 Heroisn, at Horse Shoe Bend.

Mrs. Cherokee A. Rogers of Fort Gibson, ,. T., cousin of the late sena- tor John T. Morgan and whose father. Colonel Gideon Morgan, was promoted for bravery by General Andrew Jack son at the battle of Horse Shoe Bend. Is pleased to learn that steps have been taken in the Alabama Legislature to commemorate this great battle of the pioneer days.
 In letter to Representative Bulger, the author of the bill providing for the celebration of the battle. Mrs. Rogers gives an interesting account of her fathers heroism at Horse Shoe Bend and traces tho genealogy of her fam fly.
 Mrs. Rogers writes as follows:

 Ala:
 My dear Sir-"I have read in a newspaper an article from a citizen of your State on the Battle of the Horse- shoe Bend" also see from your State papers that you have introduced a bill into the Alabama Legislature looking to the celebration of the bat tie of Horse-shoe Bend. and to erect a monument to the brave men who lost their lives in that battle. and as my father, Colonel Gideon Morgan. com manded the Cherokees in that engage ment. thought perhaps you would be glad to know that there was still liv- ing a connecting link between the past and the present. So If any apology is needed, hope this will suffice.
 My father. who had 1900 Cherokees under his command. was promoted by General Jackson on the field for bray cry and meritorious condust.' In the engagement he received two wounds. ono through the shoulder and one in the head over the left eye, from the effects of which he lost his sight. Af- ter a number of years. MT. Clay of Kentucky got bill through Congress giving him 8 pension. The govern ment was not so generous then as now in rewarding its soldiers.

to be applicable to the fcrtiliza-

but a superficial knowledge of the
Typographical and meteolog ical
conditions of this region to declare
that several hundred thousands Of

Future years Will witness an extern

this region until practically every
acre of the valley land will be
made a garden spot. But the
fertility of the soil which is to
be called into life by the sYitaliz-
ing influence of water from these
mountain reservoirs, while Consti-
tuting permanent basis, does
not comprise all the vast resources
of this region. 1t possesses a min

beyond all human calculation.
When the great undertaking at
Mountain Home, upon which near

pended, shalt reach final accom-

sources of this section of southern
Idaho, constituting the theatre of
this vast operation, will possess a
full round of resources furnishing
the basis and foundation of civil

of some of the smaller eastern
states.
1t is true that the project to irri-
gate these arid lands near Noun
tain Home has been opposed by
we'll meaning individuals. With
but little knowledge of the reser-
voir system, men have declared the
scheme was impracticable. Others
have objected because OF the facl
that a large area of government
land would be taken from the
grazing privileges of the sheer
hen. These objections, while
possessing no real merit, NATURAL,
placed stumbling blocks in the
way of the capitalists whose f9itf

the directors have all fallen int
the background and nothing can b
