Auto Boat in Few Minutes" 1.-THE Com
pass" "How Two Boys Built Wireless
Telegraph Instruments" "Tools for the

Horse" and ''The Chewink," being num-
ber three of the bird series. AS to sport,
there is variety of matter, easily first be-
ing picture of some of the famous anna
teur athletes of the United States and

$2,254,0O0 FOR
.30-FOOT CHANNEL
Congress Committee Promises
10 Authorize Continuing
Contracts
TO COMPLETE THE WORK

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4th.-The rapid
completion of the thirty-foot channel in
the Delaware is assured if this Congress
passes river and harbor appropriation
bill. The work is to be put under the
continuing contract system and with the
aid that is promised from the State ST.
600, 600 cash will be Immediately avail
able.
Chairman Burton, of the River and
Harbor Committee, has been satisfied by
conferences with Senators Penrose and
Knox and Representatives Bingham and
Adhesion that the Pennsylvania Legis-
ture will aid the Delaware channel i'm
provement to the extent of $500,00O 1t
was tentatively agreed yesterday that the
Government appropriation for this i'm
provement would be at least $3.50, 900.
To-day the committee again considered
the Pennsylvania items and it was de-
cded that on conditions of the State ap-
propriating $500, 900 to aid in this Gov
ernment work cash appropriation of
$500, 900 would be made in the river and
harbor bill and contracts authorized for
81 .254, 900.
This means that with the State contri-
button there will be $1,000,000 cash for
use and contracts can be en-
tered into for 81, ,254, 600 in addition, these
contracts to be cared for as necessity
arises in future sundry civil bills.
This total amount Of 81, 254 600 is the |
engineers estimate of what is necessary
to complete the thirty-foot channel. |
This is regarded as very satisfactory ar
rangement and guarantees the prosecu-
ton of work of deepening the channel
without futler delay. 1t is expected that
Senator Penrose aud Knox and General
Bingham will have another conference
with chairman Burton and that the Della
ware item will then be finally. agreed
upon.
