Gen. Beach Reminisces

| Capt. Irwin Travis is in recent of
letter from Lansing H. Beach, Ma
jor General Chief of Engineers of
the War Department at Washington
acknowledging receipt of a block of
oregon fir and some photographs of
the launching of the Malta sent him
by Capt. Travis. Gen. Beach is the
man who gave Capt Travis his ap-
polntment as U. S. storekeeper at
this place, nearly thirty-fve years
ago. At that time Gen. Beach was just
out of West Point and this was
his first field service. He has now
attained the highest point possible in
the service His title and position
however do not crowd out memo
rles of his early days along the Mus
kingum. In speaking of the recent
Launching of the dredge boat he re-
calls the launching of the first hull
years ago, from the Malta side. Then
the banks were lined with people and
the children were allowed to come
from the public schools to see the
Launching. From these reminis-
cences he comments on the passing
Iof old acquiantances, and inquiries
particularly concerning Mr.. Stan
berry. He writes that he "has a feel
ing he would like to take trip over
the Muskingum again" but adds that
"such trip might be saddened by
the thought of those he could not see
again" There were warm touches
|all through the letter that kindle the
heart toward the General who figur-
ed directly in the history of Mus
kingum river affairs in days of yore.
New LeX-McCon. Rd. Contract Let

ington- n-McConnelsville road was let

Chamber of Commerce Meeting

The Morgan County Chamber of
Commerce held their regular month
ly meeting Monday evening. Not
much business was transacted. Mr.
Kenneth Longley made report of
the meeting he and S. c. White at
tended with representatives of the
GAINESVILLE Chamber of Commerce at
the meeting in Columbus relative to
the canal route from the lakes to
the Ohio river. The meeting was be-
fore board of army engineers. 1t
was the opinion of Messrs. Longley
and White that the government will
take no action soon as to the route.
The meeting was not for the purpose
of finding the shortest or easiest
route, or the least expensive to
build, but to learn which one would
draw the most tonnage. A prelim-
mary survey would cost close to
100000, and the completion of a
canal, no matter which one of the
several proposed <foutes are chosen
would cost it is estimated $3.50, ,0O0,-
000 Unless proprosed route could
show that it would draw a certain
amount of tonnage it is hardly likely
that survey would be made.
The offer of $500 rendered for
the fire truck which has been here
was refused by the manufacturers,
and that offer has been withdrawn,
by the Chamber of Commerce.
No Chamber of Commerce meet
ing would be complete without GER
tain amount of road discussion. At
tention was called to the fact-that
much money raised by private sub
scriptions had been spent on the NAL
ia north river road 1t was also
shown that the commissioners had
promised $4,000 to complete the
road to Malta, but first they must
have the right of way. 1t was re-
ported that with the exception of
three or four, all the land owners
had signed an agreement to give the
right of way, and committee is to
also assist in every way possible in
obtaining the right of way, and in
whatever manner possible to get the
road completed. The committee
named consisted of j. NJ Anderson,
G. w. Archer and Fred Smith.
Truck Growers Assoc. Organized
The president reported that at a
special meeting held last Saturday a
truck growers association was or
ganized in the county with the fol-
lowing officers: President, c. w.
Huck: vice president. F. G. Wilson
ec'y-Treas., Oscar Sherwood. Rep
|resentatives of the Marietta and
Lowell truck growers association
were present at the meeting Satur-
day and explained the manner in
which they, conducted their organi-
cations, and of the benefits received.
The association started off with fif-
teen members.

Eighth Graders Wallop Beverly

Last Friday evening while our M
& m. Hi basket ball tossers were play
ing one of the fastest and closest
games here of the season, and at the
same time the high school girls
were at Roseville, doing their best
to take over the girls of that place,
another game no less exciting was
on at Beverly between Beverly
Eighth graders, and a quintet of the
same grade pupils from M. C M. 1t
was a real game from the beginning
to the end finishing with score OF
20 to 21 in favor of our local boys.
At the end of the first half the score
was 10 to Ia in the locals favor. The
Beverly boys were much larger
than ours, and in spite of the fact
that the floor was small the home
boys had no trouble in taking the
long end of the score. Murray
Bingham went as coach.
