Terminal.
Ready to erect Depot if
people come half way.

A plat showing the shape and
amount of land required for Y &
Depot, also necessary side tracks
is already drawn up and ready
for execution if as. Worthington
on whose land these improve.
ments are desired, is ready to do
business along these lines.
The Short Line people are will
ing and ready to make extended
improvements if grounds can be
secured for Depot and terminal
purposes.
The total amount of land re-
quired is so acres. The Operat-
Department is anxious to take
oyer the line by the 18th of the
present month, but if done it will
be at disadvantage owing to
lack of Y. Every effort is being
made to have Daily Trains RUM
ing within week with prospects
of a Motor Car running two trips
day each way, but unless prop
er terminal grounds can be sec
ured the impro, ements referred
to will have to be deferred.
A Meeting was also hal with
the people at Marion and Island.
Both OF these towns were vieing
with each other in offering induce
ments to obtain the Depot site
and finally a place was agreed
upon about half way between the
two settlements, which is very
accessible and close by both Of
these places.
There were about fifty residents
gathered who donated the grad
ing for side tracks and also the
land tor Central Depot. Work
will be taken up immediat telv and
the Depot of this end may be
placed between M Marion & Island.
A Y may also he put in there and
trains run in to Oakley and back
to Marion for turning if the peo-

matter while there is an oppor-
tune time.
Few Industries or Commercial
pursuits can DO more for the up
building of community than do
the Railroads. Oakley today is
favoured with two roads. What
ever attitude the people may take
toward either of these operating
concerns will not turn them away
nor change their plans materially,
while if the interest and growth
of the town is what the people
are concerned about, they would
do themselves an everlasting
favor to encourage both of these
Companies.
SO far as assisting in, ordis.
couraging either from certain
territory, transcontinental lines
paw little attention to these small
obstacles and is a matter almost
wholly between themselves, while
on the other hand if the people of
a certain community encourage
both they have opened the way
tor a greater and better town by
extending the welcome hand OF
Industry and the matter of ac-
cepeing the proposition is left
with other people, while to refuse
that encourage cement and welcome
will be sure to place themselves
in their own light.
By her past record Oakley has
been eager to grasp hold of sucf
propositions and this question
now confronting them will nc
doubt receive their earnest sup
port and prompt action.

KENT FARMERS TAKE
INITIATIVE IN MATTER

DOVER, Del, Jan. 3O--Farmers
discussing some of the most import
ant acts of legislation now proposed
in the Delaware Legislature, at
meeting and conference of Capitol
Grange, and committees were put out
to look after the interests, directly, OF
the farmers.
w. G. Moore, chairman of the COM
mittee to make inquiry into the wide
difference between the cost of board
ing prisoners and the amounts charg-
ed the counties by the New Castle
County Workhouse officials, made
report. Mr.. Moore also stated, in eX-
PLANTATION, the prices OF crushed stone.
and building stone and freight rates:
to rise at the cost of building
permanent roads through Delaware
by the aid of labor of the prisoners,
as well as the advisability Of bring
ing the prisoners back TO the indiyi-
dual counties and putting them TO
work, as in Georgia, at breaking
stone on the roads and building and
repairing permanent roads. All this
was presented for discussion in con-
/ trast to the payment by the counties
OF forty cents per day for its prison
ers in the reformatOry when the re-
ports showed that their board actually
averaged the trustees only nine cents
] per day The report of the commit
tee was considered at length and then
! the committee was continued to make
! further Investigations.
Assemblymen William II. Marvel
and George W. TebO were present
during the discussion.
w. c. Moore read the pure seed bill,
which is now before the General As
sembly, and the farmers thought they
saw trouble ahead in this measure, al
though theyare solidly arrayed against
\ the adulteratiOn of seeds and want
pure seed legislation.
Fred c. Phillips said that neighbors
in agricultural communities should
have the privilege of selling tested
seed 20 each other. The bill was. he
believed, drawn in the interests of the
dealers i'm seeds
c. W. Shelter declared that in his
opinion the measure was all right eX-
cept that farmers should not be pro-
hibited from exchanging or selling
seed to each other.
W. c. Moore felt sure that the seed
dealers were endeavOring to prohibit
the farmers from selling scarlet
clover seed to each other. and J. W.
Bunker stated that while in his iudg-
ment the precluding of impure seeds
and preventing their sale I'm the State
from out of the State was most de-
sirable, yet it seemed ridiculous for
the people to impose a tax on each
other for the privilege Of selling their
desirable seed.
j.. Henry Bush was elected a member
Of the Grange and Dr. Horace r..
Marvin was selected as lecturer of the
organization until such time as Mrs.
Frank Ames. lately bereft Of her hus-
band, may be able to resume that posi-
tion.

with the departure of J. Pierpont Nor

tended stay. The reason for j. Pier

In a report on the New York Stock
Exchange II Is that the financier
had receiye intimatiOn from Paris that
the ministry of finance would view
with more favor a renewal of the APP
pllcation to list United States Stee
common in the cOulisse OF the Paris
bourse. This story says that Mr.. Nor
gan intends to conduct the negOtia
tions himself. While no confirmation
could be obtained at the Morgan bank
ing house of this report, il received
much credence in Wall street because
Of the many evidences lately of a
more favorable attitude by foreign
bankers toward American securities.
This more favorable disposition has
been particularly. manifest in Paris.
Several months ago a Partisan SYN
dicate bought a large amount of United
States Steel common at a price under
20. This syndicate was credited with
supplying the funds for the heavy
speculation i'm United States Steel
common which developed i'm Novem-
Der and which at that time was op-
posed by local bankers because of the
condition of the money market Ii is
believed that the Paris syndicate has
retained OTIS interest I'm the steel
shares and has been active i'm attempt-
| ing to induce the French ministry of
finance to waive its objection to the
