Considerable has been said during
the last year about the regeneration
Of the old South ella canal irrigation
enterprise. but about all that could be
learned was that several Cincinnati

a letter that was written primarily con-
corning school matters, but incidental
IL il gives proof that there is much
going on there in an industrial way.
The school part of it is a plea for the
maintenance of a school there by the
county. Superintendent Fulton said
he would be glad 10 recommend 1t
whenever he could legally do so. The
supervisors sometime ago created

lowing is Mr.. Fulton's letter:

therefore gone to some trouble and no
little expense to relieve the mind OF
its Camp Manzanita subscriber, who II
is presumed has kept his subscription
paid up.
IL cannot answer the question fully,
but it is prepared 10 throw out certain
hints which may lead the subscriber
to a solution OF any doubt he may have
as to AS status in the above described
Pinochle contest.
It appears to be immaterial whether
A has $40 or any other number or
whether he plays the ace of trumps or
not The whole thing seems to hinge
on the fact that he has "23" in tricks.
II seems incontrovertible. therefore,
that with the fatal number "23" in
his possession. he. not only properly
declared himself out but that he ought
to have been put out and sent skidoo-
ing. Having reasoned the thing out to
this point. it must be plain to the sub
scriber that being put into this posi-
ton, a could not win.

DIED ON THE TRAIN


While riding on a Delaware Railroad
train Monday afternoon with his wife and
five small children, Joseph Bosting, a
native of Baltimore, Md, died just before
reaching the station in this town. Bost-
ing, who was Bohemian, had been en-
ployed in canning factory in Lewes and
was on his way home when death sud-
denly ended his journey.
The first intimation his wife had OF
anything being wrong was when she
turned around to converse with her hus-
band and discovered be was dead in his
seat. His death was due to appoplexy,
and the Coroner learning the cause, de-
cided an inquest unnecessary and Under
taker W. ]. Wilson took charge of the
body and shipped it to his late home in
Baltimore on Tuesday morning.
The bereaved wife and her children
were cared for while here by several oi
our ladies, who looked after their wants
and made everything as comfortable as
possible for the unfortunate family.

THE OLD WELL ABANDONED
The Light and Water Commission viii
Spend $3.50 on 90 Foot Well

The Light and Water Commission VIII
Spend $3.50 on 90 Foot Well
The most important question to the
tax payers Of Middletown just now is the
water supply and the possibility OF haV-
ing to sink another deep well at cost Of
several thousand dollars. One Of the two
deep wells which have been furnishing US
with water for several years, had to be
abandoned few weeks ago, owing to the
great quantity of sand which it was
pumping to the surface, causing the
water to be unfit for drinking purposes.
After hclIing several meetings the
Light and Water Commission decided to
have Mr.. Norman Shannahan, OF Easton,
Md, come here and make thorough in
spection Of the well, and if possible putt
in working order, but Mr.. Shannahan ad-
vised them to abandon it. He was of the
opinion that it would be impossible to
repair the well and so advised the Com
mission.
Realizing the task Of providing another
we'll was serious question, the Com
mission at a recent meeting decided to
make some necessary repairs to the old 80
foot well which has been furnishing water
for the boilers at the station for several
months. This well flows within 16 foot
of the surface and recent test disclosed
the fact that its capacity was so gallons
of water per minute, or sufficient guam
tity to supply the whole town of neces-
sary. The greatest cost in putting the old
well in good condition for service, will be
the purchasing OF new pump; the one at
the abandoned we'll being too large for
the small one, and it is the intention Of
the Commission to dispose OF the pump if
possible and use the money received for
it to help defray the expense of purchas-
ing the new one.
The actual cost of the necessary i'm
provements will not exceed $3.50, and if
sufficient water can be pumped from the
old well to supply the demand, the tax
payers of our town may congratulate
themselves over the fact that $3.50 of their
cash has accomplished more than the
many thousands Of dollars which have
been sunk in deep wells in the past.
