burned the Capitol at Richmond
years ago. 1t is due to the confidence
in his belief that this was not the
case Of Col j. William DeGrange and
his interchangeable work and interest in
searching for these lost records that
resulted in them being found. They
were found in the possession of H. G.
Shirley, chairman of the Virginia
State Highway Commission. They
were turned over to him by Henry
Shriver, of Cumberland, whose ances-
tor, Joseph Shriver, made the notes
in 1S19-1S21. They are now in the
possession of the War Department
and photostat copies have been made
of them in anticipation of requests
being made for them by officials in
the states of Maryland, Pennsylvania
and West Virginia. Col. DeGrange is
West Virginian who has been in
charge of the records of the engi-
neers' bureau at the War Department
for 35 years. He was one of the
organizers of the West Virginia
Society in Washington, which heads
the list of State organizations here as
having the largest membership, and
has been an officer in the society ever
since it was founded.

In the year 1918 a celebration was
planned to mark the centenniel of the
bridge, but owing to the War the ac-
tivities of the committee having the
matter in hand were abandoned. Some
years ago, the old structure, which
had fallen into decay was restored to
its original grandeur and remains
through the years a point of interest
for tourists and source of pride to
the people of not only Grantsville but
to those of Garrett county because
of memories, associations and historic
interest.

stories as it is more than an hundred
years old, having been built in 1918
by David Shriver, a contractor of
Cumberland. The Shrivers in those
days. helped make history in Western
Maryland. Al the time the bridge was
erected Garrett county was a part of
Allegany county. Many Of the Shriver
descendants are still living and taking
an active part in affairs of the two
counties. Mrs. Z. Fun1enberg, of Oak
land, is a member Of the family.

that the pike in Ohio county should
be sc feet wide, 33 feet on either side
of a central line, but there was no way
to ascertain the central line. 1t can
now readily be established since the
finding of the original survey field

commodation. The National Pike is
the most Travelled highway, it is be-
lieved, Of any of the great roads; if
not the most Travelled, one among the
NEST used. 1t is used at all seasons,
but in the six months auto tourists

it, almost continuous lines of motor
vehicles moving from east to west,
west to east.
1t was for many years believed
that the original survey field notes
had been destroyed in a fire which

There is perhaps no landmark on
the old National Highway about which
centers so much interest as the old
stone bridge that spans the classic
Cassclman River, one miles east of
Grantsville, Garrett county.
This old bridge has been widely
photographed, the picture of the
stately arch appearing at different
times in many of the outdoor maya
zines and good roads periodicals with
different bits Of history concerning it.

 We received your welcome letters and were glad to get them.
 will tell you a few things about Seattle and myself.
 Seattle is about one of the best cities on the coast. At least the people that live here think so. Seattle has good harbor and gets lots of trade from the Orient. There are many docks on the water front. There is a great deal of dairying out side of the city. Instead of raising deer we raise lots of cattle from which we get milk and butter and cheese.
