The make believe war" in Hampton
Roads during the past ~-eek brings to
mind the wonderful naval engagement
there over forty years ago
Captain ]. r. Eggleston. the sole sur
vving officer OF the Confederate Frigate
Merrimac whose famous battle with the
United States Monitor In Hampton Roads
on March s. 1862, revolutionized the
navics OF the world and gave a more
terrible cast to warfare on the sea, is
now living quietly on his big cotton plan
tation near Jackson, Miss. 4.
AS commander of onc OF the starboard
guns In tho world famous ship. Captain
Eggleston. then Lieutenant Egglestor.
took an active part In one Of the most
important naval battles ever fought.
While but mere skirmsh in actual d.
mansions as compared to the battles OF
Nelson or later engagements OF the
American navy, the effects OF 1t are felt
all over the world to-day; and the I'M
mc/sc development Of the American navy
under the present and preceding
administrations. as well as the
world over. Is the direct outcome OF
the two days engagement at Hampton
Roads.
Despite his seventy-one years and his
snow white hair, Captain Eggleston is
.still upright and vigorous and though
forty-two years have elapsed since the
day OF that memorable battle. Its de-
tails are still as fresh in the mind OF
the venerable warrior as on the day fol-
lowing the conflict. In describing 1t

Eggleston could not remain seated. The
excitement OF the battle and the memory
OF the terrific experience through which,
he passed. caused him to rise and stride
to and fro, gesticulating as he told OF
It.
pure blur was what won for the
Merrimac her reputation OF invincibllity,"
said Captain Egglcston. "Shc was never
moro than n floating battery, with port
holes open and steering-gear exposed,
She could never have gone through
another days fight with the result OF
those first two days She was unwieldy
Z and topheavy and she dragged In the
mud as she went. 1t was the dauntless
courage OF the man who commanded her
and the stout hearts OF the men behind
the guns that won the battle o. the
first two days which struck terror into
the hearts of every Northern seacoast
city.
.'The Merrimac was Federal Frigate
lying at Norfolk when Virginia seeded"
said Captain Eggleston, "and the Fed
erals abandoned her, along with num-
Der OF other vessels. She was one OF
the finest ships afloat and took high
rank among the naval war vessels OF
that day.

vessels in Southern waters they set them

LOYAL TO LOS ANGELES

ANY suggestion, however remote, ntimating that
Los Angeles is not the business, health and social
center Of the United States and the coming metropolis
Of the Pacific slope is received pure heresy and
treated accordingly"
That is the conclusion Of highly complimentary
report upon the efficiency of the local chamber of com
from the Salt Lake City representatives who re-
Gently visited Los Angeles.
The quoted alusion to the universal loyalty Of Los
Angeles residents TO their city is in humorous vein,
Of course but there is enough substantial fact In it
to warrant amplifcaon II is quite true that this
community stands sodly-stands to a man. woman and
chd-for Los Angeles. Love for the city and faith in
its future characteristic of its people
The pleasantly of the Salt Lake City guests concern
ing the pivotal position of Los Angeles in the United
States has basis of fact That is to say the people
of this city believe that II has magnificent future
and that It will ultimately become of the greatest
of American cities They have substantial ground for
that belief in the record of the city during the last
decade and particularly its pace during the last five
years
And intmaon that may be of value to some
other cities that made sad by contemplating the
amazing progress Los Angeles TO the cohesion of the
people of this city, to their perpendicuariy in standing
for Los Angeles first. last and always through thick
and thin through evil and through good report" the
exceptional progress of the city is largely due.
This city has its internal quarrels lots of them,
all other live cities have But let the warning
the outer gates that is approaching and
instantly every inhabant falls into line shoulder to
shoulder, ready to repel the attack.

THE MODERN NIMROD

Early next week. according to the schedule Pres-
dent Roosevelt will shake the dust of Washington from
his feet, in the mud dries in time He will make
bee ne as nearly as railway circumstances permit,
for Texas In the wlds of the big state, in congenal
companionship and with elaborate outfit, he will
test his aim and endurance in his favorte sport of
hunting
After having threshed the backwoods of Texas he
and his party will go northward to the old stamping
ground in Wyoming, where mountain lions and other
big game abound. 1t is good that the president
will rate his months outing in the wilds worth
more to him personally than whole year in the White
House.
1t is singular fact that Grover Cleveland and Theo-
dore Roosevelt the only American presidents since
Washingtons time with notable liking for the sport of
cunning. It is not certain in fact, that Washington
especially fond of hunting although it is known
that he excellent rifle shot. The presidents
who had military records were presumably handy
with gun although none Of them was noted as a
Nimrod. Even Grover Cleveland seemed to care
for rifle game being with bagging ducks with
a double barreled shotgun.
President Roosevelt is the only mighty hunter in
the long line of American chief executives He is
tenderfoot hunter, might be expected of Knicker
booker born and reared in luxury. He would scorn
alleged sport hunting in the royal of
Europe preferring trough it, in the style Of the
typical western hunter ~1
The American people admire this characteristic in
Theodore Roosevelt In that phase of his personality
he is man truly of the ideal American stamp. There
of the repugnance to his sport, in the minds
of sensitive that is associated with the Staying
of harmless animals. He seeks only big game the
bigger the better and the kinds that are harmful or
dangerous to mankind.
A joyous outing to the president In his hunting
petition and may he have many trophies of grizzlies,
mountain lions, ETC.. when he returns to Washington.
