l. -S57 there was an Indian outbreak,
and Hood, with twenty men, was sent
in pursuit of a band of 100 braves,
whose raids on the settlements in the
southwestern part of the state had
caused much alarm. For three weeks
Hood followed the Indians, who drew
him further and further away from any
chance of reinforcements, and who
would not give him battle until their
horses gave out and those of the troop
ers were almost spent. Then there
ensued a fight that for years was the
marvel of the frontier. 1t was in the
FriO country, near Devils river, that
the forces met. Few of Hoods little
command escaped unscathed, but the
Indians were routed utterly.
From Lieutenant to Major General.
In 1861 at the outbreak of the rebellion
Hood resigned, went to Kentucky and
offered his services for the defense Of
that state. But as Kentucky hesitated
Hood proceeded to Montgomery, Ala.
and there was commissioned a lieu
tenant in the Confederate army and or
dered to Richmond TO report to Lee
Promotion came rapidly. In a few
months he was a major, next lieutenant
colonel, then brigadier general, and
next major general. Of all the generals
who had command I'm the southern
armies it is doubtful if one, Lee ex-
cepted, participated in a larger num-
Der Of important engagements, and if
any received so many serious wounds
and continued in the service.

seph E. Johnston In command Of the
army opposing Sherman. Against such
a master of strategy as William T.
Sherman Hood cut a poor figure. It Is
true, of course, that the spirit OF the
south was broken and that the men
fought out of pure dOggedness, and not
with confidence of victory. Sherman
had little respect for Hoods ability, con-
sidering him less able, in fact, than Joe
Johnston, and not a few southern sol
diers think Sherman was right.
Hood, like many another brave soldier,
probably was more capable Of carrying
out the brilliant plans Of another com
mander than of conceiving brilliant
plans on his own account and then at
tending TO their execution. Sherman
drove Hood before him steadily and
surely from point to point until HOoC
made his final stand at Atlanta
When that city fell Hood made one
despairing effort to turn the tide He
raced around Sherman's forces ana
tried to cut the Union general off from
his communications, expecting to COM
pei Sherman to turn back But the
backbone Of the COnfederacy was
broken, and minor defeats and minor
victories cut no figure in the inevitable
result Hood came in for bitter criti-
cism for the manner in which he con-
Quoted the campaign against Sherman
Losers generally are blamed. Johnston
was one Of the most savage of his
critics, and the two had some sharp
correspondence as a result of JOhnstOu's

Hoods capacity as a commander Bun

only enough of your body left to hold
your noble soul I would hold you to
your promise. In place of the limb that
you lost you have me as a crutch. For
the arm that is shattered you have my
two arms If your eyes fail whose eyes
should see for you but mine?"
And so these two were married to live
a life that was to have as its climax
one Of the most remarkable incidents IN
American history.
His Early Career.
To the South Hood always has seemed
a knightly character. As Il buy and as
man, in the camp and in the home,
he was the same lofty spirit. He had
all the ehivalry and sense of honor of
the highest type Of the southerner. To
do worthily to the best of his ability
everything that was a duty was his
cadinal principle in life. He persOnified
the highest ideals of the southern sol
der. To bear on high the colors and
charge at the head of the column as he
did at Chickamauga appealed TO him
as one of the most glorious privileges of
the war. From che day he was COM

he surrendered he carried on his sword
the bit of silk he got from the woman
he loved just as the knights of a form
er day wore notices of their loves in
that age of chivalTy and romance.
He was born in Kentucky in 1881 and
was appointed cadet in West Point in
1919. He was graduated in the class Of
1858, along with Sheridan. Mcpherson,
SCOfield and a host of other gallant
men who were to play prominent roles
in the great tragedy of the civil war
His first service was in San Francisco,
then the center about which was gath

ers the world perhaps has ever known
The region was mad with the fever of
gold, and one Of the best pictures of the
golden city Of that period is that given
by the young lieutenant in some letters
he penned at that time.
In 1855 he was transferred to Fort
BeIknap, Texas, to serve under General
Albert Sidney Johnston. It was in
Texas that he had his baptism of fire

At the request and through the courtesy OF Land
Commissioned Hornbeck, have lately visited the loca-
uion of our contemplated irrigation system in Pecos
Valley. l feel that you ought to congratulate your
selves and your engineers for finding such a natural
reservoir SO closely located. to this exceptionally fine
body of land. If you were to hunt the length and
breadth of the arid West doubt if you could find a
tract of land lying SO nearly ideal for irrigation.
In the Pecos Valley the question Of water supply Is
one of great Importance. However it is my opinion
that when irrigators are trained to the proper use of
water, and the available water in the valley is eonserv;,
ed, there will be sufficient for all needs. l understand
that you contemplate allowing one second foot for
each eighty acres of land. Judging from experience and
observation in different sections, l would place the in
telligent economical duty of water on these lands at
$50 acres per second foot. With the natural resources
at your command. wisely used, we look forward to see
