FACT AND HISTORY
ARE INTERVIEWED
Great Mound Opened at Mt. Airy
Early Settlers From Maryland

So intertwined with tradition is the
Valley that much which might be au-
thentic is lost in the doubtfulness of
this tradition.
However, it is an established fact
there were numerous battles between
the Indian tribes which roamed
through this region prior to the adj
vent of the first settlers.
1t is a matter of tradition that the
Senedoes, one of the Indian tribes of
the Valley was almost exterminaed
by hostile band of savages on the
North Fork of the Shenandoah River
on the Mt. Airy estate, now owned
by Daniel Kelliher of Washington
state, and originally the estate of
William Steenburger.
An Indian mound once existed on
these lands and when it was opened
| it was found to contain scores of skel-
etons. At the head of each skeleton
stone was deposited to indicate the
size of the body buried. The mound
was eighteen feet in height and one
hundred and fifty feet in circumfer-
ence at the base.
In 1874, Benjamin Allen, Riley
Moore and William White removed
from Monaccacy, Md, and settled
in the neighborhood of Mt. Jackson.
Descendants of Moore and Allen,
many of whom are still living in and
near Mt. Jackson, were potent fac
tors in the development of Shenan-
doah County, but little is known OF
the visit of White.
Benjamin Allen established and
Operated mill at the mouth of al
len Mill Creek" now Mill Greek
where it empties in the Shenandoah
River, near Mt. Jackson This was
the first mill in this territory. having
. been in operation in 1876. At one
time, Mill Creek furnished power for
five -four mills, three chopping mills
two carding mills and five saw mills
Today the same stream supplies only
two -four mills and power for by.
dro-electric plant.
The Mt Jackson area at the time
of it's settlement. according to the
earlier hisotry of the Valley, abound
ed in large game, buffalo, elk, deer
bear. panther. wildcat, wolf, fox
beaver and otter being noted as tht
then denizens of the primeval forest!
which covered the country.

BIG PANTHER TERRORIZEs

A large panther, believed to have
been driven from the mountain Sec
lions by the late forest fires, has been
terrorizing the country folk on the
outskirts of Bristol. Va, for several
nights. 1t was first seen on the farm
of Judge Tyler. short distance from
there Sunday night, and its screams
have been heard in that vicinity
nightly since.
Tuesday night party of hunts
men with dogs chased the beast for
several miles. At one time they were
within SO yards of the animal, but
did not get shot. The panther was
described as one of the largest ever
seen in this section.

JOINT CONFERENCE
OF BOOSTERS
Meeting Held In Bristol OF Officials
OF Publicity Organizations

A joint conference of officials of
the Shenandoah Valley, Inc, The
Southwest Virginia, Inc, and the
East Tennessee, Associated, to be
held at Bristol, Va.-Tenn., is now be-
ing arranged. The purpose of this
conference is to discuss joint plans
and methods of broadcasting the
scenic attractions and resources of
that area that lies between the Blue
Ridge and Allegheny Mountains, ex-
tending from Harpers Ferry and Mar
tinsburg on the north to Knoxville
on the south, distance of 600 miles.
1t is felt by officials of these three
organizations that no other Valley
section in America has as much
varied and beautiful scenery as lies
between the Allegheny and Blue
Ridge Mountains for these 600 miles
The conference, which was suggested
by E. M. Shelly, president of The
East Tennessee. Associated, will take
up the matter of cooperative effort to
bring tourists for this magnificent 600
mile motor ride between these two
stately mountain ranges.
At the northern end of this trail
will be found the proposed site for
the Shenandoah National Park. At
the southern end will be found the
site for the proposed Smoky Noun
tain National Park. Practically the
whole of the 600 miles is traversed
by Outbound macadam highways.
Tourists will pass through the great
apple section of the northern Shenan-
doah Valley, thence to the caverns
section of the central Shenandoah
Valley, by Woodrow Wilson's home
at Staunton, by the tombs of Lee and
Jackson at Lexington, by Natural
Bridge, by wonderful Mill Mountain
at Roanoke, through the magnificent
blue grass cattle gracing ranches in
southwest Virginia, on into Tennes-
see, where the grandeur of the noun
tain scenery is the most beautiful in
the far South.

Because his yellow cur was the
dirtiest "ugliest," the "honeriest,
the most troublesome and the dumb
est in the mutt parade, Howard
Ames won the prize for having the
worst dog" today.
Howard's dog was just a cur, but
it yelped from the time the mutt
parade started at the White House
until it reached the Riding and Hunt
Club, where the Washington dog
show is being held today and tomor-
row.
Twice Apple Sauce" the dogs
name, held up the parade by insisting
on bathing himself in two water
troughs passed on the line of march.
Watson, one of the judges. A fourth
time it went after the trousers of a
policeman.
THE dog was so doggone contrary
that we had to give him the prize,
Watson and Alan Hoffer, judges, de-
clared.
The animal was once yellow, but
through lack of baths for six months
looked the color of dirt. A black left
eye added to it's ugliness.
Several hundred persons gathered
around Lafayette Park when the chill
dren with their dogs assembled, and
crowd thronged Connecticut ave-
nue. along the line of march.
The parade was disorderly. Dogs
insisted on biting each other, running g
out of line, dasaing off for water and
barking. Several baked and their
owners carried them to the show hall.
Many Win Prizes.
Other prizes were. Mrs. L. Fuller,
fattest dog; Miss B. Marshall, small
