Washington. Davis had been employ ed in the beach gang at Libbyville and was helping with the mail.
 When Edwards saw Davies, he said, Well, Dave, I'll see you in Seattle, and I'll have to tell you story that will make your hair stand on end Davies inquired as to what he meant, wondering if he was having trouble with his wife, so Edwards asked Day. ies to step aside and proceeded to tell him in confidence that the third man in their party had been bumped off, close to the lake.
 Davies was stunned upon hearing the details of the story and at first labored under the impression that Ed wards was either drunk or crazy, but upon hearing the other stories, he learned that the partners had quarrel ed continuously. George Edwards, on one side and the other two boys on the other George Edwards intended to take the trip to the lake district slowly so as to get in a lot of hunting, and to camp at spots for three or four days at time, whereas Robert Ed wards in particular was anxious to get to Iliamna and from there to Cook h. let. Many arguments ensued, which sometimes led to fist fights, and final ly George Edwards told Robert he would drop him from the party and not permit him to go further with it. This occurred on the sixth night of the journey.

the anxiety to fight some country as yet undetermined. After hostilltles started the cost plus plan was adopt ed and millions of dollars thrown away on worthless vessels. Then fol lowed the reaction and a peace con- gross was demanded. Again the press and pulpit hammered at the people showing how war could be averted and peace descend upon the world if all weapons were destroyed, the advo- cates of peace forgetting that men killed and footed in the ages past when stones were tied to sticks ana bows made from yew trees.
 Within the next four years America will wish she had not yielded to the now popular clamor, but had conserv- ed its fighting strength at the highest possible pitch. Wars will never cease and men will never cease killing each other so long as the spirit of greed is in the human breast and this will be forever. Destroying our fighting machines is like throwing our guns away because there are laws against burglary
 The oldtimerS who were raised on the open range, when every man car ried a Colts .45 and was law unto himself will remember that those were the days when there was little scandal and few robberies and mur- ders, save among the so-called gun men, who obligingly killed each other off in their differences. AS soon as the lawyers appeared and courts were established property rights were men aced and extortion began. It was i'm possible to swindle man who was ready and willing to defend his prop erty and good name with his life; but the courts soon stopped all this and the man who had the best law yer won.
 So it is with nations. When their weapons of defense are laid aside, they are easy pickings for the nation with the best diplomats. A fighting nation is rarely diplomatic nation They have had no necessity to be. The sure way to keep out of trouble is to be ready and anxious to meet it half way. Attempt to dodge or evade an issue and it will chase one around the universe and never down.
 Only by keeping our navy and army to the highest state of efficiency can we hope to repel assaults that are cer- tain to come.

COSTLY SENTlMENTALISM

At the navy yards in San Francisco today workmen started the destruc- ton of warships valued at several hundred million dollars. This costly experiment il. destructiveness is the result of the recent limitation of arms conference held in Washington, at the behest of the sentimentalists and peace-at-any-price adherents of the na- tion, who believe that war can be es- topped by destroying the engines of war
 With it's enormous wealth unim- paired the nations of the world saw that America would speedily dominate the seven seas, and snrewdly set about minimizing her opportunity by appealing to the sentimental side of the citizenry, which is usually on tap for any I.urDOcC desired \ few years ago vas. Farades were L:arching in our cities urging preparedness, the press and publicists working on the patriotism of the people to the extent that they were milling in circles over

"The following morning an argu- ment broke out afresh between the boys and it is said that George Ed wards, who was lying in his sleeping bag in the tent, reached for his shot gun and pointed it at Robert Edwards. Robert Edwards and Wolf, it is claim ed, were outside the tent at the time, where high-powered rifle was lean- ing against the tent wall. Wolf saw Robert pick up the rifle and threaten George. Robert then raised the rifle, shooting and killing George while he was still lying in the bag.
 Wolf and Robert Edwards then pro- ceeded to cut about ten feet of sod in which they placed the body and covered it with soil, also burying DOT tions of the murdered mans clothes Prior to this they had emptied his pockets of valuables and the Journey back to Libbyville started
 When Davies heard this story as told him by Robert Edwards, he asked him, Doesn't you conscience hurt you for what you've done? and the answer came back, Don't worry! I won't lose a minutes sleep over the - R. Ed wards then made off for the launch which was ready to leave and as was learned later on, found employment on the Starr as deckhand
 Davies went back to his cabin and thought the story over, and after a sleepless night reported it the follow. ing morning to Superintendent George F. Smith, of the Libby, McNeill & Lib- by plant.
 MT. Smith wired Marshal Weston N. Reed, at Nushagak, who came over the following day, and Wolf, who was on the beach painting the dory, was promptly sent for and arrested. This occurred on Wednesday, Aug l. The young man was handcuffed and placed under guard in the hospital where a special room had been prepared The next day Marshal Reed, Supt. Smith, Dr. Flanders and two of the guards managed to secure confession from the boy which practically cor1oborat- ed the story told by Davies. The re- markable feature of Wolfe's story, was that he took all the blame that he was responsible for every thing. The confession was duly sign ed and sworn to before Notary Mar shal Reed and it was decided to go up the Kvichak river to exhume the body of the murdered man.
 Friday morning the party, consist ing of Chris Nelson, U. s. Commission CT al Eoggiul.g, Deputy Reed and the prisonn; Dr. Flanders, d special pilot and gas boat engineer, starte out in the gas boat Virginia for the scene of the crime. A coffin was carried and all instruments necessary to eXhume the body and to perform post mor- | tenn.
 '"Thr confession which had been made by Wolf had not been complete ly satisfactory, and on the way up the river he was admonished 10 come clean and tell straight story. He l did so, and in his further confession pointed out the motive for trying 10 shield Robert Edwards. He stated that Edwards had wife in Seattle and a baby was expected in the family very soon. For the wife and baby's sake he intended to assume the blame, as he had no one to care or worry about | him.
 Tn his story Wolf said that on the fatal morning, he and Robert Edwards who had been asleep on the outside of the tent, got up and while Wolf was frying bacon for breakfast, Robert called to George, who was still sleep

NEW PEACH FOUND
FOR JERSEY GROWERS

A substitute for the Carman peach
has recently been developed by the
New Jersey Agricultural Experiment
Station. This new peach, known as
Pioneer, resulted from a Seeding Of
Belle crossed with Greenboro grown
at New Brunswick, New Jersey.
The fruit is white feshed, semi
cling, almost freestone, and ripens sew
eral days before Carman. 1t is oval
like Belle and develops a bright red
color which is far more attractive
than that of Carman.
The Pioneer is equal to Carman in
vigor, hardness and productiveness,
and the fruit is superior to it in quail
ity, shape, and general appearance.
Distribution of trees is in charge of
the Experiment Station at New Bruins
wick. New Jersey growers may get
full information from county agricul-
tural agents or by writing to Profes-
sor A. J. Farley, State College of Agri-
culture, New Brunswick, N. J.

taking on board what was along side.
They was all handled by the natives
there and it kept the crew busy in
slowing them away, with the mate
overseeing the job. The widest alli-
gators were put in the hold while the
harmless one was put on deck.
Sunday morning at three bells we
weighed anchor and the engine started
on their steady roar for civilizashun.
Had fine run all that night and all
day there was a constant roaring
from the engine room, reminding us
that we was all on our way for home.
But night overlook US in the Dismal
Swamp Canal so We made fast to
some trees along the bank and all
turned in early behind locked doors.
We We're not to be left in peace long
as the forest seem alive with wild ami
mails. One might think that the in
fernal regions had broken loose. Of
all the seething, melancholy and hid
ious noises that came from that
smamp; the worst of all was the one
we had in the spare-roOn.
When he heard the howls and
screams from outside he stated in
earnest; starting on a small scale, but
increasing in volume until he sounded
like steam callicpe. He would wind
up like a yow-yow of a dog and then
stop for more wind and start all over
again. If you ever saw a happy lot
of men it was when morning dawned
Monday we got under way at
bells and arrived in Norfolk and ship
ped "Spark Plug" who had gained
125 pounds in IA days.
Left Norfolk at 3 bells, P. NJ, and
started up the Bay for Tangiers
Sounds. Arrived there and anchored
at z bells, midnight. In the morning
went up little Annanessex to her
head, and tied up at the R. R. wharf.
at Cresfeld to sell our cargo.
Hardly had we got lines out before
crowds of people came to see the
sights. They kept going and coming
all the forenoon, but finally we were
ordered moved by the Manager, as
our cargo was getting dry and howled
for water.
We then headed for Baltimore and
arrived there the next day at 5 bells,
11.30 and landed at wharf at Fell
Street. There was met by lot of
sight seers who crowded on board all
that day and Thanksgiving. Finally
the whole cargo was taken over by
the Southern Can Co. who commenced
to hoist them on shore. 1t took two
days to land them all, and glad lot
of men there was on board of the
packet Samuel NJ. Denny, from the
captain down to our mess boy.
The next day We arrived in Penns
Grove and had so much game on
board that we thought best to send
ont an S. 0. s. call to our neighbors.
The first to call was Harry. He came
and got his supply and burned the
roads he went so fast. Then Everett
c9'7'o and rot some, and he made
smoke going so fast. Harry came and
cot ? swan and said it would have to
be barbered. Harry came down and
buckled up what he wanted and went
for his place of Barnes. Charles got
his wants filled and said he would
Wad-his kows if they was nearer.
Warren came and Risen-ed them all
and went for home.
The above is a copy of the "log" of
the Packet Samuel NJ Denny. To
those who do not know what "1og"
is, we will state that it is the same
as a business man ledger; telling
what and where the boat goes, where
she carries her cargo, if on deck or
in the hold.

MARKED DECREASE IN
ACCIDENTS AT DU POINTS

Safety work, translated into terms
Of human lives saved, has prevented
the death of 1913 dupont Company
workers in the last eleven years. This
figure was given by the president of
the company at two day safety con-
vention held at the main office in
Wilmington, Delaware. If the fate of
fatalities per thousand men employed
before organized safety work was in
stituted had been maintained since
with the increase of workers employed
IN the manufacture Of explosives alone
during the period which included the
war years, there would have been
1890 accidental enthusiastically there
were 1926. These figures have been
worked out on the actuarian plan
adopted by insurance companies and
ether eomputers of statistics. The
favorable showing is attributed to the
intensive and constant safety cam
paign which has been waged.
During the last eight years the com
pany has entered other lines of busi-
ness where there IS no explosive haz-
ard and in these lines a significant re-
duction in accidents has taken place.
In the company as a whole there is
now one-sixth the accidental deaths
that existed prior to 1911.
There has been a marked decrease
also in the number of non-fatal acci-
dents, the rate per thousand employees
having fallen steadily despite the rush
Of war work, from 102 in 1912 to "a
last year. The estimated prevention
of non-fatal injuries since safety work
has started amounts to 8195.
