PULP MILL
AT BEAUDETTE
Currently Reported That
Big Plant Will Be
Erected There.

The plat Of Beaudette was filed
with Register of Deeds Harris
Saturday. It contains 1875 lots
and up to this date in the neigh
borhood of go business lots have
been sold at good prices. Practi-
cally all the streets are cleared
and grubbed and small sawmill
on the 5ownsite is running night
and day. It is currently report
ed that pulp mill will be located
there and it is certain that sash
and door factory and brick
yard will be started at once, and
with the Shevlin- Matthew mill
now being constructed the pro-
spects for a big town at this
point are certainly looking up.
Very few towns indeed make
such rapid strides, as it has been
only two weeks since the survey
of the new town was com pleted.
Considerable interest is now
being taken in the petition for
village organization, which is next
in order, as the citizens are not a
unit on the location of the boand-
airy lines Of the proposed village.
However, the major portion Of
the citizens have agreed OF
certain territory which they will
ask the board of county commls-
sioners at their next nesting to
set day for an election on the
question of Incorporating it or
rot.

REED BIRDS VERY PLENTIFUL


The season for rail birds, mud hens and
reed birds opens to-day, and the gunners
are getting their guns in condition for the
sport. According to the reports received
from the people living near the places
frequented by the birds the game is going
to, be plentiful this season. As a rule
ran and reed birds are thin and poor at
the opening of the season and it takes
about ten days for them to fatten mp.
This year however it is expected they
will be in prime condition on account of
the great quantities of fosd now ripe for
them to fatten on. Many gunners who
have been in the marshers for blackbirds
say the "reedies'' are focking in great
numbers and they look good. The mar
shes around Port Penn and Delaware
City and along the lower Delaware are
always more thickly populated than the
northern part Of the river, and it is there
the gunners will probably find the bet
ter sport. The marshes along the Apo
quinimink river however give promise Of
furnishing good crop and the wise ones
are anticipating great season.

With all lights out, the gasolene en-
gine in the hold working slowly to avoid
making too much noise, the msyterious
schooner that is supposed to have been
anchored in the Delaware river loading
powder for the Cuban rebels, is reported
t have sailed from this port about mid.
night Tuesday night. The Jerseymen
who had been watching the boat in an
endearor to learn what its mission really
was, said it moved away so quietly but
swiftly that it resembled a spectre craft
of some fairy tale as it proceeded down
the river.
Not light showed aboard and the
only living being seen was the solitary
figure standing at the wheel. Although
lying low in the water, undoubtedly
weighted down with a cargo of some
kind, the schooner made good Speed and
shortly after hanling up the anchor il
was lost in the blackness Of the night.
Those who saw the boat are more than
ever convinced now that it was here for
some purpose which those aboard we're
anxious to conceal.

third of the entire voting population reg.

cent. OF the Democrats have qualified.
Unless there is a rush in both parties to
get the vote out at the next two Registra-
tion Days-September 18th and October
10th, the vote at the coming election will
be very small. Following are the totals
by Representative districts: First district,
25s; second district, 1872; third district,
25S; fourth district, 209; fifth district, $685.
sixth district, 157; seventh district, 1856
