BARGE CANAL is DISCUSSED
New Proposition to be Put Forward IN
Considering the Delaware Canal

New Proposition to be Put Forward IN
Considering the Delaware Canal
The Secretary of War has direct
ed the special board of government
engineers, who recently reported on
the ship canal project, to also pre-
pare at once a report on the ap-
proximate cost of series of inland
waterways or barge canals along
the same route smaller than the
ship canal proposition. By the
means of barge canals coal carrying
and oil carrying craft could be of
lighter and less expensive construc-
tion. They could, moreover, be
loaded to a greater depth while the
steamers hauling them would be
ordinary river tugboats. Neither
tugs nor barges would run anywhere
near the Atlantic Ocean. The total
estimated cost of the Delaware
Chesapeake ship canal is $12, 434, =
A99.70. 1t cannot be computed, as
yet, what the cost of a barge canal
in the same section would be. 1t
is believed, however, it would be
about 81. 900, 900. Of this amout,
So, 5l4, 289. 70 would be expended in
purchasing the present canal.
Major Raymond is a strong advocate
of the ship canal proposition. He
and Captain Philip Reybold, of
Wilmington, the original promoter
of this great waterway have con-
ferred fequently on the subject.
The Major regards the barge canal
proposition as starter; an improve
ment that will gradually develop
into the greatest inland waterway
project of modern times. One the
th4ory that large projects are con-
summated by diplomatic work al
the start, it is hoped to interest
Congress by presenting to it the
lesser cost of a system of barge
canals and then have the PROPOSE.
tion develop into the ship canal as
originally outlined and recommended

ATTENDING BIG AUTO SHOW

Local Enthusiasts Find Mnch to In
terest Them in Philadelphia Show
Local automobile enthusiasts are
are finding much to interest them in
the Philadelphia Auto Show this
week. The exhibition opened Sat-
urday and will continue until the
9th. Surprising even the best ex-
pectations of the Automobile Show
Committee, which has charge of the
Philadelphia Show in the First and
Third Regiment Armories, have
been the number of exhibitors who
have taken space for this two
weeks business exposition. A
total of SO gasoline pleasure cars
will be shown in the two anrmories
during the First week; at least 81
and in all probability more than 40
commercial vehicles will be seen in
the two amories the second week in
addition to 10 or more electric
pleasure cars. There will also be a
score of accessories exhibitors who
always present some interesting
features at the Show.

POLITICAL GOSSIP OF WEEK
Henry P. Cannon of BridgeviIIe Talked

Henry P. Cannon of BridgeviIIe Talked
of For Congress--Cahall, Attorney
The Republican situation as re-
CARDS the next nominee of that party
for Representative in Congress,
shaped itself to some extent last
week when the name of Henry P. Can
non of Bridgeville, was brought for
ward for this honor. Although there
has been no definite understanding
reached by the party leaders as to
the selection of candidate for this
Office, it is known that strong inter-
ests, specially in Kent and Sussex
counties, are supporting Mr.. Can
non. This will naturally have its
effect. In view of the unwritten
rule in Delaware that no Congress
man shall have more than two terms,
it is evident that the successor to
Representative Heald, who is now
serving his second term, will come
from lower Delaware. AS the Re.
publican nominee for Governor will
come from Kent county, it being
that county's turn to select the can
didate for this Office it follows that
the Congressional nominee will b,
chosen in Sussex county. AS Mr.
Cannon is the strongest man thu
far named, it is believed that HI
will be nominated. Joseph L. Ca
hall, of Georgetown, former Secre
tary of State, and nephew of MIR
Cannon, is not an aspirant for Con
gress as was recently announced
He will be a candidate for Attorne
! General.
