canal some years ago. and his paper was
Of value especially as coming from one
who had been ION the iob."
There was another interesting feature,
too. a pumpkin pie feast provided by the
women Of the grange. Pumpkin pies from
many ovens in and around Talleyville
made their appearance and were cut ur
into trlangles to tickle the palates OF the
hearty grangers. All had tried 70 make
the best possible pumpkin pie and many
would have taken prizes at the biggest
county fair IN the country. All the piles
were eaten with appetities sharpened by
the FRESH country air and there was not
a case Of indigestion 70 record. with
the pies there was music and singing un-
der the direction Of the lecturer. Mrs JOS
eph Mousley. Of Taleyville.
Next month Brandywine Grange and
New Castle Grange viii exchange visits

esting survey Of the history Of the canal
and of the work on it by the United. States
Government.
Speaking Of the present work on the
canal and its prospects. he said:

ing the work along rapidly. But it is con.

merce and will be great convenience il

next president whether he be William ]

the building Of the canal with as mucl
force and effectiveness as Presiden
Roosevelt has done, When complete IN

OR OF FOREST
FIRES OVER CITY

The big forest fires in Pennsylvania
are beginning to affect Wilmington.
Last night there was Throughout the
city the distinct odor Of burning leaN es
and dry forest wood. Accompanying
the odor was a slight haze of smoke
from the fires that made the prevailins
fog seem unusually heavy.
The big forest fires in the adjoining
State have worried the State authors
ties there for seye-al weeks. The pro-
longed drought has given the flames
great liberty and there is little success
in efforts to check them
In the burning districts the great
clouds OF smoke from the fires have
clouded whole counties and when there
came big shift Of tn wind toward
Delaware it was not surprising that the
smoke clouds came in part to VIII
mington. A shift of the wind this
morning took both odor and haze from
the city.
