Massac, in Illinois, the starting point
OF George Rogers Clark's wonderful
campaign which fixed the western
boundary of the United States at the
Mississippi instead of at the Ale
ghenies after the Revolution, is pro-
nounced undamaged by recent floods.
The long disputed site of Fort Creve
Occur in Illinois, built by LaSalle in
1851, has been officially fixed.
Fort Ticonderoga is at the point
where Lake Champlain receives the
outlet of Lake George. 1t was the one
supposedly invulnerable spot on the
waterway from the st. Lawrence to
the Hudson, "the Gateway of the
Great War Trail" Its history is
fascinating. 1t was here that Cham
plain found the Iroquois entrenched in
rude stockade in 1909. His firearms
won victory-and turned the IrOquois
Confederacy into the impacable foe
of the French, and made this country
English instead of French.
The French built the first fort in
1865. at the beginning of the French
and Indian War, and called it Fort
Carlton. In 1857 it was Montcalm's
headquarters. In 1858 Abercrombie
made his famous unsuccessful assault
In which the noted Black Watch regi-
ment, "whO could not go forward and
would not go back" was nearly wiped
out. In 1859 Amherst forced its
evacuation by the French.
In the Revolution it was taken, May
10. 1775. by Ethan Allen and his
"Green Mountain Boys" July 5. 1777,
1t surrendered to Burgoyne. 1t was
evacuated by the British in 1850 and
abandoned. Fire devastated it. The
settlers carried off its material for
their buildings. After peace, Gen. De-
Witt Clinton of New York decided its
site, containing 600 acres. to Columbia
and Union colleges. Finally the Pell
family of New York bought 1t and are
now restoring it, with the cooperation
of Col. Robert NJ. Thompson, father
c. Blossom, architect.

"Since it Is not possible for
the company in it's present
status to finance this plan, the
following Is proposed:
ITO organize the Richmond
Trackless Trolley Company.
with capital stock Of S15O,O0O
$4,000 OF 8 per cent pre-
ferred stock (preferred as to
both dividends and assets)
and $4,000 of common stock
1T Is proposed to offer the
preferred stock locally to in
vestors, and the officers of the
Virginia Railway and Power
Company are authorized to use
treasury assets to borrow
$4,000 with which to sub
scribe to the common stock OF
the Richmond Trackless Troll
ley Company.
The ability of the company
to make this loan and to in
terest local investors is, of
course. predicated upon the
Council taking the initiative
tn this important matter, and
to offer such a contract as will
secure the investment and in
sure an adequate return
thereon.
ut will be noted that this
offers a complete line of trans
portation from Ninth and
Grace Streets, westward
through the smooth paved
residential district where ade-
quate and reliable transporta-
ton is greatly needed. OF
course, this service will be ope-
rated as an independent line.
Since preparing the blueprint
we suggest as an alternative
for the Seventh and Franklin
loop around the City Hall.
Assuming that you can
offer contract which the Vir-
ginia Railway and Power
Company can use as a basis
for this loan, and on which the
public is willing to invest in
the preferred stock, the BUSES,
we understand, can be secured
in ninety days, and the over
head construction can be done
while the buses are being
constructed, so that no long
time should elapse after the
necessary and satisfactory &C
ton by the Council before the
service can be available to the
public"

ROUTE OUTLINED
nv PETITION To
CITY COUNCIL
Would Organize Company
and Offer F Preferred Stock
to Local Investors

Definite plans for the cstab-
lishment Of the trollihus sys-
tenn in Richmond were an
nounced today by officers OF
the Virginia Railway and
Power Company. The pro-
posed route for the trackless
line was outlined az follows:
Around the City Hail to
Ninth Street to Grace, west on
Grace to Shafer, west on Sha.
fer to Park Avenue, out Park
to Stuart Avenue, continuing
to Elm Street, on Elm to Ken
sington Avenue, extending on
KensingtOn to Roseneath
Road, up ROseneath ROnd to
Patterson Avenue, from Pat
terson Avenue to Tilden
Street, back to Kensington
Avenue and return.
The detailed plans for the
trackless line and a request
that the city take the initiative
in the move to establish the
system are set forth in a pc
tition presented by officials of
the street car company 70 the
City Council last night, which
follows:
ITO the City Council: 1t
having been demonstrated, we
believe to the satisfaction of
the public, that the trackless
trollibus furnishes an entirely
satisfactory means of trans
portation In smooth-paved dis
tricts, as evidenced by the ope-
ration of the bus in this city
for the period of a month, and
the comments Of approval Of
all the people who rode upon
it-this company deems it
proper to make every effort in
it's power to secure for this
community this means Of ex-
tending trolley service.
Eat recent meeting Of the
board of directors it was de-
cided to organize a Richmond
Trackless Trolley Company
and to at once set about put
ting in a line Of BUSES to ope
rate along the route suggested
in the blue print, which route,
of course, is subject to such
amendment as may be deemed
best. This route will require
ten (10) BUSES to operate on
hve-minute schedule and will
necessitate the purchase of
twelve (12) busses-two for
spares to insure continuity of
service. To accomplish this
will require an investment. of
approximately $4,000.

you will waken about $3.50 a. m, just when the first gray light of
dawn appears in the east. Rise up in your blankets and you win
hear such a chorus of bird music as we could hear each day in the
Belt City park some twenty-five years ago before the sparrows
came.
One variety of bird viii begin; a faint twittering here, an
answer there, another joins in the chorus, soon this concert is in
full blast. Then another kind of songster wakens, then another,
until there is such a mass of melody as only a thousand birds in a
thousand thickets can pour forth from a myriad of melodious
Threats. Gradually the light comes up in the east AS gradually
the program fades until the sleepy farm boy who gets up with the
sun is unconscious of what has gone before. These birds are gone
and the English sparrow has taken his place. That ~despicable
little mischief making scavenger whose song is usually an angry
chirp.
Many years ago the county authorities of an eastern state
placed a bounty of one cent a head for dead sparrows which caused
many a boy to dream dreams of riches far surprising those of
Rockerbilt when he had turned in the heads he was going to get
But reality dissipated these dreams of sudden wealth, for not one
bullet out of five brought down an elusive sparrow, and cartridges
cost money, 80 the movement failed TO exterminate and we are
facing the same problem.
The most successful method of Kidding communities of these
undesirables Is to await = snow deep enough TO cover up the ma
jority of the weed seeds and other ground feed, then place some
poisoned wheat on a platform or in a pan raised high enough to be
away from domestic fowls or children. The sparrows win soon
find this and a whole flock may be wiped out at once. Should
everyone in this vicinity exterminate that flock which makes it
self at home on his store, or his barn, or his dwelling, next year
those timid dweners of the trees, whose visits have been heralded
in the past by brilliant flashes of color darling from tree to tree
might once more investigate this locality and, finding it devoid of
enemies, might appropriate it again to their own use.

THREE ELEVENS.

On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh
month in the year 1918 the German army took up the march home
ward and the world war was over. 1t is almost hard to realize that
this took place four years ago last Saturday. Time which is said
to heal all discomforts and ailments, seems to work rather slowly
upon the ills which still affhct the world and which are directly
caused by the greed and arrogance of the defeated nations. 1t is
true that the outlook is now far better than it was a year ago, but
there is still room for improvement in various directions. In
Europe today ugly war clouds still continue to hang over large
areas, and if we take the dispatches seriously, are liable to develop
into calamitous storm at any time. However, so far it has been
pretty much of a threat, only in limited sections.
America is far in the lead in reconstruction and the return to
sanity and common sense. We are getting back on the job with the
realization that increased production in every line is the true and
only way to cure the effects of war. We have had our sick spell
and are now convalescing and in fact beginning to feel quite pert.
To those whose business it is to keep a close tab on the trend of
things it has become noticeable that the days of great fluctuations
in the prices of commodities seem to be over. Even in the past
few weeks there has been a swing upward in the prices of all farm
products, without the too usual corresponding raise in the things
the farmer has to buy, indicating the nearness to a properly ad-
justed balance. This is the thing that we have been looking for
since the day the armistice went into effect. 1t is evidence
that we are getting the better of conditions gradually but surely.
However much we decry. vr and it's accompanying disrup-
of established things, it has the habit of enforcing some very
lessons. In the exalted frenzy of patriotism that we all
during the struggle, we forget that the heights of en-
thusiasm are bound to be followed by the depths of inertia, for
nature herself always demands a perfect balance. Both periods
now been experienced, America has kept aloof from entang-
ling mix-ups with other nations and is now hitting the ball toward
normally, with everything in her favor. We had a large part in
bringing the world out of the depths of destruction from which
hat day gaines. its significance.

INTOLERABLE NUISANCE.

Some years ago some misguided enthusiast introduced the
English sparrow into the United States under the mistaken idea
that the sparrow would soon place some of the insect pests of the
country in the classification extinct"
But after some fifty years of existence in the United States
the English sparrow has failed to exterminate anything in the
line of insect parasites, combining his activities to the most thickly
settled portions of the country, where he has done his best to ex-
terminate everything else in the nature of bird life.
Where in the Belt Valley, before the sparrow had migrated to
these sections, the woods along Belt creek harbored unknown
quantities of song birds, bluebirds, robins, wrens, orioles, warb-
lers, now the sparrow has usurped their habitat so thoroughly that

MAKING THE GRADE.

Enquiry at the local elevators and mines brings the informa-
ton that the railroad situation is improved considerably over con-
dftions of a month ago. Cars for the shipment of coal and wheat
are coming in now sufficient in quantity to keep things moving
although the elevators are pretty well filled yet and the incoming
grain uses most of the available rolling stock. On the whole the
local situation appears good and with a good chance of improving
According to a recent issue of the Railway Age, the railroads
of the country are getting back to normal in the increase of rolling
stock, there having been more orders placed in the early part of
1922 for new equipment than during all of the year 1921. The
result of these orders is already apparent on many roads while new
orders are reported placed by many western roads for delivery
early next year. Further encouragement is given by VIM. 2. Rip
ley, professor of transportation at Harvard and author of the
Ripley plan of consolidation" designed to do away with wasteful
competition in fields where there are more transportation lines
than there is business for. Prof. Ripley thinks that the early
completion of the physical valuation of the roads, which amounts
to taking stock for the purpose of comparing the actual value
of the roads with their outstanding securities. 1t will form a basis
from which to compute the reasonableness of rate schedules, and
also disclose, in a measure at least, the amount of water" in the
securities.
At any rate, regardless of the fact that not a great deal was
expected from the railroads in the way of recovery for many years
after the bad postwar period, they seem to be getting away with
the job in pretty good shape.
