HOW ABOUT A LIBRARY
Many Cities Smaller than Pennington
sHave Public Libraries Why
Not Here?

\ gentleman Of Pennington was
heard to remark the other day that
Pennington ought to have n good
library. Certainly this is fact, and
the excellent side Of the matter is
that it is not an m possibility
In that no one of wealth has seen
fit in dispensing this worlds goods
to establish and endow such an insti-
tuition here there remains yet the
method of securing one through Mr..
Carnegie's help. Many cities have
awaited themselves of this method
and have excellent libraries Mt the
service of the entire community
where such institutions happen to be
placed.
1t would seem with the many
students that are here In the High
School, the Seminary, the College,
the Music School and Business
College that there ought to be just
such an institution in our midst.
1t certainly Is u matter worthy the
attention and consideration of all
those interested in the public wei.
fare. 1t is not the purpose Of this
brief article to point the way OF
securing such an institution, but
rather to call attention to the ex,
listing need.

;the course Of the line with surpris-
ing distinctness. From the top OF
Middle Mountain in the Massanutten
range, the SHENANDOAH Rocking
ham, or Fairfax, line can be readily
followed by means of the boundary
fences dating from earliest days,
and by the blocks of timber, alter
nately cleared away or left standing,
which come up from either county
aud stop at the line, like squares in
a cneckerboard. Then If one turns
to the southeast the same denmark
ations are plain across the valley Of
the south fork of the Shenandoah,
cutting straight through the present
Page county, which Is made OF land
| formerly in Shenandoah county, be-
longing to the Fairfax grant, and
partly from land formerly in Rock
| ingham. Thus, as far as the eye
can see in either direction, this old
line shows plainly.
The Washington compass, now to
be seen ut the L. $. national museum
In the city named for its owner, Is
presumed to be the same one used
in running this line more than 100
| years ago.
Washington's Survey Marks.
The Fairfax Stone stands as IL
permanent monument. In addition,
there are, throughout that section
of the country, various other rec
ords OF these Washington surveys.
For example, large white OAK
which stands at the corner Of "A
farm about ~ miles from Lost
City, Hardy county, w. Va, was,
according to persistent story of
that section of the country, marked
by Washington.
Survey blazes cut into trees, and
since grown over, have been cut
away, and count of the annual
layers of growth over the old
wounds shows them to have been
made at the time Washington was
surveying. One strange thing about
these blazes is that they are several
feet higher than those put on trees
by woodsmen Of today. This fact
has given rise to sort of supersti-
ton that Washington, known to
have been very tall, was actually n
giant. Other authorities have said
that Washington did much of his
work on horseback, and made his
blazes with a long-handled AK from
the saddle.
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. The post, formerly exposed,
il now covered by protecting case
which shelters 1t from the weather,
and from the despoiling hand Of the
yandal tourist.
Why the Line is Rctraced
The reason that this old Wash
ington survey line is being retraced
is because the federal government
is purchasing lands in this neigh
borhood, in connection with the new
Appalachian forests which are be-
ing acquired at the headwaters OF
navigable streams, under the terms
of the Weeks law, designed to pro-
tect these watersheds from the evils
of deforestation. The government
requires clear title before the land
can be paid for. In making sure OF
the titles 1t Is necessary, in many
cases, to 60 back to original royal
grants, or to colonial records, and
TO have recourse to resurveys be
fore the facts of ownership can be
indispntabiy established.

COLONIAL LANDMARKS
Surveyors in the Government Service
Run Lines Marked Out by Geo.
Washington.

Government surveyors, who have
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 175l. according to tradition,
George Washington, ;, then 10 years
old, ran out for LoId Thomas Fair
fax the line between what was then
TO be Augusta and Frederick coun-
ties, Virginia, this being only "a part
of great deal of surveying which
he is said to have been engaged up
on at that time. These two coun-
ties were separated from what was
then Orange county, aud the grant
to Lord Fairfax was supposed TO
extend westward to the Pacific
ocean. subsequently these large
tracts were furtter subdivided, so
that the Fairfax line" as II is gen
orally known, runs now between
Rockingham aud Shenandoah coun-
ties, with the original Augusta and
Frederick counties to the south and
north respectively.
In the organic act for the forma-
ton of the two counties, or par
ishes" as obey were then called, it
was required that the line should
H. tfKh
spring of Hedgman river, one of the
sources OF the Rappabannock, to the
head spring of the Potomac.
Since 1t was required that the line
should be straight 1t was first neces-
sary to get the approximate course
by building large bonfires on the in
tervenfng high points. Then start
ing from the top of the Massanut-
ten mountains, the line was run
straight away over intervening
mountains and rivers toward the
northwest
The Fairfax Stone.
Away off across n part OF what IL
now West Virginia there is large
rock known today as the Fairfax
Stone. 1t is the monument which
marks the southwest corner Of Gar
ret county, Mo-, Che southeast corn
er of Preston county, w. Va, and
prominent points in the boundaries
in two other West Virginia counties.
A line from Orange court house,
eoinciding with the Shenandoah and
Rockingham county line, passes
through this Fairfax Stone, which
gives the name to nearby station,
Fairfax, on the Western Maryland
railroad 1t has been assumed that,
in running this line, a high peak
northwest Of Orange court house
was the starting point, and that
from here 1t was possible to see n
distant peak in the North mountain
range over the top OF the intervening
Massanutten mountain.
Washington, of course, used q
simple compass, and his line could
not be expected to check absolutely
with that obtained by the govern
ment surveyors who have retraced
his survey, using high-power trans
its 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 instru'
,ments It is possible to distinguish
