Inspector-Genera Davis, in his annual
report, recommends the assembling of
all field batteries for a school If theoret-
ical and practical instruction. The
purchase of cavalry horses the past year
has been attended by delay and difficulty.
Suitable horses nre not easily obtained.
1t is suggested that q cavalry school be
established for thorough instruction in
this aim. He says it would be advan.
tageous for the government to have a
stud for breeding, to limited extent,
horses of the best strain, shape and yigor,
which should be the standard of the
cavalry horse. This would encourage
farmers to breed O like class OF horses.
The law requiring the purchase of all
supplies after public advertisements is

where tho advertisement cost more than
the supplies purchased under it. The
concentration of military posts into q
much smaller number, with q correspond
ing increase OF %garrisone, is strongly
recommended.
Work upon the James River Valley
road was completed Saturday, and the
first train run over the line Monday. 1t
was an exsursion train from jamestown
and ran through to La Moure. The new
road is forty miles in length, and runs
between the points mentioned. In the
very near future it will play an impor.
tant part in the railroad system of Da.
kota, as it will be the only north and
south road operating taranRh the cen
trail portion Of the territory. Next
s spring a connection will be made with
the Milwaukee Il st. Paul. This has
been definitely agreed upon. IT 10 not
known precisely where the junction
point will be, as the Milwaukee and st.
Paul is anxious to extend northeast
from Glendale, the present northern ter
minus of its Hastings II Dakota division,
and the James River Valley road from
La Moure southwest to Ellenaale. The
result will likely be a compromise, both
companies extending their lines until
they meet. The new road, for the pres
ent OF least, will practically be operated
us q branch of the Northern Pacific.
A Washington special says the
secretary Of war has Instructed Inspector
General Bard TO make a thorough ex-
animation OF all the circumstances con-
nected with the recent court martial at
the signal.service school, this order be-
ing based upon the complaint OF Gen
eral Bntterworth and MIR. Garnett, the
counsel who was SO rudely treated by
the officers. This Investigation, in the
opinion of the army officers, will result
IN o circus at the war department, and
some OF them go so far as to say that

peer acting the autocrat over there for
q long time and pitching onto every
body behind and before, without regard
to the consequences. This is the first
time an official investigation has been
ordered, and although General Hagen
says that he invites it the general opin-
ion is that he will get more than he
