CREEK SHOULD
BE DEEPENED
Maj. Raymond Reports that
Local District Is Worthy
of Improvement
2l FOOT CHANNEL
SHOULD BIZ MAINTAINED

Major r. r. Raymond, L. e. engi-
neer. In charge of this district, Mas
completed his anuanl report of i'm
provement in the Wilmington harbor
to be submitted TO the War Depart
ment.
Reporting on the dredging of the
Christiana River, Major Raymond
gives the results of the operations as
a channel 10 feet deep at mean low
water and about Is feet wide from the
entrance at the mouth Of the Christi
ana to Market street bridge. He eX-
presses the opinion that this locality
is worthy of further Improvement and
says that IL is manifestly of little BEN
eft to the harbor TO dredge to a pro-
ject depth of 21 feet unless this depth
shall be continually maintained. The
depth Of p fet was obtained I'm 1901.
The annual shoaling since the 2l-foot
channel was completed has amounted
to 330.750 cubic yards. Major Ray
mond estimates that annual appropri-
ations Of $4,000 must be provided If
present methods of dredging are to be
continued.
Major Raymond recommends that
dredging be done by government
owned dregde of modern type, esti-
mating that the average annual cost
wi be 35 per cent less than at pres
ent. Such a dredge would cost about
$4,000 and could be operated for
about 100000 per year.
The following estimate of additional
funds required for the fiscal year end
ing June 30, 1912 is made Repairing
ietties, S105.000; dredging, $4,000;
purchas of dregding plant, $l75,0O0;
total, $4,000.
A summary Of commercial statistics
Of the harbor as prepared by Major
Raymond show total receipts and
shipments for 1909 TO have been Sl5,-
245 tons of value of S64,707,575.
There is approximately two million
dollars invested In freight and pas
senger lines doing business In this
harbor. while the report says S33,000,-
600 invested i'm manufacturing and
mercantile interests I'm the Christiana
river
Commenting on shipbuilding statis-
tics the report says that some of the
shipyards here have been prevented
from bidding on certain repair work
because of insufficient width and
depth of the harbor.

Tho National FIaq.

The first display of the national flag
at a military post was at Fort Schuy-
Ter, on the site Of the present city of
Rome, N. Y. The fort was besieged
early in August 177. The garrison
was without a flag. so one was made
according to the prescription Of con-
gress by cutting up sheets to form the
white stripes. bits Of scarlet cloth for
the red stripes. and the blue ground
Tor the stars was made from a piece Of
the blue cloak belonging to Captain
Abraham Swartwout Of Duchess
county, N. Y. This flag was unfurlcd
over the fort on Aug. 3, 1717.
The national flag was first unfurled
in battle on the banks Of the Brandy
wine Sept. II. 1777. The flag was
first hoisted over foreign stronghold
June %, 1778, when Captain Rathbone
of the American sloop Of war Provi-
dence captured Fort Nassau, on the
Bahama islands. Captain Paul Jones
was the first man to display the Amer
lean flag on an American vessel. This
flag was made by the women Of Ports
mouth, N. H., for the Ranger, which
was fitted out at that port for Captain
Jones. The Ranger sailed from Ports
mouth on Nov. l, 1777.

Buried landscapes,

One Of the most curious results Of
geological exploration is the discovery
of buried landscapes by which is
meant parts of the former face of the
earth now covered under later depos-
its, but yet retaining so many Of their
original features that the geologist can
ideally reconstruct the scenes that
would have been presented to the eye
Of man If he had been present among
them. Sometimes buried landscapes
exist in countries now densely inhabit-
ed. Investigation has shown that one
lies beneath the region In England
known as Charnwood forest. The
rocky projections seen there are the
peaks and aretes Of buried mountain
chain belonging to the old red sand
stone period. Several different phases
in the history Of this landscape have
been traced. At one time it contained
salt lakes and desert expanses. In its
modern form it is pastoral region,
with barren. stony tracts and rocky
eminences where the ancient noun
tains project through the soil.-Detroit
