ing is considered satisfactory.

Prof H. s. Graves Selected to
Succeed PinchOt.
ALBERT f. POTTER WILL Be ASSISTANT.


With His Assistant, Carry Out
The Policies or The Dismissed OF.
Administrations Made After A
Conference, Hurricdly Called, At
HE White House.
Washington, d. c. Especially An
nouncement was made at thu White
House that Henry s. Graves, dierctor
OF the Yale Forest School and for
two years assistant chief of the old
division of forestry under Clifford
Pinchot, has been selected by Presi-
dent Taft and Secretary of Agricul-
ture Wilson to succeed MIR. Pinchot
as chief OF the forestry service. AL
bert F. Potter, of Arizona. assistant
forester, will be appointed associate
forester. Mr.. Graves will take up
his new duties February 1 and Mr..
Potter will continue in charge mean
time.
The appointment of Mr.. Graves
came with surprising quickness. Ever
since the dismissal of Mr.. Pinchot
last week both the Preside:.t and Sec
retary Wilson have been represented
as being deeply concerned over the
selection of a suitable man.
The new forester and his associate
are both known as Pinchot men.
Both have served under Mr.. Pinchot
and both are in sympathy with his
policy of administration. 1t was
largely through Mr.. Pinchot's efforts
that the Yale forest school was es.
tablished, and Mr.. Graves went from
the post OF assistant chief of the
division of forestry under Mr.. Pin
chot to become director of the school
in 1900 He had served in the for
estry division for two years.

Ohio Valley Exposition.

Richmond. Va, April 2O.-Virginians
everywhere will be interested in the
Ohio Valley Exposition which will be
held in Cincinnati, August 20, to Sep
TENDER "a, inclusive. The Chesapeake
& Ohio Railway will have large exhi-
bits of agricultural, horticultural, in
dustrial and mineral wealth in Virgin
ia. The object of this exhibit, which
will be placed under the direction of
Mr.. G. B. Wall, Real Estate Agent OF
the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway, is to
attract settlers and investors to this
state and, in as much as the exhibit is
placed in section where great good
can come, it is expected that Virginia
will be largely benefited. The Chesa-
peake & Ohio, through Mr.. G. B. Wall
will see that all visitors to the exposi-
ton see that exhibit and will give them
an opportunity to learn of the many at
tractive advantages of settling in Vir-
ginia. Nothing has been done in many
years which will be of more interest to
prospective settlers and investors in
and around Ohio points to draw them
to Virginia.

THE GREENvILLE ROAD.

We desire to ask some questions with
regard to the Greenvilie road. In do
ing so we are not mere intermeddler,
but one who has subscribed toward it.
We ask in behalf of other subscribers
as well as ourself.
We would be glad if some one OF the
Supervisors, or other person knowing
the facts, and in position to reply,
would answer, because there is much
anxiety on the subject
We would like to know where pro-
file of this road can be found +?
Where one can see the specifications?
Who is in charge of the work as en-
gineer?
What authority does ne possess with
reference to changes of location =?
Who is to supervise the construc-
ton
How often is he to be there, and II
not to be constantly there, who is to
watch the construction /?
These points are unknown to the
subscribers and persons most deeply
interested, and enquiry has failed to
elicit them.
In subscribing to this road we thought
we were to get road of the CLASS OF
the Churchville road. If, however, the
road bed as now graded is to be a sam
pie of the road we are to get, we are
wholly disappointed, disheartened,
discouraged and disguised. The pro-
file of this road, as we see it by going
over it, is practically as it was before
any work was done, except in few
places where 1t has been made worse.
The road is full of says and bumps, and
in riding or driving rapidly over it will
to some extent, be like driving over
corduroy. There are reverse curves
left in it which no highway commits
sion or engineer should allow for a
moment, and if allowed should lead to
an end of his usefulness as such.
The writer of this article offered for
the mere cost of replacing his fencing
to let the road be changed through his
farm for some distance. We hear that
the offer has been turned down by
somebody in power. We state for the
benefit of the supervisors that the
change would be inexpensive, the road
would be greatly beautifed, the grade
at the summit lowered from ten to
twelve feet, and many other advanta-
ges gained. This change, except for
the fact that the road is to be perma-
nent and likely to become great ma
tional thoroughfare, could not be made
for 81, 900 in damages to the owner. Ii
correctly informed as to the fact that
the offer has been turned down, we
would like to know WHO turned il
down?
This is mere preliminary enquiry
| We hope some one will answer the
questions and thus give the people the
information they seek. In the mean
time we reserve further criticism.

THE WATER PROBLEM.
WHIT OTHERS THINK OF THE CoUN-
ellis ACTION.

WHAT OTHERS THINK OF THE COUN-
ellis ACTION.
The Clifton Forge Review of last
week says: We believe the councilmen
of Staunton made a mistake the other
day when they voted against the con-
sideration of the water problem facing
that city at the present time. If there
is one city in the entire State that needs
a larger and purer water supply that
city is Staunton. The people of that
city have voted for free stone water and
the base of supply is owned by Staun-
ton, but for reasons best known to the
councilmen, they are opposed to the
undertaking. 1t is our candid opinion
that the council could not make bet
ter investment than to improve the
quantity and the quality of water used
for domestic purposes. Under The
present plan vast sum of money i:
paid out for the pump house in the way
of coal bills, wages and repairs. With
the water piped to the city by gravity
these fixed charges would be wipet
away from the slate and all concerned
would be wonderfully benefited.

jury it they fail to return to the Office
of the clerk of the court, duly certifi i'd,

days. but the last Legislature passed q
bill cutting down the time to thirty
days.
A marriage is not legal until. proper
certification is made to the same by the
one who performs the ceremony, and il
is recorded of the courts.
The new law, which was approved
on February I6, 1910, provides that or
the first of February OF every year thu
clerk of the court shall furnish to Com
monwealth's attorney list of the mar
riage licenses which were issued during
the preceding year, which have no
been duly certified. The Common
wealth's attorney is then instructed t
summon such witness as he may SCI
fit before the grand jury for an investi
cation.
The penalty fixed is fine of from
$40 to $40 for each offense. Because o
complaints from different sections o
the State the new law was passed, it j
