Introduction gives q complete picture
of the Indians physique, habits, char
acteristics, and religious beliefs
The body of the book, about 300
pages, gives us an authentic, first
hand account Of the settlement, war
fare and massacres - between the
Whites and the Indians. Among the
most impressive portions of the book
are: (D The Battle of Point Pleasant
and the death of Chief Cornstalk and
his son Ellinpinisco (2) The Massacre
Of the Moravian Indians by the
whites at Gnadenhutten GU The
heroism Of Elizabeth Zane when her
father Col. Zane was in charge Of the
Fort at Wheeling, w. Va Mr. Withers
does not hesitate to point out that
Great Britain used the Indians as a
fifth column. They paid the Indians
$500 fol every white scalp-and fur
nished them with firearms and fire
water. The object was to harry the
border-country- the colon
lists, and prevent them from helping
their brethren along the coast. This
same Interpretation is to be heard by
a few of the very old residents of this
region-who were given the facts in
direct family line from pioneer days
There is also an identical account
of the Snowy Greek Massacre (near
Hutton) as found in the writings of
Phillip Doddridge. | am inclined to
believe that Doddridge copied from
Withers.
The incident that held the most APP
peal for me, because of having been a
local occulrence-was the desertion of

Mrs. Conneway spoke of her grand
father with a vivid memory. She said
that when he was mere lad his
family settled at Underwood (nOW the
Luther Nine falm) For three con-
secutive autumns the family was
forced to abandon their home for sew
eral days-and repair with other set
tler-families to Fort Gortner in order
to defend themselves against the
Indians. 1t was at the time of the
Shawnee War largely brought about
thru the death of Cornstalk In spring
and autumn the Indians would mi
CRATE across the mountains as they
went from their hunting grounds in
the Ohio and Potomac Valleys. Com
ing on defenceless settlers they would
murder and plumber if they had the
chance Mrs. Conneway said that the
term Indian Sumner" (Nov. 1st-to

Indians than they were of balmy

four British soldiers from Fort Pitt
in 1861 They took shelter from their
pursuers in the Yough Glades. They
were: William Childers. John and
Samuel Pringlc, and Joseph Linsey
Childers and Linsey were later cap
turcd-but the Pringles escaped. The
first time they spent about , months
the second time about four years
here in the Glades Subsequently they
went to the South Branch Valley, in
duced some settlers there to make
the journey over the mountains and
established themselves permanently in
what is now Buckhannon, w Va. So
far as we know the first white men
ever to set feet in our county were
John and Samuel Pringle, deserters
from the British Army, and John
Simpson, trapper. The Pringles first
met Simpson in the Yough Glades-
and he actually is the first we have
any record of.
1t was but few days after my visit
with the Trembleys that I had occa-
sion to visit Mr. and Mrs. Dan Come

town. Mrs. Conneway was Sarah Jane
Ashby, granddaughter of William
Ashby. She spoke Of her grandfather,
who was born about 1880 in a Fort
near what is now Gortner. Whether
this was a Fort in the proper sense
with an open court, surrounded by
high impaling; or a Block-house, such
as was used for the same purpose at
Friendsville, am at loss to know

Transportation Of Gasoline To Alaska Studied

WASHINGTON - Petroleum Coordinator Haro d L. Ickes took steps 10 provide supplementary means to transportation of gaso- lire and other petroleum pro- ducts to the Pacific northwest and Alaska.
 Washington, Oregon and Alas ka ordinarily are supplied by tanker ships from California.

NAVY BASE BIDS WILL BE CALLED

KETCHIKAN-Plans for con- struction of a navy section base here this winter have arrived and contractors will be contact ed with a view to early construc- tion, Commander F. A. Zeusler of coast Guard headquarters said recently on his return from Wash ington, D. C. Commander Zeus- Ter arrived on the Alaska.
 Commander Zuesler said he hoped to have bids in by the end of this month so that the pro- ject can get under way soon af- forwards.
 The second base will include a 400-foot dock, which will be biult south of the coast guard de pot; toolmakers' building, store house, garage, small recreation center and miscellaneous build ings, he said.
 Bids for construction of a radio station at Point Higgin for the navy will be solicited within a month, he said. The project, ap- proved at $225,OO0 several months ago for the coast guard, probably will cost more than that, said Commander Zeusler.
 The station will have three main concrete buildings and several wooden buildings. The receiving building and two trans hitter buildings will be built of concrete. There also will be a storehouse, garage and quarters for eight men.
 While in Washington, D. C., Commander Zeusler assisted Ret chikan by working for approval of various projects for which fed eral aid is sought.
 He believes Ketchikan's latest pending request - $7,500 for building a garbage dump will be granted. but thinks that may not be enough money for the pro ject.

1t looks like they've got grandma

as the young girls.
The War Production Board
shealed the extra yards off grand
mas homemade skirts today by
ordering her paper patterns 10
conform TO the measurement re-
strictions already applying 10
ready-made garments.
Gone are the extra billowy
sleeves, the extra sweeping skirts
that women with dreSsmaking tai
ent were able TO f1aunt in the faces
of their less talented sisters who
have to buy their clothes ready
made.
After Sept. l. 1912, no manu-
facturer may make a master pat
tern that exceeds the maximum
for other-than-wool
fabrics in the previous general
order. The other more
severe restrictions on wool fabrics
were not included in the new
order.

.0PA 10 Clamp
Ceiling on Hogs

WASHINGTON, Aug. 81 tINS),
Plans to establish a price ceiling
on hogs were announced today by
the Office of Price Administra-
ton. Officials said that ceiling
prices for cattle are contemplated
for the near future"
The OPA said that the ceiling
procedure would be worked out in
conjunction with producers and
then submitted TO Secretary of
Agriculture Wickard for approval.
Under the price control act, the
consent Of the secretary of agri-
culture is required before price
ceilings are placed on raw COM
modities.
Announcement OF forthcoming
price ceilings for hogs and cattle
was made shortly after Price Ad-
Iministrator Leon Henderson had
conferred with livestock producers
and rejected their protests against
such action.
OPA officials have sought cell
ings on livestock for some time.
pointing out that both hogs and
cattle were at nearly 100 per cent
of parity--far above the price at
which they must sell before cell
lingS can be established, according
TO provisions of the price control
act.
Independent packers have urged
for some time that ceilings be
placed on livestock. contending
that soaring prices combined with
price ceilings on their processed
meat were squeezing" many pack
ers out of business.
