How the Rough Riders Slashed Red
Tape.

There is some positive testimony in
the much mooted matter of iuefiicien-
cy Of army administration in the late
war in Col. Roosevelt's admirable story
OF the Rough Riders in Scribner's mag
aziue.
The February number contains the
account of the movement of the regi-
ment from San Antonio to Tampa and
thence to Cuba. Chaos is the only
word that adequately describes the
state of things military at Tampa, as
portrayed by Col. Roosevelt. Nothing
in the world but the indomitable en-
ergy of Wood and Roosevelt, taking the
initiative into their own hands, and
slashing and disregarding red tape right
aud left, raised and equipped this re-
msrkable body of troops and finally got
eight of it's twelve companies to the
front-and to immortal renown. The
push of these men got the regiment
from the camp, nine miles distant, to
Port Tampa, amid mob of military
organizations and against obstacles in
superable except to the energy and per-
severance of such officers. AT the
wharf it was hunting a needle in hay
NOW to find any officer having author.
ity in matters of embark alton; when
the transport Yucatan was finally al
lotted 10 the regiment it was found that
it had already been assigned to two
other organizations, each with more
men than the ship could possibly &C.
commodate.
But this was the smallest of the diff.
cul les that troubled these redoubtable
captains. The ship was out there in
the stream and no troops were aboard
The Yucatan was gotten up to the
wharf where the Rough Riders were
waiting and before the gang plank was
out the men were aboard and in pos.
session, and they "held the fort
against all belated corners of prior al.
lotment. Thus the Rough Riders ex.
tricated themselves from the meshes OF
red tape and got started for Cuba
Col. Roosevelt's telling of the story Of
his experiences is by far the breeziest
literature of the late war.
OF the 'canned fresh beef" served tC
the regiment Col. Roosevelt says
There was no salt in it. AT the bes
it was stringy and tasteless; at the
worst it was nauseslpg. Not one
fourth of it vas ever eaten at all, ever
when the men became very hungry
On the voyage and in the landing, thu
omnipresent inefliciency of army ad
ministrsiion was raising obstacles anC
creating delays which the individua
energy, resolution and ingenuity of thu
Rough Riders commanders were al
ways surmOuuting

BOSTON, January %, 1899.
Cot. FRED e. SMITH, Montpelier, VT,
Dear SRI am reminded, and with
plea ure remind you, that this is the fiftieth
anniversary of the departure from Mont
psier OF the little party of five california
pioneers" of whom S. M. Collins Of San
Francisco and myself are the surviving
me mbers; and OF those OF our friends who
accompanied us to Mortified where we
took the cars for Boston, two besides your
self survive, George Klnsman OF Montpe-
lier and Heber N, Tilden of San francisco,
late president of the Society Of Californi a
Pioneers of that city.
A. Northfeld we were joined by two
young men of that place, both of whom are
now living, G. N. Carpenter of Broadhead,
Wis and Edward Porter of Bradley, Cal.
We sailed from New Bedford February 8,
in the ship Magnolia, Captain b. r. SIM
mons, a native Of Woodstock, Vt, aud at
ter PASSAGE of two hundred and two days,
via Cape Horn, arrived in San francisco

party of "pioneers" should survive to see
this day.

In two States the deadlock over the
election OF United States Senator has
been broken by the election of Repub-
licans. In West Virginia, Nathan b.
Scott is elected to succeed Charles D..
Faulkner, Democrat, and in Wyoming
G. D. Clark is chosen to succeed him
self. Mr.. Scott was a Union soldier in
the Civil war. He has served as Slate
Senator for several years and for a
long time was West Virginia's member
of the Republican national commit
tee. President Mckinley appointed
him commissioner of internal reve-
nues. McGraw, his Democratic COM
petitor, declares that SCOTS election is
invalidated by the circumstance that
two of the State Senators who voted
for him held lucrative offices under the
Federal government, in violation OF
the State constitution specifying the
qualifications of members of the Legis-
lature. Scott received 4S votes, Nc
Graw 46, Judge Golf l, giving Scott a
majority of one. McGraw maintains
that Scott's lawful vote was 46, by
reason of the invalid votes of the two
Senators in question.

Congressional Proceedings.

The Senate will devote nearly IL not quite
all this week to considering the peace
treaty. Senator Allison, chairman OF the
committee on appropriations says he will
not interfere with tue consideration OF the
treaty by asking to have appropriation bills
taken up. This week will see the close of
the memorable debate both in executive
and open session as to the vote set for Feb
ruary 6. Senator Berry will speak Tues
day, Senator Spooner, Wednesday; Senator
Rawlins, Thursday; Senator Money, Fri
day and Senator Chiffon, Saturday. These
speeches will be based upon the various res
outous on the general question OF expaH-
SION and will be delivered in open session.
They will, however, be principally devoted
to the treaty and will afford Senators TO
say openly what they would say in secret
sessions. There will be an effort to get the
speeches before two o'clock each day to
permit the closing Of the doors at two
o'clock in accordance with the unanimous
agret ment to that effect when the treaty
viii be taken up formally aud the execu-
tive consideration OF the subject proceeded

christopher z. Putnam, Sr.

Christopher G. Putnam. Sr., who died
January %, was born in Middlesex Febru-
sry 8, 1910. He was the son OF Jacob Put
nam, who came from Charlestown mo. ~
N. H., to Mlddlesex, Vt, in 1884, and set
tied on the North Branch, on the farm
known az the Elijah Whitney place, in
1902, he being the first settler in the west
ern part of the town. Jacob was brother
of the Hon. Seth Putnam, the third settler
in Washington county, and was carpen-
ter by trade
In 1915 Bradstreet Bald win OF London

what is now the village of Putnamsville,
taking advantage of the fall of thirty-t 40
feet. The mill had q capacity for saving
100, 900 feet OF lumber per annum. q. q.
Putnam bought the mill in 1916. Nine
wears from that date he tore down the old
mill and erected large double gang mill on
the opposite side of the river, together with
grist mill and machinery for dressing
lumber. The mill was consumed by fire in
1862. The same year new mill was built
on the same site with a capacity OF
! 1000 600 feet of dressed lumber per year.
In 1865, after his return from the war, his
son Christopher @. Putnam, Dr., was taken
into partnership and the firm name chang.
ed TO q. G. Putnam & Son In 1871 the
| firm purchased the Tempeto and Vail
mill in Worcester, in 1885 built large
steam dressing mill at Putnamsville, and in

| ing their business from 100 600 feet per yeaI
| in 1845 o 6 600 900 feet In 1898.
In 1886 Mr.. Putnam married Eliza Stone
Four children were born to them, Chris
TOPPER g. Jr., the present Senator from
Washington county, Mary-Mrs. George
NJ Whitney-Harriet, who always lived al
home, and Sarah, wife Of Harlan w. KemI
of Montpelier.
Tracing his ancestry back seven genera
tons, he inherited those distinguished traits
which cropped out in Generals Israel anC
Rufus, good common sense, and the ability
to carry out whatever he undertook Re
ceiving only common school education, h,
labored all his life to extend his field o
learning, and by reading and close applica
ton acquired large fund of general infor
nation. Although never an ofice-seeker
yet he held nearly all the offices which hi
town could give him. In early life he wa
