City Farm ut Last Assured

D ICHMOND made long step forward when
IN the Council Finance Committee approved
the plan to sell Pine Camp and authorized
the Administrative Board to select site for
city farm. The committees action Is final
to all ntents and purposes. for the &C
quiescence Of Council is regarded as assured.
1t is to be assumed that Pine Camp will
not actually be sold until the property can
be disposed of on favorable terms, but there
should be no real difficulty in finding a pur-
chaser. Adjoining Ginter Park, and pos

a beautiful suburban development. That 1t
should be so transformed is to Richmond's
obvious advantage, for the taxes will supply
grateful addition to the municipal income
In it's present condition and applied to its
present purpose, Pine Camp has hampered
and thwarted the natural growth OF the city
But there are considerations far more
potent that buttress the determination to
establish a city farm-consideration of
charity. benevolence and human kindness as

John -. Mostly

John S. MOSBY, who died in a Washingt on
j hospltal yesterday. won more deserved re-
nown in the War Between the States than
any subordinate cavalry leader on either side.
The chief element In his equipment, that made
him the beloved of his friends and the terror
of his enemies. was daring that had no
qualification whatever. hut with it he pos
sessed and displayed military skill of a high
order.
He and his men knew every road and

operated. He and they were here, there and
everywhere. To surprise the foe was
commonplace Of his daily life-a fixed essen

with price on his head, but a song in his
heart and on his lips he descended from the
sky dealt smashing blow-and was gone

respects far ahead OF his time He perceived
that the saber was Anticipated weapon

the destruction
How much damage Mosby and his few hun

On the money basis it ran into many millions

POStOfice May Move
To New Location

The government is asking for
bids for postotfice room for a
five or ten year lease, and several
owners of vacant buildings are al
ready on the alert. The lease on
pesent quarters expires Jan. IA,
1917, and the government is giving
the usual notice of its intention to
renew the lease on the present
quarters or secure new location.
What Uncle Sam wants is compe-
tition at the expiration of each 10
year period SO he can secure the
most favorable terms. The owner
is required to equip the room with
all necessary furniture according to
government specifications even to
providing tables, chairs, clock, let
ter cases, boxes. baskets, sign, and
in fact everything required for the
conduct of the business.
While the government calls for
five or ten year lease, it is the
almost invariable rule to consider
it as safe ten year proposition
The price paid for the present
quarters is $50 per month, which,
by the way, includes not only the
required amount of daylight. but
electric light as well, and heat and
water, and even water-cooler so
the hard working clerks may par
take occasionally of cool draught
of ice water. Ice, however, is not
furnished by the owner of the
building.
Several locations have been sug-
gested including one of Albert
Halls choice rooms, the Wilkins
building recently vacated by the,
Angelus dining room, the building
recently vacated by j. j. Sherwin,
the Patten building next to Vein
berger's, Mr.. Regenitters building
and others.
But, after all, when the owner
considers that he must invest from
$500 to $1,000 for equipment and
must charge a rental that will re-
turn this investment, it is possible
that Uncle Sam will continue to
rent from Mrs. Mary Trathen for
another term.

Drunken BraWl Almost
Ends In Murder

A whiskey party which convened
at the cabin of old Peter Roberts
on Soda creek, outside the city
limits, came near having u fatal
ending last Sunday. Pete was 80
badly cut in the head with an axe
that it was feared for a time he
would not recover. The partici-
pants in the affray were Frank
Ennis, Andrew Marco, Ben Twiz-
elton, Joe Corners, Jack Edwards
and Peter Roberts.
Marco, who is a mining man at
Silver Plume, arrived at Roberts
cabin Sunday morning and his
nephew Frank Ennis accompanied
him. Soon Joe Conners appeared
on the scene to pay a sick-calF to
ithes old man, and the others ,caq6
with him to enjoy the hospitality
of the genial Pete and to drink
from his whiskey bottle. After
three or four rounds of drinks,
arguments and cuss words brought
forth blows. Soon came the forci-
