From the tou of Middle Mountain in 
the Massanutten range, the Shenandoah-Rock- 
ingham, 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 and stop at the line, like 
squares in a checkerboard. Then if one turns to 
the southeast the same demarkations are plain 
across the valley of the south fork of the Shen¬ 
andoah, cutting straight through the present 
Page County, which is made of land formerly 
in Shenandoah County, belonging to the Fairfax 
grant, and partly from land formerly in Rocking¬ 
ham. Thus, as far as the eye can see in either 
direction, this old line shows plainly. 
Washington’s Survey Marks. 
The Fairfax Stone stands as a permanent 
monument. In addition, there are, throughout 
that section of the country, various other records 
of these Washington surveys. For example, a 
large white oak which stands at the corner of a 
farm about 1V2 miles from Lost City, Hardy 
County, W. Va., was, according to a persistent 
story of that section of the country, marked by 
Washington. 
Why the Line Is Retraced. 
The reason that this old Washington survey 
line is being retraced is because the Federal Gov¬ 
ernment is purchasing lands in this neighborhood, 
in connection with the new Appalachian forests 
which are being acquired at the headwaters of 
navigable streams, under the terms of the Weeks 
law, designed to protect these watersheds from 
the evils of deforestation. The Government re¬ 
quires a clear title before the land can be paid 
for. In making sure of the titles it is necessary, 
in many cases, 10 go back to original royal 
grants, or to colonial records, and to have re¬ 
course to resurveys before the facts of owner¬ 
ship can be indisputably established. 
The Sea Robin 
One of the prettiest of our water fowl is the 
red-breasted merganser, or, as it is often called, 
the sea robin. This bird has very peculiar mark¬ 
ings and some very odd habits and is all in all 
very interesting. Its head is dark green, with 
a crest at the back that is very noticeable. The 
sea robm has a very queer habit of raising and 
lowering this crest as it goes about swimming on 
the surface of the water, much as a turkey raises 
and lowers its tail as it struts about. 
Around the neck is a broad white ring which 
gives the effect of a very dressy collar. The back 
varies from black to gray and the tail is a brown¬ 
ish gray. The wings are white as a whole; they 
are crossed by two black bars and in front of 
each is a peculiar patch of white feathers that 
have black edges, or borders. The flanks are 
barred with very fine wavy black lines and black 
streaks, the lower neck and upper breast of buff. 
Underneath, the color is white and the feet, legs 
YOUR BARBER 
For a Lifetime 
t’s pleasant—It’s easy—It’s 
economical and above all, it’s 
safe —shaving with a Star. 
The keen, perfectly tempered, full weight, 
“leal” razor blade of the Star never slips or 
pulls—always shaves smoothly—once over is 
enough. One blade is good for 20 years or 
more—lifetime shaving satisfaction sure.
