Thomas Barrett - the kindcst,
dearest father a little girl had
over had-but they had put rope
around his neck and hanged him
until he was dead.
Joan and her mother had felt
the same rope about their own
neckS, choking out their very
souls, cutting them off from that
other life they loved better than
their own. Not only that morn
ing, but during all the long years
after, they would awaken in the
middle of the night, terrified by a
dream of that rope around their
ncckS, choking out life.
In San Francisco, the courts
had decided that Thomas Barrett
had killed a man. He had killed
man who had been his friend,
and stolen that mans money.
Joan knew, and her mother
knew. that Thomas Barrett had
never in all his life harmed a liv-

Happy dreams, How easy Il Was
for Bob to suggest that. He dld
not know how terrible dreams
might be. Life to him was all sum

goodness of tomorrow. For HIM
there was no ugly yesterday which
still conjured in a tired mind
nightmares of misery and despair
and fear, casting their menacing
shadows over every hope for the
future, and filling each tomorrow
with uncertainty an dterror.

Maryland and Virginia authorized

Washington was motivating
force in the clearing of the James
River and the building of the
Potomac Canal. He had a concept
of the United States as a great
commercial unit, and he believed
water transportation to be a
necessary factor in realizing that
dream. Washington. indeed, might
be called the first land undoubt-
edly the most reputable) of that
mighty band of empire builders
who were later to develop great
systems of transportation that
now tie east and west together
with inseparable links of steel and
water and concrete highway
The National Capital City was
founded by Washington He was
Imperial Valley press., 1937-02-21

the man behind the scenes during
the selection of the site and in
planning the streets and build
ings in detail. On September 18.
1898 he personally laid the cor
nerstone of the city which bears
his name, and which we might ex-
pect to stand for centuries, liv-
ing monument to the wisdom,
foresight, and energy of George
Washington.
THESE are but few of the
facets of this many-sided per-
sonality. His familiarity with the
law. his unceasing production as
a man of letters, his shrewd busi-
ness abilities, his extensive trav-
els, = all these form part of
the complex character that was
Washington. One quality, how
ever, deserves more than passing
mention-his amazing brilliance
as military genius, a brilliance
that is to often overshadowed by
the illustrious public career which
embellished the later years of his
life.
Washington's early military ex-
ploits were a part of his frontier
days. At 81 he was commissioned
to march through the wilderness
on a difficult mission to Ft. LIE
Boeuf. At % he was distinguished
Imperial Valley press., 1937-02-21

by Braddock in being selected on
the generals personal staff. At 26
he led the advance guard of
Forbes army through the wilder
ness to capture Ft. Duquesne
(now Pittsburgh.
In 1853, however, these expedi-
tions against the French and In
dians were over and Washington
retired to the peace of his Virginia
plantations. Then came the Revol-
ution. On June Is, 1775, Washing
ton, then in his 44th year, was
made commander-in-chief of the
Continental armies.
It was no sinecure. The Colo
MES were unskilled in war, unpre-
pared, without money. allies, or
credit. For eight dreary winters
Washington struggled to hold to-
gether with nothing an army
built out of nothing. Up and down
the length of the colonies he led
his men, an army constantly de-
pleted, constantly shifting under
the disastrous system of short en-
listments. It was a heart-breaking
trail of battle, defeat, withdrawal,
and defense. And yet Washington
achieved the smpossible. BY his
supreme military genius he car
ried the Revolution to it's trium-
phant conclusion.
Imperial Valley press., 1937-02-21

which added appreciable acreage
to his farms. To the large Dismal
Swamp reclamation project, start
ed in 1853, Washington gave much
time and attention for some five
years and for rs years attended
meetings of the board.
Most important, however, of
Washington's engineering hobbies
was his interest in canals and
waterways and in the develop
ment of transportation. Washing
ton viewed the new nation in the
large and with the eye of build
er, almost promoter. He saw
the unsettled West, not as track
less wilderness, but a land await
ing to be peopled, with great nav
igable rivers, the future highways
Of commerce. To the problems of
transportation he gave profound
thought, as well as time and
money. He urged upon Governor

time forward chusing rather to
sleep in y open Air before a fire
as will appear hereafter. :"
Such was Washington's first
trip to the frontier in the Spring
of 174S.
NCE off the trail, however,
anG back at his Virginia
plantations. we see totally diff
ferent Washington. No more the
pioneer frontiersman, he slips
gracefully into the sparkling life
of the polished socialite. Accus-
toned on his frontier trips to long
hard days in the saddle. he now
travels with coach and four. his
outriders in the Washington liv-
cry. His home is furnished with

satins of the finest. And he him
self is a distinguished figure, finely
proportioned. smartly turned out,

lavish hands of the Virginia gen.
tleman.
Washington's estate was con-
siderable. His father, upon his
death, had left three estates, one
to each son. Until the boys came
of age all estates were in the
hands of their mother, Mary Ball
With the death of his older bro
ther Lawrence in 1852. George
fell heir to the Mount Vernon es-
tate as well as his own. His wealth
was further augmented by his
marriage to Martha Custis in
1853, a widow with two small
children and considerable means,
a woman of breeding. refinement,
and social poise.
nEHIND the gentleman land
O owner and sportsman, how
ever, we see a totally different
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. side of this
character of many opposites. For
although he was born to wealth
and accustomed to the service of
others, Washington displayed a
marvellous aptitude as a practical
dirt farmer. He was probably
Americas first scientific" farmer.
With five going plantations un-
der his control, he devoted much
time to the business management
of his estates. He was a great ad-
mirer of the English system of
estate management, and even i'm
ported from England in 1876, one
James Bloxham, a practical farm
er, as manager of his estates. This
was a somewhat doubtful expert
ment. Mr.. Washington, at first,
was disappointed for he said that
Mr.. Bloxham had improper ideas
and seemed not prepared to meet
the ruinous course of cropping,
exhausted lands, and numberless
inconvenience caused by the eight
years of war.
Mr.. Bloxham, in turn, expresses
his sentiments in the matter by
writing, IT rot in my other Letter

thinke it is not worth while for I
think that I Shall not Stay no
Longer than my yeare is up which

Shall Leave the Contrey ass son
ASS Can" Matters evidently i'm
proved later, for his wife and
family came over; and he re-
mained with the General until
1901 and then settled on his own
land.
TURNING from Washington as
a practical dirt farmer, we dis
cover yet another totally different
aspect of his character in the En-
gineer and Builder. For this, his
early training as surveyor serv-
ed as fitting introduction. From
plotting the wilderness it is but
a step to building roads, construct
ing bridges, draining swamps, and
similar engineering projects. Thus
Washington almost unconsciously
developed engineering instincts
which he turned to good account
in the improvement of his own
acres as well as in the public
welfare.
One of his major interests was
the reclamation of rich farm lands
through drainage projects, one of
