PROFITABLE Strawberry SEASON

The strawberry season in Delaware
ended Oh Saturday, when but few straw
berries and the first raspberries, the fruit
which takes their place, appeared in the
markets Thus an exceptional strawberry
year has ended. The fruit was consider
ably diminished in quantity by the
drought, but in quality it held up TO the
average of any previous year and tile
prices broke all records Consequently
the berry growers will be more numerous
next year than ever. Old patches will be
rehabiIitated, new acreage will be laid off
and this years acreage will be pruned
and freshened by special treatment. Re-
frigeration in tie freight service now 1t
the doors of the Delaware growers has
greatly increased the returns from the
small fruits. The fruit can be delivered
ut long distances and will arrive in fine
marketable shape. The estimate Of tile
lower Delaware output places the gross
receipts from the strawberry business at
5000, 900, although this does not include
the berries shipped from the smaller sta
tions or by steamboats, from the bay
shore towns.

CANAL SURVEY In SIGHT

After nearly century's discussion and
agitation the project of connecting the
Chesapeake Bay and Delaware River BY
a deep water canal bids fair TO receive
serious recognition by Congress. Repre-,
sentative Ii. R. Burton, of Delaware,
through an arrangement with the Speaker
of the House, had a joint resolution intro.
duced by Representative Mudd, authoriz.
ing the President to appoint commission
to examine and report upon route for
the construction OF this important water
way.
The resolution, which was reported last
January from the Committee on Railways
and Canals, prescribes that the commits
sion shall consist OF all officer OF tie En-
gineer corps, an officer OF the navy and
one person from civil life. II is to ex.
anime and appraise the value ofthe works
aud franchises OF the Chesapeake and
Delaware canal with reference to tile de-
sirabilitv Of the purchase OF the canal by
the United States and the construction
over the route of the canal OF an open
waterway with depth aud capacity suf-
ticient to accommodate the largest vessel
afloat at mean low water.
: The commission is also to examine, By
aid OF surveys already made, the route
known as the Sassafras route and one Of
the central route, connecting the bays,
known as the Queenstown, the Centre
yiIle, the Wye and Choptank routes. OF
these latter it is to select for examination
the one which upon preliminary Inquiry
appears most suitable.
For the expense Of the commission Sl0,.
00O is appropriated BY the resolution.

Had Surplus to work On

When the present Levy Court took hold
OF the affairs of the county there was q
surplus of above $4,000 to work on.
This has all been used mp and the Court
now has only about SIG, 900 bank balance.
This shows, said one of the body to-day,
that the county cannot be run on so
cent tax rate, eliminating the good roads
question entirely. Not only will it be
necessary to increase the rate to avoid q
deficit next year, but if the people are
anxious for good roads they must pay for
them, as it requires money to build them.
The fixed expenses Of the county has also
increased considerably in the last four
years. For instance, the expense Of run
ming the county work house. during the
past four years was $IU,OO0 greater than
the four years previous. Other incidences
Of increased expenses is the increase Of
from 2S to 40 cents day for each boy at
the Ferris School and the outlay of 25
cents a day for the maintenance Of each
girl committed from this county to the
Industrial School in Wilmington
