Wills Creek Flows North
A Sluggish Stream

Many residents of this vicinity are
uniformed where the headwaters
of Wills creek which caused consid-
erable damage during the times Of
high water, originate and where it
flows into the Muskingum river.
Wills creek is one of the few
streams in the world which flows
north against the watershed. For
this reason it's fall is exceedingly
small and its flow is sluggish, fol-
lowing a winding course generally
from south to north. The stream
originates from drainage from Sec
tions of Guernsey, Belmont and No
BILE counties resulting from the
Barnesyille and Mt. Ephraim water
sheds
Entering Guernsey county south
east of Senecaville, the stream pass
es near Senecaville, Buffalo and
Byesville in reaching Cambridge
and then continues north via Old
hams Station and Kimbolton. 1t en-
ters Coshocton county north Of
Birds Run and passes through Mus
kingum county before reaching the
Muskingum river about four miles
northwest of the village of Wills
Greek, passing through Plainfield
enroute.
Wills creek reservoir, near the
mouth of the stream, is being built
in both Coshocton and Muskingum
counties, the boundary line being at
that point Because of it's winding
course and sluggish flow, Wills
creek overf1ows lowlands over the
area through which it travels

STRAIGHT FROM WASHINGTON
(By Stephen NJ. Young)
National Conventions

Republicans will hold their ma
tional convention next June, prob
ably in some mid-western city. They
wish a "grass-roots" background.
San Francisco is striving for the
convention and will pay large sum
of money This effort is futile be-
cause Palo Alto is too close. Re-
publican leaders feel that the fur
ther away they get from Herbert
Hoover the better. The Democratic
convention will be held in July,
probably at Atlantic City. The
convention will be ratification
meeting and jubilee, renominating
Roosevelt and Garner by acclama-
ton. Therefore, Democrats will be
better pleased if they are at a sum
mer resort city. Ordinarily, for
purposes of policy, Democrats would
hold their convention in some mid
western city. Leaders feel that 1t
does not make any difference as
matters now stand.

This time with the British
goading the sayages on in a des
perate effort to turn the tide OF
the War of 1912 toward victory,
it was impossible to head of the

stole out Of the fort unseen at
sundown, and in five hours made
his way through trackless forests
to the distant camp Within a
few moments after his arrival,

Today monuments TO Johnny
Appleseed in Mansfield ard Ash
land, like the hundreds Of apple
orchards that still thrive along
the Ohio countryside where he
planted them as seedlings, give
the tourist an insight into the
character of one of the rarest per.
sonalities of the pioneer days. Il
is we'll worth the trip for a view
of these monuments, stroll

A band of red-men, with fire.
arms and ammunition furnished
by the British, were surrounding
the little garrison inside a block
house at Mansfield, preparing for
an attack which the settlers
could not hope to repel.
Jonathan Chapman, the John
ny Appleseed of Ohio legend,
whose orchard paintings through
out the frontier wilderness had
won him the Indians confidence
and a welcome at every settlers
cabin, learned what was afoot.
Many times before he had been
able to prevent a raid by coun-
selling with the Indians, who
knew him as their friend because
he never carried firearms.

Howard G, Hopson, public utility
magpate who took nearly three
million dollars of his stockholders
money in bonuses attempted to
dodge subpoena servers of the SEN
ate lobby investigation. They are
now grilling him. He favors regu-
lation Of holding companies, and op-
poses the Wheeler-Rayburn bill.
The fact that industry itself did not
prevent such frauds really has made
Intervention by the government ad-
visable.
Congressman Charles V. Truax
was one of the nations hardest
working lawmakers He faithfully
represented in an outstanding man
ner the principles he believed in.
His first speech in the house of rep
resentatives was in behalf of the
farmers But an hour before his
death he urged legislation for farm
ers. Had congress adjourned ear
lier he would be alive today. He
never complained about the length
Of the session nor the blistering
heat OF Washington. He knew his
duty to the people who had elected
him and worked untiringly to the
end. He had a quick mind, keen
intellect and was an orator of note.
The nation and state lost faithful
public official. Whenever the Dionne
quintupIets are mentioned, members
Of congress will remember that

CGrnnrOmiSe Bonus PrOpOSal

Frequently in this column it was
stated that the Patman bonus bill
would not be enacted into law dur
ing the present session of congress.
President Roosevelt is opposed to in
fation. The prediction was conf
IDENTIFY made and is now made that
the soldiers bonus will be compro-
missed next winter. The compro-
mise proposal that will be enacted
into law may change the maturity
date, of the adjusted compensation
certificates from 1916 to 1888, on
the theory that adjusted compensa-
ton certificates should have been
dated from the armistice instead of
1925. Veterans holding compensa-
ton certificates until November IL,
1888, would get the full face value.
Those cashing certificates in 1896
would have to accept a small dis
count for advance payment. This
compromise will be welcomed by all
veterans who are in need. Those
$4,000 veterans who have not even
borrowed upon their certificates,
and the many thousands of other
ex-service men who are income tax
payers would doubtless wait until
1888 The compromise plan will
provide for a bond issue to pay the
bonus, instead of printing press
money.
