MESA
cANrALouPEs RIPENINe FAST.

With the four cars sent out last night, the Mesa Melon Growers Asso- citation closed up the fourteenth car since shipping began, eight days ago. From now on, the shipments will probably run to eight or ten cars day if cars and ice can be obtained. The cantaloupes are ripening very fast these warm days. and. it keeps the growers busy getting them ready for market. Help has been very scarce and every man. boy. Indian or Mexican who can be hired is put to work. At a meeting held on the evening of the fifth by the Melon Growers Association, a resolu- ton was passed permitting the grow CTS to pay up to S2 per day for Indian laborers. By this resolution the grow CTS have been able to secure a large number of students from the Indian school to help during the cantaloupe season

HIS LOAD SHIFTED,

good many of the loads" ac- quired on the Fourth shifted, but they were different from the load which caused Fred Reese trouble. He had his wagon loaded with one of the big quarter circles for the government work at Roosevelt. It is a heavy piece of machinery and requires a long string of mules to draw it. He got along all right until beyond Govern ment Wells. when the circle shifted. threatening to upset the wagon. Fred could not handle it without help and the nearest help was in Mesa. There was nothing for him to do then but to tie up and ride back here for men to as- sist him. He left yesterday with sev- eral hombres and will, he hopes. now get through without further delay.

ton of President Roosevelt and
are advocating Washington and

''great representative educational
institution Of the South" where
should be established a permsnent
memorial to Gensral Lee. 1t lie
gratifying TO the management Of
Washington and Lee that such is
the case, aud the warm words of
endorsement With which these
papers discuss the matter can but
result in ultimate good to the Uni
versity.

Mistaken Sense of Class Honor
Among Cadets

The following was published In the
Richmond News Leader last Friday
from Adjutant- g eneral Charles j. An.
derson. who is a member Of the Board
of Visitors of the Virginia Military In
stitute by virtue OF his Office:
Il think the time has come when
cadets, neither Individually. nor as as a
class, can longer wilfully assault the
the constituted authorities OF the Vir-
ginia Military Institute. The pride Of
this school and the cornerstone OF it's
discipline and efficiency is obedience to
orders and truth, and both Of these are
violated after man subscribes, as all
cadets do, to the regulations and then
deliberately and without reason violates
them. The present third class, particu-
larry, had all of the experience and OBJ
servation of the folly of the last third
class when it worked SC much injustice
to the school and to the fair name of
the State which SUPPORTS it.
1.-THE board has held it's semi-annual
and has decided not to dismiss
this class, but to give it as severe pen
atty as we were able; to put ii upon
probation, and direct the superintend-
emit to dismiss any man, or men, upon
the slightest infraction OF the rules
or Of any others, There is
absolutely no justification, whatever.
In the silly action Of this class; but the
board found that a few ringleaders,
naturally deficient 10 study, and some
what in character, SO far as discipline
goes, has instigated this disregard OF
the regulations, and unfortunately were
tackled up by that mistaken sense Of
class honor which led them oil to stand
therefore, as we coald not
separate the technically guilty from the
we pursued the course as
above stated"

1t 10 to be hoped that the Board
Of Supervisors of Rockbridge will
see their way clear to make an ap-
preparation for an exhibit of Rock
bridge products and resources at
tho Jamestown Exposition. Other
counties, many Of them with less
resources and fewer attractions,
have made such appropriations.
1t would be a graceful thing in
Rockbridge, because the president
Of that enterprise is one Of her
boncred citizens, II for no other
reason.

THE ". N. I. THIRD CLASS

1t Ia gratifying to the many
friends Of the Virginia Military
Institute that the Board of Visi-
tors at their recent meeting liz Lex
ington found way of holding the
offending third class at the Insti-
trte and at the same time of i'm
posing penalties sufficiently drastic
to meet the demands of military
discipline. In view of the propos-
ed visit of the corps of cadets to
the jamestown Exposition, with
its attendant advertising value to
the world, the full corps will Ere
sent an impressive appearance,
whereas, with the loss of about
one.fourth of the enrolment
through tho dismissal of the third
class, the Impressions upon the
public Of the cadets would not
have been fair to the institution.
1t has been suggested that If
duties could be suspended at the
Institute during Christmas week
and the boys permitted to visit
their homes, most probably these
repeated outbreaks would be
obviated. The strict military life
of a cadet leaves him with very
few privileges, and during the
holiday season this psnt-up con.
dition often finds an outlet in the
breaking of restrictions, which
frequently in themselves are net
serious, except from violation of
regulations and the oaths of the
boys, who are pledged to implicit
obedience to constituted au-
thcrity.

Scribner's Subscription Methods

Scribner's Subscription Methods
One thing that gives Scribnets a
unique position among periodical pub
locations is the way in which It's sub
scription business is handled The
publishers of Scribner's have always
believed In maintaining prices, and they
have accomplished this with regard to
the subscription price OF their Maya
zine by placing every subscription
agent, every dealer, every news agent
who takes subscriptions, under contract
not to sell the Magazine for less than
$500 per year, and while they pay
commissions, they will not allow their
subscription price to be broken.
That this has been good policy for
Scribner's is evident, for In the face OF
q most remarkable rate-cutting cam.
paign on the part Of almost every pub
lication in the market, Scrlbner's has
gone steadily on making substantial
gains in its direct subscription bust
ness on a one-pI'lce and full-prlce
basis. The great advantage VI obtain
ing subscriptions in this way is that the
publishers keep them after they get
them. The subscription list is not
made up of bargain- II Is rather
in these days of extraor-
binary competition and cutting Of
rates which seems almost suicidal, to
find publication which Ia maintaining
not only its literary but It's business
standards and meeting with. big suc-
cess.

Fine Shape

Col. s. Brown Aliens Office in
Fine Shape
The Stanton Dispatch states that an
examiner of the department OF Justice
spent several months In that city in
vestigating the condition OF the Off ce
OF Col. s. Brown Allen, United States
marshal for the Western District OF
Virginia. There are fifty counties, just
half the State, In Marshal Aliens dis
trict, and he has, here and there, In the
territory comprising his division some
twenty-five deputies. In many Of these
counties. particularly in the mountain
section, violations OF the revenue laws
are OF frequent occurrence, especially
In respect to the Illicit manufs cture
and unlawful traffic In distilled spirits,
and 1t Is often both difficult and
dangerous to apprehend the outlaws,
because In many cases they have the
active sympathy Of the people around
them.
There are fourteen terms Of the
United States court held annually In
the marshal's district, where these
people, when arrested. may be tiled and
he is the disbursing officer of all these
courts, requiring quarterly the ex-
penditure Of large sums OF money. The
machinery of his office. therefore, is very
compile ated, and yet the result Of the
investigation, which has just closed,
places the western district of Virginia
among those which head the list.
Marshal Allen has made an Official
record OF which he may we'll be proud,
and the people are always ready to
give a faithful and efficient public |
servant due credit for painstaking and
buslness-like methods in the discharge
Of his official duty.

Why Baltimore Took Valley
X. X. Stock


After war worn veterans OF the Con-
federacy had laid down their arms and
folded their taitered banners, the one
wish of General Lees feart WAS to see
his stricken people enjoying the pros
perity with which they were blessed
before the war, says the Baltimore
Sun.
Shortly after he was chosen president
Of Washington College the great COM
mander came to Baltimore and asked
the people OF the city TO help Shenan
doah Valley by advancing money TO
build the Valley Railroad OF Virginia.
Southern sympathies were very
strong In Baltimore and the people OF
this city would have given General
Lee almost anything he wanted. Gen
ersl Lee died In 1870. but subsequently
q loan Of 81, OILS, 300 was authorized by
popular vote, and 10, 600 shares of stock
we're given as security. The loan was
redeemed from the general sinking fund
In 1885, after the city had paid $50, 900
a year interest on 1t for IA years.
The Baltimore and Ohio owns 81 ,704,.
700 in the stock Of this road, OF rather
roads, but this is carried on the books
of the company IS an unproductive
asset. Baltimore has q, 100000 which
it originally subscribed to the SO, 20O,-
600 Of capital. The remeining stock,
OF less than $500. 900, is owned by in
dividuals and some of the Virginia
counties which subscribed at the incep-
ton Of the enterprise.

FOR ROAD IMPROVEMENT

The Board Of Supervisors a,
their meeting Saturday took initial
steps looking to road improvement.
A committee was appointed to
correspond with the superintendent
of the State penitentiary in order
to aoertain il there are any avail
able convicts for this purpose. II
there are, it 10 to be hoped that
further steps will be taken In the
employment of a sufficient number
to make their work in Rockbridge
effective.
The plans adopted in some other
counties, notably in Bedford and
Amherst, have proven eminsntly
successful. The attention of tho
road people has been directed to
the construction of dirt roads,
but these have been made In
such . way as to prove salts
factory. The method followed lie
to got good grades and con-
struct the roadbed full in the
middle, with side drains, and where
necessary, underdrains. In this
way the damage resulting from
washing during rains is minimized,
and the wear and tear Of horse and
vehicle are obviated.
II thought practicable in Rock
bridge to construct some macadam
roads, the expenses Of the same
will be the minimum, for the
reason that all the rock needed can
be secured by the roadside, and no
doubt in many instances the neigh
boring farmers will be only TOO glad
to haul loose rock from their
fields for the purpose of road max
ing. This could be secured at very
small cost. and in many instances
Tor nothing.
