An Old Log Cabin.

During the flood of the spring of 1915
in Dayton, o., a log-cabin built of
heavy hewn logs, cemented with NOR
tar, hravely held its place on the
banks of the river, whose raging tor
rents of water rose to its second
story, wrecking many modern houses
around it, says a writer in the
Springfield Republican. 7f'ihis log cabin
was the first built in Dayton and
with civic pride the citizens have pre-
served it from the destroying hand
of time, placing it at the head Of
Monument avenue, one of the most
beautiful sites in the city, where it
is surrounded by many costly resi-
.dencca. This loyalty to pioneer days
can well be initiated by other cities
through America, if any such relic
as this old house remains in their
midst.
When the country around it was
a vast uncultivated expanse of land,
this log cabin was an inn, where the
weary pioneer might find warmth and
rest for himself and family. If the
round-topped covered wagon could
not he halted for the stop, we can
imagine that the bright light stream
ing through these little windowpanes
cheered the travellers on their way.
Any remainder of those days of the
hardship and toll endured by the first
settlers of our country is of great
value in these days of comparative
ease and luxury, so that we may not
forget the debt we owe to their en-
6urance, and the historical society of
Dayton has set a good example to
other states in preserving this old
tavern as monument to the pioneers
who settled Ohio.
! IT Is house of two large rooms
| below, with staircase of solid logs
leading to two rooms above. The great
chimney at the side of the house is
built of great stones almost to the
second story, and for the rest of the
way Of short logs mortared together,
forming the three sides of the CHM
ney. On the top of the house is

bell, which we may conclude was rung
to warn the distant farmers in times
Of danger, for in 1896, when this old
house was built, the Indians still gave
the settlers much trouble, and these
larger log houses were often used as
improvised forts where the neighbors
brought their families for protection,
and their combined strength to re-
sist the Indians attack. In the War
of 1912 it was used as headquarters
for the American army.
This old log cabin is now surround
ed by an old-fashioned garden, and
one Of the quaint little "walks" leads
to an old draw-well. White ruffled
curtains hang at the windows, as if
all was in readiness for the weary
wayfarers to come into the big liv-
ing loom and enjoy its hospitality.
The large rooms are now stored with
relics of pioneer days of many sorts
given by the people of Dayton, which
their ancestors brought all those long
miles "from the east'' in the big
wagons with their children-posses-
sions so dear to them that they could
not be left behind or so necessary
to comfort in a new land where they
could not be obtained.
The majority of the settlers of Day
ton came from Pennsylvania and
Maryland. The writer looks back
with pleasure to having known one
of them-a handsome old gentleman
with that fine rose tint in his cheeks
that so many person of that day
seemed to keep to old age, possibly
acquired by the outdoor life demand
ed of every pioneer in any land. His
face was stamped with true nobility
of character. He had come with his
father, minister of the gospel, his
mother, and nine brothers and sis
ters, from little town in Maryland,
when he was young child. He be-
came one of the richest and most in
fluential men in Dayton.
From this log cabin house, built
11S years ago, has grown a city OF
125,OOO people, and it adds greatly to
the credit of his wideawake modern
community that they have kept this
house, the first one of their beauti-
full city, from ruin and decay. Built
from logs cut from the forest, which
have been held together for more than
100 years by mortar made from the
virgin sand and soil, it stands today
as a symbol of that hopeful, cour-
ageous spirit by which America has
won her place among the greatest
nations of the earth.

When You Gather Roses.

New York Times: If you are
gathering roses for a friend to car
ry-or even if you yourself will car
Iy them-follow the method of a fa-
nous rose grower, whose gardens
produce roses that are the envy of
every one who sees them.
He is generous-all lovers of flow
ers seem to be generous. The result
is that no visitor to his gardens goes
away with empty hands. And natur-
ally he has had much experience in
picking roses for others to carry.
He cuts long stems, for he believes
that this stimulates the growth of the
roses. And he clips, with short, sharp,
strong scissors, the thorns from the
stem for distance of four or five
inches from the end. Thus the stem is
easily held, without danger of torn
skin. And, moreover, tho rose stems
minu5 thorns take up less room than
they would were the thorn still on,
and so more roses can be carried in
a bunch of given diameter Of stem.
Imperial Valley press., 1914-07-24

on this line, by false representation
they are trying to make it appear
that the Press is responsible.
The attack thus planned by the I'M
rerial cabal ut its series of meetings
was Sc foolish politically that it may
rot be strange all are now trying
to get out from under it since its eX,
rosure.
But the issue is made and must be
resisted by every citizen of the coun
ty who does not believe in the entire
control of county government by I'M
perial.

1 DEFENDER.

n The Holtville Tribune is be
lieved to be the only reactionary Re-
publican newspaper in Imperial coun-
ty, and in what is supposed to be
an attempted defense of the Imperial
ticket, the Tribune says:
"Pclhaps it is out of place to men
ton the thought here, but Mr.. Howe
is former resident of Imperial"
1t is presumed this implies that the
editor of the Press opposes the I'M
perial ticket through personal an
tagonism to the people of Imperial,
but tshat assumption is not true. The
editor of the Press signed the nom
ination petition of one Imperial cam
didatc and had planned to support one
ether and possibly two others.
Then came the series of conferences
in Imperial, to act alorg the line thai
had leen suggested by the booze
boss, to namc a distinctly Imperial
ticket, to capture the county govern
ment for Imperial, and when that pol
icy was adopted the Press could see
10 other course but to opPoce every
candidate endorsed by the Imperial
cabal.
The Press does not undertake to
decide on other peoples motives ordi-
narily, but in this move it can see only
enc Of two purposes.
Imperial is noted for two things-
licensed booze and opposition to the
irrigation district. 1t is an inevitable
conjecture that in seeking to doni-
rate county government Imperial
wishes to give booze wide latitude or
10 block the irrigation district, or 70
do both.
In view of the danger to public
morals and to the irrigation district.
Iit has become a necessity to complete
ly defeat the Imperial program.
In line with this, it may be said
that after holding a series of meet
ings in Imperial to put up an OK
Iclusivcly Imperial ticket, thereby max
ing the issue of the campaign, the
promoters Of the Imperial ticket are
now crying because the Press expose
their moves.
Instead of taking the blame ou
themselves for starting a campaigl

A TYPICAL CASE.

"A A few days since representa-
tivcs of the Imperial Valley Long
Stapie Cotton Growers Associations
offered to make the Press their "of-
ficial organ," which tender was de-
clined, though the gentlemen were in
formed that the Press would be
pleased to publish any information
they desired to give the public at any
time. This is in accordance with the
regular policy of the Press not to be
AN organ for any individual or organ
ization, but to present the unbiased
news for all.

hat the Progress has accepted the
very Questionable honor of being an

New York, Aug. 6.-From wireless
signals picked up it is believed that
there are three German cruisers and
the converted cruiser Prinz Wilhelm,
three English cruisers and two French
cruisers just off the entrance of New
York harbor.
Now that war has been declared be-
tween Germany and England it is be-
11eved big naval engagement may be
fought off the American coast should
the English and German or the
French and German cruisers get
within firing distance of each other.
It is not believed, however, that
the German ships will risk an engage

The cruisers are patrolling the
American coast to seize any foreign
treasure ship or ships loaded with
food or fuel that may leave American
ports for Europe.
