WELL the freezing weather ha.
about frozen up all the harmony
proceedings which started off SO
lively last summer, and the only
echo recently heard was from DR..
Marshall, who visited Wilmington
last week. From observation we
have come to the conclusion that
each faction of the Republican
party is between the devil and the
deep sea, and afraid to move lest
his brother in his own household
may scuttle the ship. In the house
hold of the Regulars this situation
is emphasized, and probably more
to be dreaded than it Is in the Union
Republican faction, where the Alice
faction is afraid to trust the Ad-
dicks people to come out into an
open fight. This is pitiable plight
for any party to occupy, and we
believe that the gauntlet should be l
thrown down and the Republicans !
of Delaware be permitted to work
put the reform necessary to bring tt
about united party. p

Death cast a gloom over the young folks
here by taking their little friend, George
, lsaacs, only daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Isaacs. Her death was on Mon
day evening, November 9th, 1905. and
} it was the result of burns received from a
fire caused by her pouring oil on a fire
the week previous. Her sufferings lasted
nine days. She was years, months
and II days, aud a very bright and low
able little girl. A regular attender of
Sunday School and the Junior Epworth
League meetings, she leaves a vacancy
in her home and with associates that
will be sadly noted. The funeral services
were held on Wednesday afternoon, and |
was largely attended: the casket was
covered with flowers, the offerings from |
her sunday school friends. Interment
was made at Bridgeville; six little girls
acting as pail bearers, who were Virginia

stln Room Tor settlers.

From the Chicago Intor-Occan.
The impression is rather general that
the Western plains are nearly all occu-
pied. and that there is now little room
or chance on them for the young man
who wishes to go West and grow up
with the country"
The impressive figures Of the shrinkage
OF the public domain and Of the rapid
growth Of population in the Western
states, continually repeated by the press.
are responsible for this impression. 1t Is
correct enough, as far as It goes It's
error Is that il does not go far enough.
The time is. indeed. at an end when a
man could go West and get valuable
land for practically nothing. That sort
Of Chance" has passed away. But in
tho current outlook Charles Moreau Har-
ger shows that there is today in the
West another and in some ways better
chance" for the settler.
The prospecting work has been done.
Its lessons have been learned. The new
farmer in the West does not have to ex-
pertinent as did his predecessor Of thirty
years ago. lie finds all about him men
who can tell him In a day the facts about
climate and soil conditions that the pio-
ncer had 10 learn for himself through
painful toll and costly experience.
And the lands are there on which to
set up now homes The average size OF
farms--not cattle ranges, but cultivated
farms-in Kansas Is 2iO acres; in Ne
braska. GAG acres; in Oklahoma. 251 acres;
in North Dakotah, 343 acres: in South Da-
lsotah. 1862 acres; IN Colorado. 3Si acres; in
New Mexico, AZ acres and in Texas, 426
acres AS the average size Of farms IN
Minnesota Is no acres in Iowa. 151 acres,
and I'm Missouri. 1i0 acres. and as none re-
gard these States as crowded. Il is evil
dent that there is room for many more
settlers i'm the West. The average Western
farm r. too large for one family to handle
and those there readily make room for

In the first place. there are three

Don't you like the roads that we
have already built under this law?" we
will be asked. Yes. we do, but how
many hundreds Of years would be re-
CURED to improve all Of our roads at
the same rate? And there are prob
ably twice as many miles of roads in
Sussex county as there are in New
Castle and the revenues are necessar-
lily much smaller.
It win require about 100000 to build
ten miles OF stone roads, the county
paying one-half. At that rate we
should never get over the county. II
would cost S6,OOO,OOO to put all the
roads in Sussex county in good shape

We say as emphatically as possible
that while a few stone roads may be

falls must be found II all OF our roads
are to be improved. The farmer haul
