WATERWAY TO
DELAWARE BAY
Sent to War Depart
ment Setting Forth the
Advantages
BENEFITS WOULD Be MANIFOLD

Dover. Aug. 29.-Former Secretary
of State James M. Hughes and Henry
Ridgely, Jr., leading members of the
Kent county bar, have prepared an
address for presentation TO the War
Department commission which Is con-
Quoting the investigations into the adj
visibility of opening direct waterway
TO Delaware Bay, giving central Dell
aware quick communication with
Philadelphia markets.
The address recapitulates the suita-
bility Of Delaware's capital city as "a
central point for the distribution Of
the products of the state TO the mar
kets Of the world. The advantage of
joining the ST. Jones and Little rivers
and thereby obtaining direct commu-
nication with the Delaware is again
gone into thoroughly. 1t states that
the cost of the improvement asked
would be small. while the benefits to
a large section Of the country would
be Unreasonable.
IL further goes on to show that, ow-
ing to the narrowness Of the Stats. il
is hardly likely another railroad will
be established. The people are there
fore dependent upon the numerous
streams for tn competition which
creates and maintains reasonable
freight rates.
A memorial is also being framed
for presentation to the commission
having the matter in charge by author
ization of the last River and Harbor
act. showing how little Delaware is re-
ceiving for her rivers and harbors I'm
comparison with other States her size.
Even the last River and Harbor act,
which appropriates a paltry $4,000 to
Delaware. S25, 900 Of which had previous
~ been appropriated and is now only
released, gives Rhode Island S750,0O0
This year the Delaware appropriation
is SI5.365 and Rhode Island S72O.7ss

 Mr. Ben M Guerrero. formerly in business at Hermosillo and Carbo, now living at Mazatlan. is visiting Sonora on business, and will be at various points in the state during the subsequent two months. Mir. Guererro is manager for a company, in which he is also an owner, which has established at NJ zatlan an extensive cigarette factory, and is visiting Sonora to introduce the product-named ESpecjales Ramon Corral. livery thing at the factory is done by machinery, and facilities are pro- yided for producing an immense output.
 The twelve inch well the Sonora railway has bored at Pesquiera station has encountered q strong artesian flow which is remarkable. At a depth of 160 feet the water gushed to a height of eight feet above the surface. Sinking was continued to a depth of 450 feet, and the flow increased to q height of thirty-ive feet The new we'll will supply water for all purposes needed by the railway. And 1t demonstrates the feasibility of se- curing artesian water for irriga- tion. In the vicinity of Pesquira are many thousand acres of very rich land which needs only water to make it very productive and valuable.
