recommended consisted of a convert

sprinkling cart, water hauler, slip
scrapers and split-log road drags,
the latter light enough to be drawn
byltwo horses. The steam tractor
could be run on an average cost of

mate submitted, and the outfit cost
not more than $1,000.

Deming is especially interested in
good roads because it is on the Bor-

the year round in New Mexico, and
because its agricultural interests
demand good highways for the

WASHINGToN's SURVEY
GETS GOVERNMENT o. X.
From the Forest Service, U. S.
Department Of Agriculture.

Government surveyors, who
aave just been checking up some
Of the lines reputed to have been
run by George Washington in his
days of chain and compass work,
have found them good.
About 1851, according to tradi-
ton, George Washington, then
10 years old, ran out for Lord
Thomas Fairfax the line be-
tween what was then to be
Augusta and Frederick counties,
Virginia, this being only a part
of a great deal of surveying
which he is said to have been en-
gagged upon at that time. These
two counties were separated
from what was then Orange
county, and the grant to Lord
Fairfax was supposed to extend
westward to the Pacific ocean
Subsequently these large tracts
We're further subdivided, SO that
the Fairfax line" as it is gen
orally known, runs now between
Rockingham and Shenandoah
countless, with the original Au-
gusta and Frederick counties to
The south and north respectively.
In the organic act for the for
nation of the two counties. or
parishes" as they were then
called, it was required that the
lime should be a straight one
from the head spning of Hedg-
man river, one of the sources of
the Rappahannock, TO the head
spring OF the Potomac.
Since it was required that the
line should be straight it was
lirst necessary to get the approx
course by building large
honfifes ON the intervening high
points. Then startng from the
top of the Massanutten noun
the line was run straight
over Intervening mountains
rivers toward the northwest.

Away off across a part of what
Is now West Virginia there is a
rock known today as the
Stone. 1t is the monu-S
ment which marks the southwest

las been assumed that, in run
long this line. a high peak north
west of Orange court house was
! the starting point, and that from
here it was possible to see a dis
tant peak in the North noun
tam range over the top Of the
Intervening Massanutten noun
itain.
Washington, OF course, used a
simple compass, and his line
could not be expected to check
absolutely with that obtained by
the government surveyors who
have retraced his survey, using
high-power transits and all the
refined and accurate methods
which modern instruments allow.
Nevertheless, the line was run
SO carefully in the first place
that but little variation has been
found in it. Even without IN
struments it sis possible to dis
tnguish the course Of the line
with surprising distinetness.
From the top Of Middle Noun
tain in the Massanutten range,
the Shenandoah Rockingham, Of
Fairfax, line can be readily fol-
lowed by means of the boundary
fences dating from earliest days,
and by the blocks of timber, al
ternately cleared away or left
standing, which come up from
either county and stop at the
line, like squares in a checker
BOARD. Then if one turns to
the southeast the same demarka-
tons are plain across the valley
Of the south fork of the Shenan-
doah, cutting straight through
the present Page county, which
is made Of land formerly IN
Shenandoah county, belonging to
the FlaiHfax grant, and partly
from land formerly in Rock
ingham. Thus, as far as the eye
can see in either direction, this
cid line shows plainly.
The Washington compass, now
to be seen at the U. S. national
museum in the city named for
its owner, is presumed 10 be The
same one used in rlming this
Inc more than 100 years ago.

The town of Whitepost, Clarke
county, Va, takes its name from
a post presumed to have been
set BY Washington as one Of his
survey marks. Tie post, for
merry exposed, is now covered
by a protecting case which shell
tiers it from the weather, and
from the despoiling hand of the
vadal tourist.
WHY THE LINE Is RE
TRACED.
The reason that this old Wash
ington survey line is being re-
traced is because the federal
government is purchasing lands
in this neighborhood, IN con
nection with the new Appalachian
which are being acquir-
at the headwaters of naviga-
ble streams, under the terms Of
the Weeks law designed to
protect these watersheds from the
evils Of deforestation. The gov
requires a clear title
before the land can be paid for.
IN making sure of the TITLES it
IS necessary, in many cases, to
20 back to original royal grants,
on to colonial records, and to
recourse to ~resurveys pc
fore the facts of ownership can
be indisputably established.
