A party of young people started

of "where they were at" was easily

The green fruit from northern
California has been moving for a
month and 10000 tons of ice
stored at Argentine last winter will
be used by another week. This
will make 10, 900 tons used at that
point for refrigeration by August
IS, against 7. 900 during all OF last
season. Manufactured ice will be
used as soon as the packed ice is
exhausted. At La Junta there is
ice enough to last through the
month and then packed ice from
Colorado Springs and elsewhere
will have to be used. So far the
refrigerator business has been
enormous and the Rocky Ford
melons are yet to come. The
Santa Fe is the best prepared Of
any western road to handle the
fruit shipments and with an abund-
ance Of refrigerator cars is reaping
a harvest.

A RICHMOND SOLDIER PROMOTED.
Sergeant III. +. Winn Made n Second
I'm District Volunteers.

Sergeant II. +. VIM, Of Company II,
District Of Columbia Volunteers, and a
native OF Richmond, was commissioned
a second lieutenant on the day before The
regiment was mustered out. He succeed
ed Lieutenant A. II. Smith, who gener-
ously resigned his commission in order
TO permit the promotion of Lieutenant
VIM to commissioned rank before the
regiment was mustered out. President
Mckinley took a personal interest in the
case. and had 1t made special, so that he
might sign the commission and have IL
issued at once. Another days delay
would have been fatal TO the chances
of Lieutenant VIM. AS it was, he was
enabled to leave the service of the United
States as a commissioned officer, instead
of as an enlisted man, holding non-com-
mssioned rank.
Lieutenant WINS company was de-
tached from the regiment before the San
tiago campaign, and served with the
Engineer Battalion in Porto Rico. Lieu
tenant VIM rendered specially merlto-
rious services and was promoted on that
account.
Lieutenant Winn was a member or the
old Blues Battalion for some time, but
enlisted in the District of Columbia regi-
ment as a private at the outbreak of lie
war.
