During the civil war, when the

Position of the Brigades.

All reports agree that Turchins S
Brigade formed the right Of Baird's
Division in that charge, and his left
connected with the right of NanDer-
yeers Brigade, and that the I'd MINI.
was the advance line covering the
brigade, so that Turchin's Brigade was
in plain view of us to our right all
the way up the ridge. each striving to
get there first. Had the I'd MINI. been
on the north side of De Longs Point
we could not have seen Turchn's men,
and the long lines of blue coats
to the south as l plainly
remember seeing.
The latest phase Of this unpleasant
affair IS that MIR. Stewart, in behalf
of Turchin's Brigade, has asked the
Park Commission to remove our
granite monument costing nearly sS,-
000. and dedicated TO the I'd MINI.
Longs 8Sint, where the Government
owns FIVE acres of land. for the pur-
pose Of rearing monuments upon, to
"Strock Point" 450 yards, north, to
where no land is owned bi the Gov
ernment, except the crest road, and
we fear tho sacrilege may be COM
mitted.
Fortunately, a few members of
Beatty's Brigade who still live ac-
Elnenldlly discovered tne great wrong
that had been done TO their brigade
and the Government, as we'll as to
the memory of Gen. Beatty, and to
Fullerton and Boynton, who, as mem
bers Of the Park Commission,
without doubt in the minds of fair
minded military men, correctly To-
Gated the positions of each brigade of
the Army of the Cumberland. in their
assault on Missionary Ridge, Nov. %,
1863, have made application before
the Chickamauga and Chattanooga
Nationa! Park Commission for "a
hearing in the matter and TO have
their markers moved back TO the
positions on the crest that they
assaulted and captured, and if the
minds of the Commission. and the
Secretary of War are not 'indurated"
we of NanDerveer's Brigade hope TO
keep our mornmcnt from being oblit-
Grated from De Longs Point. and in
very righteous action Of the Park
Commission, have the old line of bat
tie restored and the markers and tab
let's put back where originally placed.

i Rchcaring Obtained.

Notwithstanding all this, through
the persistent efforts Of the Chairman

Senator Foraker, in their behalf, Sc
duced Il new Park Commission and a

Your readers will remember that
this singular action was taken after
Cen. Fullerton and Gen. Boynton had
been removed from the Park Com
mission by death, and their places
had been filed by less interested par

TO prove their own case or disapproye

BObwhite Insects Enemy.

The Bobwhite receives the heartiest
praise of State Game Warden William
l.. Finley
"When one realizes that the annual
loss sustained in this country by weeds
and insects is in excess of $500, 900, =
900, +" he says, and that the natural
diet of the bobwhte is weed-seed and
insects, he will appreciate the enor-
nous saving this bird would be to the
country at large, were it protected and
propagated with care,
A scientific investigation of the food
of the bobwhte reveals the startling
fact that nine birds consumed, among
other things, on one day, the follow
ing 1850 flies, 5000 apids, 1886 rose
slugs, 81 grasshoppers, 2400 pigeon
grass seeds, 5 black crickets, 50 large
and medium-szed grasshoppers, 700
insects, 300 of which were grasshop-
pers. 1882 insects, 1000 of which were
grasshoppers, and iS grasshoppers.
The bobwhite is known to eat 1856
different insects, most of which are Of
the injurious type. Potato bugs, Gu
cumber beetles, cut worms, army
worms, wire worms, chinch bugs and
cotton boll weevil are among them. A
careful estimate shows that this bird
will average $4,000 insects and 5000, :
600 weed-seeds during the year.
1t is now in contemplation by the
State Game Warden to release large
number of these game birds and supply
bobwhite eggs to farmers who will
agree to allow them to be hatched by
their hens and protect them while
young, finally permitting them to wan
der at their leisure to all parts of their
farms.

games played between the two rival
aggregations of the city. the League
team, composed of boys of the lower
town, and the Heights team, resulted
Sunday in victory for the former.
Sundays game. just sail the former

the score was 2 to 0. Myers, the
crack pitcher for the LeagueEboys, was
again on the job and did effectual
work. Castner caught for the down
town boys The Heights battery was
Hart and Hall. Both the latter
players have done excellent work this
season.
The last game was lost by the
Heights through errors on the part Of
Koontz and Samuels. Each one of the
pitchers struck out nine men. The
fans of the city are congratulting
themselves because of the fact that
they were able to witness at :home
such excellent exhibitions Of baseball
playing.

says Il. G. Rogers, who has just re-
turned from an extended visit from

dozen for eggs. The people would not

eggs awaiting rise in the market
In about three weeks the price scared

WHY NOT SEE THE WEST?

In way our American people are
an ignorant lot. As an example take
the eastern society leader. who when
the summer months begin to approach
has numerous maids pack numerous
trunks and bundles together her
daughters and takes passage on an
Atlantic liner bound for European
resorts. The Continental hotel keepers
reap a rich harvest aud this country
suffers from the ignorance. Ia re-
cent bulletin issued BY Charles u.
piekey chairman Of the Greater
Baltimore Committee, which IS
waeiug "see America First" cam
paign. it is stated that the statistics
Of the State Department at Washing
ton show that about 22O. 600 Americans
90 abroad each year as cabin passen-
gers and ABOUT 1000 in the steerage,
and that they spend around S2OO,OO0,-
600 exclusive of money spent for jew
elry and clothing.
The fact is astonishing. II is really
a slaughter of the Innocents. " The
European managers of hotel trusts
wax fat and grow more opulent than
American magnates.
Indeed, the movement that is being
promulgated by the Baltimore organi-
zation deserves the eommendation OF
all patriotic American citizers. Those
who now 90 abroad should become
educated to the wonders, beauties and
opportunities of America. IL is laugh
able often times, when the easterner,
who, although he or she may know
Europe and its cities as well as a rep
resentative of Baedeker, begins to
converse about the West. The conyer-
sation is usually an outburst of ego
istie ignorance.
Woe TO the harvesters across the
pond, when the tide is once turned
and the people once realize that they
have wealth Of wonders here al
home TO look upon.

TROUBLES OF THE LAND OFFICE.

Referring to numerous communica-
tions that are addressed to its offices
concerning the location of different
kinds of lands and the lack Of
knowledge on the part of United
States Land officials, the Oregonian
in an issue of las week contains an
editorial that should be perused by
newcomers seeking locations.
The newcomer relies too much on the
knowledge of the government land
agent. In 20 far as the land agent 8
knowledge goes such reliance is not
to be found fault with. However as
The Oreg0nlan states, those seeking
land should not allow their prejudces
against real estate agents to cause
them not to consult the latter. 1t may
be true that, just as in all industries
and all businesses there are real estate
agents who have dealt fraudently.
Operations by such class, when spec
ulative periods gave them the chance,
has tended to lower the standard of
the business. The fact is one that is
to be seriously regretted; for the real
estate agent, who has the interests of
his community at heart and, the
greater portion Of them will be found
such, is one Of the greatest benefact-
ors to the community in which he eX-
pends his energies.
In its comments the Oregonian says
''Ihere are six Unitel States land
offices in Oregon, and in each several
millions of acres Of land. about which
the Land Office officials know but
little, for the reason that they are not
charged with any such duties Where
they do know anything about the lands
open for settlement the officials are
almost uniformly courteous and atten-
tive. But the register of the Portland
Land Office would probably not know
anything about the land in the other
districts, any more than the register
Of the Lakeview district would have
knowledge Of the land around Portland.
"A landsceker must first decide in
his own mind which portion of the
state he wishes to settle in. This done,
he should decide whether he wants
arid or humid land. If the former, he
must then decide whether he wishes
irrigated or dry farming land if the
latter. the price he wishes to pay, for
as rule it may be said that there is
very little homestead land left in the
humid sections. There are arid lands
to be taken under the homestead laws,
in tracts of l60 acres, and in places 800
acres. These lands as a rule are what
are known as dry farmingslands as the
rainfall IN the vicinity is below the
amount relied upon under general
farming methods to1mature fun crops.
If the writer of the communication
wanted to invest in a box of writing
paper he would probably not 60 TO a
paper mill he would undoubtedly go
10 some retailer of the article. And
just the same is true of the land bust
ness; the best person TO set one right
Is the real estate agent-the man who
investigates and knows about the
lands because that is his business.
And as rule the land agents or real
estate agents are Just as reliable as
any other class of business men.
Land agents can be found in any
land district who can tell more or less
about every quarter section of vacant
land in the district, and for this they
viii make no charge unless they
satisfy the inquirer and locate him.
