was settled. Since it's infancy it has been famous for it's navy yard, the first one having been built by the English. Seven miles east of New port News lies the ancient borough and village of Hampton. When Smith and the colonists landed at Newport News looking for @ town site, five In- dians met them and invited them to their village 'Kecoughtan, where Hampton now stands.
 From the days of the colonists, during the revolution when Lord Dunsmore, the royal governor of Vir- ginia was driven to the safety of his gunboats to the fight of the Merri- mac and the Monitor in it's waters during the civil war and to it's active part in the world war, the history of Hampton Roads has been fraught with interest. The River Queen rid ing at anchor on it's smooth shining surface on February 3, 1865, was the scene of an informal conference be- tween Lincoln and Seward of the Union and Alexander H. Stephens, Senator Robert M. T. Hunter and As- sistant Secretary of War John A. A. Campbell of the Confectionery, held and south. Though the efforts of these men were of no avail, it was here that Lincoln voiced his intended mag nanim ous treatment of the Confeder- ate states in the statement that he would exercise the power of the ex- ecutlve with the utmost liberality.'

HAMPTON ROADS IS YITALLY IMPORTANT
Played Prominent Part in Recent E World War

Washington, D. C., March &c., Hampton Roads, of vital importance | Yin our war operations, but unmen- Rtioned in that connection because of voluntary press censorship, again is a center of interest because Of the burfling of the Hotel Chamberlain, a few weeks ago. A bulletin of the Ma , tional Geographic society g1Ves the IShistpry of this region as follows:
 |" "tThere is but one entrance by sea into this country, and that is at the mouth of a very goodly bay Captain John Smith wrote in his Map of Fir- ginia, with a Description of the Countrey,' concerning Chesapeake bay with it's attendant harbor. Hamp- ton Roads, which he describes as bounded on the south by Florida, on the north by New France, and whose western limits are unknown
 f' "A few bustling ports like New York and Boston might disagree with theredoubtable captain concerning the facilities their harbors now offer, but certainly no harbor can claim a much more romantic history not only in colonial times, but in the world war as well.
 Always Used by Navy.
 Hampton Roads has been the ren deZvous of the American navy ever s.nce there was one. When, during tke early part of 1917, newspaper re- ports were saying that the fleet was swallowed up somewhere in the mists of the Atlantic it had secretly slid out of the harbor at Hampton Roads and was resting quietly at Yorktown few miles up the bay, awaiting orders from Washington. At a moments Dice these huge battleships could here signal to each other with their multi-hued flags and steam out to Through the waters of Hampton Roads thousands of men, tons of sup plies and cargoes of horses glided out during the night to play their parts on fields of France.

The harbor is a splendid sheet of water 300 feet in width with a, mini mum depth of 30 feet, safe from gales and large enough to float a great navy. It is formed by the James, Nansemond and Elizabeth rivers as they pass into Chesa peake bay. The thriving cities of Norfolk, Newport News and Portsm outh give it commer- cial importance.
 ''The first land in this vicinity that the sea-weary Captain John Smith and his men caught sight of was the east ern end of 8 sandy spit of land, which they named Cape Henry. Here they opened the sealed orders of the Lon don company and learned that they were to settle much farther inland. But, for a few days, they rested and explored the neighboring waters. They erected a cross on this spot of their first landing, in gratitude for a safe ending of their journey. Later in 1891 a lighthouse was erected on this same spot. It is standing today and bears a tablet commemOrating the landing, though a larger and much more pre- tentious structure has been built for lighting the shipping.
 Sailing farther inland they touched a point at the entrance to the harbor they called Point Comfort because of the good channel and the safe an- chorage it afforded. When later siml- lar places were found the one first touched was dubbed 'Old,' and this name has clung to it ever since. It was here that Jefferson Davis was confined for time at the close of the civil war.

fire was not cotton under control.

emergency.
The fire was discovered in the mail
room and at the time the passengers
were notified of fire it had made such

that the ship would have to be abandon

holes could be chopped through deck it
was impossible to get water on the

ing to get the flame under control.
Shortly after the fire was discovered a
wireless call was sent out to find out
whether any ships were near enough to
give assistance. At daybreak, passen-
gers of the Philadelphia saw the steam
ship Mohawk nearby ready to aid the

only two letters saved out of the official
mail pouch. What was not burned or
scorched had been flooded and water
soaked.
Out of the $50 bags of mail for Porto

These letters in many instances contain

which may or may not be replaced once

Inspector says it is. hardly necessary
to emphasize the Importance OF TINS

lists showed but little interest in the
conference and as a result the Jona-
than apple grade was changed from
the striped TO the solid red class which
lost the growers of the Yakima Valley

IN OLMSTEAD ADDITION
Homes of e. N. Chipperfield and DIR.
ID. s. Br0gunier Burn with
High Wind Blowing

The home of E. N. Chipperfield was
totally destroyed and the home of DR..
D. S. Brogunier left almost total
loss by fire early last Friday morn
ing.
The Chipperfield home where the
fire originated was almost entirely en-
veloped in flames before the fire was
discovered and Mr.. Chipperfeld, who
was awakened by neighbors, had bare
ly time to escape with only few ar
ticles of clothing. A strong wind was
blowing and the Brogunier home was
soon on fire. Thru the efforts of the
fire department and many volunteers,
most of the household goods Of DR..
Brogunier were rescued and two of
the rear rooms left standing.
Mr.. Chipperfield is of the opinion
that the fire started from the spon-
taneous combustion of oiled rags with
which he had been doing some inter
ior staining. He had recently moved
the most of his household goods to

another of his houses and was refin-
ishing the interior of this one prepara-
tory to renting it.
DR.. Brogunier's loss will be heavy
as he carried no insurance. A form
er policy expired recently while ne
gotiations We're pending for the sale
of his home and after the deal was
declared off he neglected to renew his
insurance. He will rebuilt his home
exactly as it was before. Carpenters
are already at work and he expects
to have a home again within two
weeks.
DIR. and Mrs. Brogunier ask the
Courier-Reporter to extend thanks tc
the members of the fire department
and the friends and neighbors for theil
timely assistance and kindness, as al
so do Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Brown
whose residence was saved from des
truction by the hard work of the vol
