LIGHT UNIFORMS ARE ORDERED
Thirty thousand Cotton Duck Salts Are
To He sent TO the Troops.

New York. June 9.-The award of
the contract for the lightweight uni
forms for the troops which are swelt-
ering in the South in heavy winter
weight woolen garments will be made
tomorrow.
The exasperatinS delay has been due
to various causes the final compliczi-
tion having resulted from the effort to
substitute cotton drilling for canvas.
The result has been that the greater
part OF the suits will be made of cot
ton duck. which has been found super
for TO both OF thes. and in some re-
spects better than the imported Khaki
cloth. which has been highly recon-
mended.
The test to which the different mater
ials. including canvas, drilling. Khaki
cloth and duck, were submitted.
showed conclusively that the duck was
the best. II is stronger, more imper-
yious to rain and more flexible than
the others under the same tests The
result was decision to order 10000
suits of cotton duck. six and Il half
ounces to the yard in weight and of n
brown color. To give fair field test
to cotton drilling there will be 1000
suits of II ordered and put alongside
the others.
The contract will call for the deliv
cry of 5000 suits day within five
days after the contract is made. As
fast as made they win be sent to the
troops, those farthest south getting
them first.

The most interesting scene of mill
tary activity in New York Is the army
building down on lower Broadway.
where Colonel John b. Fury of the
quartermaster's department has his
headquarters. and with large force
Of assistants is working night and day
to provide equipments for the 2SO0O0
volunteers and regulars that need to
be clothed and sheltered. Contracts
for about 81 100000 worth of supplies
have already been let and are being
filled with an energy that no country
but the United States could display
These include 1.0o0.00o yards of blue
kersey. 100000 yards of blouse fan
mel, 1.O00000 yards of shirting flannel.
100000 yards of lining flannel, L.

Such things as socks, underwear of

been contracted for in like proportion.
Many of these contracts have already
been tilled. Some of them are by
stipulation to be filled partly almost
at once and in full at the earliest pos
sible dates. The most distant date OF
fulfillment borne by any contract Is

A famous general once said: The
feet Of an army win its battles.r Just
how far this Is true only the experts
know. II is certain. however, that
the utmost care Is taken to get the
most comfortable and durable shoes
for the United States soldiers that skill
can produce and that money can buy.
The quartermaster generals specif-
cations for the contractors who make
the army shoe cover four pages of
small type. The last on which the
shoes are made is prescribed by the
quartermaster general. and inspectors
are placed nshe factories to see that
the contractors conform strictly TO the
specifications. The result is that the
United States soldiers wear the best
handsewed shoes. Experts declare
that no better shoe is made in the
world. The government pays from
SI921a TO S2.31Ia pair for tens of
thousands of pairs at a time. The
snme system of definite specifications
and rigid inspection is followed in the
ease OF every supply contracted for by
the quartermaster generals depart
ment. On Saturday next bids will be
opened Mt Philadelphia for S3,000VO
more of similar supplies.

portion is used in connection with
shipment OF perishable goods; the bal

Of defeating the La Junta baseball
nine. They went home disappoint-

narrow escape in the last inning
and not until the last man was Out
did the La Junta "rooters" breathe
easy.
Sunday baseball was inaugurated
in this city with all the fuss and
feathers incident to a second-class
circus parade. The two clubs,
headed by the La Junta brass band,
paraded the streets and shocked
many of the good people of this
community by their unholy desc

noticed, however, that quite a
number Of staid business and pro-
fessional men had business down
town that afternoon, or took a
jaunt on their bicycles "to get
breath or fresh air." and just hap
pened to drop in at the game to see
how the score stood. Between
900 and 400 people were present, in
cluding quite number of ladies.
The game started with La Junta
at the bat and before they had
completed their h,st inning eight
men had crossed the plate. The
fielding of the visiting team was
decidedly rocky and in the second
inning the home team developed
the fact that they were not much
better. Brilliant and snappy ball
playing, such as is said to have oc-
CURED in the game at Rocky Ford,
was conspicuous by its absence.
The game was interesting, espe-
cially in the last inning, when it
looked as though the visiting team
would tie the score, but they fell
short one tally when the last man
was out, the score standing I9 to
I8 in the home teams favor. Fol

Taylor was "well liked in La
Junta" by very, very select few.
Nearly every one thought him to
be a model young man-for a
