THE GOTH OHIO,

The Presidents reference to the ac-

first Goth Ohio was raised in the Fall
Of 1861, mainly from Highland, Fay

At Spanish Fort.

Editor National Tribune: I have new
er taken any part in the controversy as
to what corps captured Spanish Fort,
tho 1 was there in person. There were
two companies of our regiment, a and
b, 49th Mo-, who filled the gap between
the 10th Mo. and some Illinois regi,
ment, I think the 124th, in the works.
The different batteries around the whole
about p. M, and continued till about
6 p. M, when from our part of the line
we could distinctly hear the boys cheer
ing on our right as they went over the
rebel works. Now, 1 cannot say wheth-
er it was men from the Thirteenth
Corps or the Sixteenth Corps. but will
say positively that if the Sixteenth
Corps occupied the right of those works
they We're the lads who charged and
took Spanish Fort 1t matters not what
others may say. I claim no credit for
my regiment, which was brigaded with
the 14th Wis. and 10th Mo, Second
Brigade. Third Division, Sixteenth
Corps, but many thanks to the boys
who took that little job off our hands,
say I. Will some comrade tell me what
battery held the place between A and
B of the 49th and 10th Mo-, and also
what regiment held the works on the
right of those two regim ents? Speak
up, boys. Let us hear from you all,
especially the 14th Wis. If there are
any comrades left who belonged to Cos.
A or B, 49th Mo, speak one word. If
all dead, keep quiet.-E. w. Pritchett,

James Bryce, the new British EN-
bassador, is a fine example of that
Celtic blood which has done so much
toward making Great Britain and the
United States what they are. AS his
name would imply, he belongs to the
great clan of Ap-Rhys, which has fur
nished so many able men to the army,
the law, the divinity, commerce and
manufacturing. In the mutation of
time the original name has taken many
forms, as Reece, Rice, Bryce and Price,
but they are all of the same blood. The
clan is Welch, and its members are
generally stanch Calvinists, either Bap-
lists, Presbyterians or Congregational
lists. Mr.. Bryce shows his inherited
tendencies by announcing himself as a
rigid Calvinist, who believes the West
minister Confession from beginning to
md, and in declining to be a peer. He
IS particularly persona grata to our
people because Of his authorship of
THE American Commonwealth" the
best and most satisfactory text book on
our political system that has yet been
written.

disastrous affair at Winchester in June,
1863, where Lees whole army was
flung upon Milroy's little command and
crushed it, DIR. McCabe remained with
the wounded, caring for them, and was
captured and sent 10 Libby Prison,
where he remained over four months.
Upon his release he reioined his regi-
ment at Brandy Station, but his health
had been so undermined by his prison
experience that he was sent back to
Washington, where he served in the
hospitals and finally resigned in 1864.
He then returned to the active minis
try, and was stationed at Portsmouth
Q. Finding him to be particularly eff
cient in church extension work, he was
and for 16 years Travelled over the
country, meeting with the greatest sue
cess. One of the famous incidents of
this work was his coming into con-
fiict with Col Bob Ingersoll. who
was then proclaiming christianity is
failure Dr. McCabe telegraphed
him: Dear Bob: We are building
two churches a day" The statement
took like wildfire, and excited Inger-
soil and his feIlow-atheists greatly, so
that there was some sharp contention,
but the statistics bore out what Dr.
McCabe had said.
McCabe wrote song which was sung
everywhere, which had the following
chorus:
Were building two a day, dear Tom,
We're building two day.
The people shout. the children sing,
We're building two a day"
The song was set to the tune oS The
Sword of Bunker HILL" and became a
favorite at the Methodist rallies. DR..
McCabe, who had a remarkably sweet,
sympathetic voice and method of
singing that went right to the heart,
did much to popularize the song by
singing it himself. His voice was OF
such quality that by it he could in
stantIy gain command of any audience,
no matter of what class of men 1t was
made up. In the intestine discussions
in the Methodist Church he was the
leader of the party that advocated
larger influence for the lay members
of the Church, and was elected Bishop
as their representative. For many
years he was Secretary of the Mission
airy Society. DR.. McCabe took warm
interest in the Grand Army of the
Republic, and was always at the COM
mand of the comrades for anything in
which there was an opportunity for him
to serve them. The Methodist Church
abounds in able, jealous, practical
workers, and it is a distinction of high
character that DR.. McCabe came 10 the
front in competition with this class Of
men, He spent his life in active, good
work, not in the advocacy of theory or
everyday, practical laborer for things
that could be done and should be done
to lift humanity upward. His death
creates vacancy in Church circles that
it will be exceedingly difficult to fill. In
1902 he was appointed Chancellor of
the American University at Washing
ton, and is survived by widow, Mrs.
Rebecca Peters McCabe, and one son,
John p. McCabe. The services over
the remains were held at the st. Paul
Methodist Church, New York, when
eulogies were delivered by Dr. Ecllman,
DIR. Kelley, DR.. Buckley and Bishop
Andrews. The remains We're inferred
at Evansville, Ill.

SUNNYS|DE HAS
TWO CANDIDATES
WANT TO GO TO THE LEGISLATURE
Hon. Lee 4 johnson Wants second
Term and s. j. Harrison VIII
BE In the Race.

\ prominent resident of Sunnyside
who was in the city Monday said, in
talking over the political situation with
a Herald reporter:
I'VE have a rather peculiar state of
affairs in our section of the valley. and
one that is causing us some uneasi-
ness; at any rate. it is greatly regret
ted that it should have come up just
didate for the legislature at the next
session. Hon. Lee A. Johnson has an
nounced publicly that he intends to be
a candidate for a second term. and 1t
has developed within the past few
days that s. ]. Harrison has desires
in that direction himself, and his
friends are getting very active.
NO, can't say 1t will be a friendly
contest. AS local fight, 1t will be a
decidedly interesting one. for there are
not two more evenly matched men in
the county than Mr.. Harrison and Mr..
Johnson-able, honored. respected. pop
ular and we'll known. With the ex-
ception of their close personal friends.
the voters are wondering how they are
going to decide II II comes to a matter
Of choice left to them. I see no solu-
ton of the difficulty except for the
party to nominate them both; in that
event the legislative ticket would be
sure to carry. no matter who the oppo-
sition put up, and Yakima would have
the strongest team in the house OF any
county in the state.
Both the gentlemen have claims
that can not be overlooked. AS Mr..
Johnson stated in the interview in
which his determination to stand for
another term was made known. It Is In
accordance with the unwritten law of
politics in this state that II a man Is
elected and succeeds in making good
in office. he is entitled to a second
term. Well. Lee A. johnson made
good. all right, as even his strongest
opponents admit. His work in the last
assembly was conspicuous. and he had
hand in securing the passage of some
OF the most important legislation of
the session. Some of this was left In
an imperfect state. and his friends are
anxious that he have a chance to help
rison Is an able man, versed in public
affairs and interests, broad and liberal.
and no one in the county can be said
to have its interests more at heart.
There are Just grounds for the claims
that will be made for both and the
contest. which Is now on in earnest,
will be a strong one"

COMMISSIONER HOLDS Up
PATENTS APPLIED FOR
DECLINES GRANT REQUESTS INDIAN HOLDERS
Refers Two Applications Back to Agent Lynch
for Further Reports Looking After
the Red Mems Interests

perintendent Lynch; that the attorney
for the purported purchasers had eject
ed parties who had held under APP
forbidding them to pay the rent due;
that 1t is the intention of Mrs. Swasey
to plot her allotment as a townste,
but she will have considerable trouble
with Mullins and Dooley If she gets
clear title to her allotment; that a suit
is now pending to clear the title to this
land; and that he therefore thinks 1t
would not be advisable to issue a pat
ent to her until this is done. 1t also
appears that there are a number of
business leases on her allotment which
do not expire for some time.
In the case of the Olney allotment
there is an approved lease which does
not expire until February /, 1908, and
Mr. Lynch thinks that in order to get
the lessee's consent to it's cancellation
Olney will have to pay the lessee a
good round figure. 1t is the intention
of Mr.. Olney to sell his allotment for
townsite. There appears to be no
incumbrance on the Wannassay allot-
ment.
Superintendent Lynch also refers to
the evils of the liquor traffic and the
apparent impossibility of enforcing
the liquor law where Indians are con-
cerned in the state of Washington. He
thinks that If these patents were is
sued 1t would facilitate the work OF
the law breakers in this regard and
that possibly IL the matter could be
delayed the good citizens of Toppenish
and other points would be impelled to
assist in the enforcement of the state
law governing the sale of liqour to
Indians, and that eventually something
along this line could be accomplished
I think it evident from the report
that no patent should issue to Susar
Swasey, nee Stone and doubt the pro-
priety of issuing patent to Olney. and
In view of the superintendent's express
sion concerning the situation as to thc
sale of liquor. it has been determined
to cell on him for a further report
giving the office more detailed inform
alton. Very respectfully.

Acting Commissioner.

The case in point is on the Minidoka
project. Idaho, where certain state
lands fall within the irrigable area
The lands under this project have been
classified and the farm unit fixed at
eighty acres. The question arose as to
whether a person who makes a home
stead entry of eighty acres under the
Minidoka project and also purchases
eighty acres under of state land may
secure water from the government
works for the irrigation of both tracts
The point submitted involves a broad
question applicable to all of the re-
clamation projects The assistant at
torney general holds that:
"A person who has made or may
make homestead entry of lands with
drawn for disposal under the act of
June IT. 1902 (52 Stat. 2SS), and sub
ject to the provisions. limitations and
conditions Of said act, may obtain wa

right to the use Of water for the ir-
rigable area of land entered. and also
for such area Of lands held by him in

exceed 100 acres.
"while there appears to be no re-
striction in the act upon the right of
homesteader to the use Of water for
land owned by him to the extent of
area allowed to any one land owner. 1t
has been deemed advisable to adminis-
ter the law through the instrumental
ty of water users associations which
are organized by the owners of lands
within the project
by the contracts heretofore made
with such associations by the secre-
tary of the interior. only those who
are or may become members of such

into a contract with such associations
