Hood liver Slacier Thursday, april ia, 1903. 'G. A. R. and W. R. C. Canby Dost Lad a crood meeting Sat urday. Out of a membership of 35 there were 23 present. I he post was Informed by general orders read that the national encampment will meet in ban Francisco, August 17. The usual reduction In fares will be made on all transportation Hues. The comrades were clad to creel their old quartermaster, L. Henry, who was lu the seat be has tilled so satisfac torily for so many years. The judge returned from bis Southern trip look ing better than be has looked for years. There is nothing like a change of cli mate to brace up an old soldier. And there Is nothing like a good quarter master to keep up the Interest in a Grand Army post. If comrades are al lowed to become in arrears for dues they are mighty apt to lose interest in the post. - - H. J. Byrkett resigned as officer of the day, and A. 8. Blowers was elected to All out the unexpired term. Com rade Byrkett '8 resignation was offered because of defective hearing. Comrades J. 8. Bunker of Freewatel", Or., and F. A. bklnuer of Chehalis, Wash., were visitors and gave short ad dresses. Comrade Buuker was proud of being one of the youngest soldiers of the Union army. He enlisted at the age of 15 and served in the 7tb Ver mont. He is a genuine Yank, an in ventive genius, and invented the com plete burglar and fire alarm he exhib ited in our city last week. Comrade Skinner's remarks followed, and it was his proud boast that be voted for Old Abe, in 1804, 23 days before he was 15 years old.' The Joint committee from the post and relief corps, to make arrangements for Memorial day services and the me morial sermon on the Buuday preced ing Memorial day, was lust rue ted to procure a church for the memorial ser mon. All ministers and congregations in the towu and country are invited to join in the exercises on that day. Sun day school children especially are in vited. The members of the post and relief corps will meet at their hall at 10:30 a. m., Sunday, May 24, and march to the church where the sermon will be preached.. Adjutant Cunning's report on the resolutions adopted by I. I. Stevens post of Woodburn, and sent to other posts for their approval or disapproval, was loudly cheered and adopted unan imously by a rising vote. The report follows: Canby Post, No. 16, Dept. of Oregon, G. A. K., March 28, 1903. I. I. Ste vens Poet, No. 61, Dept. of Oregon, G. A. R. Comrades: At the regular meet ing held this date the proposition con tained in your circular letter of recent date, proposing changes In our consti tution allowing soldiers of all other wars membership in our order, was freely discussed, with unanimous dis approval of the changes recommended. By order of the post the adjutant was directed to prepare a paper in answer embodying the wish of the post In regard to the changes recommended. I therefore have the honor to submit the following as my remembrance of the earnest though hasty discussion ou the subject: I. As to the permanence expressed in the preamble, we think it reters to the work of the order, the structural organ ization that is still building under those divine principles, Fraternity and Char ity, under a dome of Loyalty. Its ob jects were, lirst, to strengthen the fra ternal tie norn ot me uiarcu, me biv ouac and the battle in the war to save the Union as a priceless heritage, in which the loss of life was appalling; a sacrifice exceeded by no previous his tory and a heroism that will be an ex ample to all future ages. Those battle born principles, Fraternity and Char ily, existed prior to the formation of our order, but during the war they were subordinate to the crowning prin ciple, Loyalty. " We paused not to weep for the fallen, Who slept by each river and tree" And only in our hearts could we "twine them the wreath of the laurel." Other duties aud other opportunities pressed usonwurd, but that fraternity forged in the tire of battle slumbered noi, slept nut, and the service of other soldiers in other wars, no matter how honorable or meritorious, can not thrill us with the fraternity that warms us to our comrades of those thousands of battle fields from Fort Sumpter to Ap pomattox. 2. "To care for him who bore the battle aud for his widow and orphan." The same undercurrent of comradeship iias been always ready with the open band of charity, and with the power ful Influence of our order has led in having liberal pension laws enacted and in having those comfortable homes established where those of our com rades who have been uu fortunate can live In ease the few remaining years of their lives; besides, lu uregon ana in many other states we have had a law enacted raising a special fund for the ' relief of destitute, needy soldiers. We not only have reverent care for the living, we remember in loving tender ness our dead, and one post service is given each year in their memory, and once each year we march to the last camping ground and greet our depart ed with a tribute f Hag and flowers, and in silence, with uncovered head, salute our cat red dead. 3. To deepen love for our country In all hearts, so that disunion or separa tion would be forever impossible. How successfully our order bus labored for this desired effect let the present aud firomise of the future speak. Tliearmy n which we served conquered the re bellion, but the Grand Army of the Keptlblio bus conquered the reuels, and today the G. A. R. Is welcomed by every Confederate ramp. Our love for them Vas first inspired by respect for their splendid courage and endurance, aud as soon as they had laid down their arms we were readv to receive them into the Union with heart and with hand, until they are now our brothers and next our comrades In our hearts We believed in them, and our belief has been verified by seeing them and their sons battling again for t he Stars and Stripes, to make men free. We have yet a large field to recruit from, as there are many soldiers of the civil war who have not joined our ranks, while thevare. or nianv of them are. reaping the benefits of our order for their betterment. We are glad to be of service to them, and though they may not feel it a duty to join u, we can not withhold our feelings In Iraternu from them, and would not if we cuu but are always ready to give them a soldier's greeting. They do not know what they miss or they would line up with the touch of elbows as of old. But whether we increase, or decrease as we must at no distant future day. we are opposed to the changes asked for in your circular letter. While we would not minimize nor disparage the service of soldiers In any other war, we feel that service in the civil war was peculiar, and the introduction of any other element would not be horuo- geneus. The Woman's Relief Corps, auxiliary to the Grand Army of the Republic, possesses all the elements of permanence as to principles and membership, and we have no desire for any other suc cessor. a - , We are proud of the G. A. R. Some of us have met and taken by the band some of the members of Htephensoo poet, No. 1, department of Illinois, the cradle of the 0- A. R. The growth of the order from this humble birthplace proves that It was born. In the hearts of our comrades and only needed (be guiding hand of its organizer to lead it to its present proud position. Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, Logan, Hancock, Hayes, Garfield, Harrison, McKinley, and thousands of other Illustrious names have been enrolled with us, and we still have many men of eminence in the nation wearing the button, the eagle, flag and star, and as true to the principles and as unwilling to surren der as were those of our comrades who have gone before. Finally, to adopt the statement of one of Napoleon's vet erans, we say, theold G. A.H.can diebut can not surrender. Fraternally yours in F. C. and L., THOS. J. CUNNING, Poet Adjutant. Prizes for, .fours on Oregon Bird' The John Burroughs society of Port land has, through the generosity of Mrs. Rosa F. Burrell, two cash prizes" to a ward for knowledge of the native birds of Oregon.

Postmaster Yates has received from the McKinley National Memorial asso ciation a limited supply of certificates which have been prepared for distribu tion to contributors to the monument fund as souvenirs of their participation in that great enterprise. The certificate is a beautiful work of art on which is given an excellent reproduction of Mrs. Mc Kinley 's favorite likeness of her husband, together with a picture of the McKinley home in Canton and of the White House. The wording below the illustration is as follows: "This certifies that has contributed to the fund for the erection of the national memorial sft Canton, Ohio, in honor of William McKinley." The workmanship and artistic effects are of the very highest order, the great house of Tiffany & Co., New York, being the designers and manufacturers- The supply in the hands of Postmaster Yates is a portion of the first edition of the certificates and is sent here to enable those who have not as yet contributed to do bo. Parties who have already identified them -elves with the move ment will receive souvenirs direct from the office of the association or through local committiees.

Nolan, register, aud Miss Lang, receiver, took charge of the office, Messrs. Lucas and Patterson retiring. The two clerks, H. E. Northup and A. W. Long retain their positions, and the officers expect the de partment will soon name a third clerk to take the place vacated by Miss Lang. The clerks in the land office are under the civil service rule and hence are de partment appointments. The Columbia River and Northern railroad is now completed to within 20 miles of Goldendale, and the company expects to drive the last spike before the end of April. One hundred thousand bushels of wheat are stored along the railroad awaiting shipment to Lyle when the track is completed, and then to Port land by the Regulator line.
