They all had friends or relatives at the

the flooded district.
Mr. Springer said;
There was no one at the lake when

There had been but little rain up to

HISTORY OF THE CANAL.

The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal has
most interesting history II was the
first great work of its kind in the coun-
try. Washington was It's protector.
His scheme was to form chain of in.
ternal improvements by the route Of the
Potomac and across the mountains to
navigable waters which flow into the
Ohio River. AS early as 1774 he Sc.
cured the passage of q law by the Legis-
lature of Virginia for the opening of the
Potomac to navigation. The enterprise,
however, Jagged, and distractions of
war and poverty postponed II, although
company was formed, with Washing
ton as the president. II was not until
1920 that the work was pushed with
vigor. BY 1926 board Of engineers
had examined IT, and computed the cost
at S22, ,000, 900.
The following year the fight for the
canal was made. Just then the Balti
more g. Ohio was pushing westward,
and IL tried to head off any competition
from the canal The contest was Wig.
orous. President Adams was so much
in favor Of the canal that he wrote
long paragraph about II in his message,
but all the members of his cabinet did
not endorse II, and he struck out the
paragraph. The strongest opponent of
the scheme in Congress was Henry
Clay. The bill, however, went through
with good majority, and when the
result was known cannon salutcs were
fired in both Georgetown and Washing
ton. II was the great question of the
day, and the city of Washington was
very much incensed because the big
ditch did not pass through II.
The enterprise was begun on the 4th
OF July, 1923, II was great event,
and there were thousands of people,
and brass band, and much enthusi-
asm. President John Quincy Adams
was the central figure. 1t was he who
broke the ground, and here Is what he
has left on record In his'memOirs: "The
president OF the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal delivered me the spade with
which j broke the ground, addressing
the surrounding auditory, consisting.
perhaps, of 1000 persons II happened,

Immediately under the surface large

1T SHOULD BE CREMATION.

No doubt the physicians in attend
ance at Johnstown are looked upon as
heartless because of their demand that
The wreckage hiding so many bodies be
allowed to burn, but that theirs is the
wise view does not admit Of doubt.
Some time has already elapsed since the
death Of those hidden in the ruins, and
Tie process of decay has already begun.
All that can be had by friends and rela-
tives Of the dead In case the bodies are
rescued is a brief view of something
bideous, and which will but leave an
unwholesome memory. There is moth
ing in the assertion that the bodies
should be rescued for purposes of
identification, for identification will, in
most cases, be impossible. The i'm.
pulse which leads to demand that the
mangled bodies be given ordinary
burial is natural, but to obey il now Is
TO imperil the living. When yielding
TO sentiment may bring pestilence
the sentiment should certainly be re-
sisted.
Cremation of hundreds Of the Johns.
town dead, a cremation accidentally
provided for, would be the swiftest
and, TO all reasoning. persons, It would
seem the most attractive manner Of dis.
posing of the ghastly problem. Better
that the bodies should go at once into
The elements through clean flame than
be found in revolving form and buried
TO breed disease. The physicians at
Johnstown are right. The sentiment
which opposes their advice is not uu.
natural, but Is unreasoning.

him from the hearts of the people of

shown over the appalling calamity at
Johnstown has demonstrated that he is
neither cold -blooded nor unsympathetic.
The fact that he presides to-day at the
citizens meeting for relief of sufferers
isa pleasant thing, too. It is demo
cratic and in keeping with the spirit of
our institutions that the President of
