They were seen there by our presi- dent, by the son of Grant and by the son of Lincoln and by many Union soldiers. It never occurred to me to offer explanation or apology. “Sensible people of the North know that in cherishing these sentiments. in holding these convictions, in caring for the graves of our dead, in erecting monuments to perpetuate their fame, in giving a true history of our contest and teaching our children to rever- ence the memory of- those who sus- tained the Southern cause there is no protest against the government under which we live.” . SPANIARDS TURN MOUNT GURUGA Successful In Severe Engage- ment With the Moors, Madrid, Sept. 23.—The Spanish forces in Morocco, according to the latest dispatches recelved here, were eminently successful Sept. 20 and 21 in turning Mount Gurega and sur- rounding the ferocious Beni-Sicar tribesmen. The government is pub- lishing broadcast accounts of many thrilling and gallant episodes of the fighting and the war fever is at a high pitch. All the reports agree that the Moors showed fanatical courage, but they were met with a fine display of Spanish valor. Near Taxdir four battalions of Span- ish troops were deployed over a front six miles long. They were charged suddenly by 200 Arab horsemen. Gen- eral Tovar, perceiving that the enemy threatened to break the line, sent out a’ strong detachment of chausseurs and cavalrymen to check them. The two parties met with a terrific shock. At first the Moors broke, but they re- turned to the attack several times be- fore they were finally routed, leaving many dead on the field. The Spanish infantry then feinted a retreat and the Moors, reinforced, swept down upon them. The Spanish line then about faced and fired repeated volleys point blank into the enemy, putting them to flight. The dispatches re- port that the Moors left 100 dead on the field. A total of 5,500 Moors, including 1,500 cavalrymen, took part in the fighting of Sept. 20. The Moors lost 400 men. The Spanish troops under General Orozco have occupied Aograz.

[elling the Truth Pays The simple truth, in black and_white, is that when you buy lumber or building material from us, you can throw all uncertanity to the four winds. Does that sink in? Goods of inferior quality may cost little, but they may not be WORTH anythlng. No matter how little you pay for an article, it is not really cheap unless it will satisfactorily fulfil the purpose for which it is intended. Our lumber and_ building material is made good enough for the White House, but is sold to those people who want “the best yon've got.” If you're that kind of a buyer, we can please you.
