N. V. B. Griffey Dead.

Martin Var Buren, Griffey, IA
miliar figure in our midst and one Of
the few remaining types Of pioneer
manhood, died at his home in the
lower bottom, Saturday, after a
short illness Of pneumonia. Despite
his ~ years, lie was active until
death, but his advanced years made
him an easy victim Of pneumonia.
Mr.. Griffey had for a number Of
wears looked after Hon. r. I. Ty-
ler's plantation, near Sassafras
Ridge. He came here from Hick-
man county about 1895. Previous
to his coming here, he was engaged
in business in Clinton, but owing to
his hearing becoming defective, re-
tired from commercial activities
Since then he has been managing the
Tyler plantation, and was a splendid
overseer. He was held in high es-
TEEN by our people, and was recog-
nized as one of the staunch and
trusted men OF this county.
Deceased was born and reared on
the old Levi farm, near Moscow,
and according to his request, was
buried in the family burying grounds
there Sunday. OF a family of nine
children-six brothers and three
sisters-all are now dead. He is
survived by one son, MarthenyGrif-
fey, who resides in the same neigh
borhood.
Mr. Griffey was me mber of the
Christian church, and was one OF
those plain. sensible, honest men,
never fail to command the love and
who respect of his fellow man. He
was firm and true in his friendships,
and will be missed among his larg,
circle of friends.
Thus ends a long, useful career.
Peace to his soul.

PLEA FOR INLAND WATERWAY
Commissioner Suggests Economic
Plans in Report to President.

notwithstanding their great possibili-
ties. the inland waterways are not now
carrying anything like their proper share
of the countrys traffic. because of the lack
Of comprehensive plan and uniformity
and of proportonate contribution from
the localities benefited. is the salient fea-
ture of comment of Herbert Knox Smith,
commissioner Of corporations, in trans
mtting to the President part one of the
report on transportation by water in the
United States.
This. in view of the fact that Congress
appropriated $3.50, 0,OOO,OO0 for inland wa
ter improvements in 1907. Commissioner
Smith states. is broad economic defect,
of serious disadvantage to the entire
business of the country, but it can be
remedied with practical and commercial
unity along the line of general plan
of operations.
The report sets forth the details to
illustrate in forceful manner the rea-
sons for this conclusion, and urges that
the inland waterways must be placed in
such position that they can obtain, even
again railroad competition, a far greater
proportion of the country's traffic than
they now have.

RENEWING SEA WALL.
Army Engineers Put Force to Work
at Washington Barracks.

The United States Army engineers have
a force of men and holster at work re-
newing a portion of the sea wall sur
rounding Washington barracks park on
it's harbor side. At points along the half
mile stretch of wall the stone work is
giving away somewhat, due largely, it is
stated, to the nature of the earth on
which it rests. This stone work is being
torn out and renewed. The sea wall
along the western end of the Potomac C
park on the harbor side Is being rebuilt
and made to conform to the portion built
the last year or two. When the wall was
first constructed it was of loose blocks of
stone, SO low that an ordinary tide went
over it, When the wall Is rebuilt the stone
work will be put together with cement
and the height of the wall raised a foot
or more. When the portion now under
construction is completed it will complete
the wall from the point opposite the low
er end of Washington barracks park 10
the western end of the harbor.
Carter & Clarks wharf building equip
ment Is employed digging the foundation
pling for about 200 feet of new sea wall
which is to be constructed from the Dis
tnct sewer pumping station on the East
ern branch TO Smiths lumber wharf. The
wall will be constructed of stone and con-
crete, and will be of d permanent cnar-
actef.

OWES HIS LIFE TO o'BRIEN.
Unidentified White Boy Saved From
Drowning by Canoeist.

An unidentified white boy about six
teen years of age, supposed 10 re-
side in this city. owes his life to Mi
chael O'Brien. a member of the WASH
ington Canoe Club, residing at 1900 CO.
lumbia road northwest.
While the boy, with three companions,
was in a small boat yesterday afternoon
opposite the Analostan Island, the craft
suddenly capsized and all of them were
precipitated into the water. The three
other boys. who were good swimmers.
imm mediately struck out for the shore,
leaving their companion f1oundering in
the water. About that time a launch
containing members of the Washington
Canoe Club approached. Seeing the boy
in the water, Mr.. O'Rrien, who was
dressed in a bathing suit plunged over
board and soon had the little fellow
alongside of the launch. where willing
hands pulled both the rescuer and res
cued into the boat,
The boy was taken to the clubhouse
above the Aqueduct bridge, where he
was told TO dry his clothes but when he
was unobserved he suddenly disappeared
from the place and his identity remains
d mystery. Mr.. O'Brien received the
congratulations of the members Of the
club upon his heroic act.

BUILDS A RACING BOAT.
M. F. Ramey's Launch Is Expected
to Be Speedy.

The fact that Alexandria yachtsmen
have been able to build and operate high
speed launches is squirting Washington
lovers of aquatic racing to strong en-
deavors to Wrest the speed banner from
the Virginia city boat owners. The launch
kirdo, belonging to Will Moore of Alex
andria is regarded as the fastest vessel
on the Potomac. NJ. +. Ramey of this
city, an employe in the Washington naval
ordnance foundry, has built a boat which
Washington sportsmen believe will show
high speed and has an excellent chance
of winning the Potomac speed banner.
The new launch is built on racing lines
and was constructed in the yard of Mr..
Robeys home a I'd street and Maryland
avenue southeast. 1t is to be launched
in the Eastern branch at once, and as
soon as some finishing work is done the
new craft will have her trial trip.
The boat, which has been named the
August Belmont. is thirty feet long and
is equipped with -five-horsepower
automobile engine that is expected to
drive her through the water at speed
close TO thirty miles an hour.
