minds up to submit A Relief Vetrans Bill, To let our true War Vetrans get Pensions from Samuell's till For Uncle Sam has got a till Where all his cash mitlites, And if you win yuur case he will Foririve you all your rights. Twas a truly thing for you to come To Washington itself, To urge your righteous claims that hung So long time ou the sheif. You've had a long, long time to wait To get your compensation, But you will win b sure as Fate And this ere Yankee Nation Shall honor you and pension you For Dattles long since won, The sum tbe nation owes to you Full half a century gone. And this wont be the least of all The battles you have fought ; In your old age 'tis not small Such victory to have wrought. NawitkaSix! Oh, Tillicums ! Long years yet may you live!

Under the head "The Willamette on a Tear at Albany" last evenings Telegram baa second article on the situation at this citv, in which it says: Giave fears are entertained by the cit izens of Albany tuat a cnange in the Channel of the river at that point will re sult from the heavy rains. Already con siderable dirt has heuu reuiovtd iy the rushing wateis Bnd the situation has been maue Known to the uuueu suiea engineers of this city. Captain Langfitt, under whose j iris diction tbe upper Willauietto coniei, is out of the city at present, but will in all probability give the matter his atteucion upon hie return and either make an in vestigation in person or cause it to be made by some one on his staff. Whether or no' any relief can ba given in the event the situation should warrant action on the part of the government en gineers is another question. J here la at present no money available for upper river improvement, ana as it ie very doubtful whether the river and harbor bill will pass at ibis session of congress. the outlook for Oregon river improve ments is not I lie most roseate, to oay the least. As no appropriation was made by con gress for Willamf tie River improvements last year all work on the upper liver had to be abandoned early in the tail, by rea son of the exhaustion of the nppropria lion mado two years ago. In i.is estimation of the need of Oregon rivet B and harbors for this year, Captain Langtitt asked for $50,000 for the upper Willamette and Yamhill Rivera. This estimate appeals in his report to the de partment for the yerr 1900. Unless cou gresa passes the general river aud harbor appropriation bill-, therefore, Albany need look for little assistance from the government engineers in averting the danger that threatens her through the cutting ol a new channel.

A Law Writer. The following comes from Salem : Attorney-General Blackburn is the author of the leading article in the last issne of the Central Law Journal. In this article he gives an exhaustive dis cuBBion oi the subject of the revocation of the will of an unmarried woman by her marriage. This is a question of law iiDon which there lias been great diver sity if opinion, owing to the many stat utes in recent years enlarging tii9 rights of married women, and Judge Black burn's presentation of the effect of these statutes upon the common law ruios will a prove valuable addition to the legal literature on this important sub ject. Judge Blackburn's conclusion is that unuer a etatute sucn as reierreu to a woman's will is revoked by her subse quent marriage Prof. W. H. Raymond, the archaeolo gist will organize a society of Archaeolo gista at thd Univerealist church noxt Wednesday night, when lie win uonver a talk on tliiB interesting subject. The new I O. O.
