Soldier Boys Depart
For Training Camp

act OF May IS, 1886. Under instruc-
tions several vessels proceeded into
southern waters, and later, two
schooners. the Vincennes and the
lorpoise voyaged along the Califor-
MIA cost and the Pacific northwest
section. In the spring OF 1871 they
entered Puget Sound

fa' observing the ,lav. and this in

ST. te participated in by marines
CD. alton took place az the head OF
4ako Sequalitchew, near oil Fort
MS, lily. 1t was ln tnis occasion
that Captain Wills ana small
party walked over t. the adjoining
i,sc. and while th'.; LAKE had TO
i,rortant part in the celebration
he named it American. Up to this
time the lake bore the name Spoot-
sylth, which suggests the uncanny
reputation among the Indians They
would for some superstitious reason
never bathe in the lake. Americans
are not given to that feeling and do
so with impunity.
Among the early residents there
was some dispute as to how Wilkes
came to name the lake American.
The reason appears obvious, but
some recounted the fact that Dr. ]
p. Richmond. missionary in that
section, delivered the Fourth Of July
Grafton, and he and his wife were
with Capt Wilkes when he named
theh lake. Mrs. Richmond's frst
name was America, and some have
contended the captain gallantly ap-
piled it.
Anyhow, 1t became American lake
and American Prairie.
A modest monument marks tho
spot of the celebration. The histor-
ians supposed they knew the exact
spot up to eleven years ago, but to
make certainn Slugimus Koquilton.
an aged Indian, was one day taken
out, and while many changes OF
vegetation had taken place since he
saw it forty years before, he fixed
the spot in a different location and
there the monument was unveiled
sixty-five years after the celebration.
The town of Steilacoom, about
five miles from American lake, Is the
Oldest town on Puget Sound. A mile
to the east are remnants of the old
barracks of Fort Steilacoom, where
in their day Grant and Sherman
served as young officers, long before
the civil war.

Today will be holiday at the
county court house. Every one is
going to the fair at Caliente.
The Phoebe schools are represented
at the fair with an exhibit of sew
ing and drawing. executed by pupils
of the sixth, seventh and eighth
grades.
Special deputies have been put on
and it Is expected that strict order
will be maintained during the fair.
Automobiles will be parked In the
rear Of the store of the Caliente
Mercantile company and a special Of
ficer will be detailed to watch them
SO that visitors need not fear the loss
of extra tires, INNER tubes or other
automobile accessories. And woe be
1t unto the man who attempts to
steal from any of the parked mach

The Lincoln County High school
has nice exhibit of fancy work and
products of the manual training de-
partment at the fair.
The changing of the date of the
departure of the Lincoln County sold
lers from the 22nd to the 18th, was
great disappointment to many Cal
iente people. They had planned on
giving the boys big send-off at
the depot as they passed through on
their way to the contonment.
The Gardner Ranch company has
a nice exhibit of livestock at the fair
from its Pahranagat valley ranches.
