is out of the question so far as tying up
there is concerned. The stretch OF bank
between the Jessup * Moore wharf and
Pine street bridge is a mass of mud and
small stones, and boats will find It rather
hazardous to anchor there AT one time
the owners of some of the boats kept
them on the south side of the Brandy
wine opposite the Rocks, but this property
having passed into the possession OF the
Water Department, is being converted
into a park, with high sea wall, which
leaves no wharf there suitable for the
purpose.
As result of all these changes, growing
out of the business development in that
section of the city some of the boat
owners. most of whom live In that part
of town. are casting about for "a suitable
place in which 20 keep their boats. a
few of them have found anchorage for
the time being, but the majority so far
as can be learned arc at a loss 70 know
what 20 do.
Probably 25 boats Of the better class
and a few not so good, are kept in that
part OF the Brandywine. Originally
everything there was in the rowboat or
sailboat class, but during the past few
years powerboats have made their ap-
| pearance and now there are several speedy
naphtha launches. There are still some
sailboats and q few rowboats, but the ones
/ in which the greatest interest now centres
/ are the powerboats some of which are
/ among the fastest in the local harhor
and it is these boats about which thC
| greatest onccern is felt, as the owner
want to have places to keep them where
they will not be damaged, and in order
| to do this it is necessary to have gool
wharfage and shelter in winter
The present condition is due solely tC
the advance made by industry In thai
section Of the city and to no other cause
and as properties along the stream ar
required, from time 70 time, by manu-
featuring concerns, the pleasure yach
anchorage will gradually disappear whicl
is the natural result OF development u
every thriving city like Wilmington.
While most of the boats referred q
above are pleasure craft, several OF then
are used in the fishing industry. Sewers
men live in what is known as Brandywin
Village, now a part of the Ninth ware
who devote a part of each year to fshin
in the Delaware River, chiefly for shac
and they all have boats the majority {
which have been kept in that localit!
Some of the fishermen also have hous'
boats, and there are several houseboai
r which are kept along the Brandywlr
in that locality permanently.

A New Year Creed.

To keep myself from having hate
For them that through their efforts rise
To have the strength TO recognize
The qualities that make them great;
To sit not idly blaming fate
When /, shortsighted or unwise,
Have weakly failed to s,rasp the prize
And wait alone outside the gate:
To pierce the gloom with shafts of glee,
To try again when 1 have tried
And, though hundred times denied
That which Is fair. to bravely be
Cndaunted and uncrushed: to see
Their worth who struggle at my side
And at the end with decent pride
To meet whatever faces me.

Northern Pacific Burlington train
that his train, with it's human

of a narrow escape of the Burling-

1--WE were six miles east of Nix

thrown from my seat by the stop
ping of the train. l regained my
seat only to be thrown to the other
seat Immediately. The train was
stopped and We all got out to see
what was the matter. Within eight
feet of the engine was a pile of
rock. If the train had hit that
rock 1t would have gone down the
embankment into the Clarke Forks
river and killed many people"
Several people were slightly
bruised by the shaking up received
by the sudden stopping Of the train
but Engineer Miller saved them
a worse fate.

WINGED that the same does not
