TRIBUTE OF AFFECTION
TO DEAD NEVADA FRIEND
(BY c. C. GOODWIN

The news of the death of John w.
Mackay will cause a personal sorrow
to thousands of people on this coast.
So great was he, so true, so generous,
so altogether manly in every place and
under all conditions.
Plenty Of men are rich; of them all
we know not one-such man as was Mr..
Mackay. In face and bearing, in hand
and foot. he was imperial as Caesar,
but in his life and his mingling among
men there was not one imperious look
or word or gesture, unless some base
nature expressed a doubt of his integ-
rity and he heard of it. If every. gra-
cious act of his life could be converted
into a flower, they would garland his
bier with glory never seen around a
death couch before; if his impulses
could take material form they would
fall in benedictions on every poor man's
home; they would steady the hands of
every high officer of our government.
for love of his adopted country and
solicitude for its welfare with him were
grand passions.
The newspapers viii give long ac-
counts of his career and of the work
he performed, but none of them will
give any clear idea of him as he was;
Of the alert brain, the great heart, of
the superb character that ne bore, OF
the courage that never faltered. that
no misfortune could daunJ. OF a soul so
self-sustained and high that there was
never room in it for dependency or
one trace Of false pride.
He started out with a belief in the
omnipotence of honest labor; he be-
lieved that it was capital enough for
anvs healthy man in this country. he
vas favored above his fellows, but to
the lest he chung to the old faith and
worked on and on. When last seen by
the writer Of this, last January, he
was planning the laying Of a cable
across the Pacific. and with his old
quiet confidence he gently said: Il have.

and I believe 1 can-do the work better
than the goverhment- can, and with

Anyone who thinks that the life of
an officer in the United States army
and particularly in the quartermaster's
department, is all beer and skittles. ;"
should have a try at the duties of the
quartermaster general for week-just
a week Here is a list of just few of
the things for which the quartermas-
ter general is responsible to the secre-
tary of war: First, he must purchase
all the military stores and supplies nee
essary for the army that the medical,
commissary and ordnance departments
are not directed to purchase. He must
provide the means of transportation for
the soldiers of the army and all it's
equipments and supplies.
This latter is in itself tremendous
job. 1t means the chartering of whole
railway trains and of ocean transports
and providing for and paying all the
incidental expenses of the military
service that other corps are not
charged with the duty of providing for.
Take the case of the captain and pur-
chasing and disbursing quartermaster
on duty at the military headquarters
in San Francisco when the Spanish war
began in May, 1885, He was a young
officer. but one with long head. He
had. somehow, got the news that the
United States intended to send big
force out to the Philippines. He did
not wait minute. He Just went to all
the agents of transportation companies
that had seagoing vessels suitable for
carrying troops and supplies and char
tered everything they had that was
suitable.
Not single agent dreamed that the
United States was about to embark in
so vast a scheme of ocean transporta-
ton from san Francisco to Manila
Had they done so, prices of transport
tation would have been increased 100
per cent, for it was a case of must
have them. This able, clear headed
and competent young captain gave out
but one bit of instruction to the agents

in a speech at Boston he said: II think
l have a certain right to speak, because

land; yet haven't got any New England
blood and haven't got any English blood
