The supervisors of Loudoun county
have rescinded their recent action in re-
gard to the fruit tree inspection and
farm demonstration work of this county.
Al recent meeting the position of fruit
tree inspector which was held by l.. C..
James was consolidated with that of farm
demonstration agent, and Howard NJ
Hoge. who held the latter position, was
appointed to discharge the duties of both.
II now appears that the supervisors have
reason to believe they went beyond their
authority in their former action, and that
the appointment of tree inspector is made
by the state entomologist. The matter
now stands as it did in the first arrange
ment. Mr.. James holding the position Of
tree inspector. while the demonstra-
ton work is under the charge of Mr..
Hoge.

POWER BOATS START LEAKING.
The Harriet and the George E. Will
Re Repaired.

The power launch Harriet, one of the
local fleet of pleasure craft, which was
lying at Regan's boathouse for the winter.
started leaking Friday night, and yester-
day when the men arrived at the boat
house she was full of water. She was
pumped out and raised and will be placed
on the railway to be overhauled.
The auxiliary power boat George E.,
another of the Washington-owned pleas
ure craft, lying at the Capital Yacht
Club berth, also started leaking Friday
night and became water-logged. She was
raised yesterday and will be hauled out
for necessary repairs. 1t is stated that
the low water caused the vessel to hang
on the edge of a bank and careen, and
this caused her to fill. 1t is thought that
neither vessel Is much injured beyond
receiving good soaking.

PARTIALLY IDENTIFIED.
Vessel in Potomac Probably
the Flattie TaWes.

The two-masted schooner reported by
the lighthouse authorities as being
sunk in the river near Lower Cedar
point beacon light is probably the fiattie
named Tawes, which went down in a
heavy gale the early part Of November.
No information has been received In
shipping circles here Of any other vessel
having been sunk and vessel masters
here are confident that the Tawes is
the sunken craft.
She was small oyster dredger hailing
from Crisfield, Md, and at the opening
of the oyster season started dredging
in the Potomac. In a heavy gale she
started dragging across the river and her
master attempted to get her under way
to work across the Virginia shore, but
she filled and sank before he could
get sail on her. The crew were taken
off by companion vessel that was
working with her.
The fact that the vessel was an OBJ
struction to navigation has been reported
and she will probably be destroyed by
the U. s. engineers in charge OF the
river within the next few weeks.
