where Lee and Meade met unexpect-

tie ever fought on the American con-
tinent. For two days the issue hung
in the balance. Then. in final des-

ordered Gen. Pickett to charge the
Union lines. With Pickett came the

on the failure Of that charge hinged
Northern victory.
THIS year the 18th anniversary Of

other to be reckoned with. Cervera

There the Spanish naval leader
thought he could hide his feet while
taking on much-needed coal and sup
plies. However, he was discovered by
Commodore Schley. and the mouth OF
the harbor blockaded.
Here it was that 1t. Hobson per-
formed his classic feat in sinking the
collier Merrimac across the narrow
entrance of the harbor. In company
with seven other brave men Hobson
sunk the vessel, but because q Spanish

was only partially successful.

said:

there was born one who was to
play major part in the war which
made finally effective the work Of the
men who placed their signatures upon
the Declaration Of Independence Of
the United States Of America. John
Paul Jones was his name, and he
earned the title of Father of the
American Navy"
Another maritime hero Of America

Paul Jones-and one of the progeny
Of July was John Ericsson. No man
did more than he to insure the preser-

who invented the Monitor, the queer

down from Brooklyn to Hampton

Coolidge. On the same day that Provi-

C. Foster will unquestionably outlive
at least 95 per cent Of oil the songs

"Marsa's in de Cold. Cold Ground"

quickly, but 1t went faster. Parasitic

THE first Independence Day must
necessarily have been q serious
one. and though there was q certain
amount of rejoicing, thoughtful people
were more inclined to be solemn than
gay, realizing the responsibility that
lay between them and freedom, still
to be won on the battlefield.
However, q later Independence Day,
that of July 4. 1863, called for q
different way of reasoning. The three
day Battle Of Gettysburg had been
fought by the strongest army the Con-
federates could put in the field. TIT
Union losses were: Killed. S.1ss;
wounded. 1889: prisoners, sass
Confederate losses: Killed, a.ss2
wounded, 12,70e; prisoners, $50
Total losses, 2o.451. But Meade had
held his own. the invasion Of TN

Big Mystery
Although the lake began to form
only 8 years ago, already bass
weighing as much as pounds have
been taken from it's waters. The
origin of the big fellows has been
mystifying the anglers of the
Southwest. The best explanation
so far searched out by officials of
the Bureau of Reclamation, which
built the dam, is. that the big fish
spring from a planting of $4,000
OsWego bass fingerlings planted in
the Virgin River in April 1917.
Quantities of smaller bass in the
lake indicate that fine breeding
grounds exist there and that the
lake will not have to rely for its
fish supply wholly upon paintings.
New Planting
A new fish hatchery, constructed
by the WPA and now operated tI
the Bureau of Fisheries, is being
equipped at Las Vegas, New. Next
year it will be ready to supply 500,-
900 bass fingerlings for planting
in the lake and it's output will be
as great each year THEREAFTER.
Below Boulder Dam, where once
the Colorado was a tepid, turgid
stream, the cold waters released
from the lake through the turbines
of the power plant now flow clear
for more than As miles. One hun
dred thirty thousand trout finger
lings have been planted in this rec
ton and it is believed that this
section eventually will be known as
one of the finest trout streams in
the West.
