Garland Hurst, of Harpers Ferry, says that water-powersaw mills were once common along the streams and sawed not onlyfor domestic use but for commercial purposes as well. There is stillone water-power saw mill in running order at Halltown on FlowingRun. Steam saw mills have operated irregularly in the county formany years. Joseph Martin, an early writer on the resources ofVirginia, lists 2 saw mills for Jefferson County in 1835. One of these, located at Harpers Ferry, he asserts was one of the most valuable inthe United States. There are 4 or 5 portable saw mills now in the county. Present Forest Conditions. At least 75 per cent, of the whole county has been cleared.There are some small, pastured woodlots connected with the farmsin the improved sections. The West Virginia side of the Blue RidgeMountains is largely covered with a growth of inferior hardwoods.There are areas of considerable extent also overgrown with scruboaks and pires near the Berkeley County Line..

Physiog-raphy is the study of the topograph)^ or surface features ofthe land, in its characters, origin, growth, and final destiny.The systematic study of this subject is mainly American.Lesley in Pennsylvania as early as 1840 was an enthusiasticstudent of the subject and has given to the world importantcontributions to the science. The early students of topog-raphy saw the relation of earth structure to water actionresulting in the planing down of the land surface and itssculpture, but they believed the work was due to an instan-taneous or cataclysmic force, and not a gradual continuousoperation. As stated then by Lesley, who afterward aban-doned this view, the present waters are the powerless mod-ern represen
