They Usually Travel at a Walk
While on a March.
CAREFUL OF THEIR HORSES.
Reason* Why ? Trot op a Gallop Might
Prove Disastrous to the Animals.
The Wagons and Supplies? Going In
to Camp at Night.
People unfamiliar with the marching
of troops frequently have the Impres
sion that mouuted troops usually trav
el at a trot or gallop while on a march.
In the cavalry, however, the gait Is
usually a walk.
There are reasons why It Is not ad
visable for cavalry to trot or gallop on
its road marches. The trooper Is re
quired to carry his three weapons?
rltle, pistol aud saber? over a hundred
rounds of ball ammunition, his blan
ket. shelter tent, canteen, extra horse
shoes and sundry other articles, all of
which add considerable weight to thut
of the trooper.
This weight Is more or less concen
trated at comparatively few points in
stead of belug uniformly distributed
over the horse's back, so that at a trot, j
In spite of all that may be done to I
avoid It, the concussion at certain
points is conshy?rn ble and If kept up
tends to develop blisters and sores on j
the horse's back, which may increase
until the animal Is no longer lit to use.
As the supply department furnishes j
but 0110 horse to each trooper, differ- 1
In? in this respect from the mounts of
the cowboy, who has as many as he
wants, a constant vigilance Is required j
on the part of the captain while on a
; long march lu order to keep his horses
serviceable and prevent his troopers
. from becoming dismounted.
This he accomplishes In part by
marching at a walk whenever the cir
cumstances will admit it. By means of
the walk we make four utiles an hour,
says Captain William F. Flynn. U. S.
A.. in Forest and Stream, and as twen
ty-flve miles is considered a fair day's
march it Is thus made in about seven
hours, considering the necessary halts.
; The wagous carrying our supplies can
, go 110 faster than that, and there is
rarely any advautage in reaching one's
camping ground very much lu advance
of the wagons.
i It Is customary with individual tour
ists and campers upou maklug camp
to turn their horses loose and either
to watch tliem or else trust to luck in
the matter of fluding them agalu. We
aro not permitted to do this in the
I army. We always mean to provide
j gralu fur our auimals on the march,
| aud when we are unable to buy hay
en route and thus have to rely upou
grazlug we put each horse out on a
rope fastened to a picket pin driven in
the ground.
On the march each mounted man
carries his lariat aud pin attached to
his saddle and as soon as he uusaddles
seeks a good grazing place for his
horse aud drives his plu iu the ground.
Tho horso thus gets a limited area
upon which to graze. The pins are
changed once or twice during the even
ing. aud as the horse stays all night on
his rope he gets a pretty fair chance
at the grass, after all, aud when we
want him iu the mornlug we can And
him.
The horses having been unsaddled
and disposed of, the men then put up
their shelter tents. A shelter tent Is a
( convenient little affair made in two
halves to accommodate nicely two sol
; dlers. Each soldier carries his half
aud his pole with him on his blanket
roll attached to his saddle, so as soon
as he unsaddles he can select his
"bunkle" and put up his tent. The of
flcers' tents are wall tents, carried lu
tho wagons aud cannot be put up till
the wagons come In.
As soon as that takes place details
of meu put up the officers' tents, get
wood and water for the cooks, and the
latter build their Ore and at once set
about getting supper. Soldiers like to
: have their food well cooked; but, bet
ter still, they appear to like It prompt
ly cooked, aud that camp cook Is al
? ways popular who yells "Como and
get It!" Just a little sooner tbau it Is
expected.
On the march we eat but two meals
a day. After breakfast the cooks give
each man a liberal sandwich of bacon
aud bread. This the man incloses In
j his meat can and when he gets hun
gry eats it. This constitutes his mid
day meal.
Supper over, a guard Is posted to
! look out for the safety of the camp,
and the other men usually collect fuel,
I build a rousing fire, gather rouud It
and amuse themselves by singing, tell
i Ing yarns aud cracking jokes upon
each other till bedtime, which comes
pretty early with meu on the march.
Tho officers till in tho time in about
the same manuer.
On the march one always has to rlso
eariy. There are so many thiugs to be
done in order to get the cavalcade fair
ly on tho road that early rising Is es
sential. The guard rouses the cooks
long before daylight, and by tho time
the horses are fed and brushed off
the cook announces breakfast. After
: breakfast the tents are taken down,
wagons packed, the horses saddled, and
the column Is onco more on the march.

STAMPEDE ON
10 IDITAROD
Following the wire from Captain
Haines yesterday rumors are flying
thick and fast about the city con
cerning the richness and extent of
the pay on Otter, Bonanza and Slate
Creeks, in the new Iditarod diggings,
private dispatches having been re
ceived here that Indicate splendid
confirmation of the early prophesies
concerning the camp.
The prospectors who went down
with the late fall rush have scatter
ed over the country, following the
lauding of their outfits, and daily re
ports are being received at Beaton
City, on Otter, from outlying creeks,
that Indicate an extensive gold-bear
ing country.
Enough work has not yet been
done to line up the pay on the new
creeks, nor to ascertain its real ex
tent, but enough has been found to
assure a camp with the probabilities
of a winter stampede.
According to the report of Cap
tain Haines, a grub shortage is im

"Speaking of "buck fever,' " said a
survey official, "reminds mo of 'bear

We were on the old surveying steamer
Patterson.
"Just as wo rounded a point of land

black bear was seen on the beach
looking at us. Eight men took up
rifles at once and were about to shoot
when I told them to wait aud tire all
at once In a volley when 1 gave the
order. They all took careful beads on
the beast. 'Ready, tire!' 1 shouted.
"There was a rattle of musketry as
the eight pieces were discharged, and
every one looked to see the animal's
death throes. There was the bear run
ning up the hill as lively as a jack rab
bit. Not a shot had hit him. Bear
ague, that's all. Every man's hand
was trembling so he couldn't hit a
house. Muck fever's nowhere along

"Somo four years ago I had tho mis
fortune to have my feet get sore. Tho
doctors could not tell mo what it was.
I used everything I could hear or think
of but all to no avail. Tho feet were
all cracked across tho bottom as if you
had taken a knife and cut them every
whichway. They would peel up. and,
oh, my I how they did nurt when I
would try to walk ? which I was not
abla to do for a long time. One day
ono of our neighbors came to our houso
and asked what was tho matter. I
showed him my feet and he said ho had
some Cuticura Ointment which would
heal them up. There was only enough
to apply once, but I found it helped
mo so much that I sent for a set of
Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and
Cuticura Pills, costing ono dollar, and
to my great joy, my feet were cured
and have never troubled me since. I
shall praise Cuticura as long as 1 livo
for the great help it has been. Mrs.

DRAWING CARD
A New York paper says: That Al
aska Is it fertile field for farmers is
indicated by an exhibit of its farm
products now being concluded in
this city. Agriculturists in Eastern
states have been attracted In large
numbers by the display. It surpasses
the farm exhibits of an ordinary coun
ty fair, and as a result hundreds of
homeseekers have arraugod to start
farms in Alaska, particularly In the
Tanana valley region.

A remedy which cured years ago,
which has kept the kidneys in good
health since, can be relied upon to
perform the same work In other cas
es. Read this:
R. C. Fenton, 3905 N. Cheyenne St.,
Tacoma, Wash., says: "I gave a state
inont for publication, telling of my ex
perlence with Doans Kidney Pills som
years ago and I am now pleased to
confirm all 1 then said in their favor.
I was afflicted with kidney trouble
and finally I became so bad off that
I was obliged to give up my work.
I had dull, heavy pains through my
kidneys and on ono occasion I was
confined to my bed for almost a
month. The unnatural condition of
tho kidney secretions also plainly de
noted that my kidneys needed atten
tion. When I learned of Doan's Kid
ney Pills, I procured a box and be
gan their use. I felt great relief
from the first and before long my
trouble was entirely disposed of. 1
have since had no return of kidney
complaint."
