CONFEDERATE MONUMENT.
Unveiled on the Twentieth of May---History of the
Association.
Association. .

On May the 10th, 1905, the citizens
of Washington and large>number of
visitors witnessed the unveiling qof the
first monument erected by any chap
ter of the Children of Confederacy in
the South to the memory of the faith
full heroes who for nearly one half a
century have been quietly sleeping
their manhood away.
The washington Gray Chapter
Children of the Confederacy," was or
ganized by Mrs. w. III. Call in the
year 1897, being the Iirst organization
in this State, and the third in the en-
tire South When organized 1T had
sixty-fve members. now it has one
hundred. Mrs. Call had labored un-
tiringly in the Ladies' Memorial As
sociation saw the necessity of training
the children correctly as to the record
of their fathers, and guarding them
against the perversion of facts thrust
upon them by prejudiced historians
and authors. She was inspired to or
gahize to preserve and teacn true
history, also to help provide for the
ex-Confederate soldier in need, and
with the dimpled hand of a child point
to the sacred spot where heroes sleep.
Under the leadership of Mrs. Call,
whom they all revere and love as 4
mother, they have placed in the North
Carolina room of the White House OF
the Confederacy at Richmond, Va, an
oil portrait of General Bryan Grimes
costing about one hundred dollars. "A
portrait of Major Thomas Sparrow,
who raised the first company in Beu-
fort county, and after whose company
the children chapter was named, was
placed by this chapter in the room of
the Historical Society of North Caro-
lima, in Raleigh, costing about one
hundred dollars. 1t has also marked
with stone the grave of every soldier
buried at the monument plat and has
marked many graves in Washington,
where the dead soldiers sleep. Only
a few years ago seventeen were re-
moved from the free grave yard to the
monument plat under the direct su-
pervision of Mrs. Call. The chapter
has aided in the erection of the monu-
ment to Jefferson Davis-at Rich

sands who bathe in these heavy waters
The farms beyond and the commercial
salt near by are lost in this experience
of a lifetime. The hours slip away and
past ills are forgotten as one foate
lazily on the surface, with no fear OF
going to the bottom. Then, the coat
ing of salt adds new life to the weary
brain. A bath in these waters, after
the long and desperate walk across the
plains, must have had something to do
with stopping the tired followers OF
Young in this then deSolate valley,
now transformed by the efforts of man
and the use of water.
This mention of water reminds me
of the many irrigation projects for
the reclamation of the arid lands of
the west The total sum set aside for
all these projects is $32,S70,000 and
the amount of land to be irrigated is
1,S5500 acres. The average value of
irrigated land in the United States is
AZ per acre. This acreage will there
fore add sS7,373,000 to the taxable
property of the United States in land

HIS NAME WANTED.
A Brave Federal Soldier Anxious to
Find Name of Confederate.

To the Editor: At the Reunion of
Confederate Veterans in Louisville
last June, met Col Andrew Cowan,
who commanded the First New York
Battery at the battle of Gettysburg.
He wants to know the name of North
Carolina officer who was wounded
near his battery July 3rd, S63, which
battery, that day, was posted at "the
clump of trees on Cemetery Ridge,
next to Cushings Battery, and near
the angle of the stone wall, where
General Armistead fell.
This wounded North Carolinian was
put on a cot in a bedroom on the
first floor of farm house back of the
Taneytown Road and Round Top, and
in this room with him were Lieutenant
VIM. P. Wright and Lieutenant w. III.
Johnson, of Col. Cowan's battery. The
Surgeon of the First New Jersey Bri-
officers together, amputated an arm OF
the North Carolinian and rendered
him great and peculiar kindness.
The first son of that North Carolinian
was named for that surgeon. The sur
geon and the two lieutenants are dead
and the North Carolinian may be deau
also.
Any one seeing this and able to
identify this North Carolinian will
please send name to me at Concord,

representative. of that glorious old

Grande, known as the Scenic Line of
the World is one not to be forgotten.
The long climb up the Arkansas
through the Grand Canon to Tennes
see Pass keeps one on the alert. While
watching the nesting birds poised on
easy wing about the cliffs two thou
sand feet above, the little creatures of
the air are forgotten in the wonder at
some combination of rocky grandeur.
Or else through the nearer rocks ap-
pears the purple on farther range,
lending beauty to some far off snow
capped summit. Thus the scene
changes until the continental divide is
reached, ten thousand and two
hundred feet above the sea, when the
run begins down the head waters of
the Colorado. The scenery here is
none the less fascinating though the at
tenton is apt to turn to the little huts
on the hills at the small openings that
look far more like rat-holes than
avenues of wealth. With pick and
eager eye the miner has gone all over
these mountain sides in search for
gold. Not simply along Eagle River,
but over the entire State the prolonged
search for gold has continued. One
man told me the other mining inter-
ests had given the first place in COM
mon concern to gold. Gold, gold. is
the eager cry. Let the gold and glor-

From the first of June up to the pres

The dining room was always attrac-

of horses and cattle, with the well till

great basin of salt tend to give one
pause. Then as one approaches the
lake the harvest of grain and grass
gives place to one Of salt, valued at
one million of dollars each year. The
