GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC
Boise Feb. 17.—The year 1911 has
passed into history and with it many
that were near and dear to us hare
gone the way of the world. In all the
days of the year passed every sound of
retreat and the firing of the evening*
gun haa been a sad reminder, that one
or two more have joined the ranks of
mighty hosts that, have gone before
and are now resting on the eternal
camping ground. . ,
It Is. a matter of grave concern as
to whether the death made .vacancies
in our ranks have been filled by rec
ruits and restorations, or whether we
have been content tp close and short
en them by side stuping. There yet
remains to us a short time in whiçh
to strengthen our. forces. Will we do
