Fine Haul of Fish at Kits Hammock

Robert Knight haul of fish off Kitt' s
Hammock last Monday and Tuesday
nights, during the warm spell, netted
him from $500 to 800. 1t is the great
est haul said to have. been made by a
fisherman. Mr.. Knight, thanks to the
warm wave, struck an Immense school
OF the delicious rock fish, so much in
demand in the metropolitan hotels and
on every mans table. The rock which
he hanled in weighed from to z
pounds apiece. He hauled them to-
Dover in great two horse farm wagon.
He shipped 21S5 pounds by Pennsyl-
vania freight to Philadelphia and OBJ
tanned for them $437. While he was
preparing for shipment the people OF
Dover applied at his shipping platform
and were bountifully supplied with the
fine fish at 20 cents per pound. The
ingathering of such profitable haul is
attributed to two causes, knowing
when to strike and dumb luck.

FAVORABLE REPORT
ON G. & D. CANAL
Route Across Delaware and MARYLAND
May be Bought by U. S.
IT HAS MANY ADVANTAGES

Washington, Jan. II. = A report
favorable to the present Chesapeake
E Delaware canal. or back creek route
across the Maryland and Delaware
peninsula, has been submitted to Sec
retary Taft by the Chesapeake e. Della.
ware canal commission, consisting of
General Felix Agnus, chairman; Major
c. A. F. Flagler, U. s. A., and Civil
Engineer Frank Taylor Chambers. u.
s.
This commission was appointed last
summer to report upon the back creek
route and the Sassafras river routes
and the construction of a free and
open waterway with sufficient depth
to accompodate the largest ships
ships afoat. The present route is held
to be more desirable because it has
equal commercial and strategic ad-
vantages and will, in. the opinion of
the commission, be $2,15O,OOO cheaper
than the other route.
1t is recommended in the report that
not more than S2,514,2S9 be paid for
the present canal
The commission further recon-
mends that the present canal be pur-
chased without delay and that it be
gradually widened into a large water
way capable of accommodating ships
of any draft.
Although there were many argu-
ments before the commission for a
cha1lOw canal bptuooo tho noIou,oro
and Chesapeake bays which would
supplement the proposed barge canal
between Beaufort. N. c., and Norfolk
Va, the commission is firmly of the
opinion that nothing less than a So
foot canal should be constructed. Esti
mates for a canal of this depth and
with minimum width of $50 feet are
submitted. The width is extended tc
200 feet in marshes and in curves is
increased to $50 feet. A sea level cana
of the dimensions named would in the
opinion of the commission cost 500.
621,329. With 80 foot channel such
canal would cost s17,312,O64.
Such a canal would shorten the dis
tance between Baltimore and Philadel
phia 923 miles and would lessen the
distance between Baltimore and th'
mouth of the Delaware by 1S4 miles
The report states that all hearings
conducted by the commission showed
congestion of freight throughout thu
east which the railways are unable t;
handle satisfactorily, and the develop
ment of waterways are urged as neces
sary to meet the great demand fo
transportation.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon of De-
cember 80 the tail-end shaft of the
Ponce broke and she drifted at the
mercy of the wind and current until
the night of January 7, when she was
sighted by the German steamer Eliza

Philadelphia for Japan. At $50 p. m.
the Ponce sent up a rocket and few
minutes later the German vessel al
tered her course and headed for the
disabled steamer The Rickmers reach

was dark and stormy Captain Walsen
decided to stand by the Ponce until
daylight. At 9 o'clock in the morning

FARMERS MAY FORM A UNION
" VIII Help Them to Get Large Profits
and Good Men.

and Good Men.
LII Will probably be interesting to
many people hereabouts to know that
there is good prospect of the solution
OF the farm labor problem in Delaware
and Maryland in the near future. If
the situation is not altogether relieved
1t Will be sufficiently improved to per-
NIT of general congratulations all
around.
Steps are to be undertaken in the
spring, according to Edward Hirsch,
president of the American Federation
OF Labor, to place farm work on basis
OF such attractiveness as to insure a
supply of laborers. The feature of the
plan which is to be put into effect is
the organization of farmowers for the
purpose of securing equitable returns
for their products and the organization
of their employees for the purpose of
securing wages commensurate with
the tasks they are called upon to per-
form and sufficient to constitute an in
ducement to country lads to remain at
home, rather than seek the rather
tempting prospects that are now Of
fered by city employment.
Mr.. HMsch had been asked for so
luton of the farm-labor problem, con-
corning which the Maryland State Bu--
reau of immigration has exercised it.
self considerably recently, and which
has likewise been thorn in the flesh
OF other commonwealths generally.
The recent decision of the Supreme
Court in the case of one of the Caro-
linas holding that foreign labor may
be imported for farm work has been
the only rift in the clouds that have
lowered menacsngly over the prospects
OF future prosperity of the rural dis
tricts of the South.
''It il within the power of the farm
ers to solve their own riddle" con.
tinued Mr.. Hirsch, land L believe they
are going to do it. There has been or
ganized recently the American Society
of Equity of North America, which
has just become affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor. The
new organization is composed of farm
ers and their employees, and its pur-
pose is to bring about better conditions
for both.
81 have here letter from head
quarters, in Indianapolis, stating that
early in the spring organizers will be
sent into the various States for the
purpose of organizing the farm people
Into Maryland and Delaware they will
come as elsewhere, and I look fol
much good as the result of their visit
1.-THE first thing that will be done
will be to arrange for fairer return
for the products of the soil. This will
be accomplished through an under
standing between the farmers that will
result in their securing better prices
from the middlemen who handle thei
products. With the farmer getting hi
just dues we will speedily find that h.
will take care of his farm hands. H

They Stand Alone.

Standing out in bold relief, all alone,

Medical Discovery, the famous remedy
for weak stomach, Indigestion, or dys-
pepsia, torpid liver, or biliousness, all
catarrhal affections whether of the
stomach, bowels, kidneys, bladder, nasal
passages, throat, bronchia. or other mu-
cOus passages, also as an effective remedy
for all diseases arising from thin, watery
or impure blood, as scrofulous and skin
affections.
Each bottle of the above medicines
bears upon its wrapper a badge of hon
esty in the full list of Ingredients COM
posing Imprinted i'l plain English.
This frank and open publicity places
seLUes, and is the best guaranty of their
merits. They cannot be classed as patent
nor secret medicines for they are neither
being of k1lO1O1l composition.
DIR. Pierce feels that he can afford to
take the afflicted into his full confidence
and lay all the ingredients of his medi-
cines freely before them because these
ingredients are such as are endorsed and
most strongly praised by scores of the
most eminent medical writers as cures
for the diseases for which these medi-
cines are recommended. Therefore, the
afflicted do not have to rely alone upon
DIR. Pierce's recommendation as to the
curative value of his medicines for GER
tain easily recognized diseases.
A glance at the printed formula on
each bottle will show that no alcohol and
no harmful or haEit-forming drugs enter
into DIR. Pierce's medicines, they being
wholly compounded of glyceric extracts
of the roots OF native, American forest
plants. These are best and safest for
the cure of most lingering, chronic dis
eases. DIR. r. V. Pierce can be consulted

tract of sarsaparilla blended with two
grains of combination of pure and
mild vegetable products, making it a
blood purifier unexcelled in character.

MARKETING APPLES.
A Lesson Which the Farmers Have
Learned This Year.

Selling on the trees is an expensive
way of selling fruit for one has to sell
at discount. The buyer must protect
himself and he must have a guarantee
against loss from windstorms and the
like. This year the growers of apples
in Illinois found it difficult to get into
touch with the sellers. Senator Henry
NJ. Dunlap believes that the Illinois
fruit growers have learned a Lesson
this year they will long remember.
For few years past the buyers have
had to come to them, and the fruit
growers have insisted that the buyers
should provide packages. But this year
the tables have turned. says Farmers
Review. The growers have had to
hunt the buyers. and they were hard
to find. This year the buyers were
scattered all over the United States
looking for apples. while in recent
years many have been found in Illinois
and neighboring states. The large
supplies of apples in other states this
year drew away the buyers and the
growers had to hasten to get buyers
for their stuff.
Some of the buyers that generally
look after Illinois apples were this
year in New York. There they watched
the crop and tried to buy it, hoping
to get it at from rs cents to SIPS per
barrel. or at most $3.50 per barrel
The New York growers refused to
sell at that figure and sat down and
waited. At every large apple center
in New York were found buyers wait
ing for the farmers to come to their
senses" But the farmers did not
come to their senses, and the buyers
had to give in. They finally paid from
$3.50 to $2.25 for their apples. But in
the West the apples sold for a very
low price where the growers were not
in position to pack their own ap-
pies. The buyers prefer that the farm
ers pack their own apples when they
do it right. The only reason that the
buyers want to pack the apples they
buy is because the farmers do not
generally pack the apples as the buy
being equal. the buyers prefer to have
the growers do the packing, as that
relieves the buyers of the necessity
of packing the fruit. The growers can
pack the fruit much more cheaply
than the buyers. as the growers can
generally get some help from their
families. and they also have hired
men that are working by the month.
The buyer has to go out and hire day
labor at a high price. and he has to
spend his own time in supervision.
