VIRGINIA NEWS

In the Corporation Court of Fred
ericksburg yesterday, six persons in
dicted for violation of the proh;bi
ton laws were tried, and each case
resulted in compromise. The
charge was the bringing into the
State Of more than one quart of
liquor The men all pleaded guilty.
Two of the cases were ts,ed by
jury, and in each case the jury tailed
to agree. Commonwealth Attorney
William w. ButZner suggested a
compromise, and Frank NJ. Ch1ches-
ter, representing Prohibition Com
missioner Peters, accepted the sIg-
gess.on. The six men were fined
$50 and costs each, and the Jail sent
ence was omitted in each case
One of the questions which the
court will have to decide in the
receiversaip proceedings instituted
against the property of w. B. Pizzini,
the absconding real estate dealer,
of Richmond, will be as to the dispo-
sition to be made of the large amount
of liquor he is said to have stored
IN his home before November |.
Pizzini spent lavishly on all things
he desired, and it is expected, OF
course, that he was no less extrava-
giant in supplying himself with a
large and varied assortment of al
coholiic beverages The disposition
of the Pizzin; cellars contents will
be with the court, through under
the State prohibition law it may not
be given away or sold in Virginia
Application for receivership has
been made in the United States Dis
tact Court, and the Virginia Trust
Company has been appointed receiver
for Pizzini's personal property.
Mrs. Hessian Holm, 10 wears
old, said to have been the oldest
woman in the State, died Monday in
Pulaski county.
DR.. John c. Brubaker, for 40 years
a practicing physician of Page

by his widow and three children. For

NATIONAL GUARD CRITICS.


At the banquet given in this city
last week to the members OF the
Alexandria Light Infantry who re-
turned home that day from the
Texas border, Congressman Z. Z.
Carlin of this district, spoke COM
mandatory of the noble Young Amer
leans who had left this and other
cities at the call of their country
He dwelt especially upon the asper-
sions which had been thrown out
recently by regular army officers
ON the militia of the United States.
Mr.. Carlin ably refuted every asser-
ton or insinuation of these selt-con-
stituted critics, and proved conclu-
sively by his many references to the
history of the past that speedily
improvised soldiers must not be des-
pissed.
An interesting feature of the Five
O'clock Club dinner in Philadelphia
on Saturday evening was the liberal
roasting OF War Department red
tape and regular service methods by
Congressman Tillson, of Connecticut,
whose qualifications for this task
seem ample, inasmuch as he is Colo
mel Of the Second Connecticut Regi-
ment, which did duty on the Mexican
border, and is also a member of the
House Committee on Military At
fairs. From these two vantage points
he would seem to be as we'll fitted as
an officer of the General Staff to
pass dispassionate judgment upon
the defects of the mobilization Of
the National Guard. His opinion is
that the most tragic falling down
in this mobilization has been in the
regular army because of the adj
herence to outworn practices-a fault
that seems to cling to the methods
of professional soldiers throughout
the world.
The Record of that city in this
connection says:
There is an important significance
in the Congressman remarks because
they mark a growing irritation in
many quarters over the tone of COM
ments made by regular army officers
upon the National Guard. These are
distinctly unsympathetic and unnec-
essarily servere. They quite over
look the fact that the personnel of
the Guard is decidedly superior to
that of the regulars, and that due
consideration should be given to the
circumstances under which the mobi-
lization took place last June. This
was not a call to arms, for no one
seriously expected war W 18th Mexico
and was lacking as an appeal to pat
riotism, but Notwithstanding this
drawback the showing made was in
finitely more creditable than that OF
1898, at the outbreak of the Spanish
American war, or of any previous
war in which the United States has
participated. Most Of the Guardsmen
have returned in splendid shape, and
now form an important element of
defense for the country. If many de-
fects were revealed by the mobiliza-
ton some of these can be attributed
to the methods Of the regular army
officers, who failed to recognize, the
distinction between professional SOL
diering and patriotic volunteering.

MOVEMENT STARTED TO
BLAZE CUSTER'S TRAIL.

At the annual meeting of the Society
of Black Hills Pioneers, after the busi-
ness meeting of the organization had
concluded, the board of directors got to-
gether and discussed several matters
among them being the advisability of
marking the trail which General Custer
and his expedition made through the
Hills in 1875, and it was decided that
the matter should be taken up with the
commercial clubs of Custer and Penning-
ton counties and the Business club of
Deadwood, for the trail leads through
Lawrence, Custer and Pennington. 1t
is proposed to lay the matter before the
organizations mentioned and to ask
their assistance in blazing" the old
trail anew, for il can still be distinguish
ed by close observer travelling through
the woods. The trail began in the In.
yam Kara mountains, and struck the
Black Hills proper at the head Of Castle
creek, and from there it leads to Custer
Park, where the general made his camp
while he remained in the Hills. From
Custer Park the general made trips with
an escort to the Cheyenne river, and
then returned, and made another trip
from the camp to Harvey Peak, ascend
ing that great elevation. When the ex-
pedition broke camp at Custer Park IL
moved north, crossing Rapid creek near
Pactola, old Camp Crook. 1t then turn
ed north and camped for time on
Mountain Meadow. in the shadow of
Custer Peak. The route Of the expedi-
tion from Mountain Meadow was to the
southeast, it finally emerging on the
praires at the south OF Elk creek, and
from there proceeded to Bare Butte,
where It again went into camp near
Custer weekly chronicle. [volume] (Custer City, S.D.) 1890-1931, 1917-02-10

what is now the military reservation of
Fort Meade. From there the expedition
returned to Fort Lincoln, from where it
had originally started.
With the expedition at the lime was
James Halloran, of Lead, and DR.. Nc
Gillycuddy, former agent at Pine Ridge,
Captain St. Johns, of Bear Gulcb, fol-
lowed the trail shortly after the expedi-
tion had passed, and he and Mr.. Hal
loran possibly know more about it than
any other men now in the Hills.
1t is the intention of the Pioneers to
do something in the matter, aud they
will try and interest the organization
mentioned above in the work, and should
they not succeed in getting them to help
mark the trail, may take action them
selves. 1t is one of the historic trails OF
the west, and its making probably did
more to open the Hills to settlement
than anything else at that time, fol
there were those with it who did not
close their eyes to the richness of the
country, and they gave their knowledge
to the world.-PioneerTimes.

GRAZING FEES ANNOUNCED.

Denver, Feb. 6.-An increase of % per
cent. in the grazing fees on all National
Forests, instead Of 33I per cent. as was
originally contemplated, will be made
for the season of 1917, according to the
plan announced by Secretary Houston
today, through the local Forest head
quarters. Subsequent increases will be
based on study of the local conditions
on the individual Forests, and will vary
in accordance with the facts thus OBJ
tanned.
"rhe timber, grazing, water power
and other resources of the National For
ests which are used for commercial pur-
poses should be charged for at a rate
which represents their fair value, said
Secretary Houston. "If a charge only
sufficient to cover the cost Of admins.
tration were made, all of the profit from
the commercial use of the National For
ests would 90 to a comparatively few
individuals instead Of to all the people
w W iOui NAiOg OSlOhE anu VIII are en-
titled to share their benefits. The
charge for grazing. should be based upon
the real value of the forage on the Ma
tional Forest ranges, as determined 10y a
careful survey of all the facts and not by
competitive bids, as required in timber
| sales.
whether or not the fees charged al
present represent fair value Of the for
age is the question to be decided The
facts before me clearly indicate that the
present charge does not represent the
full value of grazing privileges on the
National Forests"
Modification of the original plan was
decided upon the Secretary said, because
of the possibility of variation in the
real value of grazing on different Forests
or in different localities, and because in
few instances the full proposed increase
might not be justified specific study
he stated, will be made of the existing
conditions upon each of the National
| Forests. Upon the basis of the facts
thus obtained, additional increases will
be made when the real value of the for
age upon any Forest is found to be more
than the amount charged No addition
al increase will be made before March
| lst, 1918.

"You did, eh?" snarled the lawyer,
quite losing his temper. Then he sat

hissed. "How do you expect me to win
this case when you make an admission

client.
"You have as good as confessed that

INDIANS PLACED ON THE
SAME STATUS AS WHIT ES.

Pierre, S. d., Feb. 3.-Indians who
have been given their citizenship rights
by the United States government find
that they have also taken on the same
limitations which apply to whites in
their dealing with their red brethren
who have not been conceded this right.
The Indian Commissioner holds that
they are barred from dealing in cattle
among the remaining Indians just as
much as would a white man under the
federal law, and that they are subject to
the same penalties for purchasing issue
cattle from brother red man as would
be white man in attempting to make
such purchase. This takes away from
them a source of profit which they could
rely upon as Indians, but which they
may not take up as citizens.

Commissioners Knight has received

sistant secretary of the interior has
signed an order directing tAe commits
sioner Of the general land office to
Immediately certify South Dakota forest

that the state will soon get title to the

Secretary Lane decided that under a
recent decision Of the supreme court he

LAND OFFICE STILL BUSY

The Rapid City Guide says, filings
under the section law are still being
made at the local land office, although
the extremely cold weather has had
some effect in dampening the ardor of
those who are forced to make long
drives in order to reach the office.
During the breathing spell the Office
force is taking occasion to catch up with
the work which was neglected during
the first rush after the passage of the
law, it being impossible to get the en-
tries on the pats and tract books as fast
as they came in.
No instructions as to procedure un-
der the new law have yet been re
ceived at the Office although it is un-
derstood that they have been issued at
Washington. According to the reports,
the irst copies were sent out last Thurs
day, and judging from this they should
soon be here. although the impaired
train service may have had some in
Auence in delaying them.
