VETS. To HAVE BIC
TINE At REUNION

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 9.-Mus-
icians of the War Between the States
will play the stirring elodies of long
ago at the annual reunion of the Unit
ed Confederate Veterans, to be held
here the week of June Am historic
features of the great parade will be
the original Stonewall Jackson brass
band of Staunton, Va. The gray-clad,
gray-haired players of this rapidly
dwindling organization furnished mar
tai music in the sixties for the famous
Stonewall brigade. These venerable
hGndsmen also will give free open
air concerts at Camp Harper on the
plaza fronting the Union railroad sta
ton during the reunion.
Col. Robert N. Harper, chairman of
the citizens reunion committee, an
nounced that the parade, Thursday,
June T. will be formed in three grand
divisions. The first will be composed
OF Confederate Veterans, and sons and
daughters of veterans, and will be
headed by the Stonewall Brigade Band.
The second division will comprise mil
itary organizations, regulars and Ma
tional Guardsmen, and cadets. The
third grand division will comprise civ
ic associations and marching bodies.
The parade will be reviewed in the
court of honor fronting the White
House by President Wilson, members
of congress, diplomats and government
officials.
The visiting Confederates have been
requested by Chairman Harper to
bring their blankets with them, while
Gen. Harrison, commanding the South
ern veterans, has directed those who
have their old wartime uniforms OF
gray and butternut to wear them to the
reunion. These features will give the
occasion a touch of realism and bring
to memory the great military expert
ence of more than half q century ago
when their wearers battled under the
leadership of Lee and Jackson and
other military leaders Of Dixie
The hundreds of Boy Scouts of this
city and vicinity will render invaluable
service to the veterans and other Wis
TORS They will act as guides and
escort strangers to the many public
buildings and historic spots in and
about Washington. Among the valued
and interesting exhibits here are the
Washington collection including the
Continental uniform Gen. Washington
wore when he resigned his commission
as commander-in-chief at Annapolis,
Md, in 1888; two life masks of Abra-
ham Lincoln, war, paraphernalia OF
Gen. Grant and the gifts he received
on his tour around the world; personal
relics of Adams, Jefferson, Madison,
Jackson and other great Americans;
relics of Paul Revere, famous as the
hero of the ride to Lexington in 1775;
uniforms, hats, pistols and other mil
itary equipment of Gen. VIM. T. Sher-
man; and mementoes of other Civil
War officers.
There are also on exhibition the
complete war time uniform OF Con-
federate soldier; the buckskin coat
and other relics of the great Indian
fighter Maj. Gen. Geo. A. Custer; and
any mementoes of the Spanish-Amer-
lean War, including the collections of
Gen. Lawton, Capt. Chas. Gridley and
Capt. Sigsbee who commanded the i'll
fated battleship Maine.

upon Clinch and Powell's rivers.
Wallen's creek and Wallen's ridge
received their name from the leader
of the company. They penetrated
as far north as Laurel Mountain in
Kentucky where they terminated
their journey.
In the fall of the next year,
1853, Wallen and his company re-
turned again and hunted on the
waters of the Clinch, etc. 1t is
probable that the Wallen referred

MANCos CELEBRATION.


The Fourth celebration at Mancos
was n thoro success and the large
crowd present enjoyed the day. The
morning was spent in listening to a
patriotic address, after which the
large concourse gathered under the
shade trees and enjoyed the barbe-
cued meat, and other good things.
Especial praise was given the chef
who barbecued the beef, which was
delicious. After lunch the crowd col
lccted at the ball grounds to see Do
lores and Durango play ball. 1t was
"hit and run" game right from the
start and was finally won by Du-
range, lS to Ia. The Smelter band ar
rived about 3 o'clock and enlivened
the balance of the day with music. In
the evening several dances were Civ
en- and the Durango crowd returned
home tired but happy. The Mancos

compliments for their hospitality.

tanned the employees of the plant. The
entertainment program included music
sports, general social hours and
eats" In the spirited tug-ofwar
contest, the carpenters won first hon
ors. The barbecue was feature of
the occasion. An OK, roasted to n
queens taste, was served by four
caIvers. Another quartette served
bread while others poured coffee for
the crowd. The address of the day
was delivered by Attorney F. C. Per-
kins who introduced his interesting
remarks by describing the first In
dependence day, when mere handful
of men, who recognized the needs of
their times and foresaw the greatest
needs of future generations, braved
untold dangers and signed the Decla
ration of Independence, document
that has for its basis the recognition
that all men are created equal-with
equal rights. He traced the growth
of this idea of liberty thru the years
-..asti- rue present time, when practic-
ally the whole world has banded to-
gether to crush that government
which is trying TO destroy
the things for which our government
stands. He emphasized the fact that
the government of the United States
was not one that owed allegiance to
any man-but that it is govern
ment not of men but of laws, laws
which it is our duty as good citizens
to obey and uphold. Following the
subject to its logical conclusion he
showed how our people are fighting
for liberty and how it was necessary
for each and every individual to do
their part toward making this fight
successful one To the women he
brought the message that they were
the soldiers of conservation, and
their part in the big war to save
the food supply, upon this will their
patriotism be guaged. AS a parting
thought he urged that whatever field
their duties may be, that not man
or woman be found wanting. The
celebration was a success IN every de-
tail, and further cemented the bonds
of friendship that marks the rela-
tions between employers and employ
es in the local plant.
