Neternns of the Spanish VAR

The Secretary of War has approved an
opinion of Judge Advocate General Lieber
that the provisions of the act of Congress
passed several years ago authorizing cor
rection of the records Of officers and SOL
diers who served during the war of the re-
bellion do not apply to cases arising dur
ing the Spanish war.
Recently private of volunteers, who
served in the war with Spain. who had
been given dishonOrable discharge on a
charge of desertion. applied for the re-
m"Nai OF the accusation, and asked for an
honorable discharge. In passing on the
application Gen Lieber said:
Il do not think that ii can be too posi-
lively declared that it is absolutely uuau-
thoriZed to tamper with records in this
way lie points out that there is no au-
thority from Congress for the correction
of these records, and that until Congress
gives such authority no record of soldiers
or officers who served in the war with
Spain can be corrected by the War De-

He was at West Point Military Academy

whereupon he entered Eastman's. He is
very nearsighted, but has stuck to his

would appear that if they had the use of
this engine it was temporary. Proposals
were called for by Mayor James H. Blake
for a fire engine for the Union company
Of the second ward, and the bids were
opened at his office opposite the theater
tCarusis, now kerEan'S 81, February 2S, 1914
On June 80 a meeting of the company
was called at Keowins Hotel fo-mnrly
Davis, now Metropolitan, to appoint a
committee to receive the engine made for
that ward, and also to meet the following
Saturday with their buckets for exercise at
the Center market.
August 1S following Mr. Acfman gave
notice that his new patent fire engine would
be tried the following Saturday afternoon
This being but one day before the arrival
of the British, the trial was doubtless post
poned.
Toward the end Of the year 1914 the ex-
citement caused by the destruction of the
Capitol had subsidized, and the community
had resumed its normal condition. The
subject of reorganizing the fire companies
again came to the front A card of George
Moor, thanking his fellow citizens for say
ing his house from destruction December
%, appeared in the Intelligencer of Decem-
Der %, and this fire was in all probability
an incentive to the reorganization of the
companies disbanded by the war, numbers
of the old tiremen having taken to military
service. At any rate, on December p, 1911
Mayor Blake called meeting of the citi-
Zens of the second ward at the council
chamber on the following Saturday to or
ganize a fire company, and notified citizens
that the fire buckets would be examined
and deinquentS fined.

NOW IN GALL fORNIA
RELIEF OF PRESIDENTIAL PARTY
IN LEAVING THE DESERT.
Land That Has Been Reclaimed by Ir-
risatiOn-The Ancient City
of Tucson.


REDLANDS, Cal, May 8, 1901.
Out of the great southwestern desert into
the green fields and lovely valleys of Cali
fornia was transition which the presden
tial party had longed for before the time
arrived. Nearly four days the party has
spent in this desert, with little scenery
other than the desolate and treeless plains,
the bare. high mountains and peaks, ever
rising out of the ground like frowning, ugly
monsters. No signs of life upon them or
around them, no man. no beast, no bird.
The scrubby, stunted trees apparently had
to give an excuse for living, as they were
burned and scorched, here and there only
being fresh bit of green hid away under
a dead piece of foliage. On the plains
were spots of green where man had detied
nature and had turned the waters of
passing river upon mis- ground. But these
places were in spots indeed, comparing the
ground under cultivation with that devoid
of life. Man is struggling hard to over
come these unfavorable conditions and
every day IS opening more ground to culti-
walton and growing more cattle in this re-
gion. 1t is all accomplished by means of
irrigation. AT first sight the farmer in the
east or south would say that the ground
could not be made TO grow a hardy grass,
even with water artficially put upon the
ground. In the rainy season, when there is
one, the plains and foothills turn green
with surprising readiness and the cattle
grow fat on the juicy grasses. but this sea-
son is all too short and the periods infre-
quent. They cannot be depended upon, and
frequently are so far apart that the ranch
men have to drive the cattle many miles
away or ship them by rail to escape com
plete loss.
Irrigation Necessary.
AhOut all the soil nf Arizona
portion of southwestern Texas, New Mex
leo, Mexico and into California requires
irrigation. The soil is porous and the
infrequent rains soak through so quick
ly to be of little good. In that re-
gion a man turns the water and
pocket book. 1t costs to get this water,
ton companies. The canal companies build
dams and thence the water is conducted by
lateral canals and bitches to farmers and
ca ttlemen for hundreds of miles around.
All the farmer has to do is to raise the
head gate of his ditch and let the water on
his ground. The water spreads evenly over
the ground which Is partially submerged
several times d week. Water rights cost
about SO an acre. and after the right has
been purchased the tax is about Sl2l an
acre each year. Where irrigating bitches
are not employed the farmers put up wind
mills and pump the water for cattle or
farm. AS many as 10000 head of cattle
are watered by this means. when there is
not wind enough to pump the water the
large ranchers put a little engine to work,

Our Nominees.

In speaking of the different gentle
men nominated for the constitutional
convention, the Richmond Times of
Sunday has the following about Au
gusta's nominees: "rhe people OF Au
gusta and the city of Staunton have
put forward two strong men for the
convention, in the persons of eXCOn-
gresham Julian Minor Quarles and
Mr.. Allen Caperton Braxton. Judge
Quarles is the very highest type of a
Virginia gentleman, and is a lawyer of
fine ability. He is widely popular
throughout the Tenth District, which
he very ably represented in the Fifty
sixth Congress and his friends, who
regretted to lose his services in the
National Legislature, will be proud
that his home people have imposed
upon him such sacred and honorable
trust, when indeed, he did not seek IL
at their hands.
Mr.. BraXtOn was born in King viii
liam county, but removed to Staunton
a number of years ago. The people of
the Valley City were uick to recognize
his splendid ability as a lawyer and
made him their Commonwealth g At
torney. The interests of the old en-
pire county have been placed in safe
hands and will be carefully looked af.
ter in the convention"
The Greenbrier Independent also
says: "Ex Congressman j. M. Quarles
and A. CapertOn Braxton have seen
at Democratic primary
election, held III Augusta, and will
represent that great county in the |
Virginia Constitutional Convention.
Mr.. Braxton is a grandson of the late
Senator Allen L. Caperton, and is re-
garded as one Of the brightest young
lawyers in Virginia"
