The preparations for the departure of the
Dodge Light Guards were marked yesterday
by a sad tragedy that resulted in the death
of Everett Patterson , Uio 17-year-old brother
of Harry Patterson , one of the guards.
The accident occurred at the home of the
boys , at 820 Sixth avenue , at 1:30 : o'clock
yesterday afternoon , and alnwt In the pres
ence of their mother , Mrs. M. E. Patterson.
Will Johnson , another member of the
Guards , accepted the Invitation of Harry
Patterson to dine with him. Since Saturday
the Guards have been wearing their full
uniform , wild cartridge belts , and a n'linber
of them hive been carrying their side anrn ,
on account of the possibility of being called
it any time to take a train for Dee Molnes.
Each of the young nun carried 45-caliber
revolvers in their holsters. When they er.-
ered the house they took off their belts and
aid them on a dresser , calling the attention
of the members of the family to the fact
tiat the revolvers were loaded. After din
ner some time was spent In cleaning up their
accoutcrmeats , a process that was watched
with great Interest by the younger Patter
son boys , Everett and Louie , the latter n lad
of 14 years. The two young soldiers had
occasion to leave the room for a few
moments and before golm ; again oilled at-
cntlon to the fjct that the revolvers lying
on the dresser were loaded and cautioned
he younger boys about handling them. Im
mediately after the older boye left the room
he younger boys picked up ttie revolvers and
jegan to play soldier. In a few moments
.hey were engaged In a spirited contest with
maginary Spanish foes. In the excitement
they stood polnt'og the loaded revolvers
acro's the table toward each other. The
weapon in the handnof Louie WES discharged.
The bullet struck his brother on the rlgtit
side of the neck just below the ear. It
: raversed the neck , severing the carotid
artery and the trachea and lodged beneath
the skin on the left side.
Tbe shot alarmed the household , and when
the members ot the family rushed Into the
room they fotnd Everett lying on the floor
with a fountain of blood gushing from the
wound In his neck. He wav unable to speak.
A surgeon was quickly called , but before
tie reached the house the your s men was
dead. Death was hastened by the flow of
blood Into the windpipe , producing strangu
lation , aad It was but a trifle over a minute
until the end came.
The young mm was a bright and win
some lad. a member t > ! the High school and
at the head of all of his classes. Hl.i
brnther , who t'ns been almost insane since
the accident , Is atao In one of the higher
gridca of the public scuools.
This is the second violent death I tat has
occurred In the Patterson household. A few
years , ago the futhcr , who was a well known
Colon Pacific employe , was killed by light
ning as he eat In hlA house looking out of
a window. Tbe family Is well known In
the city and has many friends. The two
daughters , Edna and Bertha , have long been
connected -wltb the Telephone exchange.
The funeral will be held this afternoon i
frcm the residence at 2-30. The body will I
be burled In Walnut Hills cemetery. The I
pallbearers will be taken frcm his class '
mates In the High & bool.

DODGE LIGHT GUARDS WAITING.
Under ( Arnm and Anilou *
for the Woril to Go.
The Dodge Light Guards remained at
their armory or within close call all day
yesterday , ta momentary expectation of re !
ceiving U > e message from the adjutant
general calling them to Des Molnes. They
were hardly Inclined to credit the report
that came from the state capital that the
expected ordtr would not arrive before to
day and the departure not be before Tues
day morning , and preferred to stay near
headquarters to avoid any danger of delay
In assembling when the order came. It wae
an anxious and In many ways a pleasant
Sunday for them. They were the recipients
of most marked attention and admiration
from all sorts of people. Naturally the
most pleasant attention and that most freely
given was the encouragement that oime
from their women friends. Cartloads ol >
flowers were sent to the armory during the
day , accompanied by other priceless little
gifts. When the company leaves eacl
member will carry with him many precious
mementoes.
Further preparations were made yester
day for a proper fendoff for the boys. A
citizens' committee was organized to lool
after the details. It was decided to Issue !
a call to all the survivors of the late war
both blue and gray , to meet at the cornel
of Pearl street and First aveaue. opposite
the Grand hotel , when tbe signal for de
parture is given. This , as agreed upon , will
bo the ringing of all of the bells In the
city and the sounding of all of the steair
whistles. The call also includes tbe Hlgt
School cadets , who have been granted per
mission by Superintendent Hlsey to at enc : <
leave their places In school when they heal
the signal and join the crowd at tbe parl
corner. All will form an escort for th <
troops and will march with them to the
depot , headed by bands of music. Wall Me-
Fadden's drum corps will lead tbe proccs
elon and will board tbe train with the soV
dlers and accompany them to Des Molnes
Arrangements have been made for as many
of the old veterans as possible to show thetr
the same consideration and the prospect Is
that there will be more citizens than sol
dlers on tEe train.
Among the gifts that have been received
at the armory Is a finely executed plctun
of Young America with tbe national colon
wrcrred around him and his chubby little
fists shaking a defiance. Underneath Is tb <
Inscription , "Don't Touch that Flag. " Th5
work Is the product of the pupils of th <
Iowa School for the Deaf. A fine steel en
graving of tbe new equestrian statue ol
General Dodge , recently unveiled In New
York , has also been presented to the corn-
pany.
Captain V. ' . O. Pryor received a telegram
from Adjutant General Byers last night ,
notifying him that It was not necersary to
hold tbe guards at their armory pending
telegraphic orders to start for Des Molnes.
The young men consequently bad a good
night's rest In their own beds last night.
A petition was started among the Light
Guards yesterday afternoon requesting
Gcvernor Shaw to appoint Matthew H. Tin-
ley to the position ot second lieutenant of
the company. The place was made vacant
by the promotion of Lieutenant Moore to
the position of first lieutenant and there
has net been time to call an election to
fill the vacant office and now since tbe
militia has been called Into active service
the rules of the War department prohibit
such an election. Tbe petition bore tbe
names of all of the members of tbe com
pany and was forwarded to the governor
last nlzht. There Is no doubt but thnt he
will grant the request. The office Is worth
about $100 a month now.

PORTLAND , Ore. , April 23. ( Special. )
Only a few jears ago In 1803 the sand
dunes on the south side of the Columbia rive :
along the railroad between the mouth of th
John Pay and Umatllla , were looked upon
as a desert waste , fit only to block trains by
piling up the pand on tbe track to a depth o
a foot or two In a few hoilrs' Wind } weather ,
and when Dr. Blalock of Walla Walla con
celvtd the Idea of planting 100 acres of thli
waste In fruit tiees ho xras ridiculed. Bu
today there are there ICO acres of thrifty
bearing fruit trees , the property of an Ore
corporation known as the Smeacl Frul
association. Mr. Snieart , the president.
sa > s the farm has now'be'gUn ' to pay ex
penses after some * $35,000 had been rpcnt
upcn It. During this year the stockholders
will realize a srofit. * " .M
All kinds of fruit known to the temperate
zone grow to perfection In this large orchard ,
which Is Irrigated by the power of the mighty
Columbia. The water 'Is raised from the
river to a height of sixty feet by a set of
force pumps run by a water wheel set be
tween two scows , which rise or fall with the
waters of the river. This jear there uro
5,000 peach trees which will bear heavily ,
although the frost has killed all the peaches
In many parts of Oregon and California. On
th's ' farm the frost probably took a third of
the peach blooms , but there are enough re
maining to render it necessary to prop the
treeo rs the se-ison advances.
Rows of Lombardy poplar shade trees are
planted a short distance apart , and these
make a "breakvvlnd" which shelters the fruit
from the too frequent breezes that In the
summer time follow up the Columbia bottom.
The first fruit to ripen will be cherries , In

The peaches and apricots find markets In
Spokane , Butte , Anaconda and Rossland , but
thus far Portland has obtained Its peaches
and apricots from California and crowded
out the Columbia river product. This year ,
however , Mr. Smead thinks he will head oft
the Golden state in the Webfoot metropolis ,
as the crops in the eouth are a failure.
Tne vviter for Irrigation la carried over the
farm in V-shaped troughs. Altogether there
are nearly three miles of these flumes on

the ground near the trees In little dltchen

down tbe Celestial Is as helpless as a chlU ,
and a Caucasian must be on hand ready to
mend the break before John can go on with

The varieties of fruit grown on the form

peaches , prunes , plums , pears , grapes ,
strawberries and melons , and besides these

SANTA FE , N. M. , April 24. ( Special. )
Clerk Berger of the First Judicial district ,
comprising Santa Fe , San Juan , Tacs and
Rio Arriba counties , has Decided that the
money In tht court fund /at present will
rot be used to pay off [ allowances of the
last term of court under tpe old regime.
As there are outstanding < warrants from
last term of over JG.OOO which have not
been paid , and , judging 'frwn ' Clerk Ber-
ger's statement , probably never will be paid ,
the decision not to use the. present funds
for that purpose Is causing considerable dis
appointment to the holders W the old war
rants. The clerk contend * If the money was
paid out for back bills there would be no
money for future terms of court , which
would , ot COUIEC , cause a rrtuch more con
siderable degree ot annojAnce than the old

WASHINGTON , April 24. If the president
eerds a message to congress tomorrow ask
ing for a declaration of war , as Is now an
ticipated , the response will be prompt and
emphatic.
Now that war his been entered upon , even
those congressmen like Mr. Johnson of In-
ana and Mr. Loud of California , who hung
ack protesting to the last , have sunk their
idlvldual views In the common cause , and
,1 are now anxious to give to the president
united support la every measure deemed
s.ntlil or ueccciear } to prosecute the ware
o a speedy and successful conclusion.
In order to show- the world that all fac
ional divisions have ceased , and the repre
cntatlvrs of the Amerlsan people arc arrived
n solid and Imnoalng phalanx bchioJ the
hlef executive , the declaration of war will
e paoed without a word of debate and upon
he roll call It Is not likely there will be a
tsscntlng voice.
Following the declaration of war the house
will proceed to the work of providing the
Inews with which to prosecute It. But upon
hlc there will not be unanimity. The re-
ubllcans and democrats hold widely dl-
ergent views as to the methods by vvhlcr.

No factious opposition , however , will be of-
ereid b > the mlnorltj. The leaders of the
minority are extremely anxious and the }
vlll InfiUt , so far as they are able , upon
presenting bitch substitute propoiMtlcns as
are la line with their Ideas and doctrines
or the bill framed b } the republican mem
iers of the wajs and means committee
vhlch Chairman Dlngley Introduced Into the
icuse } esterday.
The democrats of the house , er > peclall } the
eaiJera and members of the wao and means
ommlttec , feel aggrieved because they havt
lelther been consulted nor had a voice In the
reparation of the war revecue measure.
In the Wee of a foreign , enern } . they na >

koted to uphoU the hand.i of the president

WILL BG CALLED UP TOD\Y.
The bill will not be presented to them
'ormally until tomorrow morning and Chair
nan Dtagley expects to get It before the
icuse during the day. He thinks the til
should rase and go to the senate b } Tuesda >
night at the latest.
The democrats will protest agalnnt this
expedition , but will probably not carry thcl
opposition bsond that. Mr. Bailey , the dem
o.ratic leader , and other democrats rcallz
ha necesslt } for prompt action and , wall
they feel they have bcn unfair ! } treated , un
der the clrcumsUaccw , they will make n
'ai'tloua opposition. „
They are particular ! } desirous of the op
, ortunity to pres-ant substitute proposition !
lor varlouu features of the bill as prepared
Mr. Bailey said they would probably b
willing to forego general debate if an ar
rangement rould be made to consider the en
Ire bill for amendment under the llve-mlnut
rule.
rule.The chief amendment they desire to offc
F for an Income tax , which they believe can
t > o passed to meet the ae-clslon of the FU
prcmo court. They believe a eonslderabl
proportion of the \\SLT \ tax should be raise
trom this source.
They are opposed to tome of the pro
visions of the stamp tat , which they believe
will prove onerous and Irritating , and it U
likely they will offer propositions In lieu
thereof for 50 cento per barrel oo petroleum
und a graduated tax on railroad and other
ttant-portatlon tickets , both of which proposi
tions were considered by the republicans of
the ways and means committee , but re
jected.
There Is also considerable opposition to the
bond features of the bill or , tbe democratic
side , and whether with unanimity or not a
motion will undoubtedly be made to strike
It out. Sir. Bailey , however , IB understood
to recognize the necessity for an authorization
for borrowing money. Some of the popullats
dculre an authorization for an issue of green
backs. The bond feature of the bill will
probably be bitterly attacked.
The whole week in the house Is likely to
be given to the consideration of the war
measures , but such time as remains * will
probably be consumed In dlspoilng of two
election cases and other minor matters. Fea
sibly the general deficiency bill might be
taken up before the week closea
SENATE FORECAST.
It Is the expectation In the senate that the
week will begin with the receipt of a. mes
sage from the * president asking that congress
shall make a formal declaration of wai and
that there will bo a quick response to the
request.
There has been some apprehension that
there might be a renewal of the effort to
secure recognition of the Independence of
the Cuban Insurgents In connection with tbe
war declaration , but the best Information
now Is that this will dot be undertaken and
that there will be practically no opposition
In the eeiMto to a war resolution.
It is suggested on the part of some of the
members of the committee on foreign re
lations that It will not even be accessary to
rerer the president's message to the com
mittee when received , but that a resolution
can be Immediately Introduced and parsed.
If this suggestion should not prove practica
ble the committee will report promptly.
The senate will resume reconsideration ot
the naval appropriation bill at the earliest
moment. The only disputed point undisposed
of In connection with the naval bill Is the
provision In regard to tbe price of armor
which Senators Tlllman and Butler are mak
ing an effort to have reduced from $403 to
$300 after the three battleships now building
are supplied.
Both these senator ? , and probably others ,
will make speeches In support of this
amendment , and tbe debate will In all prob
ability bo quite sharp. It docs not appear
probable that the amendment will be ac
cepted by the senate.
The senate also will take up the army re
organization bill as teen as It can be reached
after It la reported from the committee on
military affairs , by which It will be given
prompt consideration.
The committee will a Ire take cognizance
of the supposed defects In the volunteer
army bill with a view to correcting them If
found as serious as reported. This bill has
been Investigated by some of the best law
yers of the senate and most of them express
tbe opinion that it Is not defective.
It io not believed that the war revenue bill
will receive consideration from the senate
this week , owing to the probability that It
will meet with sufficient opposition In the
finance committee to delay It there for some
time.
The democrats will seek to eliminate the
bond feature of tbe bill , and they may at
tempt to Incorporate a provision for an Income -
como tax when tbe bill reaches the commit
tee and a stubborn contest Is promised , both
In the committee and in the senate.
Whether the bill Is emended In the com
mittee or reported as it cornea from the
boute , the Indications are quite positive that
It will be made the basis of a prolonged dls-
cuealon.
