TRAVELETTE

By NIKsAH.

I OCCOQUAN, Va, % miles from
" Washington. on a tributary Of the
Potomac. is a veritable picture town.
II clusters on q hill rising steeply
above the creek, which is placid and
deep and wide before the town, but
breaks into rocky cataracts just
above. where it energies from a great
oak forest a high wooden bridge
spans the creek, and near it is an old
stone mill which is said to have been
grinding steadily for almost 200
years George Washington used TO
send his grain from Mount Vernon to
be ground at the Occoquan mill
a few hundred feet above this ven
cradle industry stand the ruined walls
OF still older mill. Swallowed by a
great oak and covered with ivy The
ancient mill race still runs, pouring
its clear waters in pretty cataracts
over the floors and through the door
way.
Careful inspection has revealed the
foundations Of an old iron foundry
stin farther up the creek; 1t is said
TO have made cannon balls for the
continental army. And there is i
well established legend that a glass
factory also flourished at Occoquan
In colonial days, and a cotton gin is
known to have existed there I'D TO
the time Of the civil war
Thus OccOquan is a veritable grave
yard OF dead industries Perhaps 900
people live in the town now; once il
was many times its present size, and
doubtless looked forward to a great
industrial future.
The strangest part OF it all is that
the water power and the water trans
portation which made Occoquzn great
a century ago are still there. The
swift running waters Of Occoquan
creek. which we're such a boon to CO.
lonial industry, now turn nothing but
one messy old mill wheel. It is said
that a great New York corporation
has acquired by lease and purchase
the control Of all the lands there
about, and that so far IL has not seen
lit to begin any development The
Of Occoquan. many Of
whom belong to families that have

sibilities Of their native town
