Who Saved WASHINGTON city,

EDITOR NATIoNALs1 TRIBUNE: Gen.
Vincent and Walter &c. Strickler have
blown their horns in Honor of the Sixth
Corps. Gen. Vincents sin the issue of
March 10, ascribes all praise to that corps
because of its disciplineg yalor and expert
ence, while Comrade Strickler, in the
issue of April 80, says the Capital was
saved by the Sixth Corps combative quail
ties and the facility with which one of its
members could lie. / am not disposed to
pluck single jewel from the diadem
worn by the valiant Sixth Corps. l con-
cede that the members zof that OrganiZa-
ton were conspicuous for valor and disci-
pline, and that they had muci, "experi-
ence," and shall certainly not dispute
the claim that one of them could lie. Pos
sibly Comrade Strickler was too modest
in claiming one prevaricator only-there
may have been others. While the Sixth
Corps did much, it did not do it all.
Says Gen. Early: my desire had
been to manuver the enemy out of Mary
land Hights.'" Well, the To-day men
occupied the flights" and Early failed
to "manuver them out" in order, as he
says, to make a "drect movement to
Washington" 1 was on the flights" a
100-day man, in Co. II, 161st Ohio, and
we skirmished in lively way with Early S
veterans for two days.
the right of the line at Monocacy was
composed Of To-day men, with the ex-
ceptiOn of one regiment and part of an
other of the Potomac Home Brigade and
Maryland battery. G., the right of
the line was composed mainly Of To-day
men.
Could Ricketts's detachment from the
Sixth Corps, $500 men, have successfully
battled with Early for eight hours with
out being supported by the fright of the
the line" and Glendening's squadron of
cavalry? Will anyone contend that Rick
etts alone could have delayed the Confed-
crates until the remainder of the Sixth
Corps could arrive at Washington?
Again: What would have happened if
those Union troops" had not occupied
Fort Stevens and held Early at bay until
the arrival of the Sixth Corps?
possess one of President LincoIn's tes-
timonials of honorable service, in which he
says, speaking Of the To-day men: 1.-The
term of service Of their enlistment was
short, but distinguished by memorable
events in the Valley of the Shenandoah,
on the Peninsula, in the operations on the
James River, around Petersburg and
Richmond, in the battle of MonOcacy, the
intrenchments Of Washington, and 4
other important service, the National
Guard Of Ohio performed with alacrity the
duty of patriotic volunteers"

Information Wanted.

Comrade Eugene I. Sandt, Reading, Pa,
wants information in regard to Albert
Fisher, who OH March 8, 1903, left Read
ing to go, us he said, to York, Pa, since
which time nothing has been heard of
him, and all inquiries have been fruit
less. Albert Fisher was a private in CO.
+, 4Sth Pa. and a pensioner at the rate
of $50 per month. He is a German, about
81 years old, and had his left hand shot
off. He speaks both German and English

discharge, pension certificate, voucher, life
insurance policy, and some money, and is
anxious to hear about him. If any COM
rade or citizen can give any information
he Mould be glad to receive it.

treatment the woman died and the
Coroner's jury, after hearing the
testimony in the case, charged
Chamley with the murder.

Important Orchard Facts.

The following suggestions should
be needed by every one who is
about to plant an orchard or al
ready has one:
In planting, trees should have a
slight slant toward the prevailing
wind. The main roots should be
placed so as to brace the trees
against the wind, and the tree
should be so headed that the main
branches would not when loaded
bend directly away from the tree
and so be liable to break off.
Trees, after they have grown
crooked may be Strengthened some
what by the use of spades early in
the Spring when the ground is
soft
In pruning the south side OF the
tree it can be left a little thicker
than the north side, as it receives
more light and moisture.
A man who does not know a
fruit- bud from leaf-bud should
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1903-04-04

never be allowed to prune a tree.
You can hasten the development
of fruit-spurs and multiply the
buds by checking the growth
of the wood. This can be done by
pruning the roots with spade, or
by nipping off the ends of twigs.
The latter method is preferable, as
it does not impair the vitality of
the trees as does the root-cutting
Where large wounds are made
in the trees from cutting of large
limbs, the wound should at once
be painted over. A good paint
mixture is made by mixing two
pounds of cement with ten pounds
of milk. For an old wound where
rotting has set in, further injury
may be prevented by using two
parts of cement and one of sand,
completely covering the wound so
as to exclude the air.
Orchards should be cultivated
constantly until the middle of July,
then planted with a cover crop of
clover, rape or rye, to be ploughed
under next Spring.

RiverSide'S UniQue Hotel.

The mission idea is wrought out
through all the structure even to
the finishing hardware. There is
not a door knob in all the building.
Every door is opened by an old
fashioned iron latch Mission bells
hang from numerous arches.
Guests are welcomed and meals are
announced by sweet chimes to the
delight of both citizens and tour
lists. Even the electric lights, never
dreamed of by the mission fathers,
shine from bell-shaped fixtures.
1t was a bit of sentiment on the
part of Mr.. Miller in saving the old
adobe as a portion of the New
Glenwood, but it was a most
worthy one and will do much to
attract to Riverside and the new
hotel, the travelling public. Here,
will be seen the contrast between
the past century and the coming
one.
The attractive roof of the old
adobe is not the modern steel tile,
painted red, nor is it the modern
made earthen brick tile, but it is
the real thing-tiles under which
thousands of worshipers have
gathered to hear the gospel OF
peace preached by the early faith
ers. Far back beyond the last
century mark these tiles were
made by the Indians, under the
direct supervision and instruction
of the famous Franciscan mission
ary, Padre Antonio Peyrl, the i'm
mediate successor of the great
Junipero Sierra, who was Canonlzed
as a saint i'll the hearts OF his taith'
full followers. In those ancient
DAYS these titles that are now tC

Reno Chamber of Commerce.


would see Nevada prosper, who
would see the State arise with
mighty strides, who would see cap
ital and men of energy come into
the State, should lend helping
hand to the Reno Chamber of
Commerce.
While the name is the Reno"
Chamber, it is in no wise a local
institution. 1t is a State institu-
tion-founded and carried on sole
ly for the purpose of fostering and
upbuilding every county within
the State lines. 1t is purely an ex-
hibition of the varied products of
the State of Nevada.
The room is large one, promi-
nently located few feet from the
passenger depot of the Southern
dCllC anu v. N |. NdlllOduS. L liz
front is of plate glass adorned by
exhibition receptacles of large size.
Upon entering the room you
turn to the left. About the first
thing that meets your gaze is the
handsome exhibit of medals and
prize cups awarded to Governor
Sparks at various fairs all over the
Coast for the best thoroughbred
cattle.
Passing along a few feet you
come to the sections devoted to the
mineral resources of the State. In
this section every county is allott-
ed ample space to display its ores.
Though the Chamber of Commerce
has been in existence but few
months, some of the counties al
ready have meritorious displays
notably Nye and Washoe. How
ever, most of the counties have
made poor showings.
The Southern Pacific company
will transport all specimens of min
eral of whatever character to Reno
free of all charges. This should
certainly be an incentive to min
ing men to have their properties
represented in the collection at
Reno. There is no limit to the size
of specimens that may be sent. In
fact, the larger the better.
Hundreds of mining men-men
who are seeking to purchase all
sorts of mining property-are con-
stantly passing through Reno en-
route to Tonopah and other mining
fields, and every one of these men
visit the Chamber of Commerce
and critically inspect the various
specimens. In this way your
property is almost certain to be
brought to the attention of invest
ors.
By this means several unknown
properties have been sold or bond
ed and several other sales are
about to be Consummated.

She started violently and let her
spoon fall with a silvery clatter upon
the floor. And then she rose up in her
seat, whirled so quickly that the skirt
of her dress overturned her chair, and
looked straight to that one of the uni

embroidered with two names" Scibel-

Her escort had come beside her, to

Then the clans were served, and
they ate them and ate what followed
