FIFTY veal's ago the first armies were assembling and
the first battles being fought in the civil war that for
four years following deluged the nation with blood.
In the fifty years since then ,the old bitterness has been
forgot i en, tho wounds of the struggle healed; harmony
has replaced discord and the nation" become reunited by
countless bonds.
A new generation, to whom the war and its memories
mean little, has been born and is rapidly rounding out. its
allotted day and passing awav. leaving the world to still
newer generations to whom the civil war means absolutely
nothing.
The thinning ranks of! the Blue ;tnd the Gray each year
bear mute witness to the ravages of time and a few years
more will see the last of the veterans in his last march
in memory of his brothers in strife.
To these survivors of the greatest strife that ever rent.
a liytiou and to their departed brethren, and to conuuem
orate, the cause for which they fought, this day is dedicated.
Let us not forget to pay reverence to those to whom the na
tion must ever hold in lpvjng and grateful remembrance.

BEER ABOVE HUMAN LIFE
TN" view of the result of a recent murder trial at Rose-
burg, it seems to be a greater crime in Rosoburg to sell
a glass of beer than to commit a murder, at least the one is
punished and the other is iiflt.
Selling beer in a dry town is of course a heinous offense.
Shooting a man in the back to-death on the street is a
comparative innocent pastimo. The beer brought a pen
alty of a $y0Q tine and a narrow escape irom a prison sen
te.nce. The murder brought, nothing.
Such a fravesty upon justice that places beer above hu
man hie, cheapens the. law and breeds a contempt lor the
courts in the minds of a disgusted public. ,

Tho coroner stopped at tho McVltty
houso nnd tho sheriff went to the

fused but n moment later ho stepped
to tho door nnd fired three times,
ovory' bullet piercing Fuller's, body.
The shoriff fell dying and Fielder,
standing over htm shot himself In

Totals 259.229 lOO.Ot
If tho population of Portland be ex
cluded, the urban population of Oregon
will be found to be 90.211. or 13.35 Kr
cent of the total. The census of 1990"
makes cavitations in regard to urban
population by excluding cities of 100,000
or more Inhabitants, without, however,
adopting any policy for future action. It
seems reasonable that cities of 100,000
people, and nrllcularly a city of Port
land's situation, should not count In the
urban calculation. Between 19900 and
1910 Oregon's urban population Increased
182.291. of which number Portland gained
lte.TKR. Portland mado this gain not
solely because of its relation to the state
of Oregon, but because or lis relation 10
tho Pacific northwest, of which Oregon
Is only part.
City Is Northwest Center.
Thirty years ago Portland had no
rivals In tho northwest. Between 1885
and lS05 other towns sprang up nnd
shared the northwest field Willi Portland,
and at times seriously oircurnscrilH-d
Portland's portion of the field. Hlnco
1905. or more especially since tho com
plotlon of tho North Bank roud. Port
land has resumed Its old position of be
Ing supreme In the northwest. It Is
now more than ever tho dominant city
In finance and business In this northwest
country, and Its position In this respect
will strengthen rather than weaken
Portland now lives off and is sustained
by the northwest, not by Oregon uloue.
There Is no doubt that thi-ru Is not a
sufficient drift toward the rural dlh
trlcts, ami the Commercial club has
dono good work In calling attention to
this phusu of tint subject. Iteason for
this veering away from tho farms may
bo found to some extent in the fact that
In recent years a whole lot of 135 to $75
an acre farm Janil has been divided up
into so-called apple or other special
lands, and sold or attempted to be sold.
at prices varying from 1300 to J500 per
ncro. much or this land is absolutely
unadapted to tho purpose for which It
Is being? sold. Wliut Is tho result'
l.argu tracts have been withdrawn from
production and the former owner has
moved Into town and Is sporting an uu
tomoblle. It would bo better for Oregon
If our 135 and 176 an aero land wen
left as it was 10 years ugo, producing
hay, potatoes, eggs, butter, cheese unil
livestock. Avhen a newcomer strikes
tho country he Is forced to chooso be
tween paying fancy orchard prices for
farm lands or of going into tlio remote
districts and clearing u patch for him
self. Ilo can hardly bo blamed If, pass
ing up both opportunities to acquire
laud, he looks for "something to dj" In
tlio town.

old town. The bull ring was u huge
circle of ashes, completely wiped out.
After viewing tbe damaged houses
wo were shown some Jlttuser rifles
whoho stocks covered with blood
stains was taken from the federals.
A linen collar with bullet boles
through it was said to have been worn
by some Mexican official who, of
coure, was sunt fed out.
Jt being now lunch hour we went

wrestling with a small Mexican pony
und us the pony seemed to be getting
