the State.
Editor National Tribune: Will you
please state when and under whose au-
thority the Enrolled Missouri Militia
was organized; also, whether 1t is a
pensionable service?- p. j., Cairo,
Mo.
The conditions that existed In Mis-
souri, in 1851 were peculiar There
were two Governments striving for su-
premacy; one maintaining allegiance to
the Union, the other to the Confederate
States.
On account OF these exceptional con-
ditions. the people were formed into
hostile factions. and this resulted In
many perplexities in the organization
OF the military forces Of the State for
home protection and for the service OF
the General Government
There were In 1851 and 1862 numer-
Gus bands OF guerrillas IN the State, en-
gagged In robbing and numbering peace
able citizens for no reason except that
they were loyal to the u. S. Govern
rnent For the purpose OF furnishing
these crimes and breaking up such
bands. Brig. Gen. John M. Schofield,
Militia and OF the United States troops
Of that district. organized the Enrolled
Missouri Militia" In the Summer OF
1862, under the authority Of H. r. Gam
BILE. Governor OF the State.
The above conditions resulted in
| much trouble and misunderstanding as
to the status OF the various commands
| and their relation to the State and to
| The United States Government.
On July %, 1862. an order was issued
| for every able-bodied man to report
| without delay to the nearest military
post for duty, bringing with him such
| irms as he could procure and a horse,
| II he had one. Six days were allowed
| or.compliance with this order.
On Nov. Z. 1852, an order was issued
| stating that any person falling to enroll
| after he had been notified would be
subject to fine OF $40. and would be
| liable to imprisonment until the hne
| was paid and he was duly enrolled.
Under these conditions II different
lasses Of troops were organized in Ma

&C. Turner of Wellington is install
ng IA pumping plant on his farm in
Smith Valley with which he Intends
to raise water 45 feet to a tract of
land which for many years has lain
barren and practically useless. The
land which will thus be reclai med is
exceedingly fertile and Mr. Turner
believes that he will be able to pro-
duce enough on the ground in few
years to reimburse him for the cost of
the pumping plant
The survey OF the plant was made
by a. c. Pratt, formerly surveyor
general of the state, and several days
spent i'll the work in order to insure
its accuracy
1t is probable that "a turbine
wheel will be installed similar to the
one at j. Rodenbaughs in this valley.
Mr.. Turner, however, has not the
bundance of water power, as the
Walker river from which the water
will be pumped, Is almost dry when
1t reaches Smith valley during certain
of the months.

CONSTRUCTION OF
MAMMOTH RESERVOIR

The Dangberg Company is building
Buckeye which threatens to eclipse all
of their previous efforts in the way of
reservoir building Some fifty men are
now employed in the work and it is
pcssible thai IA larger force will yet be
nut on in order that the work may be
completed in a very short time. Tom
Savers. foreman of the railroad con-
struction gang, has been given con-
tract to build the levee which will
confine the vast quantity of water to
be stored III the reservoir and he viii
begin work on the contract at once.
Water from the reservoir will be
used to irrigate large tract of land
along the base of the Pinenut range
and will be the means of reclaiming
many acres of valuable land. The
new reservoir will be one of many
which the Dangberg company has
constructed for irrigating purposes.
At different points upon their broad
acres they have built reservoirs and in
"A measure have solved the irrigation
question TO their own satisfaction.
During the season when the Carson
river flows bank full and many gal
Ions of water would otherwi sc run to
waste they store this surplus in their
many reservoirs and let 1T out
where il will do the most good later
in the season. In this manner many
acres of rich, fertile land have been
made to bloom with the vegetation of
modern farming industry, where but
few years ago only the sagebrush
sprouted and grew nurtured by the
powerful forces of nature embodied
in the strength and fertility of the
soil.

Plant
On West Side

Dave Parks on the west side of the
valley has completed arrangements
whereby he will lie enabled to utilize
the stream which flows down toe
mountain side back of his residence
for power purposes. A. 9. Pratt is now
on the ground making the necessary
suveys and as soon as he completes his
labors actual construction work on
the plant will commence
1t is Mr.. Parks intention to install
dynamo and generate electri C power,
which will be transmitted to a motor
and then used as power for pumping
water, running machinery and doing
other work aoout the farm. There is
a posi- bility that he will use the cleo
tricity for illuminating purpos es a
we'll.
There is good stream of water at
this point which if utilized to its fullest
capacity should furnish power suffi-
eient for all of Mr.. Parks immediate
needs and still retain balance for a
few of his neighbors.
The experiment, however, has never
been tried in this valley before and
the above assertion is entirely a mat
ter of conjecture. Should it prove a
success there is great likelihood th at
