Leounard Swett Relates How He Came Near Preventing It. Chieago Tribune: Leonard Swett of icago is a native of Maine and re- visits the scenes of his youth quite fre- uently. He was in Portland the other ny talking with some of his old friends, when General Sheridan’s recent death was mentioned. *“That reminds me,” said Mr. Swett, “that | came very near preventing that famous ‘Sheridan’s Ride;’ had I'done which, I have no doubt, Sheridan would never have been the famous man that he was. “How was that?” asked his friends, and Mr, Swett settled himseli back in in his chair for the story. *On the morning of October 19, 1864, the day of the battle at Winchester, I was at Willard’s hotel in Washington. The corridors were thronged wi lic men, both officers and ¢ a friend was entertaining me by point- ing out the most famous of them. Sud- denly he pomnted to a short, active man, saying: ‘That is Sheridan, the ' cavalry general’ His name was not as famous then as 1t is now, but he was already so con- spicuous a soldier that I watched him with interest, and was well pleased with the introduction with which my frien [favored me. This was the beginning of my acquaintance with General Sheridan, and it came near having al amitous results for him. “After Ileft Sheridan 1 went to the white house to call on President Lin- coln, whose law partner and intimate as- sociate I had been in Illinois before the THE OMAHA DAILY BEE war In the course of our conversdtion I mentioned to M Lincaln that I had 2 Sheridan at Willard’s that morns ing.

They aro breech-lond- ing, and are worked cither by steam or hand brakes. Six men are all that are necessary to handle them effectually. These guns are an_improvement on the Hotchikiss revolving cannon in the game way that the Hotchkiss was an im- provement on the Gatling and Garder. The superiority of the new “quick-firing gun’ isin the heavy metal it throws at a rate which exceeds modern gun of single-firing capa To sure, the Hotchkiss revolving cannon may fire 250 rounds per minute, but the ac- curacy with which twenty-five shots per minute can be thrown from the *‘quick- firing gun,” to say nothing of the in- crease in metal, far exceeds the rain of lighter projectiles from the Hotchlkiss, On our new steel vessels-of-war a com- plement of Hotchkiss cannon, Gatling guns and quick-firving guns constitute known as the ‘‘secondary bat- v, These light guns are judiciously distributed about the decks, in the tops and advantageous positions for a clear range at all small craft on the open water. The “‘quick-firing guns” being of heavier metal than the Hotchkiss Gatlings, are kept wholly on deck, und usuvally protected by a *mlf-turrut or shield against small arms and light pro- jectiles. When the quick-firing guns are in close proximity to any gun of the primary battery the fhicld serves as a rotection from the terrible blast of the eavier ordnance. ‘When congress a few sessions past de- cided upon building up the navy and placing it upon a footing compatible with modern requirements the absence of all modern. ordnance among our ships-of-war was u feature t0o appalling to be overlooked. In Europe the Armstrongs of England were turning out 100-ton guns, while Krupp had under contract a 200-ton gun for the Italians—a gun which would be fifty feet in length, throw a projec- tile weighing 2,500 pounds to a distance of fourteen miles, and use a propelling force of 800 pounds of gunpowder. With us little or nothing has been done since the last war. At the close of that period our naval vessels carried some of the heaviest armament afloat— rified guns of the finest and most pow- erful make, Eungland, France, Ger- many and Russia had in the meantime used every energy to still further strengthen their fleets, and emoluments and inducements innumerable were held forth to the inventive spirits of their respective countries. Congress commenced the new depar- ture of building up the navy by appro- priating $25,000, for iron-clads and stecl cruisers. and at the same time set aside $1,000,000 for the establishment of an ordinance foundry 1n Washington, D. C. A board of naval officers, repre- senting the talent and brain of the ser- vice, was organized to devise and select a pattern of guns for the new na re- course was had to every nation in the world; plans, designs, propositions, and opinions were brought before the ba 3 every experiment known in the world in gunnery achievements was looked into, and, as a result of the delibera- tions and wisdom of this “ordnance board,” a type of guns has been selected for the Amcrican navy which has no suiwr\ur in the world to-day. The first gun decided upon was found impossible to build in this country, for the reason that no foundry possessed the plant requisite for the work. The South Boston iron works of Boston, however, took the contract for the ylunt. This gun cost the government 75,000, and to-day is the battery of the steel dispateh boat Dolphin, nece the advent of the first six-inch rifle the overnment has taken the building in hand and the cost has been reduced from #75,000 for the original one to #35,000 for those now turned out. These guns resemble along telescope, mounted on a steel hydraulic earringe. In the inch rifle this telescope is twenty- cight feet long and the projectile fired bas a range of over five wiles, and it can pierce three five-inch steel plates backed by four feet of oak and teak, at a distance of 500 yards. The caliber of a gun denominates is make. Thus the six-inch rifle hasa bore which is six inches in diameter. The eight-inch rifle (diameter of the bore eight inches) is thirty-two feet long and throws its projectile over ten miles. The twelve- inch rifte is nearly thirty-five feet long and has a range of n thirteen miles, These are our modern guns. They have attained a velocity per sec- ond for their projectiles in excess of Armstrong and equal to Krupp. Over thirty-five of the guns, of different cal- ibers are now finished at the Washing- ton foundry, and the work on the others intended for our new iron-clads is being pushed rapidly forward. - Drink Malto for the 3 nerves.

Tt now hasa population of 40,000, about six-tenths of which are Mormons, but rapidly being outnumbered by gentile emigration. Recent large iu- vestments of lern capital in ente prises in the city and valley have im- parted an impetus to labor emigration and so stimulated the rcal estate market that the irrepressible boom can now be considerced decidedly on, and it isa con- prediction that Salt Lake y will have a population of 100,000 hin five years.

Far into Idaho, Montana and Oregou on the north, Nevada on the west, north- ern Arizona on the south and Colorado to the eastward she reaches out for her teade, As it has been said Salt Lake valley is as “fertile as a garden.” On its one side are the Wahsatch mountains with high peaks which grow mightier in the northward until they pierce the azu sharp white cones. Opposito them and forming the westerfi limits of the valley are the lower heights of the Oquirrh range from the base of which the valley gently hlu‘pr-.« down to tue banks of the river Jordan. Northward, and lying cold and still, is Salt Lake, from out whose waters rise solitary mountain islands, andalong the entire length of the valley there are countless farms. Hardly afoot of ground remains uncultivated, In the ranges are shaded canons, into which one may look, as the train passes, to where bright streams are flowing amid a mass of foliage. Th is a wealth of coloring bright green in the mountains; pure e on the peaks, blue in the dim and nearer the traveler ex- tended patches of yellow wheat scat- tered among the lesser lengths of vege- table gardens, Nature seems to have smiled on this region, and basking in her pleasure the beautiful valley cap- tivates all who see it. In such a spot might Evangeline have lived; itis the Eden of the west. At its upper end lies Salt Lake City, overlooking the lake, and pressing closely against the mountains on whose lower slopes it stands. From the Narrows the dimout- lines of the city may be seen, half ob- scured by the thin wreaths of smoke above it, and nestling like a white patch in the landscape, under the shadow of Ensign peak, which guards it on the north. Intervening stretches the valley for nearly 200 miles distant— “Half drowned in sleepy peace it lay, As satiate with the boundless play Of sunshine in its green array."” Throughout this entire valley can be seen small towns peopled by agricul- turists, who have planted shady groves about their homes; and again a place with huge smelters and furnaces, whose tall chimneys send forth volumes of flame and smoke. Gradually the lakeis approached. Its placid waters reflect the clouds above, and the pealks around it. Toits right is SALT LAKE CITY. Tt is so located as to command a view of the entire valley, both ranges of moua- tains, and the southern portion of the lake, The streets are wide, and lined on either side by long rows of shade trees and flowing streams of pure spring water from the adjacent mountains, The business sections arve well built, and the private dwellings are almost invari- ably situated within large sguaves, and have trees and lawns about the Asit is a Mormon city, the first attrac- tions arve those which the ints have created, first of which s THE GREAT MORMON TEMPLE, The corner stonc was laid April 6, 1853, and the amount expended up to the present date is over 00,000, 1t is 200 by 100 teet: the walls are 100 feet high. and the middle tower on each end will be 200 feet high.

The latter now belongs to the church and is President Taylor's resi- dence, There are nearly one hundred miles of streets in Salt Lake City, 132 wide, and the blocks ave 660 foet square. THE HOT SPRINGS at the cd,fe of the city limits are highly medicinal and the baths are largely patronized for many ailments. The city is well supplied ‘with fine hotels, the Walker and Metropolitan being among the leading hotels, and are as fine as can be found for comfort and uxurious living anywhere west of New York City. They are first-class in every respect, having all modern con- veuiences. They are the headquarters for tourists and” traveling men. The prices range from $2.50 lnil.(x) per day. lhere are several national banks, livery stables, newspapers, foundry reduc- tion works, street railwuys, university and high schools. electric light plants, ete. Salt Lake City has four or five lines of railways, the principal ones of which are the Utah Central, Utah Soulhesn. Denver & Rio Grande, Utah & Nevada. The former and latter are owned by the great Union Pacific Rail- way company, which has more miles of road in the mouutainous regions than any railway system in the world, The Utah & Nevada branch of the Union l.'m'niv runs from Salt Lake City to the finest salt water bathing place and summer resort on the continent. GARFIELD BEACIH, It is located upon the southern shore of GreatSalt Luke, eighteen miles trom Saly Lake -City, (only thirty minutes B ride from the latter,) where the beach for three miles distant is of pure white sand as clean and level ns a floor, mak- ing it the finest naturnl bathing place in the known world. The water clear as a erystal and carvies n densit of salt of about twenty per cent, while that of the ocean is about four per cent, With this great difference in the den- sity of the two waters, that of Salt Lake far excels anything known to science, it is so buoyant that bathers are sus- tained upon its surface indefinitely vithout the slightest effort. The Union Pacific railway company have by im- provement made this one of the most beautiful, enjoyable, enticing and healthful pleasure and bathing resorts upon the western continent. They have erected three hundred new dressing rooms for bathers, all containing st tionary bowls and fresh water show: also a fine restaurant and a number of cottages for those wishing to sojourn at the beach for some time, They have ulso constructed a large pier twenty- five feet wide and o distance of about five hundred feet out into the lake, and at the outer end a and Lion 150 feet long by 100 feet wide, where ther is stationed a band of music ¢ noon and evening, discou pleasure of those tripping the light fan- supon the pavillion and tor the :ation of the bathers aflont upon the waters beneath. The grand old excur- sion steamer Garfield, which has been the pride of the lake for so many yeurs, is still upon its waters, while the little plensure yacht Cloise Sheeman does val- linnt service in making detours of the lake with excursionists or special parties and a large numbher of smaller boats are constantly employed by the thousands of visitors at the beach daily. There are a great many other items of interest at the beach, one of which is Amusement Hall where ten pins, target shooting, and other sports ave indulged in by men, women and children. Everything at the beach der the immediate control of Messrs. Markel & Swobe, of the Pacific hotel company, who with their large exper- ience and unlimited resources spare no pains to make the visitors' stay there one of pleasure and contentment. The Union Pacific have so arranged their train service botween Sult Lake City and the beach that the ride upon the cars is ng)lmwuro of itself. Trains con- sisting of eight to fifteen open summeor cars leave the city almost every hour during the day and evening, returning quite as frequently, thereby enabling tourists, citizens and excursionists to make a trip to the beach and return to their homes or hotels within a couple hours time. It is understood that the company propose creting a magnificent hotel at the beach eurly next spring. If this is done there can be no question but what tourists, and especially families from greater dis- tances, will sojourn at the beach for weeks and months. It is the only place upon any trans-continental lins of rail- way in America where the monotony of the long, tedious journey to the trav- eler, or the dull cares of city life, can Ye overcome so completely in a short time. Here they find & pure day atmos- phere always, made cool and bracing by the lake breezes and the deep shaded canons of the Oquirrbs holding its morning dews from the hot rays of the noon-day sun, Here they find one of the most enliveni e invigorating bathing nature ever provided, and here they find a wonderful study of nature's arts. The Oquireh range forms a beautiful background to the rippling waters of the lake, which stretch out on either haud before the beholder, dancing in the sunlight, sometimes a beautiful blue and at other times green, with three or four of the largest islands in full view, which, in the distance have a peculiar purplish hue. g When Great Salt Lake was discovered it was out of the world, but it is now iso- lated no longer. Every one taking the transcontinental trip on the Union Pa- cific railway is afforded a detour free of charge to Sait Lake City, and once in Salt Lake City the great lake must be seen, and this lake, as a special feature, is becoming better and better known every year, and is now the greatest salt water bathing resort in America. SODA SPRINGS, IDAHO. The most remarkable group of min- eral springs in America are the Soda Springs, of Bingham county, in eastern Idaho. They are situated in a romantic valley, 5,779 feet above the level of the sea, surrounded by lofty snow-clad mountains, and easily reached from the east or west by tho Oregon Short Line, which passes through this region on its way to Portland. Bear river, which is a tributary of Great Salt Lake, flows through tins depression in the moun- tains from east to west. On the north side, Soda creak, fed by innumerable springs, and carrying a large volume of water, flows down to its junction with Bear riv The town and station of Soda Springs are on this creek, a mile above its junction with Bear river.

These delicious soda and magnesia wators are becoming so popu- lar that train loads are shipped each season to consumers in distant states, The Soda Srings region abounds in other attractions worth crossing our continent to see, among them magnifi- cent drives, beautiful lakes, extinct voleanoes, geyser cones, sulphur moun- tains, a boiling lake of the same mater- inl, some wonderful caves, superb fish- ing and hunting, and an satmosphere ealculated to bring the blush of health to any but the most hopeless invalid. It promises to be the great sanitarium of the west, The waters are charged with bicar- bonate of soda, bicarbonate of potash, chloride of sodium and potash, sulphate of magnesin, lime, alumina, silica, car- bonate of ‘arbonic acid, and a multitude of other ingredients.
