Rear Admiral Stanford
Tells Of VituI Role
Played by Potomac

A history of the Potomac, and
particularly an account of the early
struggle to build a freight canal be-
tween tidewater and frontier settle
men.s in the interior, has just been
published by the Princeton Press.
Rear Admiral Homer Reed Stanford,
u. S. NJ, retired. is the author.
The story of the pioneers who
helped to plan, build and operate the
old Chesapeake and Ohio Canal in
the face of many difficulties was
prepared by Admiral Stanford for
delivery at a recent meeting of the
Washington Committee of the New
come Society, group formed in
England to promote research and
the study of material history.
The river was a part of George
Washington's early boyhood. and in
maturity his surveyors knowledge of
the watercourse aided in the de-
velopment of the canal.
Perhaps the first 20 realize the
possibilities of boat route between
Potomac tideWater and the waters
which flow westward into the Ohio
was Thomas Cresap, a Yorkshireman
who about 1740 built a fortified
home on bluff overlooking the Po-
tomac few miles below the present
city of Cumberland.
He found, with the aid of In
dians, an easy pass through the
mountains to waters draining into
the Ohio. Later, he built boat,
loaded it with furs and descended
the tortuous 200 miles of Potomac
between his home and tidewater.
He moved on South to Williams
burg.
Company Organized in 174S.
Cresap sold the colonistS on the
possibility of establishing a profit
able trade with the Indians and
the settlement of colonies across
the mountains. In 1748 the ohio
Company" was organized, "the most
powerful of all pre- Revolutionary
trade corporations and the first
incorporated effort to reach the
great West"
Cresap and Indians blaZed a trail
from near Cumberland across the
mountains to the Monongahela
River, a route later followed by
Washington, by Braddock, by the
National Pike and by railroad en-
gineers.
Interested Jefferson.
In letter to Washington, Thomas
Jefferson agreed that nature had
/ favored the Potomac as a through
channel for the trade of Ohio, and
that which would come into it
from the Mississippi.
In 1874 Jefferson urged haste as
the Hudson River already was
rival. Washington visited the
mountains to report to the Govern
ors of Maryland and Virginia on
the possibility of opening the Po-
tomac to navigation.
The PotoWmack Co was organized
in 1785 to build locks around Great
and Little Falls and a roadway
through the mountain pass WASH
ington was named first President
and held that post for four years.
Then started the long struggle
with new engineering problems,
with floods, frosts and ice jams, labor
and financial difficulties. In 200

Midwest Is Studied
Leaders From 10 Central
States Meet in Chicago
To Review Compoign
BY the Associated Press.

0y tHe ASsVCldtcu I1eobs
CHICAGO, Dec. 14.-Republican
officials from 10 Central States today
considered a suggestion that they
organize and make concerted move
to place the party's leadership in
the Midwest.
The meeting was closed but one of
the conferees reported that q pro-
posal for forming permanent Or
ganization had been advanced. Such
a step might be taken, he added, ito
put the Republican leadership where
it belongs-in the Middle West"
He pointed out that the party had
showed its greatest strength in the
Middle West in the November elec-
ton.
The leaders also reviewed cam
paigns in the various States to de-
termine the strong and weak points
in the party's policies and discussed
means of improving the relationship
between the national and State
committees
Chairmen of Republican commit
tees from all Central States were
invited to the parley by Ben l..
Berve, head of the Illinois commit
tee, to consider mutual problems.
Mr.. Berve said that ne felt the
initiative in the party should be
taken by leaders in the central bloc
of States because of Republican
strength in this area.
He asserted that the MidWeStern-
ers were not trying to dictate" to
the national committee, but were
endeavoring to give it more active
cooperation. In this connection, he
urged the conferees to keep the
party machinery in their States
operating actively between elections.
Mr.. Berve said other State chiefs
might be invited to join those who
attended the current sessions. Harry
B. Swan, Iowa chairman, invited the
conferees to meet in Des Moines
next month during the gathering Of
Young Republicans.

miles the turbulent river falls some
100 feet, and the locks at the
highest falls presented new prob
lens for the engineers.
Nevertheless, development work
was sufficiently advanced by 1899
to enable the 6O-foot canal boats
to navigate the whole distance
except for a 5OO-foot stretch at
Great Falls. Traffic on the canal
grew. Boats made the round trip
in II days.
Canal 1856 Miles Long.
Much cargo was moved, but the
financial condition of the company
grew worse. In 1922 application
was made for a new company to
SuperSede the use of the natural
bed of the river with navigable
canal from tidewater to Cumber-
land and possibly to connect with
the Ohio River.
The canal as built is 1856 miles
long, all lying in Maryland with
the exception of the terminus in
the District.
The later and larger boats usually
were towed by two or three mules,
which were stabbed aboard at night.
The improved waterway was COM
pleted to Cumberland in 1850. How
ever, the railroad had reached
Cumberland seven years earlier and
the Ohio River shortly later. With
rail service faster by many miles
an hour than water service, the
thought of further extending the
canal had to be abandoned
Growing competition, political
pressure and the cost of maintaining
the waterway gradually cut down
the company's revenues. Two years
