American Soldiers of Today.
(Army and Navy Journal. }

(Army and Navy Journal.)
The more the people come in contact
with our army the higher it will stand
in popular estimation. In an article in
the New York Herald Colonel Loomis L.
Langdon rruthfully sal Of it: "The
American soldier OF today is bright.
intelligent, active, fairly educated young
man. of temperate habits and commend
able mbition, and, moreover, as a rule,
of most progressing personality. ]
have been especially led to these redec-
tions by witnessing the most interesting
military maneuyers at Madison Square
Garden. The personnel of Captain
Dodd's Troop F, Third Cavalry Lieuten-
ant George d. Gatlay's section of Cap
tain Thorp's Light Battery, Fifth Artil-
lery, and the detachment of the Thir.
teenth Infantry, under Lieutenant Butts,
is enough to impress the most casual OBJ
server with the fact that a great change
has come over our army rs regards the
appearance. the physique. the intelli-
gence and the character OF the enlisted
men, and in particular as regards their
all around efficiency. The exhibition in
the Madison Square Garden of the won-
delful drill Of the men has attracted
most deserged1y admlring thrOngs that
lose no opportunity to express their SYM
pathy with these splendid soldiers and
their admiration for the Intelligence,
aIertness, precision and enthusiasm dis
PLAYED in the maneuvers. / have seen
nothing like this work by soldiers of
foreign armies, nor do believe that
anything like this instruction is given
in those armies. 1t makes one proud of
our army to see such work SO we'll done.
aud to see military duty made SO attrac-
tive and SO efficient in training the youth
of our country. 1t gives new meaning
to life whena young man can look for
ward with Infinite pleasure TO becoming
an active, ambitious and patriotic SOL
der, loving his country and his profess
sion, and caring little how or where the
end comes.
If every member of Congress Under
stood the real character of the officers
and men of the service, We do not think
there would be so much hesitation about
legislating in their EehRlf. Unfor5u-
nately the congressman often see the
worst side of the army. To them come
the erowls and complaints and the indi-
cations of selfish desire on the part of
some to ask more than they are entitled
to, and at the expense of those whose
quiet devotion to duty ia unnoticea and
UNDECIDED and thus fails to make the i'm.
preston it should.

BOXING STEAMSHIP.
IT win Be Freighted to South America in
200 Boxes.
{ From the New York SUM-

(From the New York Sum-
The task of building steamship, set
ting it up, AMI then shipping it to South
America In boxes, such as was performed
recently at Nixon's ship yard, in Eliza
bethpurt, was novel in shipping expert
epces in this country. They hare been
set up en- many lakes, especially in the
West, where there has been no facility
for building such craft. The two vessels
that ply on DEVILS lake. in N orth
Dakota, are instances Of that. for they
were brought from the banks of tho
Mississippi even in the days when the
hostile Sioux ranged through North
Dakota. Suchzsvessels have usually been
slowed away on monster trucks They
have usually been of wood.
The one that Mr. Nixon sent to the
United States of Colombia, to ply on the
Magd8lena river, had to be put in boxes,
big and little. Altogether there were
something like 200 Of these Gboxes. They
nlled three lighters and were loaded from
the lighters to a tramp steamship. The
EameTof the portable steamer was the
Maria Hanaberah. OF course it was a
small affair, but 1T was built with as
much care aa a Charger vessel 1t was
built on ways,a as if it was to be launched
there. Every plate and beam WAS put in
place, all the woodwork was fitted, the
engine aud every part of the craft was
made to fit just as If the boat was to ply
in these waters. The srivets, .~however,
were not put in. The vessel was painted
blue Oh one iie of the interior and
w hits on the Other side of the interior.
This was to facilitate the erection. of the
vessel OH the Magdalena river. Every
plate, bolt and frame wac marked tn
correspon dwith the plans, and then the
little craft WIS taken apart and this apd
that part packed away in boxes The
boilers, of course, needed no boxes, but
each piecs of machinery and each part
of the hull was slowed away without
difficulty.
Mr.. Nixon will send one of his assis-
tants 70 the destination Of tho vessel to
saperintend her erection. She will be put
together on ways aud launched precisely
as abe would have been launched ned
she remained in this country. 1t is
simply question Of rivetinR the hull to-
gether. and Of fastening the parts of the
engine together and then the vessel will
be complete. 1t is interestirg sto know
that MIR. Nixon had foreign con petition
in securing the contract for the vessel.
He underbid three foreign" ship-yarrs rs
to price, and also guaranteed to deliver
the vessel quicker than any other bidder.
He built the craft in almost exactly 60

Editor UNION
We met with quite an agreeable
surprise this morning when Elders
Thomas Judd and Thomas p.
Gotham walked into our Sunday
School, We were looking for them
to speak to us in the evening, but
owing to bad roads and appoint
ments below the program was
changed. After our exercises the
brethren gave us very good and en-
couraging remarks. At the after
noon meeting Elder Judd gave'a
short summary of his labors as a
missionary in England, contrasted
the different faiths with that of the
Latter-day Saints, clearly showing
from the Scriptures that we preach
The Union. [volume] (St. George, Utah) 1882-1898, 1897-01-23

the same gospel which was preached
by Christ and His apostles.
Elder Gotham followed with a
faithful testimony Of the truth of the
remarks of the former speaker and
spoke of the hardships and persecu-
tons our parents had to PASS
through in the early rise of the
church and in pioneering this coun-
try. On the whole we had very
enjoyable time.
We have bad a week of fine
storms, which makes us rejoice in
anticipation of plenty of water dur
ing the coming season as result.
