THE DEPARTMENT OF IOWA.
Its Splendid Showing I'm the Parade
Was Not Given Proper Notice.

Editor National Tribune: 1t is but
three days since / returned from the
National Encampment and the grand
parade at Salt Lake City, "all OF which
l saw and part of which I was" and 1
took up your issue of Aug. 10 with
pleasant anticipatiOns of a complete
and correct record Of the attendance
and proceedings. What is my surprise
to find that your reporter, while giving
favorable mention of almost every 9TH
er Department in the parade, has en-
tirely omitted peerless Iowa. Being a
native of this State and having lived in
it most of my life, and in addition,
having looked with much pride upon
the large and striking section Of that
parade formed by Iowa men, 1 am. in
company with many another, quite
touched that she should not be men
toned in the dispatches. One thing
that made her part in the parade espe-
cially prominent was that each veteran
bore flag on a staff surmounted by a
large and excellent specimen of Iowa
corn, every ear of which was raised
upon the farm of the present Depart
ment Commander. Michael Mcdonald.

The truth is, this gap mad TO be
passed by Hood or go at least 40 miles
out of the way thru the mountains. Col.
Moore gave orders when we We're de.

the gap at all hazards. So the hobby

claims that Col. Pritchard was ordered
to picket the river. Well, he did, with
part of his command, and he captured
Davis with the balance by taking a DIFF

REUNIONS.
Grand National Reunion of the Blue
and Gray.

Comrades: 1 propose a Grand Ma
tional Reunion of the Blue and Gray
at the city of Chattanooga, Tenn, dur
ing the first week of November, 1909.
it is over A years since the close of the
war, and we old veterans are passing
away very fast, and in order that we
may once more meet, and it in grand
Reunion. a central point is desirable,
so the one named above suggested itself
to me as the best. Chattanooga is an
historic point, and one we can all meet
and talk over old times and cement to-
gether our National interests and ex-
tend the hand of brotherly love. The
old Confederate was and is our brother
and now that we are all working for
the best interests of the greatest Ma
ton on earth let us hold this meeting
Be sure to write a postal card to the
Mayor of Chattanooga, expressing your
approval of this Reunion. Let every
old veteran of both armies write him
and at once, so, if it is agreeable, he
can make all arrangements.-J. q.

APleasant Reunion.

Three veterans met quite unexpected
ly at Seattle during Old Soldiers Day
at the Alaska Yukon-Pacific Exposition.
These were Geo. Hart, of Auburn
Wash; Comrade Warner, of Nebraska,
and Jacob Ripley, formerly of Mon.
mouth, Iowa. 1t was the first meeting
of these veterans since being mustered
out, and was quite unexpected to at
least one of them-Comrade Hart. They
all belonged to Co. F, 4th Wis. Cav,
and after they had fought over their
battles until their tongues were tired
they posed for their pictures.

the Julian report, for which the false
statement therein contained does not
carry a particle of weight in this coun-
try where the true extent OF the ore

among eastern people who have no
way to ascertain the truth. Mr.. Snow

Harris Bros colored minstrels fell
in upon the town Saturday evening,
giving late performance in tent
pitched on the vacant lot between
Parks store and Wickersham' s saloon.
Other performances in the nature of
sacred concerts were advertised, but
audiences failed to materalize. There
were about dozen darkies in the
crowd and band of a few pieces was
a part of the outfit. The band feature
was exceedingly pronounced, the pre-
formers evidently considering speedy
I'm, n
necessary for the production of music.
For swiftness and strong arm work
nothing has surpassed the performance
in this place. The brand of entertain
ment under canvass is said to have
been great improvement over the
outdoor exhibition of physical endur-
ance. The show sought other lands to
conquer Monday.

Mr.. Mccormick takes great interest
in Okanogan county, and may return
next spring to remain permanently.
Nc is very bright young gentleman,
and his fluent praise of this upper
country is doing it no harm. He is
pretty observing, too, and although it
may be heresy declares that Okanogan

CONSTRUCTION TO COMMENCE

An article in the Sunday Spokes-
man-Review upon contemplated rail-
road movements states that contrs ctors
have been instructed to push work on
the Oroville-B ewster branch. Up to
the time of going to press no pushing
is visible to the eye, yet corroborative
evidence is not wanting to prove that
the push will be pushing before the
expiration of many days, probably be-
fore another issue of the GAZETTE. A
private letter received in Orovlle from
an authentic source states that the con-
tractors are expected to commence
work by the 10Th of August That date
is so near at hand that it will be no
time at all before the,pick and shovel is
actively applied, if the information is
correct. 1t is sincerely hoped about
these premises that the next issue will
carry the news that construction is
actually under way.

when the seed begins to sprout the sand is gently shaken from the seed, the defective ones are thrown away, and the vigorous sprouts are eight inches wide. The plants are carefully planted in beds, set two inches apart each way. These beds are then topped with an inch of soft sand and the surface is kept moist with sprinkling cans, while the walks between the beds are used as irrigation ways to sub-irrigate the soil.
 These young trees will be ready for budding a year from next fall, and from this one ship ment of seed it is estimated that enough orange trees may be ma tnred to convert Imperial valley tito an important citrus fruit district.

The largest seeding orange enterprise yet started jn Impe- rial valley is that now under way on the Laport ranch, south east of Silsbee. Felix C. Ravens of Fl Centro and ". W. Laport, owner of this ranch, are the of the enterprise whereby they expect to bring to maturity more than a half mill ion of orange trees for planting in this valley.
 They have erected lath house 126x156 feet and seven feet in height. Within this enclosure the work of starting the orange plants has been carried on for the past three months. Experts are engaged in the task, and al ready the deep green of the tiny rows shows co advantage and is attracting many visitors.
 Five and a half bushels of Florida sour orange seed was secured for this first planting. The methods used are interest, ing.

COL. DORRINGTON'S LIBEL
 SUIT.

The Phoenix Republican of the 9th instant makes the following comments regarding the Baxter libel suit against the Sentinel:
 1t takes less provOcation to starta q libel suit in Yuma than any other place we know. Our esteemed friend, Col. Darlington, of the Sentinel, has found that out, having been made defend ant in an action for S25, ,O00 brought in the name of the city council. The plaintiff had pass ed an ordinance imposing a license tax upon the business of prostitution within certain limits. Col. Darlington expressed a be- lief that it had been negligent iu that had failed to repeal the ter ritorfal statute which makes the licensing of prostitution in Ari, zona impossible. It would not be surprising if Col. Darlington for putting in would have to pay that S25, ,000 out of the same fund that was drawn upon for the liquidation of that S29, 240, Goo fine of the Standard Oil Co.,"
