While the few delegate* gave their atten tion to encampment duties, the great mass of veterans who came just to meet up with their old comrades, enjoyed every minute in recalling their past war activities. It is not probable that there will ever be held on the Pacific Coast another national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, now rapidly peaaing away. While many, if not a majority of the boy* who wore the blue, many of whom were paying their first visit to the coast, were astonishingly vigorous, even the youngest had reached or passed the biblical allotted age of man and can expect but a few year* more of life at moat. Future encampments will lie held at more central loca tions in order that the long tiresome journey for the great majority will not be required Portland deeervea great credit for the care and respect given the old boys Not an accident of any char- acter was reported and th« respect- ful and courteous treatment of the old veterans by the soldier* of today who were present, was especially noticeable. Nor should we overlook mentioning th« soldier* of the fu- ture, the Boy Scouts. who were ever ready with canteen* of cold water to quench the thirst of the veteran* while on the ling of march.
