~ VIRGINIA WELCOMES *.. solitude to presidents lies . en are entitled to be alone and PRESIDENT HOOVER TO ‘OLD DOMINION State Which Broke From Demo- cratic Ranks for First Time Since War Is Host GREETED BY GOVERNOR Chief Executive Explains Why He Fishes; Must Be Alone to Think Clearly Madison, Va., Aug. 17.—()—Pres- {dent Hoover was formally welcomed today on the soil of Virginia by the citizens of this little mountain com- munity near his Rapidan river fish- ing camp .and in a brief speech in reply explained why he considered angling a happy pastime for the chief executive of a powerful nation. Besides the welcome from those in whose neighborhood the president has selected a week-end abode, Mr. Hoover formally was erected by Gov. Harry F. Byrd, a Democrat, in behalf of the state which for the first time since the Civil War broke way from the Democratic party to give him its electoral vote last November. | Madison, Va., Aug. 17.—(#)—The text of President Hoover's speech fol- | lows: Both Mrs. Hoover and I feel great- ly honored by the generous reception you have extended us today. It is a welcome as one of your neighbors, and it is as a neighbor that I partici- pate with you. In the carly years of our republic, Virginia was the home of presidents and it would seem appropriate that with the changing years, the pres- ident should at least have a week-end i camp in Virginia. There are other sound reasons why such a connection should be maintained between the presidents and Virginia. The fact is that those strong Virginians who se- lected their occupational capital were apparently impervious to heat and humidity or at least they were un- aware of how much pavements and modern buildings can contribute to raise the temperature. But Virginia herself now offers the antidote in the wonderful mountains which you have dedicated to a national park and the access to it that you have provided by your newly improved roads. No Bells Ring I have discovered that even the work of government can be improved by leisurely discussions of its prob- lems out under the trees where no bells ring or callers jar one’s thoughts from the channels of urbanity. You have demonstrated yourselves good hosts and good neighbors with that fine courtesy for which Virginia is known to the whole nation. I often think the test of good neighbors is whether one can always be sure when the family meets an emergency it can cheerfully borrow # half dozen eggs or a few extra dishes. In this emerg- ency you have proved this sentiment of neighborliness by lending me a part of your park, by improving a road, by securing the fighting rights on a beautiful mountain stream and even providing me with fishing tackle. I, on my side, am glad to lend my services as @ good neighbor to you by acting as a sort or sign post to the War Veteran Charged ver, Benedict, an army during the World war and wounded and gased several times, is in the county jail here on a charge of nonsupport of his family.

GRASS FIRE PERILS FORT POWDER HOUSE Battalion Turns Out With Sacks and Gas-Power Engine and Halts Blaze The Fort Lincoln battalion fought @ prairie fire there, Friday afternoon. The flames were in the dried grass along the roadway into the parade grounds and evidently were caused by a lighted cigaret butt carelessly tossed into the dry herbage. They broke out about 3 o'clock. The blaze worked its way in the direction of the powder magazine and every man in the four companies was turned out by Colonel W. A. Alfonte to head off-the menace. The flames were fought with sacks and with a water engine operated by gasoline power. The soldiers won the battle without the blaze getting dangerously near the powder.

Apprenticeship = fear that the summer camp we have established on the Rapidan has the reputation of being devoted sole- ly to fishing. That is not the case,| tn, for the fishing season lasts but a short time in the spring. It is a place for week-end rest—but fishing is an excuse and a valid reason of the widest range of usefulness for ’ the temporary retreat from our busy world. In this case it is the excuse for return to the woods and streams with their retouch of the simpler life of the frontier from which every American springs. Moreover, I have learned that fishing has an important .-implication and even sounder foun- dation of such an excuse from the presidential point of view. I find that many presidents have joined the ranks of fishermen only after their inauguration as president, although I can claim over 45 years of apprentice- ship—that ts, in fishing, not the pres- idency. Equal Before Fish I have discovered the reason why .presidents take to fishing—the silent sport. Apparently the only oppor- tunity for refreshment of one’s soul fishing. As I have said in another place, it {s generally realized and ac- cepted that prayer is the most per- sonal of all human relationships. On such occasions as that men and wom- un- disturbed. Next to prayer. fishing the most personal relationship of man, and, of more importance than the fact itself, everybody concedes that the fish will not bite in the pres- jn ence of the public. Fishing seems to be the sole avenue left to presidents through which they may escape to their own thoughts and may live in their 9 eenaver gs and Roe | io from a ? ir pheum: banines Alice REACHES CHEYENNE Cheyenne, Wyo., Aug. 17.—()—The Spokane Sun God, transcontinental refueling plane, by Nick Mamer and Art Walker, soared over e airport at Cheyenne at 9:11 o'clock this morning and preparations were started for another refueling contact to enable the ship to proceed cast to Cleveland, where the next contact’ is scheduled.

It is no wonder that men with a tooth for wild duck but lacking the spirit of the true sportsman are tempted into violating the ban on shooting the fowl at this time. said the deputy warden. The country is full of ducks wherever there is water to float them and feed to sustain them, The other day, Kinzer said, he saw a flock at least a mile long fly- ing to Crystal Spring lake in wild fowl formation. There were thou- sands of the fowl, he said. John A. Larson some timc ago saw an almost identical sight at Long lake, where thousands of mallards had tramped down a large field of wheat in their nesting and hatching. Some of these large flocks have moved on, however, said Kinzer, as the smaller water pockets and sloughs have been drying up and the lakes running low. If there should be some | the opening of the duck season, Sep- tember 16, he added, the ducks will remain and scatter among the wa- ter places, so that there will be rare sport when the time comes for the Yellow-Legs Multiplying Kinzer said the ducks are in fine condition. They are as green-headed now as they usually are in the fall hunting period. Feed has been plenty and they have thrived and fattened, | 80 that they are ripe for the annual fall killing. Everywhere he has gone, the deputy said, he has found large coveys of upland birds. Even the yellow-leg prairie chicken has shown up in re- stored numbers. Some sportsmen on the eastern edge of the state had concluded that this bird had been made extinct by close hunting, but in the less populated country stretches of North Dakota the yéllow- legs are multiplying nicely, sald Dep- uty Kinzer. 5 Some sportsmen have concliided that ruffed grouse are being hunted down too closely and have petitioned Governor Shafer to deciare a closed season on thése and postpone the opening of the chicken season until October 1, so as to give the birds a better chance for maintaining their existence. While no such proclama- tion has so far emanated from the governor, the game chiefs are sure the postponement of the season will ‘be decreed shortly. Ruffed grouse are not spread over the state, but are confined to # few counties, and .a closed season on them would not a: | fect gunners in general over the state. The plea for a later chicken sea- son is made on the ground that the young birds hatched this season will not be sufficiently developed by Sep- tember 16 to justify the general slaughter that will ensue if the old date is continued for the opening of the season.

NORTHERN PACIFIC OPPOSES NEW ROAD St. Paul, Aug. 17.—(#)—The first gesture in the threatened conflict for traffic contre’ of the east-central dis- trict of Montana was made today by the Northern Pacific railway when it filed a protest with the interstate commerce commission against con- struction of a Montana branch line by the Great Northern. This action by the Northern Pacific renews the controversy waged bé- tween the two roads for several years, centering around the privilege of de- veloping certain parts of the state of Montana. Recently the Northern Pacific filed application with the interstate com- Merce commission for authority to construct a 24-mile branch line from the Glendive-Brokway line. It is be- cause of this application that the | > Northern Pacific road is protesting construction of additional lines by the Great Northern in this particular area, Iowa Fugitive Taken Back to Face Charge of Automobile Theft, H.
