TRIaurARY RWER TRAEEIo.

M 1LFoRD is to have new

town and Philadelphia. carrying pas.
seneers and freight. This has been
made possible by the work Of the Cow
ernment recently in Improving the
mouth OF that stream
There are half dozen boats hall
ing from as many ports situated on
streams which enter the Delaware Bay.
and there are as many more points
from which medium sized boats could
be run probably were there a little
attention paid 10 keeping these streams
in navisable condition.
This starts several trains Of thought.
chief Of which is that it is as import
ant Tor the Government to encourage
this sort Of shipping from many ports
as it Is 10 encourage heavy shipping
by improving the great har5ors.
Chairman Burton OF the River and
Harbor Committee seems TO be i'm
pressed with the idea that the small
navigable streams should be allowed
to take care Of themselves, while an
propriations should be devoted to the
great harbors But as many people
are interested IN the former as in the
latter. and besides. the smaller boats
help to gather freights for the larger
ones.
The second line Of thought is that
an Of these small boats from the small
streams entering the Delaware. from
New Jersey as well as from our own
State. make Philadelphia their port Of
destination and Chester a port OF car.
Not one touches Wilmington wharves:
and the reason is, OF course. that cur
wharves are TOO remote from the route
OF travel TO Philadelphia.
There have been spasmodic efforts
TO solve this problem. but there is a
feeling that wharves on the Delaware

THE officers elected by the Board Of
Il Trade at its annual meeting are
guarantee Of a wise and efficient ad-
ministration OF the affairs Of the or
sanization.
But Il Is evident that something
more is required to make Of this body
the force it should be in our indus
trial AFFAIRS. There has been con-
siderable loss Of membership during
the past year due the chairman Of the
membership committee thinks, to tenn
porary dissatisfaction.
It seems pertinent to remark just
here that persons who withdraw from
such an organization because OF "tem-
porary dissatisfaction" are not likely
to add very much to the organization
IN the problems which face such am
organization there is certain TO be
many clashes OF opinion. and perhaps
decisions that meet with earnest dis
sent. but members must be satisfied
with promoting the main purpose-the
Advancement OF the business interests
OF Wilmington.
But to build up an ideal board OF
trade is not the work OF year; nei-
ther is it TO be accomplished in spurts.
There must be an unwavering enthus-
iasm and determination to make OF
this organization such a force that no.
body who is recognized as of any inn
portance in the community can afford
to stay out. Il is possible to create
such a condition that all the member
ship committee win have to do will
be TO pass upon applications.
But in ogr judgment the Board OF
Trade needs to extend its sphere Of
usefulness. It should employ means
Of advertising the city and its indus
tries. Il should systematically work
FOR the location OF manufacturing
plants and other enterprises IN our
midst. Other cities do this. and find
that it pays. But to do It win require
an office, open every day. and a Sec
retary who can devote his entire time
to the work.

Miss Ethel Barrymore has achieved
a notable success in her most inter-
esting play Sunday" in which she
win appear at the Opera House on
Monday night. As the breezy West
ern girl. the favorite Of the mining
camp, Miss Barrymore has made the
hit of her career. The English au-
thor, Thomas Raceward, has been sim
gularly successful in imparting the
Bret Harte atmosphere to the scenes
in the mining camp. The four rough
miners, Tower, Davy Lively and Jack
are a most interesting quartette, very
much in contrast to the soberly dress
ed Colonel Brnthoppe and Tom OK
ley, Of Brinthorpe Abbey. But it is
Sunday, the light-hearted lovable Sun
day who dominates the miners camp
and the Brinthorpe home. In the
strongly dramatic moments of the
play as we'll as the lighter scenes Miss
Barrymore distinguishes herself.
