To Push v Ork On Channel,

Work on the 30-ioot channel in
the Delaware River is being pushed
with all possible visor BY Governm.
ment engineers at TINS port, aud far
more lie 10 be done than has gener-
ally been supposed according to
Captain Spencer Cosby chief of the
crops. I'VE have advertised for
dredging which will cost about
$1,000, 900, he said yesterday; and
we are authorized to prepare for
work 10 cost S2,0O0,000 more Oil the
So loot channel. The contract to be
awarded within 80 days will elm.
mate all OF the Dan Baker Shoals
and work will be begun on this be.
fore the end OF September. This will
give a clear channel 80 feet deep
900 feet wide, from Pea Patch Isl aud
to the Brcakwa:er. This will give
the desired channel for 90 miles
north of the Breakwater and do
away with the worst strip in the
river.
The specification Tor the contract
now being advertised call for com.
pletloI on or before December 81,
1904, but We expect it to beturnished
long before that time. In order to
bring this about premium will be
paid to the contractor for dredging
over the specified amount. Their
are now ample funds at our
command for the improvement work
and we know that the Department
at Washing is in sympathy with the
idea OF rushing the project to ltscom
pleton and from that end we will
not find any obstructin. The dredg-
ing at Dan Bakers Shoals will be
comparatively easy from the survey
just completed. Their is no blasting
and the dredging to be done is Of
soft substance making it reason a BILE
sure that the contract will be COM
pleted before the Sps Gifted tim T."

Bruce's Pi Oof Paint.

Bruce's Excelsior Elastic roof paint
is one of the cheapest and most dur
able paint in use for roofs. This
paint has been used for number of
years and has received the highest
eccomiums Of praiseas to lasting quail
tiles. 1t is warranted not to crack
or blister andis fire and water pro of.
1t is for tin and iron roofs, iron
fences and damp walls.
A tin roof is the most preferable
and one of the most durable that
can be put on building, and there
is no reason why it should not last
100 years, if properly covered and
protected with paint. Many per-
sons have an idea that it is the rain
that rusts their roofs, but it is the
dews that occur once each twenty
four hours, whereas the rain is only
occasional, AS soon as the paint
has been relieved of the oil it needs
renewal and if neglected your roof
will Immediately begin to corrode
and rust. The way to prevent it is
to use Bruce's roof paint. The Ex-
celsior Elastic roof paint costs youat
least third less than the other paint
at first and will overreach the other
at least twice in point of wear 1t
has been extensively used in Lam
caster, Reading, Columbia, York,
Hanover, Gainesville, Oxford, Avon.
dale, Kenneth Square, this city and
numerous other places. Testimon-
ials can be seen from a hundred or
more persons and firms who have
used this paint. Mr.. Bruce's Office
is at No. 1910 B street, South Will
