BIG BOON FOR
THE DELAWARE
Men Are Planning a Great
Hive of Industries Along
The River
MANY FACTORIES SPRING UP

WASHINGTON. d. c., Aug. 4.-The
deepening Of the Delaware river channel
SO as to facilitate the business Of the
port Of Philadelphia and the cities To-
Gated on the river has resulted in
scheme for great Industrial enterprises
in and around the city of Chester While
Philadelphia is working to harmonize its
trade interests and make that city a more
important factor in the business Of the
country. enterprisng men just over the
border line in Delaware county are plan
ming an Industrial city that will be an
adjunct TO Philadelphia. Some time ago
the Baldwin Locomotive Co. Of Phil
adelphia, built a branch at Eddystone
located partly on the Delaware river and
also on Crum Creek. When the move
began for the Improvement Of Philadel-
phia and the deepening of the river chan
mel was assured inquiries were made for
river front locations for new Industrial
establishments.
It was found that not one foot OF
ground between Marcus Hook and Phila-
delphia was on the market at rates that
would tempt a new enterprise. Every
body was holding for an immense in
crease in prices that is expected to come
surely with the revival OF business and
the natural expansion of Philadelphia.
Then Il was decided by the Baldwin
Locomotive Company and others I'm busi-
ness in the section around Chester TO
ask Congress to deepen and make navi-
gable TO barges and other boats carrying
rough cargoes Crum Creek. Chester and
Ridley Creeks. The Baldwin Locomotive
Company is steadily increasing its plant
at Eddystone, and eventually there will
rise at that place a great locomotive
manufacturing concern. Representative
Butler introduced a bill in Congress.
which passed, authorizing that Crum
Creek be made 60 feet in width and /.
feet deep. This is to extend about one
mile back into the country The idea is
to have the stream kept at that depth.
and sites for mills on its banks will be
offered to manufacturers. The Pennsyl-
vania and Reading and Baltimore and
Ohio companies have given assurances
that they will aid the scheme and run
sidings from their main lines to all the
factories along tho creek.
Having Crum Creek under way. atten-
tion was next directed to Chester Creek
During the past week delegation Of
property owners, escorted by Represen-
tative Butler. appeared before the board
OF Government Engineers in this city and
argued for a survey of Chester Creek 50
as to make the stream navigahle for
about three-quarters. Of .- milo from its
mouth. Next will come Ridley Creek.

UNCLE SAM LOSES
MUCH REVENUE
DeIaware'S Federal Liquor
Fees Fall off About
$5O.OOO

The wave of prohibition that has
been sweeping over the country cost
the government exactly S164l, ,9iS.42 in
revenue IN the fiscal year ending with
June 30.
OF this amount Delaware contributes
its share. Since the two lower coun-
ties went dry the revenue of the hi-
ternal revenue Office at the Federal
Building here. fell Off to the amount Of
more than $4,000.
OF this sum it is estimated that s25.
600 was lost through taxes on frui-
brandy and an additional amount from
$4,000 to $4,000 in revenue by the clos
Ing of the large distillery at Dover.
In addition to these sums about
$1,000 was also lost in special taxes.
Washington special says:
The wave Of prohibition that has
been sweeping over the United States
cost the Government exactly 1854. e
91S.42 in revenue in the fiscal year ned
ing with June 80
The loss is calculated from the re-
turns from spirits and fermented
liquors in the preceding fiscal year OF
this large sum the heaviest loss wds
traceable to the decreasing manu-
facture and use of whisky Beer.
porter and other similar liquors came
next in the proportion of lost revenue.
The acting Commissioner of Internal
Revnue, Robert Williams, Jr.. says in
his report that the revenue from
whisky fell off more than s5,5000, 900.
A peculiarity of the report is that
the people of the United States. while
throttling a thirst, have let their crav-
ing for narcotics apparently go I'M
checked. The increased revenue from
tobacco exceeded $4,000. .OO0 and the
army of cigarette smokers contributed
a good portion of this, the increased
amount paid in as a result of the
growth of this habit being S722, ,245. 30
That the cigarette is supplanting the
cigar is shown by the fact that tn,
loss Of revenue on cigars over thc
previous fiscal year was nearly $780,
900.
There were more than 100000 gal
Ions less distilled spirits consumed
nearly 2,5OO.OOO barrels Of ale and beef
and 152. 1856. $50 fewer cigars smoked
on the other hand, the cigarett,
smokers of the country burned up 703..
1O5.065 more cigarettes than in tho

Suggestion For a Days Food.
Kate Upson Clark gives
the following menu for a hot
summer day:
If you want breakfast, dry
toast or a crusty roll, with
whatever beverage, preferably
cocoa, you like, may suffice.
Fruit or eggs may be added,
and some feel that they can
not get along without a chop
OF a bit of steak.
For luncheon cold meat, sal
ad. with little or no oil and
iced tea or lemonade are gen
orally enough.
For dinner a light soup,
with fish, lamb, beef OF game,
green vegetables, salad and
fruit, either stewed or raw,
should serve.
If coffee is desired it is best
without milk.
