FAMOUS LITTLE TOWN

Richmond, Va, Dec. 26.-Saltville,
the scene of the Christmas eve flood
although little known to the world
outside it's Blue Ridge mountain
walls has played an important and
peculiar part in history.
It was S~altville that gave the
armies of the confederacy their chief
salt supply when that commodity
was at a premium in the blockaded
south. During the Revolution salt
from the Holston valley made the
scanty rations of Gen. William Camp
bells colonials more palatable. In
the markets of the south since the
discovery of the salt deposits in 1748
salt from the town has been sold.
First known to history as the salt
lick hunting grounds of the Indians,
the valley in which. S~altville is stu
ated was explored by a party of
Virginia colonists, to one of whom,
Charles Campbell, King George II of
England made a grant of the lower
valley. During the revolution the
salt deposits were owned and oper-
ated by Gen. Campbell, the hero of
the battle of Kings Mountain.
The properties saw the beginning
of their modern development during
the war between the states when
each southern state established a ket-
tie there and received the salt boiled
down from it's particular kettle. Fed
eral troops made numerous efforts
to capture the salt works and finally
under General Stoneman, stormed
the place and burned the furnaces
Since the war both salt and plaster
have been produced there.

That Weekly Gas
Attack BY the Pm

If it is true that the world loves Z
game loser the Producers News Of
Plentywood is not winning friends BIZ
it's weekly howl over the fate of the
Roosevelt County Independent, a pub
LEGATION that was closely allied with
the P. N. This topic has apparently
been given a regular department on
the editorial page where the same
old knocking tactics are rehashed
weekly.
On the other side of the story it
is worth mentioning that Wolf Point
is receiving many compliments even
from people not formerly overly
friendly, who congratulate the town
on so quickly and easily being rid of
a red menace.
The closing paragraph of the P.
Ms weekly poisonous potion shows
the inconsistency as well as the con-
summate modesty of the editor. 1t
says:
"Had the Independent been privi-
legged to make a living, there would
have been a different story to tell,
as it was gradually eating in and was
acknowledged as the best paper the
community had possessed"
Just notice, after painting the
town as black as possible the editor
faces about and admits that if the
citizens of Wolf Point had fallen
for their brand of propaganda there
would have been a different story"
to tell. It would have been the same
town, but a different story. Then it
says the Independent was gradually
eating in" Unless an effect similar
to that of a cancer is meant, this can
hardly mean anything but that the
Independent was gaining a f~oothold,
which is the very thing it complains
it could not get. In conclusion it
modestly acknowledges the indie
pendent as the best paper in the com
munity. Now we wouldn't spend any
1ime debating the question Of quality
we're it not for the established fact
that The Herald is exactly the same
dimensions as was the Independent,
namely 30x22 inches over the double
page, and therefore fitted the house
yives' pantry shelves exactly the
same. Besides that we know that at
least part of their paper stock was
the same quality and color as used
BY The Herald and we can still easily
turn to our records in proof Of this
fact.

REcLsTER IMMLGRANTs

Great Britain has a law that re-
quests that all aliens be registered.
IL William Joynson-Hicks, the new
home secretary announces that 272,-
coo are at present so registered. It
IS proposed to maintain a close super
vision of these aliens and if any are
found violating the law Of the land,
they are to be tried, and if convicted
are to be deported.
The British government has a
theory that alien people in the Brit
ish Isles must show that their pres
nee promotes the good Of the coun-
try, first, last and all the time. So
long as they behave themselves they
VIII not be interfered with, but law
breakers are to be persona 0 grata,
and are to be shipped to the country
from which they came.
The eminent wisdom of such a
policy is at once apparent. Aliens
in a nation are there only on suf-
france and when they become a So
cial nuisance and a public expense,
the reasonable thing is to withdraw
The privileges of residence and send
them away.
A bill is now before Congress
which provides for the registration
of all aliens, a requirement at once
reasonable and proper. Every citizen
is registered, why not aliens
Secretary of Labor Davis asserts
that many thousands of people get
into the country surreptitiously every
year. They are here in direct viola
ton of the law and have no right
within our borders. They are here as
the result of what he calls "immi-
grant bootlegging." Registration
would identify these persons and
enable officials to enforce our present
immigration laws.
1t is a notoriuos fact, also, thai
much of our crime is committed by
people of foreign birth, most of whom
are not citizens.
DR.. William J. Mayo, one of the
famous Mayo brothers, surgeons, OF
Rochester, Minnesota, is quoted as
"The native American of Anglo
Saxon blood is a water drinker by
nature. The bootleggers and traf-
fickers in illicit liquor are usually OF
continental European blood
If this is correct it is an additional
reason for demanding the registra-
ton of aliens.
VIZ may well follow the excellent
example of our British cousins and
say to the foreigners within our
Gates: every inhabitant of this coun-
try. whether a citizen or not, is un-
der obligation to obey the laws.
While You do so you are welcome to
the privileges of this nation, but
when you violate those laws, you
prove yourself unworthy Of this. op-
Dortunity, we do not want you here
and we shall send you back from
whence you came.
Such a law, drastically and impair

BURSTING OF DAM
TRAPS 20 VICTIMS
RESCUE WORKERS RECOVER 10
BODIES AT SALTVILLE,
VIRGINIA

Richmond, Va, Dec. 26.-Fou1
more bodies were found Friday in
the muck from the dam that broke
Wednesday night and flooded the
lower sections of Saltville, bringing
the known death list to Is. Seven
persons still are missing.
The bodies found Friday were
from 3 to 10 years. Three were from
one family.
Search Continued
The search for the bodies of those
missing, maintained by ~searchers
along lines of the P~olston's banks was
not affected by night fall. Darkness
however, greatly hampered efforts
to take from the river the remainders
Of its toll. 1t was said that some of
those unaccounted for may be buried
under tons of muck, or may have
been washed far down stream on the
crest of the flood. The body of Mrs.
Harry Prater, was found Thursday
in the river four miles from the site
Of the dam. Several other bodies were
recovered in Tumbling creek, six
miles away. It was feared that some
of those missing were buried beneath
tons of muck.
List of Dead
A list Of the dead issued Thursday
night included the following:
Mrs. Luther Clear and her son,
Charlie Clear; Opal Pauly; Mr.. and
Mrs. Harry Prater and their son,
Leslie Prater; Mr.. and Mrs. James
Prater and Major Scott.
Their bodies were recovered at
various distances from the scene of
the disaster while the rest were taken
from houses which had been mum
dated.
In an improvised hospital over a
drug store, 26 men, women and child
rem were said to be in danger of
pneumonia as a result of the INNER
sion Wednesday night in the icy
waters.
Some of them were said to be suf-
fering from severe irritation of the
eye, nose and throat, due to the con-
tact with the alkaline properties in
the muck water. A call had been is
sued, it was declared by those in
charge of the hospital for eye and
specialists to treat those burned
BY the alkali.
Without Warning
The flood which bore down at 10
o'clock upon the mill settlement nest
ling below the impounded waters
without warning and the vic
tims, trapped in their homes were
unable to escape. All the missing are
believed to have been swept into the
north fork of the Holston river. One
body, that of Mrs. Harry Prater, the
only identified dead, was found four

The Legion Grows

Recent reports from national headquarters of the Amcri-
can Legion indicate that the legion is obtaining unusual gains
in membership in all parts of the country.
This Is as it should be. More and more veterans of the
world conflict are realizing that only through organization can
the purposes for which they fought be accomplished in national
as well as international affairs.
The American Legion early took the leadership in point
of numbers of all other societies of war fighters because of
the sound principles embodied in its constitution and has re.
tanned this advantage through n record Of actual accomplish
ment in behalf of the nation as we'll as veterans during the
brief period of its existence.
To war fighters the legion offers the feeling of comradc.
ship, Of cheerful reunions with those who served together in
camp and on battlefield. Through its influence adequate relief
of disabled comrades has been achieved. The organization was
instrumental in obtaining adjustment of compensation of those
who fought to those who remained Mt home. Anticipa Ting n
critical situation that would otherwise arise in a few years, the
legion is now taking steps to provide for the orphans of fallen
heroes.
The legions membership is now almost one million. Its
rational conventions have been attended by as many as $4,000
persons who have represented its II, 900 posts in all parts of
the world. Legionnaires are climbing to posts of Importance
in government. business and professional affairs as the old
leaders die or fail to remain in contact with the moro modern
current or life.
The American people feel that this young organization is a
worthy successor TO the Grand Army of the Republic and Unit.
ed Confederate Veterans. for its principles are primarily those
of Amercanism and patriotism-a broad, unfettered type of
patriotism that would maintain fundamental American insti-
buttons unchanged except as TO their application to fit modern
economic and social conditions.
The legion is neither conservative, nor is it, liberal. Its
views are rather those of the avcrag &c doer of the worlds deeds,
a middle of the road course that eventually will make it the
most powerful organization i'll the land.
