WORK TO Be PUSHED RAPIDLY
Does Not Think Proposed Dumping

viii Result in shoalins Up at Mouth
Of the River.

THE department in Washington is
deslrous Of having the Delaware thir-
ty-foot channel project completed at
the earliest possible day, and / am
heartily in sympathy with that desire"
said Captain James c. Sanford corps
Of engineers IN an interview yester-
day. Captain Canof ramofwy wtmaf IA
day Captain Sanford formally re-
lieved Lieutenant Colonel C. w. Ray
mond as engineer In charge on Mon
day and since then has been gathering
up the details OF the work.
For the present" said he. "it would
be impossible 20 proceed more rapidly
than we are doing, even II other dredg-
ing contracts had been entered into. as
we have not the space available for
the disposal OF material But shortly
section B of the artificial island bulk
head viii be completed, and soon after
that the bulkhead at the mouth Of the
Christiana river VIII be under way.
There will then be nothing to prevent
the pushing Of the work.
Expects Rapid Progress.
Il do not see any reason why the ST.
100000 that Congress has provided
may not be spent before July, 1904
There is no doubt that dredgers can
be put on various shoals in the river
and work, simultaneously.
"The ideal way to improve such
channel said Captain Sanford, would
be TO regulate the river-that is. TO SO
arrange the system OF works that there
would be a gradually decreasing cross
section from the mouth TO the head OF
navigation. But that would be enor-
mously expensive. Within the ordinary
limits of expense the best method is to
make the channel, and then to MAIN
tain It by dredging.
Il am of the opinion that after the
thirty-foot channel is made II should
be possible TO maintain il with a rea-
sonablc amount OF dredging. and that
the cost OF thus keeping It up would not
be great

early i'm the week to attend to clerical
work in the office here. which he will
have charge OF. though perhaps only
temporarily. He says that he does not
believe the proposed dumping ground
above the mouth of the Christiana
river will result in shoaling up at the

STATE ABSTRACTORS
HOLD THEIR ANNUAL
Discuss Needed Legislation and Adopt
Resolutions.

A meeting of the Minnesota State
Abstractors' association was held at
the Windsor hotel Friday, when the
annual election of officers took place.
Those elected were: President, w. E.
Danphier, st. Paul; vice president, c..
H HumasOn, Ada, Mimi; secretary,
M. J. Manton, st. Paul and treasurer
A. w. Thompson, St Paul; executive
committee, Messrs. Heimick, Duluth;
Field, Fergus Falls, and Strander,
Crookston.
The meeting was the second in the
history of the association, it having
been formed Feb. 6, 1902.
After the election many matters of
vital interest to the members was dis
cussed, among others the difficulties
and misunderstanding arising in the
issuing of certificates of deeds to lands
At present there is no statute that af--
fixes the amount that shall be demand
ed by the clerk as his rightful fee. and
in consequence many are in the habit
of charging most eXtortionate sums.
Cases have been known where, in the
instance of a person securing a GER
t1f1cate of ownership, the clerks fees
have been far in excess of those of
the abstractors. The following reso-
luton was adopted:
That the present law affecting the
fees of the clerk of the district courts

The Torrens law, providing that Ger

discussed at some length, and it was
the unanimous decision OF the meet

that, even in it's inadequacy, it is a
in very lethargic state, so far as it's
enforcement is concerned

FIGHT FOR NOMINATION
is BECOMING ACTIVE
T. .. o'Brien's Candidacy Stimulates
Interest in Attorney Fight.

No further doubt exists as to Thorn
as D. O'Brien's intentions regarding
the city corporation attorneyship.
While refusing to talk, he is a candi-
date, and this was more than appar-
ent yesterday by the presence of his
friends about the city hall.
They are actively soliciting support
for him, and are trying to make up
for time lost in getting into the con-
test. 1t Is the general opinion now that
the contest lies between him and J. C.
Michae1s.
Mayor Smith has been solicited by
several to aid them in their campaign,
but he says he is going to keep his
hands out of it. The appointment, he
says, does not come through him, and
he sees no reason why he should par
ticipate.
1t is expected that a caucus of the
Democratic members of the two coun-
ell bodies will be held this week,
though it may be deferred for ten days,
when it is expected all those who wish
to participate will have announced
their names.
In the meantime Corporation Attor-
ney J. E. Markham is sitting fairly
easy.

PRACTICAL J0KERS
CAUSE CLUB TO
WITHDRAW
Retirement of Century Club
From State Federation
Said to Be Due to Action
of Several Members at the
Last OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Telegram to DR.. Fry Is Not
Relished by Women.

Was a practical joke the reason for
the Century clubs withdrawal from
the State Federation of Women
clubs? Many club women declare that
such is the case and cite in proof the
Indignation displayed by members of
the Century club when they discover
ed that the convention held in Albert
Lea last fall had been made ridiculous
by the misguided action of few wom-
en-.
It will be remembered that when the
federation was in session at Albert Lea,
DR.. Christian Fry, of the board of ed
ucation, received telegram purporting
to be signed by the federation's "com-
mittee on education" asking him to
come down to Albert Lea and be edu-
Gated. Point was given the invita-
ton because Of the fact that DR.. Fry
had criticised certain phases of club
work shortly before the convention
met
Not Fond of Jokes.
Now, the Century club is not partic-
ularly fond of jokes of any sort. ES-
pecially do its members Shudder at the
very thought of a practical joke. Cen
fury club members who attended the
convention were loudest in their de-
nunciation of this particular joke. Alb
horing publicity, they were especially
opposed to any action that would place
them before the community in a hui
morous light. But the joke was merely
the climax of a number of offenses
committed by the federation, among
these being the federations refusal to
admit the colored women's club known
as the Adelphia, in spite of the fact
that the Century club was the Adel-
phia clubs Stanch supporter. t='
May Reduce Attendance.
However, it is not probable that the
action of the Century club will inter
fere with the annual luncheon Of the
week at Standard club hall, though it
may lessen the number of guests by
perhaps half a score. The luncheon is
to be served at high noon, but the exc
cutive board will meet at 10 o'clock for
the purpose of deciding upon several
important matters, notably that of the
place of holding the next annual con-
vention.
The federation has received no '1nvf-t
tation for next year, and unless one 8
received the morning Of the luncheon,
the federation will face a dilemma. It
is possible that either st. Paul or 5Min->
