NO TRUTH IN RUMOR.
Capt. Morrow's Appointment Not a
Temporary One.

Gen. Mackenzie chief Of engineers, said
today that there Is no foundation in the
rumor that the appointment of Capt. Nor
row as Engineer Commissioner Of the Dis
trict was only temporary. and that another
officer will be given that assignment in
three or four months. He said the detail
Of Capt. Morrow is as permanent as such
details ever are. and while he could not
say positively that Capt. Morrow would
remain on duty with the District govern
ment for the usual term OF four years, he
certainly would hold the office of Engineer
Commissioner during the remainder of his
(Gen. Mackenzie's) term as chief Of engi-
neers. beyond which time, of course. he
could say nothing.
Gen Mackenzie will retire from office on
account OF age In May. 18OS. and all details
In the Corps of Engineers after that date
will be In the hands of the officer who may
be chosen TO succeed him as CHIEF Of en-
gineers. Gen. Mackenzie said that there
Is no more reason. however, to expect a
change in the Office Of Engineer Commits
sioner at that time than In any other Office
filled by an engineer officer.
Capt. Morrow had an interview with Gen.

Great Thino For Fruit Growers.

1t would be a great thing for fruit
growing if the market would distin-
guish sharply between apples for diff
ferent purposes Apples that are not
recommendable for dessert may still
be very useful for many other pur-
poses. It is not SO much a question
of not growing apples of different
grades of quality as of finding the
proper uses for these grades. / think
it is a mistake at the present time
to recommend that certain apples be
not grown merely because they are
not of high eating quality-L. Fl. Bal
