new RIVER WORK
Millions Of Feet of Lumber
49,. Will be Used
800 MEN WILL BE EMPLOYED

While mention has been made of tie
fact that the government is to bulkhead
the Delaware river from Edge Moore to
the mouth of the Christiana few people
have an idea of the extent of the work.
Few, also, we're aware that bids for the
work are to be opened SO soon. January
Goth is the time fixed.
The bids viii be opened by Lieutenant
Colonel c.. w. Raymond, who is in
charge of the Philadelphia district and
the bids will at once be sent to Washing
ton for consideration. The total length
OF the work will be 5,760 feet. To COM
plete the work in the time required by
the government will require the employ
ment of over 800 men, an unusually
large number on such work.
There viii be five continuous rows of
piles; also row of cheap pilling. South
ern long leaf pine is to be used, OF which
it will require 10000, 600 feet and 645,-
600 iineal feet of round piles.
The piles will average seventy-fve feet
in length and will be cut off twelve feet
above low water mark. Ofscrews, bolts,
nuts and washers the work will require
349, 900 pounds, and of spikes 1900
pounds. - ..-i< ~ -
These figures do not include the longi.
tudinal pieces nos the two-inch decking.
The bulkhead when completed will ex.
tend out in the river a quarter of a mile
from the present shore line and many
acres of new land will be made. To do
the work in the specified time 1900
feet win have to be completed each
month. and the contractors think that
a herculean task. ~ -
This vast Improvement will make
new epoch III the business interests OF
Wilmington, as the largest steamers will
be able to discharge their cargoes there.
The improvement is intended for the
benefit of Philadelphia ami the idea is
that bulkheading will keep the channel
deep and prevent shoaling, but Whining.
ton will get the greatest benefit because
the result will be an increase in available
'ites for manufacturing purposes and a |
leep channel.

THE COSMOPOLITAN

Several years ago a suggestion was
made to President Eliot of Harvard that,
inasmuch as the first thing young man
ordinarily did on graduating from college
was to chose his life-work, it was impor-
tant that each student should have pre-
sented to him thorough discussion as
to the advantages, disadvantages and
temptations of each of the leading pro-
fessions, SO that in determining his life-
work he might act with the fullest know
ledge attaina5le. The Cosmopolitan has
begun this discussion in its January issue
by taking up the legal profession. Be-
sides pointing out what the young man
has to encounter in entering upon law.
yer's career, The Cosmopolitan considers
at length the revolution which has taken
place in the legal profession because OF
the reorganization of business in great
aggregations like the U. s. Steel Corpora
tion, and modern business instruments,
such as trust companies, title and guar
antee companies. and fidelity insurance

!COAL ADMITTED FREE TILEJUNE 50
Few Months Only
WILL NOT BE REMOVED PERMANENTLY
WASHINGTON, January 18th.

The duty upon coal is to be removed.
After considering the subject Saturday
and Sunday the Republican leaders of
the two houses hit upon plan they
think may prove satisfactory without per-
mitting any permanent changes to be
made in the sacred rates of the Dingley
tariff law.
This is the proposition:
The Treasury is to be authorized to pay
rebates equivalent to the amount of duty
collected upon all coal imported until
juno 80. After that date the present
duty will be again turned into the Treas
ury. -.
The bill, it is expected, also will pro-
vide for reciprocity, admitting free of
duty, coal imported into this country
from countries granting the same privi-
leges to the United States. This means
Canada, and will permit Nova Scotia coal
to come into this country free, while coal
from the Alleghenies and westward will
90 into Canada free of duty.
A bill to effect this is to be passed right
away. The ways and means committee
reported it to the House Tuesday and will
put it through under rigid rule which
will shut out amendments and cut debate
very short.
While it is admitted that what this
measure will accomplish in the way of
relief is problematical, the tariff which it
will refund amounting to only 81 cents
a ton on coal which contains less than
go per cent. carbon, it is the desire of the
party leaders to furnish all possible relief
to the consumers. According to Treasury
Department statistics, there is no foreign
coal on which the duty is not collectible,
under this high carbon test.
Another significant move in the direc-
ton of giving relief to the coal situation
was the action OF the House at its brief
session Monday in adopting the Gros-
venor resolution authorizing the Com
mittee on Merchant Marine and Fisher
les to investigate the whole subject of
coal transportation. This investigation
is to be directed particularly to ascertain
ing whether any conspiracies or combi-
nations exist which tend to increase the
hardship and suffering in the North !;
Atlantic States on account of the scarcity |
of coal.
