HARBOR IMPROVEMENT.
Col. Smith Proposes New Plan of Taking
Care of the christiana.

Col Smith Proposes New Plan of Taking
Care oft christiana.
Col Jared A. Smith, the United
States engineer in charge of this dis
trict, has examined the Christiana
River and as result has devised
now plan for keeping the channel open.
This is study, and will probably
be recommended, but has not yet
been definitely decided.
The idea is to build wing dams com
pounded with training walls along both
sides of the Christiana. These are to
be in the shape of the letter I, and
will extend as far out into the river as
the coming and going of steamers shall
permit. They are to be built according
TO mathematical calculations, and will
be substantial and lasting. These wing
dams will only be built where the city
has not the banks improved. Where
there are wharves no dams will be
built
Col. Smith recommends the enforce
ment Of the law prohibiting steamboats,
from running rapidly in the Christiana,
as that has tendency to draw the
mud from the banks to the channel.
Col. Smith has prepared plans for
the improvement of the Mispiliion,

All will be dredged. A ietty will be
constructed across the flats of the Mis-
pillion. There is an appropriation of
SIS, 000 with which to carry on the
work. When specifications are ready,
bids will be asked for and the contracts
let The building OF the jetty across
the fats of the Mispillion will be a
great improvement.

Al Enormous comelnatIon.


In his sworn testimony before New
jersey court, in case against the
United States Steel Corporation, Mr..
Charles NJ. schwab, its president, gave
official figures that attest the enormous
extent Of that gigantic business CON.
bination. He showed:
First. That the outstanding capital
stock Of the United States Steel Cor
poratiou has par value Of sl,0lS :
5S3, 200.
Second. That its outstanding bonded
Indebtedness amounts 10 s3Q3, I5I, 600,
plus SEQ, 22l, 80. owed on securities OF
the subsidiary oomparies.
Third. That its net profits, plus
those Of the subsidiary companies, were
for the Hrst year sos, Ie6, 4J2.
Fourth That its net profits for the
second year, ending April LIST, 1903
will probably exceed $40, eco, 600.
Fifth. That its earnings for the first
year equaled Ii per cent on its common
stock, and will equal IA per cent on
the same for the second year, after
paying per cent on its preferred stock.
Sixth. That, at a valuation below
what they are actually worth, and ex-
elusive Of goodwill, PATENTS trade
marks and processes owned by the
corporation, its properties have total
value Of 81, 400, 2Jl,000.
Seventh. That its orders now or
hand, which will keep all its plant'
busy until January, 1903, aggregate
s150. 600, 600, on which the net prob
will be more than eco, 600. COO
Scarcely a decade ago such a vas
business concern would not have beei
dreamed Of. Today it is an existing
fact.
No wonder, says the New forl
World, the Industrial evolution whicl
has produced such commercial Colos
sus, and is producing others like unit
it sets men questioning whether tn
enormous power concentrated 10 thes
great corporations is compatible wit
that freedom in industrial enterpris
which has been distinguishing featur
Of our country.

YACHTING.
Wrong Construction of Boars Largely Re-
sponsible for Accidents.

Wrong Construction of Boats Largely Re-
sponsible for Accidents.
The yachting accidents have been so
frequent in the last month that some
of the yachtsmen have seriously dis
cussed the advisability of suggesting
to Congress that some kind Of law
should be passed as a generally pre-
ventive measure. In ooterie of
yachtsmen, in Philadelphia, where this
was talked of Tuesday, opinion was
divided as to whether this should be a
law controlling boat building or a
solely personal law. For the former,
it was argued with apparent force that
all the accidents OF the season had been
due to the wrong construction of the
vessels used, and il was said with some
point: "You can't make fool wise by
legislation, but you can limit him in
regard to the structure Of his vessel. +"
1t was shown that the accident at
Appledore Saturday, whom 10 we're
drowned, was solely due to the oapsiz-
ing character Of the sailboat; that the
yacht Aphrodite, from which the
Harvey family had an almost miracu-
lous escape at Richmond Island, must
have been in an absurdly dangerous
condition when the iron keel actually
fell off and allowed the yacht to tur n
bottom up; that the caIsize at Chicago
OF the yacht Arab ~ was due to q
dangerous kind of designing.

On last Thursday night the Masonic Fraternity of our town gave an excellent banquet at the Waverly hotel. Among outside visitors, we note Ed $. Carl-Lee, John D.Eldridge, Capt. Jones; all of Augusta, and MT, Sharp of Wynne. The guests began to gather about 10 o'clock and after enjoying instrumental and vocal music furnished bv MT SShroeter,
 Miss Nina Beard and others, the guests repaired to the dining room for most sumptuous feast. There was turkey and barbaqu- ed mutton galore and all things else necessary to appease the craviflas e. tue most exacting
 Rev. Taylor, the master of cere-
 monies, called on several masons to toast the crowd. Our \Gyiend Uncle Willie was considered too full for utterance, consequently, he was excused from making his spiel. He should never have been thus endulged, for we know the guests missed one of the rarest of treats when Uncle Willie was excused. He is undoubtedly the champion toaster of Woodruff county. We trust some day to have an opportunity to hear un- cle Billy toast. After our mate rial existance had been thus bountiously satisfied, our esthet- tic natures were charmed by such sweet songs as Our Old Kentucky Home," Annie Lau- rie, {" Home sweet home," Doris and many others. At about F o'clock p. m. the pleasures of the banquet came to an end. The masons certainly deserve the greatest of credit for such royal affair as this. This first degree shall certainly finger in the archives of our memories and some day, there may be some of the invited guests glad of an opportunity to take the second degree.

MUCH IMPROVED

The improvements so far made in the

much better supply of water for all
parts OF the city, before reached by
the mains. 1t is expected by the end
of the week that the mains will be so
far completed as to allow of the Wal
akea district being supplied with wa
ter. 1t will be a short time also be-
fore the pipes are laid to the villa
Franco district and the residents OF
Hilo are already getting water where
they were never able To before, under
the old system. Hilo with the new
system will have perfect fire protection.
The plans for the receiving reservoir
have been completed and bids will be
