ing than where both these are laid
on with very heavy hand.
And it may not be amiss further
to observe, that if the scheme for
establishing a new government on
the Ohio, in the manner talked of,
should ever be affected, these must
be among THE most valuable lands in

ness of soil, and the other advant-
ages above enumerated, but from

Great Kanhawa
George Washington
This article by Washington calls
to our minds his interest in this
section, both as to local settlement
and as to the great advantages to
all concerned of a route for settlers
and trade through this section to
Ohio and the midwest. Washington
lived to see these things accom-
pliShed to an extent that was graf
flying to him, but small to US
Because of the peculiar type used
in this old paper, am not certain
whether the river referred to by
Washington is spelled ''Kanbawa,"
or "Kanhawa." Nor do l know
definitely the location of this river,
but there is some possibility that
Washington was speaking of our Po-
tomac Washington was intensely
interested in the Potomac and its
development, especially as a route
of travel for trade, and we have at
least one other name on record for
this historic stream. The Indians
of one tribe called it "Cohongor-
uton."
1t was on the banks of this stream
that the first settlement of our coun-
ty appeared. 1t was at the mouth of
our well-known Conococheague
Greek, and was known by that name,
but at some later date changed to
Williamsport The spelling of this
word has been a source of testing
and amusement far and wide. Every
Washington County school child has
at some time tried to spell it, and the
game has been enjoyed by our
newspapers. The word has varied
from Governor Sharpe's "Conogs-
gee" through many forms such as
"ConegOchegh," to that of the
Maryland Gazette, which has stuck
to the present accepted spelling.
One of the first settlers in this
county, at least first to secure legal
and documentary title, was Charles
Friend In 1879 he secured what
was probably Washington County's
first grant,-260 acres bordering the
Potomac and the Conococheague, on
its west side. He called his estate
'Sweed's Delight" and two years
AobGl LCS[4NEo Il olliclI ooOlblOiidA
tract that he named Dear Bargain"
The descendants of this family were
supposed to be living near the same
vicinity in recent years.
A contemporary and neighbor of
Friends was Jerimiah Jack, who re-
ceived a 175-acre tract which he
named Jacks Bottom The land in
this section was thereafter quickly
taken up, so that by 1880 there re-
manned only little corner of three
and a half acres. This was claimed
by one of the Friends, Jacob, and
named None Left"
Some of these names, given in
early days by settlers to their wild
erness claims, have persisted to this
day

retirement from the game, baseball has done nothino

the day Chandler has already set aside to honor the
Sultan of Swat, who is now recuperatinr from a

There is not much we can add to the suggestion of
the Paterson News -. We can only give the idea our
endorsement and hope that all fans will rally to aid in
the drive to recognize the famous Babe.
In these troubled times, especially along the base
ball front, when charges and counter charges are be-

surely needed to help bring about a better understand
