GUNS Of BATTERY A IN
STATE CAPITOL PARK
APPROPRIATION WAS MADE BY
LAST LEGISLATURES FOR PUR-
CHASE OF MONUMENT TO THE
SOLDIERY OF THIS STATE.

The state house of the state of Ne
vada will soon be guarded from foes
without by formidable weapons. The
last legislature appropriated money
for the purchase of the guns that
formerly belonged to Battery A of
Virginia City, and they will be
mounted on concrete bases in the
capital park, says the Carson News.
The guns had outlived their USE
fulness and were accommodating dust
in the state armory. They had long
been condemned by the government
and were purchased for about $500.
Who would object to the purchase of
the relics, when they may be seer in
summer under the trees reminding
one of the old-time encampments, or
when winter blast sweeps the park
and ice and snow hangs on gun and
wheels. would regret the expenditure
for the vivid reminder of Valley
Forge?
The board of capitol commission
ers evidently had this historical les
son in mind when they ordered the
guns placed. Having become the
property of the state they should be
made ornamental, being no longer
useful.
The cannons are the old muZzle
loading type and shoot a three-inch
shell. They were the pride of the
state a few years back. and nc cele-
bration was complete unless Battery
A participated. The company was
always up TO it full strength. for the
old timers were proud of their associ-
alton with the greatest weapons of
war at the time. With the decline
of the Comstock many members de-
parted and the company was dis
banded. The guns reverted to the
government, and were stored in this
city. The last time one was eyer
used was on the occasion of the visit
of William Jennings Bryan to this
city in 1899. Bryan came down from
the lake and the city was crowded
with thousands of people to hear him
speak. One of the guns was placed
near Armory Hall and Captain Wills
Locklin of Virginia City acted as
gunner, announcing a welcome every
few minutes with the cannon.
The old cannon and ammunition
wagons will be a feature in the park
and will bring back many recollec-
tons. Many who are now men will
remember the time their young
hearts beat with pride when the bat
terry marched in parade. The youth
of the present day can hardly realize
the sensation of seeing a real soldier
with a real cannon. but al they play
around the guns they will learn from
others the real significance of war
and the country's defenders. The
silent frowning guns are a fitting
monument to the pioneers and the
soldiery of this state who were ready
to fight their country's battles. but
who never had a chance.

REINSTATEMENT
 E CORRECTED

For some time past the Juneau Dispateh has exercised an undue amnnt ol enhusiasin ia regard to matters pertaining to skagway. and in uleir efforts to get scoop on this paper, have published several wholly untrue.
 Not content with purloining the news as published in this paper, with out giving due o0edit that papeE has taken to printing Interviews with Skagway people. and h doing 50 have gsrbled up the statements made eo l5,m fa such a manner as to make then often times ridiculous.
 The following Rem, taken from a recent issue of the Dispatch Is a far sample of the miscellaneous they arc printing;
 The Skagway branch Of the VIII C3aysou haberdashery Is being closed up and the balance of the stock of clothing wll shortly be shipped to Cordova and added to the shelves Of . uie Cordoya store
 "G rCe Kennedy, afecuouateJ known in Juneau a., Mickey. who 1 has been spending h week visiting vsh his parents in this city, leh by lft,.. ..tos,,,s- l2a~fRa le1f rfrht for Cordova to take up hIs duties as head man in the clothing department Of the Clayson Co. George occupied a similar position i'm the Si1agway store prior to its closing ul,
 When interviewed by a representa- tive oI this paper, regarding the above. Mr. James Kennedy, manager or the Clayson store Ia this city, stat ed that there was absolutely no truth 1 in the matter whatsoever, and that he was confident. that his brothe7 never made any such statement It Is well known fact n this city aat MT James Kennedy has been and stu is the manager of tho ClsysoD store in this city. and he stated today hat Nr. win Clayson will continue as the manager of the Cordova store while George Kennedy will assume the duties as salesman, similar position Go the one held  here
 We fal to see iuigt what Editor Russell's object is in printing false statements. as H only tends to dis credit his paper when he prints art icles which are true.

In order to facilitate cleanliness in
the poultry house and to greatly re-
duce the amount of filth, droppings
boards should by all means be used
BY using little precaution in placing
the droppings boards so as not to OBJ
struct the light the entire floor space
beneath can be utilized for a scratch
ing floor. At least six inches should
be allowed between the droppings
boards and the roosts, the distance de-
pending entirely upon the arrange
ment of the roosts. If the platform is
made In sections 1t can be handled
much more easily, as it is frequently
found desirable to remove them in
cleaning. Smooth flooring is the most
desirable material to use; when ex.
pense is not considered the cleaning
Is greatly facilitated If this is covered
with tin or sheet iron. The platforms
can be cleaned easily with wide hoe
shaped scraper. The droppings can
be scraped off the boards into barrels,
In which they can be conveniently re-
moved to the land

JUDGED BY THEIR CLOTHES
Smart Cigar Store Clerk Ready With
Apology That by No Means
Mended Situation.

Herman Fellner tells this story on
himself, according to the New York
correspondent of the Cincinnati Times
Star. He was in Washington on bust
ness recently and met three or four
friends on the street. After mo-
ment's chat he beckoned them to
come with him. I'm off the stuff"
said he, "but want to buy you each
a cigar"
They happened to be in front of a
combination cigar and news stand at
the moment. Led by Mr. Fellner, they
all trooped in. The clerk hurried to
the cigar case to wait upon them.
Before Mr.. Fellner could indicate his
wishes the clerk had slapped a box
on the glass case. Here y are" said
he. Best dime smoker in town."
Mr. Fellner is sort of fussy about
his smokes He looked at the cigar
then showed the box away. Have
you no other price," he asked.
The clerk showed the box in the
case. Sure thing" said he. MY mis-
take and your treat"
Having pulled off this time-worn
witticism, he addressed Mr.. Fellner
confidentially. Your clothes sort Of
fooled me-" said he. You fellers are
a pretty well-dressed lot, you know"
Then he put another box on the coun-
ter. Here" said he, "is the best
nickel smoker in the village"

pear, in addition to tina killing of the
twigs, limb and trunk blight occurs.
The canker Of fire blight is nothing
more nor less than the dead spot or
strip. These cankers usually can be
traced to the dead twig or an insect
puncture-the entrance point.
AS soon as the bark and growing
layers are killed, the dead parts dry
out and take on sunken appearance.
If one digs into one of these spots,
he finds the tissue dry and brown
while healthy tissue is full of sap and
green. The surrounding bark grows
and pulls away from these canker
areas. Thus the canker becomes
marked out by sharp line.

I herculean. The soil, however. is fer
tile and although it is cultivated by
hand, or by the rudest of farming i'm
plements, not an available foot of it is
permitted to go to waste. Fences
which occupy space, are rare in
China. Even grass, which in compar
ison with grains, ouch as wheat, bar
ley and corn, conduces less to the
support of life, is denied room. Fish
is abundant and rice is the stapl
food for the bulk of the population
All decaying matter Is returned to the
soil to fertilize it and, thus replen
ished, the land continues to yield rich
harvests.
In the mechanical arts the Chinese
eare as Industrious and patient as in
the cultivation of the soil, but they
lack the tools and, more than the
tools, that spirit of initiative and prog.
ress which means success today In
some Of the arts they are wonderfully
skilled. But as an industrial people
as the term is understood in progress
sive America, they lag far behind.
Some Great Achievements.
To the student of history they seem
a different people from those who
built the Grand canal, the most re
markable waterway in the world; who
carried the Great Wall over rivers,
mountains and canons for nearly 1900
miles as barrier against Tartar in
vasion; who first devised the system
crude as it was, of movable type and
who first used explosives in the art OF
warfare. This was, however, before
the period when their national life
seemed to crystalline and progress
was turned backward
Among the monuments of mankind
the Great Wall is unique. 1t includes
a greater mass of masonry than all
the works of ancient Rome and Egypt
