Would Benefit Worcester County,

was not deemed advisable to do anv
work on this section until certain uues-
tions respecting the right of way could
be adjusted. The act also provides for
securing the right of way over any rail-
road or through any railroad or county
bridge by condemnation proceedings.
Such proceedings were instituted under
authority of the Secretary of War by the
United States Attorney for the District
of Delaware for the right of way through
the crossing of the Delaware, Maryland
& Virginia Railroad Co., at Rehoboth,
resulting in a voluntary deed, dated Jan
uary 18th. 1899, from the Commission
ers of the Rehoboth to the United States,
conveying whatever interest that cor
poration had in the land at the place
named, and an award was made by COM
missioners appointed under and by vir-
tue of an act of the General Assembly
of Delaware, passed on April 4th, 1884.
the amonnt Of the award being $37, ,343.-
SO.
In the fiscal year ending June 3Oth,
1900, no money was expended, the bal
ance at that time being $26, ,494.72. 1t
was then estimated that $156, $50 would
be required to complete the then exist
ing PROJECT.
Since that time nearly all of the ap-
preparation then available has been ex-
pended in dredging between the railroad
crossing at Rehoboth, and Whites
Greek and in building jetties at the
mouth of the canal in Rehoboth Bay.
The matter will probably be taken up
in Congress in the near future and some
decision reached relative to continuing
the project. While much of the prelim-
mary work has been done and part of
the canal is now in existence, still there
is much more to be done.

MASON AND DIXON linz.
Survey Made By Maryland
And Pennsylvania After
Contention Of 14o Years.

Mason and Dixon's line has just been
surveyed for the first time since the
scientists whose names 1t commentaries
traced it, 140 years ago. The work now
completed was done under the direc-
tion of joint commission representing
Pennsylvania and Maryland. This line,
which became historic as the division
between the slave States and the free
States, was originally marked by stones
or other designations placed one mile
apart, But in che course of time many
of the markers disappeared. and dis.
putes as to local boundaries arose. Penn
sylvania and Maryland each appropria-
ted 5000 for a new survey Of the line.
and work was begun in April, 1901, W.
G. Hodgkins, of the United States Coast
and Geodetic Survey, being in charge
of the corps of engineers.
AS was the case with most of the land
grants made by the British crown in
the seventeenth century, William Penn
nd Lord Baltimore found that their
respective provinces of Pennsylvania
and Maryland apparently overlapped
each other. For fifty years much law
lessness prevailed along the border be-
cause of the boundary disputes, and the
settlers did not know to whom they
owed allegiance. Finally, in 1850, the
proprietaries OF the two provinces EN-.
ployed Charles Mason and jeremiah

WHAT IT
 MEANS Proposed Railroad From Nome to Council.
A FEW PREDICTIONS
Made by a We.l.KnOwn Citizen As to This Sections
 Future.

Few people realize what the pro D sed building of railroad between Nome and Council means" said wei known citizen the other day. and ther he con inued: "I re gard it as one O the best indications that have seen o the belief in the long permanacny o the placer fields of this peninsula: and also believe that this railroad is but the precursor of a railroad system that will within a very few years react every mining camp, and open up hun dreds of creeks which can be reached in no other way.
 "rhe Pioneer Mining Co. has shown a great deal of enterprise and they are entitled to the credit, but they needn [ be extolled for their faith. Faith won't build railroad, but business sense, opportunity, a knowledge of the coun- try and what it has to offer. and. ot course money. will. And the Pioneer Co. have shown that they possess al these requisites.
 "The completion of this railroad will mean much for Nome, for indub tally it will make it the distributing lOin, for a vast section of rich gold-bearins country. You will see Nome become great jobbing center and a big bus mess will be done with the great in- land country. 1 don't know how soor this railroad will be completed, prob ably not this year but it will the year after Anyhow for every mile of rails that is laid practically virgin country will be opened up, and just watch for developments along the line. The railroad, however can be built quickly and, it seems to me quite cheaply. And it will pay right from the start. Build ing railr ads in this section is like betting on a sure thing. They re bound to pay and pay handsomely.
 Just remember this prediction. Ir less than four years there will be rail roads running from Nome to Council, the Kougarok, Teller and Candle, and perhaps branch lines to camps that are now unheard of. People may think am visionary or that l am victim oi Arctic lunacy' of which 1 have read, but know Pm sane. and what I say now the near future will verify. You needn quote my name. however, as haven't he time to listen to knocks or boosts. But what I've said firmly be- lieve just the same.

ASSES ANCE
Rendered Destitute ES. kimos byCapt. Sargent.

The natives say that they cannot catch either tomcod or seal as is usual at this time of the !ear by reason of the heavy ice pack and the lack of open water. Therefore many f them are in a destitute condition all along the coast. \ number of Port Safety Eskimo and others at Cape Nome have no "kow kow," and they cane into town to make their wants known. Capt. Sargent of Fort Davis has already issued rations to number of these destitute people, taking the responsibility upon himself t" do so, when any authenticated cases of want have been reported to him. It is well that he has assumed the respons- iblty. for if he had not done SO, many of these poor natives would have been in sore straits for lack of food.
 The government of the United States owes duty to the Bering sea natives and 1t is to be sincerely hoped that some of the people of influence who have visited this section and who are on the outside will exert themselves and induce congressional action in their behalf. But it is doubtful.

This morning he telephoned Mail Contractor Ross that it was impossible to see 10 feet from the road house door because Of the furious ly drifting snow. The trails are simply impossible.
 Mail Carrier Smith was met Thurs day at Golovin en route to Isaac's Point, but he would probably have to lay over there until the storm abated somewhat before attempting to make the crossing.

GARRETT TRIED
 MEXICAN ARMY
AN AMERICAN SENTENCED BY
 MEXICAN JUDGE


 And Was Given His Final Hearing
 Recently at Arispe, Sonora, Mex.
 As a result of fight which occurred at La Cananea several weeks ago, Duncan Garrett, of this county. was ar rested and placed in jail at Caaanea, pending a hearing of the case at Aris- pc.
 Last week the case came up for hearing before the district judge at the latter place and as result Garrett was sentenced to serve two years in the Mexican army.
 In the altercation at Cananea Gar rett bit his assailant's ear, almost severing that member from the head of his antagonist. This circumstance made the offense a serious one in the eyes of the Mexican law and he was dealt with accordingly by the Mexi- can judge.
 Garrett for number of years has been a resident of Cochise county and was in the cattle business Tor number of years, but later turned his attention to freighting and has made his home at Cananea for the past year. Duncan Garrett is a broth CT of Andy Garrett, who is well known in Pearce and Bisbee. As a member of the Mexican army Garrett will be treated as prisoner. His every movement will be guarded and his duties will be arduous at all times with no compensation, and will be forced to subsist on army rations, at the best a very meagre allowance.
