Commencing next week the Brigham

tween this city and Eugene, playing
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday in
Eugene and opening here in a new
play every Thursday, and will play
here Thursday, n iday, Saturday and
Sunday nights, with a special matinee
Saturday afternoon. Up to the pres
emit time this company has not made
expenses, for the simple reason that it
is impossible TO give these high-class
plays with the expensive talent that is
engaged for the exceptionally low ad-
mission prices of 10 and 20 cents.
However the management is willing to
stand the losses that have been in
cured up to the present in ordet' to
show that the policy of the Edison has
been changed, and that the Brigham
Cooper Company is capable of giving
the people their moneys worth. But
in order to continue this stock engage
ment, the prices viii be raised to Is

THE OLD
SASSAFRAS
CANAL
Builtin 1929 Connecting Del
awre and Chesapeake Bays
TO Be ReOpened

In asking for an appropriation of
$4,000 for the expenses of COM
mission to resU-vey an estimate the
cost of enlarging the old Sassafras' -
canal connecting the Delaware and
Chesapeake bays, Congressman Bur
ton, of Delaware, gives some interest
ing statistic on this old canal, one of
the old artificial waterways in the
United States.
1t is proposed by the Burton bill
for congress to purchase this canal
for the government and enlarge it to
admit the largest vessels afloat.
Mr.. Burton gives the following in
teresting history of the canal
The first survey for a canal to con-
meet the waters of the Delaware bay
with those of the Chesapeake was
made by August Herman in the year
1870, for Lord Baltimore and another
was made by JOSHUA Gilpin in the
year 1904.
The survey was probably made after
the state of Maryland granted a char-
ter to the Chesapeake & Delaware Ca.
nal company in the year 1899.
Whether the route of the present
canal was the only one surveyed by
the early work or not | am unable to
say, but since that day number of
othe: routes have been surveyed by
the government looking to the con-
struction of waterway between the
two bays as part of system of
coast defense. These were known
respectively as the Sassafras," the
"Chaptunk river" and the "South.
east" route, which contemplate a con
struction by way of the waters of the
Broadkiln, on the Delaware bay near
the new harbor of refuge, with those
of the Nanticoke river, on the Mary
land or Chesapeake.
1t will be seen that the United
States government has from its begin
ing seen and from time to time talk.
ed of and surveyed and examined into
this matter, because, whenever the
possibility of war occurred, the urgent
necessity for such connection became
apparent. Speaking from memory,
think it was President Madison who
recommended in one of his messages
to congress that such a waterway be
constructed. In all probability he was
led to see the need of such a thing
by the war of 1872,
The work of construction of the
present Chesapeake q Delaware. canal
was begun on the 18th day of April
1924, under the direction of Silas +.
Weir, whose services terminated with
his life on the 14th day of May 1928.
He was succeeded by Rober NJ. Lewis
under whose supervision the work was
completed.
The water was turned into the ca
nal on the 4th day of July, 1929 The
opening up of the national enterprise
was the occasion of a grand celebra'
tion on the 18th of October in the
same year.
Tho length of the canal is 1875
miles.
Width at water line, 66 feet.
Depth Of water, 10 feet.
