a map which was published later
in London. A photostat copy Of this
map can be seen in the collection
of Deli Norona, OF Moundsville, W.
Va, former President of the West
Virginia Historical society. The
Fairfax Stone was reset in CON
nection with the resurvey of 1910.
Deer hunters and perhaps others
have defaced this stone and the top
has been Knocked off No society
is caring for this landmark and
something should be done. An Oak
land surveyor, the late c. Milton
Sincell, was in the party having
charge of the resetting of this
stone.
"A short distance northwest Of
this highest elevation is the source
Of the Ioughiogheny. As from the
Fairfax stone the water flows past
the capital Of the United States, SO
from the spring Of the Youghio-
gheny flows one of the main
streams to form the Ohio at Pitts
burgh which at one time hoped to
be the capital of separate state
vallously named West Augusta,
Nandalla, Nestsylvanla and Pitts
sylvania. The Noughiogheny has
very colorful history.
This river drains most of Gar
rett county. From its source here
to ITS mouth at Mckeesport, Pa. it
Is l23 miles long and has a larger
drainage area than the Cheat which
flows west of 1t in parallel direc
ton.
1.-THE first white settlements
west Of the Allegheny mountains
in Maryland and Pennsylvania were
on the oughlogheny river. Among
them were William Waller Hoye,

/ think the beginning Of Spring
lis just about the busiest time of all
at our house. We always clean the
house, Of course, but in addition we
re-paint walls and woodwork and
re-decorate the rooms with new coll
ors for our walls, slipcovers and
draperies. It's really amazing what
q fresh new color scheme will do for
the home, isn't it?
Another favorite trick of ours is
painting furniture to accent our
new color schemes. Our den, TOR
instance, has 8 wall filled with Sec
tional bookcases which we bought
unfinished and have painted. Our
kitchen table and chairs get 3
bright new color every Spring.
Then, too, we're busily re~-painting
all Of our porch and lawn furni-
ture, getting set for the warmer
months ahead. If you haven't yet
tried painting furniture, do try It
this season its very simple if
you use a good grade Of paint.
got some painting tips from
Hayes Quinn, the color c6nsultant
Of the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Conn
pany, which | thought you might
be interested n particularly for
painting your tables and chairs.
Place the piece upside down on q
protected surface. Then paint from
the leg ends downward, brushing
the enamel lightly as you work.
Next turn the piece upright and
finish the sides. Do your chair
backs and other broad surfaces.
Table tops or chair seats should
be painted last. It's really very sim
pie if you paint this way. / always
use a waterspar enamel for my
painting because it doesn't water

especially important for outdoor
! furniture. You can wash q good
enamel, too keeping it fresh and
bright. We think that painting is
the easiest, most Inexpensive way
there is to re-decorate u home.

agree with us!

AMBASSADOR HENRIK KAUFFMANN

AMBASSADOR Henrik KAUFMAN
PEOPLE Of the Virgin Islands, St. Croix in parti-
cular, were honored by the presence of His Excelency Henrik
Kaufman, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary
who came down from Washington on behalf of the Danish
Government to present repicas of original furniture taken
from the Ball Room of the Government House when the Is
lands were turned over to the United States Government
in 1917.
AMBASSADOR KAUFFMANN is no stranger to Virgin
Islanders here or on the mainland. He visited St. Croix and
St. Thomas just four years ago on the occasion OF the Centen-
NAL Celebration. In New York whenever Virgin Islanders
have a real get-together they usually send him an invitations;
he has always accepted and usually enjoys himself.
o MANY IN these Islands realize, however, that Am
bassador Kaufman is, to quote Administrator Canegatas
own tribute, a statesman, and a diplomat OF world wide re-
pute, indomitable courage, strength of character, sound wis
dom and wise understanding. To enable our readers to know
him better we here quote excerpts from a book entitled Den
marx" published recently by the Royal Danish Ministry for
Foreign Affairs and the Danish Statistical Department:
The Danish Minister to Washington Henrik Kauff-
mann. had taken the line, as the Government in German
occupied Denmark was not a free agent, he must be tree to
look after Danish interests in the United States on his own
account, without being tied to instructions from the Copen-
hagen Government that it was to be feared was under duress.
On April 9, I94l-the anniversary of the German Occupation
he signed on his own account, without authority and purely
by virtue Of his office, treaty with the United States. grant
ing that country the right to establish military bases in Green
land, a decision which was to have the utmost importance to
the conduct Of the war in the North Atlantic. Il goes without
saying that the Danish Government was obliged to dismiss
Kaufman On the Germans demand, but the American Gov
eminent continued to recognize him as Denmarks lawful
representative in the United States.
@As such, Kaufman discharged throughout the war a
number Of important duties connected with the leadership OF
the Free Danish Movement and the representation Of Danish

had been missing by that time 33 days. He immediately notified the authorities.
 The examining physician tcs- tificd that he found no evidence of a blow or foul treatment on the body. It was frozen to the ground, and was recovered with difficulty. An unopened bottle of wine lay beside her where she had apparently been sitting on a piece of railroad iron, suffered a heart attack and fallen for ward. There was no evidence of struggle, and it was assumed that she either died instantly or in a few minutes after slump ing to the ground. Enlarged photographs of the body as found were submitted as evidence. She was known to have been a heavy thinker. As there was no other package with her it was sup posed that after drinking the first bottle of wine and strug- gling up the steep hill, her heart had failed.
 Her age is uncertain. From a former police record it was given as II, but Pete Nicholson insists that she was 59, that in six months she would be 50 years old. They were married 39 years ago and have lived in Seward ever since.
 Funeral arrangements are to be announced.

Scouts Working for Jo mboree Trip

Announcement of A l a k a participation in the Third Ma tional Jamborce of the Boy Scouts of America, to be held during July of 1853 at the Irvine Ranch, near Santa Ana, CalifOr- mia, has gone out to the 80 Scout troops and explorer posts of the Territory. According to the pre- llmlnary plans of the Alaska Councils Jamboree Committee, about 100 boy scouts and eX- plorerS will be permitted to at tend. Two years ago, 52 scouts and leaders went to the Second National JambOrec, held at Val ley Forge, Pennsylvania, where they attracted national attention because of the distance travelled and because of their unusually smart appearance and discipline.
 Scout executive Maurice Pow CTS, professional head of the Boy Scout Movement in the Territory, will be in charge of the Alaska contingent again next summer, and he will be assisted by a staff of seven to ten vol untccr leaders, depending on the actual number of boys at tending.
 It is expected that the trip, including an extended sightsce- ing tour of ten Western States, will take about six weeks, with the party leaving the Territory about June 15 and returning about August 1.
 Scouts and their families will pay each boys way, with each scout being required to earn a reasonable portion of the total cost Boys must be at least 12 l2 years old and less than IS at the time of the JambOree, and they must earn first class scout rank before then, and demonstrate camping and group cooperation skillS before being accepted for the trip.
 A total of about 50,000 Ameri- can and foreign scouts are eX- pected to attend the conclaVe, to be the largest gathering of it's kind ever held.

She had way of getting into the most inaC- cessible places after drinking, he stated. Once, he testified that he had dug her out of hay Shute in the old Alaska Transfer barn. He searched the hillside where he had found her at other times and even tried the cliff overlooking the lagoon, but failed to find her. Police were on the point of having the water main trench opened, believing that she might have fallen in while it was filled with water after heavy rains.
 Wednesday, November 19, a neighbor, Dan Hansen, who was in the habit of bringing in wood and water for Nicholson, while on his neighborly mission, went up the hill above an old shed which oVerlooks the town, to watch some work in the railroad wards.
