I'VE sA DERARTMEMT
ROOSEVELT RESERVOIR
 PROJECT BEING RUSHED
Twenty Thousand Cubic Yards of
 Masonary Placed Last Month.

W. M. Stevenson returned Wednes- day evening from Roosevelt where he has been for the past several days looking over the work of construction of the immense reservoir project. However. in the opinion of Mir. Stever
 son. the principal feature of the work is the immense amount of masonry be-
 ing laid at the present time. The dam at the highest point has reached a height of l33 feet and with an average height of about 126 feet. The water has risen in the reservoir to within thirteen feet of the lowest point in the masonry. The record for the month of February in point of cubic wards of masonry actually placed in the wall equalled approximately fifteen thou sand. This month all records were broken in this or most any other pro- ject and a total of 2O,000 yards of masonry was placed in the reservoir dam. While it is a hard matter to es- innate the probable length of time it will take before the reservoir is entire ly completed vet the time has been placed at considerably less than a year and a half. If the present amount of work being accomplished by the two shifts is kept mp the project will be completed in considerably less time.

COWS PASS EXAMINATION
 FOR TUBERCULOSIS
The Methods Used in the Detection of
 Dangerous Malady.

Tn order to determine whether tuber- culosis actually exists in his herd of dairy cows, pr. A. B. Cook has just completed a thorough examination of the stock owned by w H. Allen. The forty cows were each found free of germs.
 The manner of making the eNamina- tion is by the injection of tuberculine a preparation put up by Parke Davis company. The temperature of each COW is taken and carefully noted. Aft CT this the process is repeated at least three times at intervals of two hours. a careful record being made each time the tuberculine is injected. It is the tuberculine that makes the discovery. In case the animals temperature rises it is an unmistakable sign of disease germs. When no reaction takes place after the injection of the tubercUline the animal is in a healthy condition.

His friend answered that he was

just for fun. The landlord and the
Indian, so confident were they of
winning the bear, paid little atten-

the bear was already theirs.
The landlord shot first, while
the Indian watched the target with
telescope. Then the Indian shot
and the hotel man watched. And
the firing went on until it was the
turn of Mr.. Benson's friend. He
made a good string, but the Indian

A GREAT SHOOTING MATCH.
How Benson Beat Indian Deadshot

E. D. Benson, the venerable
gunsmith and old-time deadshot
with the rife, went down to Guse-
man Saturday to spend a few
weeks with his daughter, Mrs. NJ.
L. Brotherton. His son, George
E. Benson, accompanied him and
returned the next day. The Re-

write for publication some of the
interesting stories in connection
with his match shooting, hunting
and gun making experience. He
has not yet promised, but this
newspaper hopes to be able to an
nounce soon that he has agreed to
prepare them. Mr.. Benson has
made about twelve hundred rifles,
and they were good rifles, every
one Of them. They were scientif-
cally constructed and the detail
work of them was perfect, When
Z. D. Benson rifed a barrel it
would put bullet to the tack.

SALUTED SON Of
GENERAL GRANT
Leader Of Forests Cavalry Began
Demonstration.

A touching demonstration Of
welcome by the men in gray for
the son of the man who defeated
them marked the final scene of the
nineteenth annual reunion of the
United Confederate Veterans last
Friday.
In the reviewing stand during
the parade stood Gen. Frederick
Dent Grant, of the United States
Army. Forests Cavalry division
approached, and General Tyler,
OF Hickman, KY, its commanding
officer, old and grizzled, peered
steadily at General Grant a mo-
ment. Then he turned in his sad
die, and yelled: Come on, you
kids; here's General Grant come
to life again in his SON."
With one Of the old-time rebel
yells the division charged on the
stand and jostled one another for
an opportunity to shake the hand
Of the son of their old-time enemy.
From that moment every gray-clad
veteran who could reach the stand
rushed up to shake hands with
General Grant. General TYLER
embraced him, and one venerable
private actually planted kiss on
his cheek.
The stout army officers cold
gray eyes filled with tears as he
murmured: God bless you all,
boysm
Battle-torn banners were group
ed at his feet and waved over his
head in salute by more than one
veteran weeping at the thought OF
what an amiable situation had
grown out Of a bitter past.
The parade over, the reunion
ended and veterans special trains
began to leave the city.
The ball of the sponsors, maids
and matrons at night was the one
big social event OF the reunion.
Clad in the rough gray home
spun which they wore in the six
ties, and carrying the ancientrihes,
10, 900 United Confederate veterans
marched in what was probably the
last big parade in which they will
ever participate. Some of them
wore Struggling gray boards as
gray as their uniforms and there
were many empty sleeves. The
heat was intense but not a veteran
fell out Of line.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1909-06-17

man gasped. Mr.. Benson quietly
loaded again, took the steady, de-
liberate, confident aim that always
characterized his shooting, and
gently pressed the delicately set
trigger. This time the Indian
groaned, and the landlord snatched
the glass from his hand and point
ed at the target and trembled as
he looked. Meanwhile Mr.. Benson
put down another exact charge of
powder and another carefully
moulded ball, raised the rife and
fired.
And now the Indian and tie
landlord were grabbing the tele-
scope from each other aud sputter-
ing loud oaths. The crowd was
amazed at the thought that any
man could outshoot the two neigh
borhood champions. But Mr.. Ben
son not only beat them but left a
record string that was for many
years and probably still is unbeat-
en- in that locality. After winning
his own bear he sold it for a round
sum and came home. --Terra Alta
