Two new range lights of the latest
type have been installed at the mouth
of Smyrna River by the United States
Government. These lights will be put
in service on Christmas Eve and will
replace the temporary lights now used
by the Smyrna transportation & Man

which are of sufficient candle power to
meet all needs are much higher than
the temporary lights now used and will
be a great convenience to navigation
in finding the channel when coming in

have been found necessary for some
years and three years ago Mr.. A. E.

ger of the Smyrna Transportation
and Manufacturing Company, put up
two temporary lights which the Com
pany has since been maintaining at its
own expense. Now that the Govern
ment has taken hold of the project,
new and impr owed range lights have
been put up which are not only stronger
but more durable. These lights will
be under the direction of Capt. Joseph

With each of the range lights there are

view OF the Syndicate having them in
their possession within weeks time,
after which immediate preparations
will be made for construction work to
be taken in hand. Mr.. Endean states
that the office will remain here, where
his headquarters as Chief Engineer
will be maintained. The main shops
will also be in Smyrna and this with
the headquarter offices will employ
from 21j to 300 men. Just where the
shops will be erected has not been def
nitely settled upon but the probabil-
ties are that the Cats lot on Main
street next to Lake Como will be pur-
chased. The main power station will
be at st. Georges aud sub-stations and
workshops will be at Camden and Mil
ford. Designs for a fitting steel bridge
to span the Chesapeake Canal at st.
Georges and Appoquinimink River at
Odessa, are being prepared, so that
contracts for the work may be given
out In the near future. There will
also be dillisent inquiries made

OnFeygR STRIKES DELAWARE PENINSULA
Milford Property Owner Will Sink 5000 Foot
Well and Land Values Adjacent GO Up

The oil fever has struck some of the
new landowners in Milford Neck.
Frank Greece, the millionaire from
GIllston, Pa who recently put
colony of Italians on his nine farms
along the Delaware bay shore, has
secured options on all the land that
adjoins his properties and will start
work on well to tie depth of 5000
feet on the Governor Polk farm. In
nearly all the water holes on his farm
may be seen oil floating on top of the
water and it is the opinion of Mr..
Greece that a gusher of oil can be found
on the land. Since Mr.. Greece has
made known his plans the old farmers
in Milford Neck, whose lands are near
the place where the we'll will be sunk,
have advanced prices on their lands
about double. One farmer asked
$1,000 for his farm, and when the price
was accepted, refused to accept. He
was then offered 81 900 more, but would
not sell. He is wsiting to see the oil
gushing up on his neighbor's farm.
