Letters from the last new branch
of the National Home. known as the
Battle Mountain Sanitarium, located
at Hot Spring. South Dakota. speaks
well of this health giving resort, and
since Or. Miller has been in charge
all departments run smoothly and in
unison. This great sanitarium estab'
llshed by Uncle Sam for the beneh'
of those who served in the Union
army. is essentially a branch OF the
National Home, for disabled voiun
teer soldiers, and is now, as are the
other nine branches. under the domi-
nation of the board of managers. IL
was in 1892 that General Averill as
inspector first conceived the idea OF
establishing a sanitarium in South
Dakota.
During his official visits, he had
noted the wonderful cures effected oy
the pure air, almost continuous sun
shine and healing waters, so abun-
dant in many springs and streams OF
hot and cold water.
1t is a singulh freak of nature that
storms seldom occur in the daytime.
as q record OF eight years denotes.
The air is pure. dry. balmy and al
ways laden with samic odor OF many
species of the pine which is a potent
factor in the healing of lung and bron-
chial affections, which together with
sunshine. air and water heal or re-
lieve all cases of sub-acute and chron-
ic rheumatism and numerous other
diseases.
The altitude of Hot Springs above
sea level is 1892 feet. while Battle
Moupntain towers to height OF 1,5VO
feet. At the foot Of the mountain Is
a plateau containing $3.50 acres. This
latter affords the site for the SAM
tarium, while the entire reservation
of over 5000 acres includes Battle
Mountain. The location is Of unpar-
alelled beauty and where are assem-
bled by nature healing elements I'M

byrd REPLIES TO SEN
AT0R Hollis LETTER
Speaker Explains His Position
on the Baylor Survey
Question

RICHMOND, VA, Jan. 22.-SpeaKer
Byrd this morning gave out the foi'
lowing statement IN regard 10 ms
position On the oyster question and
the breaking of the Baylor survey.
My attention has been called TO q
letter of Senator Hollis published in
this mornings Times Dispatch. The
senator criticises my appointment OF
the committee OF Chesapeake ami lts
tributaries. This criticism is based
upon an article in yesterdays News
Leader, which seems 10 convey the
impression that | selected the new
members of the committee with refer
ence to their views on the question of
the breaking of the Baylor survey.
The reporter evidently misunderstood
the purport of my remarks. What ]
intended to say was that the people
of Virginia as a whole had interests
In the Ash and oyster ground of the
state which entitled the whole state
TO representation On that committee
and that the people of Tidewater were
much divided. As a matter of fact,
did not know and do not now know
the views of single one of the new
appointees. | selected men of sucn
character that their very names are
a guarantee of fidelity to the interests
of the state.
II unhesitatingly assume RESPONSE
bility for giving the whole state rep
resentation upon the committee on
Chesapeake and its tributaries. and |
also say with frankness that the time
has come when the state generally
should inform itself as to the condi-
ton of It's fish and oyster properties
and assume control Of the same.
in the article referred to in yes
terday's News Leader the typo made
me say some very absurd things such
as oysters dropping into the wind
OF course the word wind should have
been mud
Il am in favor Of breaking the Bay
lcr survey to this extent: that under
efficient safeguards such of the bot
tom now included in the survey as
have become barren should DE leased
10 planters and thus made productive
both of food and revenue"

Phoebus Police.

1t Is gratifying to learn that the
clientele OF old men. who of necessity
have become members CT the National
Home, are becoming wiser as their
DAYS on the footstool grow less. In
the years ago there was decidedly
more drinking OF strong beverages
and the police of cities adjacent to a
branch were kept busy making ar
rests. Such an occurance meant
heavy fine, which in the majority OF
cases was paid. The police OF Phoe-
bus report that but few breaches OF
the peace are made by old ex-sol-
diers, and this speaks well for the
present department of the men. The
force under Mayor Furness. who have
the welfare OF Phoebus in hand are
as a whole an excellent body OF
guardians. They are genuemanly and
kind and the writer has seen more
than once the care they bestowed on
the members Of the home when they
were sadly in need Of it. They will
place an old fellow in a carriage and
send him home and with the excep-
ton of Milwaukee, Phoebus is the
only city where such care is shown
the old men.

Patronixe theHoms store.

The home store and its close neigh
Dor the restaurant, are in condition
TO supply the members with almost
any article that is needed for their
use or comfort. The prices are not IN
excess of what is charged by other
dealers. The material handled is
equally as good as can be obtained on
the outside. This is a single state
ment of fact, but Notwithstanding this
a large proportion OF the men seem to
prefer to deal On the outside, and this
cut OF the revenues Of the post fund,
not alone to their individual detri-
tpent but to that of others who pa
tronize the home industry. The case
is quite clear that the more sales
made that accrue to the post fund,
the greater the number Of theatricals
and other amusements will be vouch-
safed the members. Entertainments
must be paid for and as there is no
item of the branch to meet such ex-
pense, all such indebtedness must be
met by the post fund. Therefore II
proves of common sense that those
of the members who patronize the
home theater should lend their aid
in meeting the attendant expenses
and purchase their wants at the home
stores. or in case of substantial eat
ables at the home hotel.

As To Gold Payments.

A lively argument was IN progress
among a bevy of old vets" as TO
when the troops in field during the
Cavil war were paid in gold. To make
a long story short the matter was left
to your correspondent to solve. Here
il is: The men who enlisted under
the first call Of President Lincoln for
three months service were paid in
gold and all men who enlisted for
three years up to the summer OF 1861,
were paid in gold, the last OF sucn
payments however, ended in October
or November OF the initial year OF
the war. and all subsequent payments
were in green backs.
