SUCCESSFUL MEETING.
q HE AlIantic peeper waterways CO.

HE Atlantic Deeper Waterways Convention
in session in Baltimore, has proved very
successful. The proceedings of the meeting
. proval OF the inner coast system of waterways,
which plan concerns Delaware, as our own
Chesapeake and Delaware ship canal is one OF the
important connecting links in such a system
The report of the convention favors the our
chase of the present canal by the government,
and it is more than probable that the first step
towards the realization of the inner system will
be the purchase of this canal Congress is to be
asked to issue bonds to provide for the entire
project
The survey oEthc Chesapeake and Delaware
canal has been made, the report of the Maryland
commission has been approved and the thing to
be done now is TO work up sentiment among the
people in favor of the whole project so that Con-
Rress will recognize the necessity for the move
ment The people of Delaware should center
their attention on the purchase of this canal, as
the initial step in the great movement the success
ef which seems to be only question of time.
Congressman-elect Heald will have no more
important duty to perform at Washington than
working for this canal project. Congressman
Burton has made credtabe record in this line
OF cndeavor, and we believe the new congressman
viii continue the coed work of agitation that is
already SO well under way.
The construction OF the waterway system is
huge task. But big things do not come without
effort The important part for Delaware is that
The inner waterway system will most probably
start with the acquiring by the government of
the Chesapeake and Delaware ship canal and we
should keep alive the agitation for the purchase

A NEW oaArr.

One Of the latest types of swindle
that has been pcrpetrated on some OF
the unsuspecting farmers of n western
locality was worked I'm this wise:
There has been good deal OF talk
about bovine tuberculosis In the state
In question. and. taking their cue
from this. two fellows joined hands
TO fleece the dairymen OF the section.
One. well dressed. wearing glasses and
having professional and learned bear
Ing, went through u neighborhood In
speeding the dairy cows, representing
himself TO be a state dairy Inspector
In one instance when he ran across n
good looking herd OF cows he con
demned dozen animals as afflicted
with tuberculosis. but told the farmer
on leaving not to say anything about
IL, but TO sell them for whatever he
could get for shipment out of the
state. Two or three days after this
fakir No. 2. Informed on the quiet OF
what had been done. came along TO
the farmers place and asked II he
had any cows for sale. The farmer
explained matters and thought himself
lucky to get $50 apiece for the sup
posedly diseased animals When he
learned few days later that the whole
business was fake pure and simple
the dictionary was entirely inadequate
to furnish words which would express
his feelings. Whether the victim OF
this game has recovered his property
we have not learned. 1t Is n pretty
good thing to give the good looking.
