Tuesday evening the Fifth company. c. A. C., held it's weekly drill at the armory with a good sized attendance. Following the hour and a quarters work on the floor, a number got in considerable practice at the rifle range, while others took part in the opening of the indoor baseball season. At the meeting a week ago it was voted to secure an indoor baseball outfit. This 1 outfit arrived on Tuesday and was given a trial in the evening. The bases were placed and the opening practice for the season was started, with indi- cations of proving pleasing diversion and one which will alternate well with basketball.
 The pendant on the bronze shield of the company which was won through the figure of merit for the target sea- son of 1909 has not as yet been sent away, but it will be for the placing thereon the name of the company and the figure of merit which won the shield.
 The local coast artillerymen are in- terested in the fact that officers of the coast artillery of the regular army are renewing their efforts to have their corps made an independent or ganization. There is, says the New York Sun, one element which is detri- mental to coast $ pTOptT Qe- velopment, and it's full efficiency, espe- cially in time of war, and that is the present method of administration of artillery troops, which, in the words of the chief of coast artillery in his an- nua1 report, makes for inefficiency in time of peace and which falls by it's own weight in time of war, when it is vital that every system shall be at it's best"
 The coast artillery in all countries but our own is an organization entire ly apart from the field army. Tactical ly and strategically it is in no sense a part of the mobile army, and yet with us it is still combined with the, other arms of the service (infantry, cavalry and field artillery) in territorial de- partments, commanded as a rule by officers (derived, as they generally are, from the infantry or cavalry), of no experience or training in coast artillery matters, and who at the outbreak of hostilities would invariably leave those departments to accept commands in the field army in which their interest and inclination naturally lie and whither the mobile troops of these de- partments would also naturally go, thus leaving the coast defenses to some temporary makeshift Organization and administration so far as the higher

Spokane, Wash, Dec. 3.-John
Pancer, one of the leaders of the In
dustrial Workers of the World, con-
victed of conspiracy, was sentenced
yesterday to six months in jail at
hard labor. Evidence was introduc-
ed showing that Pancer had come to
this city to fight the ordinance regu-
lating street speaking and that he had
sent out kilograms to nearby towns
calling for men to fill the jails in
Spokane"
Pancer appealed from the sentence,
his bond being fixed at $4,000.

.BALL|NGER IS RIGHT
ADMITS HOSTILE
NEWSPAPER
Especial to The Sentinel. /


Washington. Dec. 3.-The Wash
sive critic of Secretary Ballinger. yes
terday announces that Attorney Gen
eral Wickersham has decided, after
detailed study of all records involy-
ing the charges concerning Secretary
Ballingers administration of the. in
terror department. that he is V'itled
to be upheld at every point and that
the verdict as between Pinchot and
Ballinger Is therefore finally nr con-
clusively in favor Of Ballinge..
The Times says: 1T has been
generally known for weeks that the
presidents cabinet has advised him
to ask Forester Pinchot's resigna-
ton, but it was evident that the bit
ter attacks upon Ballinger by the
Eastern press were being instigated
and aided by Pinchot and his sub
ordinates in the forest service. To
this advice the president has not
yielded and on the contrary has in
timated to Pinchot that he would be
pleased to have him stay in his pres
ent position"
Whether the report of Attorney
General Wickersham will change the
attitude of the president toward con-.
tinuing Pinchot in the public service
is matter of much conjecture. but 1t
is believed the president will not
force him to resign and that if he
quits the forest service, 1t will be of
his own violition. Forester Pinchot
is in New York City.

Washington, Dec. 3.-Governor
Shafroth of Colorado. who is in
Washington in the interest of clients
who are endeavoring to retain title to
lands in the Grand valley, expressed
considerable interest today in the re-
port of the Interior department of
justice that they were considering the
advisability of instituting suit against
the state of Colorado for the price of
lands alleged to have been acquired
by 1t in contravention of the statute
requiring them to be nonmineral in
character.
"A great many of the lands granted
to the state by the government were
taken fifteen years ago." said the
governor. AT that time most of
them were far from any railroad and
were reported by the government
agents to be fit only for farming pur-
poses.
Goal may have been found on
some of these tracts, buzz do not be-
lieve the state is holding any large
amount of lands thus acquired If
such happens to be the case | am
sure the state has been innocent of
any wrongful acquisition; in fact,
recall that very many of the so-called
lieu lands which the state was Ie-
quired to accept. when formerly al
loted sections had to be relinquished
because of their falling in forest re-
serves and Indian reservations. were
considered to be almost worthless at
the time they were granted. The gov
ernment duly exempted such land as
showed coal groupings"
Governor Shafroth expressed the
belief that the government would not
follow the recommendations made by
the land agents that suits be brought
against the state.
Former Senator Teller is also of the
op-.lon that the government will rec
ognlze the innocence of Colorado's Of
ficiafs in connection with the mineral
land allegation. He believes that all
lands granted to the state, after due
reports that they were nonmineral,
