NEW MILITARY ORGANIZATIONS.
Efforts of Authorities to Avoid Mis-
takes of the Civil Mnr.


WASHINGTON May IA number of
applications have been received at the ad-
jutant generals office for copies of muster
rolls with which to form the nucleus of
National Guard organizations in the various
States to take the places of those recruited
into the volunteer army. These applica-
ticns came from persons whose intentions,
the department officials say, may be all
right, but who apparently fail to compre-
hend the feature of the volunteer act bear
ing on the subject of admission of new or
ganizations of volunteers. The law says
volunteer organizations shall be recruited so
as to maintain them as near to their maxi
mum strength as the President may deem
necessary and no new organization is to
be accepted into service from any State un-
less the organizations already in service
from such State are as near to their maxi
mum strength of officers and enlisted men
as the President decides shall be the case
This provision, it is explained. is intended
to prevent a condition of affairs similar to
that which existed in the war of the
bellion, when the veteran regiments, de-
pleted by active service on the field were
not recruited again to their full strength,
but new regiments were constantly added
to the army. This latter practice was repre-
HenSlDleS III LnaL II thrust raw ana unQlS-
ciplined men forward into new organiza-
tions instead of recruiting them to the older
and established veteran regiments. 1t is
pointed out that few If any of the regi-
ments Of the volunteer army are recruited
to their maximum strength. and that if ad-
ditional volunteers are called for they will
be used, first of all, to bring these regiments
up to the legal number provided by law.
Many Of the regiments contain less than
1000 men, whereas their maximum strength
is, in the case of infantry, over 1900 men.
For this reason officials of the War Depart
ment desire to discourage the idea of the
formation of new organizations if it is con-
templated that they are to enter the service
as such, although there is no reason why
they should not be organized with a view to
disciplining the men for any service that
might be required of them hereafter in the
event that additional volunteers are called
for. Another bad feature of the admission
into the volunteer army of the new organi-
cations is that it results in a proportion of
officers to soldiers much larger than is con-
templated by law, which will not occur if
the men are recruited into the older regi-
ments.

The Dickinson Library and Reading
Room Association is now an assured
fact. At the meeting Saturday evening
the acting president, c. H. Clemmer,
was authorized to appoint a committee
who, with himself, should elect temper
airy officers from their own number and
proceed to incorporate. The committee
on finance reported 1895 subscribed for
all purposes with quite a number of rep
resentative people yet to be seen, and
the committee was of the opinion that
$500 could be safely promised. No can
vass has been made as yet for library
membership. The effort last week was
to establish the free reading room which
the town 20 much needs. Baths in any
rooms the committee could find would
be an impossibility. To establish and
pay running expenses n year of a read
ing Don and gymnasium would require
$500 or more. The committee consid-
cred expense under the items, rent, fuel,
lights, %janitor, fixtures, periodicals and
apparatus for the gymnasium. 1t is
therefore evident that unless more peo-
pie become interested and all are will
ing to open their pocket-books a little
wider, the reading room feature must be
deferred for a time.

How Gold Was Found on the Nondike.

How Gold Was Found on the Kondike.
"The River Trip to the Klondike' is
described in the March Century by John
Sidney Webb. The author says:
The famous Bonanza Creek and the
more famous Ell Dorado Creek are very
like ordinary, everyday creeks in ap-
pearance-a little less civilized, perhaps,
than creeks to be met with in the East.
There are men living in Alaska to-day
who have hunted moose over these creeks
dozens of times; but, as the old miners
say, there were no surface indications to
lead any one to suppose that gold might
be found in them, so hundreds of miners
passed by in their boats going to Forty
Mile and Circle City. The finding Of
such gold is always an accident, and the
old hands are usually the last to realize
the truth. "Stick George" Cormack and
his squaw's relatives camped on the
creek for dinner one day, and somehow
got to digging, and washed out some
gold. He went to Forty Mile and made
claim for discovery, and soon the news
spread like wild-fre.
