Mule and Muskst Price Of Land.

Neville island, which has been chos-
en- by the government as the site for
the worlds greatest ordnance plant,
was once sold for an old white mule
and a fiintlock musket, according to
traditions on the island.
One Of the "old-timers" Of the Ohio
valley recalls hearing Sol Ague, who
died in Sewickly a number of years
ago at the ripe age of ninety-eight, tell
the story of the sale Of the island.
Ague said his father settled on the
island more than 100 years ago.
There was hardly a day, the story
went, that the Indians did not go to
the Ague house, demanding food and
whisky. The relator of the story said
his father became so disguised with
the place that he decided to get rid OF
1t. One day stranger came along
riding a white mule, with a musket
lying across the pommel of his saddle.
The man stopped at the Ague house
and the elder Ague told the stranger
his troubles. The latter offered his
mule and the gun for the island, which
offer was promptly accepted. The
Agues then moved to the district now
occupied by Sewickly.

character In Eskimo lore, was the only
article published in recent issue OF
!he Eskimo, native school magazine
issued here, a Nome (Alaska) corre-
spondent of the Rocky Mountain News

Is believed to be as vivid to the natives
OF this country as the stories Of Ulys-
ses were to the Greeks and the Sagas
to the Norsemen.
Joe Sekonik, an Eskimo, the author,
is said to have spent much time gath
erlng his material from the old folk
Of the Kavalina section near here, who
heard 1t from their fathers. According
to the tale, NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS." the
hero, was the father of the Kavalina
tribe.
The hero wandered into many parts
of northwestern Alaska, meeting
strange adventures, fighting hostile ma
tlves and finally killing giant. The

Westinghouse and gross prof.

investigation by Army Intelligence

charged with bribery, fraud or con

the other manufacturers as rapidly as
specific proof OF fraud is developed, it
was said In some cases officials plan
to give publicity to the practices with.

The reason for this. it was explained,
Is that government agents have evil
dence of irregularity and profteering

tion might be based.

concerns which employed them in

GERS subsequently used their influence

certain companies or groups of con.
Germs have been able through this
personal contact to dictate specifica-

favorable to their methods of manu-.
facture. All army officers receiving
some form of compensation from
sources apart from the army pay are
not open to suspicion, 1t was ex-
planned, particularly when they are
not connected in any way with pur.
chasing. Another reform being work

discovery of contract frauds is the
gradual elimination of men assisting
the Government on the nominal pay
or "dollar-a-year" basis and the pay
ment of adequate salaries on which
they can live without resorting to com.
pensation from special interests.
