The first annual convention of the
Atlantic Deeper Waterways Association
viii be held in Baltimore beginning to-
morrow and continuing Wednesday
and Thursday The formal opening of
the convention will be preceded to-
night by an informal reception at the
Hotel Belvedere.
Tomorrow and Wednesday will be
devoted largely to the reading and dis
cussion of papers relating to the pro-
jects advocated by the association. To-
morrow night the delegates will at
tend a theatre party and on Wednes-
day night there will be an elaborate
banquet. at which covers will be laid
for 500 persons. On Thursday there
viii be an inspection of the harbor OF
Baltimore and it's approaches, the trip
extending to Annapolis, where the dele
gates will inspect the Naval Academy
Among those who are expected TO at
tend the convention are the Governors
of several States. United States Sena-
tors, Congressman and prominent Off
cials and private citizens. The Allan
tic Deeper Waterways Association, of
which Congressman Moore is president
has for its object the pushing of plans
for a system of canals and other in
land water routes to extend from
Maine to Florida and of sufficient
depth to accommodate vessels of heavy
draft. 1t is expected that before the
close of the week a definite move will
be made toward asking the govern
ment to make a beginning on the pro-
posed canal route, by taking over and
deepening the central link, the Chesa-
peake and Delaware canal.

campaign for commercial prosperity, and the adj
vantages of the State capital will be set forth in
every possible manner. Some of the objects of
the association, as suggested by the State News
are:
Building better buildings.
Larger stores and more and cheaper goods.
Good streets.
A complete sewer system.
More factories and mills
More dwelling houses and improvements
A $4,000 State monument in Dover.
A new State library.
A trolley built by State aid.
One thousand more good citizens.
Dover by all means should have a system OF
sewers. In the lack of sewers Dover is behind
some of the other towns of the Peninsula. The
effort for one thousand more citizens is also
worthy of special commendation. There are few
towns anywhere really more attractive as places
of residence than Dover, and the wonder of visit
ors is that the population does not increase more
rapidly. But to increase the population of a town
there must be factories and means of employment
not only 70 bring new residents, but to keep the
young men of the town from leaving for other
places where they may find employment. The
drain of the young men from the State towns is
something tremendous The young men must
have opportunities for employment, and il they
cannot find them at home, they go to other places.
The building of trolley system by State aid
is evidently a project that will come before the
next session of the Legislature, and is worthy of
consideration, although there doubtless will be
strong objections.
More and better dwellings should be COM
mendable object of the association.
Apart from the specific recommendations con-
tanned in the foregoing the Business Mems Asso-
citation can do great deal to stir up civic pride.
The meetings OF the association will become an
open forum for the discussion of everything that
relates to the prosperity of Dover, and the asso-
citation is certain to accomplish much good not
only for Dover itself but for the State as we'll
We trust that other towns of the State will fol-
low the example of Dover in endeavor to
arouse new civic life.

A PODRIELA OF INTEREST
AT ELEVENTH STREET RINK

By carefully studying the wishes of the
old and new patrons Of Eleventh Street
Rink. the new management has seemingly
settled down to a policy that is satisfying
all. Monday and Thursday nights are
given to polo and roller skating and the
three teams. the Springs, the Lenox and
Mohawks. are the best representatives Of
this popular sport ever brought together.
The local rivalry is strong and equal TO
the interest of outside teams. The man
agement will shortly bring foreign teams
to the rink to contest with the locals, the
difficulty being to find teams worthy of
the mettle of the Wilmington boys. The
Baltimore League began last week and
the teams from that city will soon be
available The Philadelphia team is also
shaping up. Ladies' night, Tuesday Of
each week Is growing and the fact that
the ladies are admitted free makes it pos
sible for the working girls to attend at re-
duced expense. Wednesday night is the
off night OF the week and the occasion
best suited for beginners and those desir-
ing quiet practice and for the present
the MANAGEMENT will not have anything
special on this night Friday night is the
real night Of the week. the night of the
lively little folks and Manager Cloward
and his assistants were so pleased with
last Fridays opening success that this
night will he held sacredy for the chill
dren and each night will bring forth new
games OF interest Tho hoop rolling is
good for a season of fun. The rink is
open in the afternoons for beginners. The
rink hand is more than satisfactory to
the management and the people. ON
Thanksgiving Eve, the second masque-
rade Of the season will be given.
