COLONEL Mills, superintendent of
West Point Military academy, has is
sued an order in which cadets are al
lowed to smoke pipes. The thing is
probably without precedent in The
history of frst-class military schools,
and certainly the like was never
known at West Point before. But the
idea is a good one. Boys will certainly
smoke if they desire and no amount Of
punishment will prevent them. so 1t Is
proposed to remove all restrictions from
pipe smoking. Cigarettes are to re-
main under the ban. and In fact the
punishment against cigarettes smoking
is to be made more stringent. Cigars
are also prohibited; but the boys are
allowed to smoke pipes in barracks
and on the premises of the academy
generally without restriction.

A NUMBER of newspapers continue to
howl for action on the Fishing creek
wreck by the grand jury. 1t would be
interesting if some Of these papers
would just specify what the grand jury
is able to do about the matter. We
have a grand jury that is not afraid to
do it's duty; but our contemporaries
will do we'll not to lose sight Of the
fact that powers of this body are neith-

year or more.
He said reports he had received dur
ing his tour of inspection were very
encouraging. more so in Pittsburg than
in any other section. While he had
been acquainted In a manner with the
resources of this territory. he now be-
gins to realize that they were greater
than he had ever known. Talks he
had with manufacturers. especially
those In the coal, coke and steel indus
tries. led him to believe 1t will require
several years before the demand for
improvements and extensions ceases.
Continuing. he said: Il can not
agree with financiers who believe that
the nation has reached its zenith OF
prosperity. There is much work to
be done and II Is only by travelling
over the country that the enormous
undertakings which. together with the
smaller ones that must necessarily be
overlooked. impress one with the mag

counts OF the death of Loreto Villa, a
noted Yaqui chieftain. which occurred
as result Of gradual decline from
many wounds received In warfare, at
Ietiacombate, on the Yaqui river, upon

render OF the Yaquis and treaty at Or
liz In 1897, Villa was the third In rank
among the Yaquis. He accepted the
amnesty there granted and lived faith
tully to Its provisions. When the dis
anected among their number arose In
1899, killing their head chief, Tetibiate,
VINO also stood for the observance of
the treaty. Loreto Villa, with a band
OF 200 followers, took the field against
his rebellious fellow tribesmen, and has
done most effective service ever since.
