The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1923-06-21

His military career began June 13
1853, when he enlisted at Birr, Kings
county, Ireland. His regimenta.
number was 2,764, and he was as
signed to the Second battalion, First
Royal regiment, infantry, then under
the temporary command of Major
Graham. The regiment, under the
command of Major j. P. Gore, was
moved to Castelar,, and later to
Athlone.
In Crimean War
1t was about this time that Gar
Nicholas of Russia took issue with
the Sultan of Turkey, and the war
clouds began to loom above the hori-
zon. England, as an ally of Tur-
key, was in duty bound to side with
the Sublime Porte, as did France.
The German states and Austria as
sumed a neutral position. With war
impending, Duane's regiment, with
Col. Richard William Hewey in COM
mand, was transferred to Ce%phalonia,
and after a brief rest sent to the
Crimea and made part of the Second
division, under the command of Gen
eral Pennyfeather.
Duane participated in the fighting
at Balaklava and I~nkermann, two of
the bloodiest engagements of the
Crimean war. Inkermann was fol-
lowed by a gloomy winter. Terrible
storms on the Black sea destroyed
transports loaded with supplies for
the army. The horses that charged
at Balaklava became unfit for SER
vice; the men who had fought at
Inkermann languished in the field
hospitals. In the wretchedly organ
lied ~lazarets at Scutari the sick and
wounded died by score for lack of
proper medical attention. Shameful
were perpetrated in filling the
contracts for preserved meats. After
the narrowing misery that prevailed
had been pictured in the London
newspapers, something like system
was finally established in the hospit-
ais by the energy of Miss Florence
Duane was never a lady's man, and
at the sight of a petticoat generally
made his retreat, but in recounting
work performed by Florence
Nightingale, he is always effusive in
lis praise. SQ6 was one OIL Tue
greatest women of modern tines is
lis familiar remark.
Under the command of General
.Codrington, Duane's regiment took
of the leading parts in the as
'ault on Redan, following the fall of
'ebastopol. His regiment was then
Lttached to the Highland division,
by Sir Colin Campbell,
of Lucknow. The regiment
vas then moved to Vernutka pass.

Journal.
Yes, IN a few instances it might

Will result if it is done in a laroe
scale. Take for instance Pickerel
lake. Which one? The one near
Muskellunge; or the one near Big
st. German or those two near
State Line. These lakes carry an
asset IN the name "Pickerel'' and
If changed for a better SOUNDING
and more classical one will have
lost the identity of the community
and of the resorts and residents
of those lakes.
Them again here are Link, Of
ter, Catfish, Cranberry, Medicine
and a score more in the EAGLE
chains. The names do not apply
right now to anything formidable
and might be termed misnomers
But, suppose you rename Catfish
and call it "Ad-a-Wa-Gam." What
does this mean to any of the old
timers who revere the name of
Catfish. Its identity would be lost
and with that all of it's associa-
lions should some such name be
given.
1t is true that names like Rat.
Wildcat, Razorback, Squirrel, Mud,
Owl, Katinka and hundreds of
others do not sound euphonious
to a great many people, but what
of that? Don't you think Henry
Hanson and his people love SOUR
rel lake and it's name? How about
Wildcat, where Jimmy Wilson has
a resort? Wildcat is one of the
most beautiful bodies of inland
waters In the lake region, and the
name Wildcat" gives it just the
right tang. How about the fell
lows over near Razorback lake. Do
you think they would want to
have it changed and thereby lose
all of the associations that name
brings forth?
Before changing any of the
names of the lakes in the lake re-
gion for something which might
sound more highfalutin,' to some
college professor or society dame,
it would be mighty we'll to secure
expressions from people who know
and love those lakes with common
everyday names. Lay off changing
the names until you know just
why it should be done.

Owes Debt to Good Roads.

That civilization owes a great
debt to the highway builders can
be understood by reference to his
tory. The first European high
ways were those which went out
from Rome, that the Roman SOL
der might have easy and quick
access to the remotest bounds of
his great empire. With him went
law and order. Later, over the
highways, went the school master
and the college, the education. the
institution and its teachers. The
missionary of the Cross used the
highway, the church spread its
doctrine over the highway, and to
this day, the great churches,
schools, colleges, hospitals, and
institutions for the amelioration
of the condition of mankind are
found always on, never away from
great highways.
1t is the highway which made
the city, not the city the highway.
1t is the highway which made the
demand for the railroad, which is
but steel highway for cars of
steel. 1t is the highway over which
all freight must move sometime,
the highway over which must
travel all that is good, noble, de
sirable in life.
Where good highways are, there
Is a good civilization. Where are
poor highways, are usually ignor-
ance, poverty, disease, lawlessness,
lack of culture, poor standards of
misery.
Investment in highways means
investment in civilization!

A maker of stringed instruments
in Italy has discovered the secret
of the renowned varnish of Gre
mona violins which used to give
to the old instruments their mar
velous sorority. He found the Sc
cret in an Italian manuscript dat
ed 1716 and states that it is made
with certain resinous substances
and is not soluable in alcohol
The varnish was invented by the

was brought to Italy by Antonello
da Messina, and it became known
to the Cremonese through some
painter In the sixteenth century.
