LOST Light colored barrette with st< n Capt, E. I- Brown Transfered. Wilmington, N. C., May 26—An nouncement was made yesterday that Capt. Earl I.

The meetings are short, the programs are interesting usual period allotted army engineers and the men.be s ae alive.

Horton W. Stickle, who is now doing duty with the Isthmian Canal Commission. Capt. Stickle will probably arrive within the next few weeks, when he will relieve Capt. Brown of the duties in this district. Hundreds of friends of Capt and Mrs. Brown throughout the district will learn with sincere regret that they are to make their home else where. Mrs. Brown is a native of Southport and Capt. Brown has him self lived quite a number of years in this section, having been a lieutenant in the Coast Artillery Corps at Fort Caswtll some years before being sent to this district as Engineer in charge. Ihose who knew the policy of the government to transfer its engineers every four years, were aware of the fact that the probabilities were that Capt. Brown would be assigned to an other district about the 1st of June, but they had hoped that he would be retained at this point. The an nouncement of the transfer came from Washington yesterday morning as follows: "Capt. Horton W. Stickle is relieved from duty with the Isth mian Canal Commission, to take ef fect at such time as his services can be spared, and will then proceed to Wilmington, N. C., take station at that place, and relieve Capt. Earl I. Brown of the duties in his charge. Capt. Brown, upon being thus reliev ed, will proceed to Galveston, Texas, take station at that place, relieve Major George. F. Howell of the duties in his charge.” Capt. Brown came here as engi neer in .charge of the district May31, 1907, and Jias, therefore, served al ready practically the four years us ually allowed engineers to remain at a station. While in charge of the district lie has undertaken and com pleted a number of works, the princi pal one being that of thejnland Wat erway from Neuse river to Beaufort harbor, this being the first link of the proposed intra-coastal waterway, the survey .of which has been in progress for the past two years. During this time the number of improvements in the district has almost doubled, there now being being under improvement in the district, the Cape Fear river above and below Wilmington, the locks and dams in the Cape Fear river Northeast, Black, Neuse, Trent, Pam lico, Tar, New andScuppernong rivers Swift, Fishing and Contentuia creeks, Beaufort harbor, Shallowbag bay, South river, Bay river,Swan Quarter bay, Beaufort inlet, etc., as well as the usual fortification works in this district. Brig. Gen. Wilson, retired, in speak ing to a friend recently of Capt. Brown’s work, paid him a high but deserved tribute in the following lan guage: "The people of the Wilming- Last Sunday evening the League was conducted by Miss Annie Mar tin, who scored a success.
