BUILDING TRAIL TO DOUBLE CIRCLE RANCH.=Road Superintend-

CIRCLE RANcH.-Road Superintend- ent Await was in Clifton Sunday after spending the week in supervising the construction of a new trail between Metcalf and the Double Circle ranch. Work has been in progress there for about two weeks, and MT. Await estl- mates that the labor of eight men for two months will be necessary for the completion of the undertaking, which includes the construction of tweVe miles of new road, and the repair of about twenty miles of the present trail. The section of country trav- ersed is rugged and romantic in the extreme, it being found necessary to scale steep mountain walls that are
 thickly covered with timber. MT Await states that the new trail Will | have a grade that is much lower than
 that of the trail at present used, and that the distance will be shortened by
 several miles. An amount Of trafht
 masses over this trail that will easily justify the expenditure of construc ton.

THE RECREATION CONGRESS.

The Importance of the recreation congress
which begins it's sessions here this week locally
Is difficult to overestimate. Richmond, in adj
vance of many other cities in many other ways,
is behind in this. Its parks while beautiful and
comparing favorably with those of other cities in
number and In area are not utilized as they
should be- while its Fairgrounds are few and not
conducted according to the best methods
The congress is for the purpose of discussing
these things from a. national standpoint. The
best minds Of the country will be brought to bear
upon the solution Of the problems involved, and
the experienced workers for play along the right
lines will give the benefit of their experience and
of their thought In all this Richmond will share
She will learn much If she will follow the pro-
ceedings and accepting that which is available
and rejecting that which does not apply locally
will make an advance in the matter of recreation
facilities for her people and adequate Fairgrounds
for the coming citizens.
The delegates to the congress are welcomed
because OF themselves and because of the good
they may do Richmond.

MISTAKEN FEARS OF THE CENTENARY

OF all the cities of the country Richmond is the
one appropriate for grand celebration of the
hftieth anniversary Of the ending of the war be-
tween the people Of the North and the people OF
the South. both before and since that war fell
low citizens Of the same great republic. Rich
mond was the capital and the citadel of the
land where were dreaming of the new re-
public that men Of splendid vaor and high
aspirations created and strove heroicaly to main
tain. For the capture and the defense of Rich
mond armies were arrayed and many battles
were fought Richmond was the center about
which the bloody storm of ragged, the object
Of stern attack from all sides and of wonderful
defense Therefore, it is right that after fifty
years the armies of peace shall gather here,
honor the memories of the brave dead of both
sides and express the common purpose to main
tain the glory and increase the greatness Of the
restored and common country.
The celebration will not be Of the downfall Of
the Confederacy or the surrender Of Lees army
Nothing will be honored by it more than the
lost Confederacy. It's foundation principles were
not Lost and yet stand vindcated accepted and
predominant. It's men not lost. Their
names and deeds are frightened by the passing
of time and the opportunity to explore history
and to analyze records. Those who died left us
an endless heritage for the whole country Il story
OF valor and devotion. Those who survived have
won for themselves equal honor because In peace
they have achieved great victories. Their self
restraint, their manly submission to fate, their
conquest of hostile circumstance and adverse
conditions have brought to them the admiration
and confidence OF the world. 1t is because we
have maintained the peace and through these
fifty years have prosperity and advancement
and recovered our place In the country that we
of the South have the right to celebrate and to
congratulate ourselves. 1t is because those of
the Confederate armies who yet live and those
who we're dead proved themselves worthy foes
of strong that invite the world,
look 1t In the eyes frankly and offer loyal and
warm welcome. We have nothing of which to be
ashamed, nothing TO conceal, cause for dis
may or remnants of malice, and we can rejoice
with all on the long peace we have helped 20
strongly to make.
Other objections to the celebration as fan
ciful as those based on the assumption that we
viii be asked TO rejoice over the defeat of our
own people. We have received here and greeted
Northern people and former federal soldiers be-
fore now. We do not lack tact and sense in Rich
mond There is danger that will be re-
qaired to endure any humiltations or shocks
The negro soldier is not likely to come: If he
does come he be handled pleasantly and with

no reason why should abandon real pur-

never can happen, OF any detriment to Rich
monds invincihle self-respect

Inspection of the pitching records

years of prosperity in the strikeout
line were 1899 and 1901. Waddell was
the leader In 1900 and Beebe ranked
first during 1906, which was the last

The New York club has supplied the
strikeout king in seven of the last six
