CRITICISM OF RAILROAD RATE

St Louis, where Saturday ne expects to

General Corbin,, in a report to the mill

tributes his dsapproval of the legislative
prohibition against the sale of beer and
light wines in the post exchanges.
Officers Not In 1t.
He also calls attention to the fact that
enlisted men enjoy the right to deposit
their savings with army paymasters and
that congress annually appropriates
money to pay interest ON these. The
courtesy has not been extended to Off
GERS, but General Corbin says the dis
elimination should be terminated espe-
cially where il affects officers serving in
the Philippines and Alaska.
lie also recommends "a proper allow
ance of fuel for heating and cooking pur-
poses and that gas and electric light
when furnished a post should be pro-
Vlded for the officers quarters the same
as the barracks.
FaVors High Rank.
He recommends the retention Of the
grade Of Lieutenant general and the be-
stowal of this grade upon ali corps COM
-
Re-enistment in the army should not
be encouraged i'm time of peace, according
to General Corbin, except i'm special cases.
His argument is to add to ''Our military
strength by training a number of men
by three years enlistment and then haV-
ing them return TO civil life. ready at
any time of their active manhood for
service I'm war"
He also recommends that article IS of
the articles Of war be revised to provide
that any officer found drunk shall be
dismissed from the service. The article
now provides that dismissal shall follow
the finding Of an officer drunk on duty
Inefficient System.
The present system of athletic exercise
he declared. promotes championship feats
by few but does not aid the OrganiZa-
ton as a whole He says it would be
much better If by general systematic
training the whole organization could
double time for a mile and arrive ready
and able To put up fight.
The anti-pass provision of the railroad
rate bill is also criticised by General Cor
bin. He says that the legislation has
worked a hardship upon many officers
and enlisted men by doing away with
the privilege of half rates for their fami-
lies and half rates to themselves when
on leave OF absence.

Anniversary Of Custer Massacre.

BUTTE, June 25.-Thirty years ago
today, on the banks Of the Little Big
Horn in southeastern Montana, &C.
Cured the Custer massacre, when Cen
eral George A. Custer and his COM
mand of the Seventh cavalry were
killed to a nan by the Sioux Indians.
The news of the battle was q week in
reaching the world. Former United
States Senator Lee Mantle, was at
that time the telegraph operator at
Pleasant Valley, neat what is now the
town of MOnida, on the Short Line,
and it was he who SEM the message
that conveyed to the var department
in Washington, and to the public in
all parts of the United States, the
news of the massacre Of Custer and his
band.
The tidings were carried from the
battlefield to Helena by carrier, the
intention being to place the news on
the telegraph wire At that place. The
wires were down, however, and it was
impossible to get communication, 50
the messages were sent to Pleasant
Valley by express messenger. There
was at that time but few cabins where
Butte now stands. the principal settle
meut in this section being at Deer
Lodge.
The news reached here on the ar
rival OF the messenger on his way
from Helena to Pleasant Valley, and
though that was a time when murders
by both whites and Indians were a
common occurrence, the report tina,
Custer and his entire command had
been killed was received with conster.
nation by the hardy men who were
used to protecting their lives and
property with the rifle.
From Pleasant Valley the news OF
the terrible event was disseminated
throughout the United States, and the
fact that it had occurred a week before
the late of the first telegraph message
made it appear all the more horrible
to The residents OF the country. The
telegraph line which penetrated Mon.
tana at that time came from Salt Lake
and ran into Virginia City and Deer
Lodge on its way to Helena.

To Assist Milk River Project.

Hon. I. NJ. Everett, of Harlem, and
John Willis, of Glasgow, who were
delegated by the Milk River Irriga.
ton association to represent the in.
terests of its members in Washington,
left for that city Sunday morning.
The main purpose of their trip Is to
urge upon the federal authorities the
desirability OF better progress upon
the Milk river project. The project
has been under consideration ever
since the enactment of the reclamation
law in June, 1902, and so far as known
there has not been q cubic yard of
dirt removed up to the present time.
Fifteen months ago it was announced
that a million dollars had been set
apart for this undertaking. but so far
as actual construction work is con.
cerned there has been practically
nothing done.
In order that immediate benefit may
be derived by settlers affected by the
Milk river project. Messrs. Everett,
and Willis will submit a meritorious
proposition to the federal authorities,
They will propose that work be com
menced as soon as possible upon thret
diversion dams-one near the Chair
lakes, one below Chinook and one a
Dodson-by which the natural flow O
Milk river in the flood season may b.
stored and utilized. These dams foru
part OF the plans by which the water.
from St. Mary's will irrigate the Mill
river valley, and their immediate con
struction will not interfere with tn
purpose for which they were originsll
intended.
The suggestion that will be made t
the federal authorities appears to b
reasonable aud just. and merits favor

Promises To BE Active.

The close of a successful iambing
season in northern Montana is being
followed by signs Of activity in sheep
trading circles. There appears to be
quite a demand for all kinds of stock
at most attractive figures, but the ex.
cellent condition Of the range and
their ability to handle most of the
stock on hand make the %sheepmen
somewhat reluctant TO par. with their
