REVIEWS THE PAST.
In This Issue Joe Lewis Concludes
His Story of Army Life.

At the time enlisted in The army,
the country was in sore need of
men. The older members of the
army, whose ages ranged from 50
to IS years, after seeing three years
of service with no prospects of the
war coming to an end, concluded
not to re-eulist and went home after
being discharged, leaving it to the
younger men to remain until the
end on both sides of the line. The
Confederates were SO badly lacking
for men that boys Il years of age
entered the ranks and men from SO
TO So years old could be seen carry
ing their muskets, 40 rounds Of
ammunition, haversack, canteen and
blankets, and whenever the oppor-
tunity presented itself, "giving the
Yankees hell
The same thing existed on the
Union side, except that no boys
under II years were enlisted, but
the country was secured TO find
every available man that could be
secured to help end the struggle.
Soon after enlisted, old men,
known as the ''graybeard regiments"
were called ont for 100 days to
guard the railway lines in order
that the younger men could be
pushed to he front. Young ladies
took the places of their lovers Ia
stores and factories IN order that
the men might go to the front and
the refusal of any young man TO go
resulted IN him being Tilted, for no
girl at that time had any use for a
man who was not patriotic enough
to fight for his country. The same
feeling existed among the women
of the south who espoused a cause
which, at that time, they considered
just and righteous one.

PROMINENT DRY LAND FARMER
Geo. Terrell, Father Of Dry Land
Farming in Utah, Visits This
City.

Geo. Il. Terrell OF Smlthtield, the
father of dry farming in Utah,
spent yesterday in the city and gave
highly interesting and instructive
talk on dry farming at the L. o. S.
: hall last night, and we regret very
much that we are unable to publish
his lecture in full, as the instruc.
tlons given by him on dry farming,
If followed by the farmers Of Bear
Lake valley, would be worth thou
sands OF dollars to them.
Mr.. Terrell called at this office
yesterday and gave us brief his.
tory of his experience in dry farm
ing and related some of the marvel
GUS results he is now obtaining from
his land. He is not only the father
Of dry farming IN Utah but pio-
neer of the state as we'll. He sell
tied in Cache valley IN 1850. In
the summer of 1862, as member
of Capt. Kicks company of 90 men,
he made a trip through this valley.
It was 4s years ago that he con-
ceived the idea of dry farming and
for the first five years his crops
were failures. The people OF that
section declared he was crazy, but
he insisted that he was not, and
that in time he would prove to
them that grain could be success.
fully grown without irrigation. He
continued to try different methods
of working the land, until now he
annually harvests from S5 10 40
bushels of wheat to the acre, 60 to
80 bushels of barley and two crops
of alfalfa that yield more hay and a
better quality than do his neighbors
who irrigate. He has l740 acres
of land in one body, some of which
is high bench land, but there is not
an irrigating ditch on the place.
Mr.. Terrell attended the dry land
congress at Denver last winter and

bottles. tin cans and other refuse. A
big slough extending north and south
just west of the strip o. ground on
which the few tents are pitched and a
cow corral just west of that, mars the
beauty of this camp ground, Then
there is water springing up in differ.
ent parts of the ground which strongly
suggests that some work and money
should be spent putting in drain.
The Stocks Bros. pavilion is quite a
tidy dancing hall and the dancing is
conducted in a very orderly manner.
There is o small out house near the
pavilion, however, that is disgrace to
civilized people. and it should be re
moved to some remote part of the
grounds.
There is one redeeming feature con
nected with the Stocks canlp and that
is the excellent meals served at the
home of Joseph Stock We cannot
praise the cooking too highly as every
thing served was just splendid and
speaksvolnmes for the lady who pre-
sided in the kitchen. Along the lake
shore to the south. with the creek as a
dividing line, is the Nelson camp now
under the management of George E.
Gardner of Montpelier. Everything
has more tidy appearance here and as
result very large majority of the
people on the lake shore are to be
found on these grounds. There is a
chance for great deal to be done here

of the Sixteenth Army Corp, we
went with hun to Tupelo, Miss, at
which place we became engaged
with the notorious Gen. Forrest of
Fl. Pillow fame, and after two days
Of hard fighting, defeated him. We
were then ordered to Brownsville,
Ark, to follow and Cvertake Gen.
Sterling Price, on bis last raid
through Arkansas and Missouri. In
the fall Of 1864 Price, after reach
ing the Kansas line and Pleasonton's
cavalry making it so warm for him,
retreated into Arkansas and was
never heard OF afterwards. From
Brownsville we marched TO Jefferson
City and from there to St. Louis,
where we were paid off and drew
new uniforms. At the time OF our
arrival IN st. Louis, after being on
the march for three months, vading
swamps, swimming rivers and
tramplng over dusty roads, we were

uals as one would wish to gaze upon
Our destination from there was
Nashville, Tenn, arriving there in
time to take part in that battle.
From there we were ordered to East
port, Tenn, to 90 into winter quar-
te"s. But just as we were settled
for est, orders came for us to
board steamers and we were taken
TO New Orleans and from there to
Mobile, taking part in the seige of
Spanish Fort and Fort Blakley.
After the fall of these places we
marched TO Montgomery, Ala, and
on to Mobile. Here, after four
years OF toll and hardshps, the
command was ordered TO gAeaven-
port, Iowa, to be mustered out of
service. From there went by rail
~ far as Grlnnell, Iowa, and from
there by stage TO Council Bluffs.
After remaining there a short time
