Soldiers Course in Event Of His Be-
ing Suddenly Awoke.
Of Col. John c. Hayes, who served
with distinction under Gen. Winfield
Scott in the Mexican war, an amusing
story is told by T. E. Parish in his
"GOld Hunters of California" Hayes
with his command, had been out
scouting. On his return he made no
report to Gen. Scott, who sent for
him. Gen. Scot was a veritable mar
tinet in enforcing military discipline.
After Hayes was seated in the COM
mander's headquarters, Scott said:
"Col. Hayes, have received no report
of your expedition against the padre"
II did not think it worth WHILE" said
Hayes. Every officer of the army
is required to make a full report of
everything to his superior officer.
Please make your report verbally"
Hayes began by saying that he
struck the PADRES trail on a certain
day, followed it for two days and on
the third day, while his command was
resting at noon and taking their
siesta, the old padre came down on
them. The boys" gathered them
selves together and whipped the
Mexicans of, killing quite number
of the PADRES command. His own
loss was insignificant, one killed and
three wounded. "Surprised you, eh?"
Queried Scott. Eyes; we were not ex-
pectlng him." Where we're your
pickets?" did not have any,"
What" shouted Gen. Scott. "A
colonel in the regular army of the
United States go into camp in the
heart of the enemy's country and
never place picket on guard? What
would you do if surprised when
asleep? Shoot the first man that
walked me up" was the cool reply.

DEEP WATER TO CHICKASHA
Deacon Jones will Start a Line Of
Steamers

Did you hear the steamboat
whistle3 It's comingup the Washi-
ia with Deacon Scott Jones as cap
tain. Deep water to Chickashal
What do you think of that? Deacon
Jones says its possible and the
Deacon knows. He talked about
his scheme to an EXPRESS reporter
this morning. "The Washita, :"
said the Deacon, carries plenty OF
water to float large streamers: it
IS never dry aud we might as we'll
make up our minds now that
Chickasha is to be one of the larg-
est seaports in the world Well
load our cotton and grain on steam
|ers right here and ship it direct
to Liverpool, Hamburg and Toxic,
RECEIVING in return the products Of
Europe and the Orient. It's
great scheme"
Impossible? why, it's as simple
as falling off a log. The Trinity
river. Of which Dallas is making
50 much, isn't in il with the far
famed Washita: it's arivulet, looks
like thirty cents. And the Arkan-
sas which Muskogee is trying to
navigate, the wind blows it away
summer; it doesen't compare with
the Washita "
Continuing, the Dlacon said, II
expect to see the day wheu the
wharves along the Washita will be
lined wit merchantmen from ev-
cry port il the world. Probably
they'll steam up Line Greek and
| il may be that Mart Louthan's $
big ditch will be made navigable.
1t was Mart's idea that this ditch
should be used for the summer ma
neuvers Of the navy"
Deacon James is man Of ide 5
and he does things. He has his
heart set on making Chickasha a,
seaport and he'll do it. The Dea-
con is already organizing a com
pany build line OF excursion
steamers which will be run betwee n
Chickasha and all the geart ports
of the world.
All aboard for the Fiji Islands.
