GIVES. ACRES FOR
BOULEVARD ROUTE

Special TO THE EVENING JOURNAL
FREDERICA, Del. May 3O.-Homer
Belts, a prosperous and we'll known
farmer who owns and operates a
farm between Houston and Freder-
lea, said TO an EVENING JOURNAL
representative concerning the DUPONT
boulevard:
Il do certainly think the boulevard
would be Of immense advantage and
benefit to the entire community.
However. / also think that there Is
too much land required for the right
OF way When you come to take 200
feet through the best of a mans farm
II seems 10 much to give for the bene-
fit you derive. The man who owns the
farms next to you is much more bene.
fitted In the matter OF property en-
hancement than you are. but yet M
loses no land at all. You are giyinl
your land more for the benefit OF yol
neighbors than for your own. Th
right OF way takes five acres or there
abouts through the best part Of m!
farm, but | gave Il without haggl
or question.
Il a mheartily in favor of thl
boulevard. and believe II will be u
immense benefit 10 the community
but the owner whose farm 1t rum
through will not receive as mucl
value from il, in my opinion, as th'
man next to him"
J. A. Bernard, who owns and oper
ates two farms between Magnolia anl
Dover, which he has transformed int
apple orchards Of hundreds Of bear
ing trees, said:
There is no reason why the du
Pont road should not be Of grea
benefit to the State at large. But
think there is too much right Of wa
required What is IL going 10 be usel
for? I am always favorable to gooi
roads, and would like 10 see one q

enjoys the experience. Whoever the
ingenious native was who first sug-
gested this mode of crossing river
he probably came from the jungles or
| Assam and had seen monkeys crossing
the river there by means of growing
creepers-there is no doubt that he
found the one method which Is APP
plicable to the big rivers, exaggerated
mountain torrents, Of eastern Tibet
and far western China The obvious
way for natives to cross river is by
canoe, but, unfortunately, neither the
Salween nor the Mekong, big as they
are, are navigable even for canoes in
Tibet The single-way rope bridge
overcomes every difficulty Two small
platforms are made, one on either side
of the river, one high up, the other ~
or 30 feet lower down; stout posts are
driven into the rock and the bamboo
rope Is slung across from post to post,
and frightened so that it slopes steeply
| from one bank to the other. The
slider consists of half-cylinder OF
wood about three inches in diameter,
having two slots cut In its upper sur
face, one at either end, through which
pass the leather thongs; to these
thongs the man, baggage or animal Is
tied, so that he hangs just beneath the
rope, and, being pushed off the plat
FORM the slider carries him safely
over the river 1t will be seen, there

each crossing, one for going each way.
The advantages of such a system are
obvious. The rope is cheap to make
and the materials are ready to hand;
It is quickly put In place and, though
1t will not stand the wear and tear OF
constant use for very long, 1t can be
replaced in, few hours. 1t can be
suspended so high above the river that
1t is completely out of reach of sum-
mer floods, but very often 1t is only
few feet above the water at it's lowest
point, and such ropes are under water
and impossible during the summer.
On the other hand l have seen ropes
as much as a hundred feet above the
river, they look rather alarming, but,
as Il UldJJ6I VI ldCI, IL WOuiu -
difference whether one fell one hun
dred feet or five feet into such
river as the Mekong in Tibet. After
few weeks use the rope begins to sag
at the lower end and may require
Tightening up, especially if animals are
being slung across; man can pun
himself up the last few feet, hand over
hand. or haul up box which has got
stuck, but an animal is helpless unless
he lands right on the opposite bank.
Hundreds of these single-way rope
bridges are in use on the Mekong and
Salween rivers alone, and they occur
long way east of this on the La-lung
and Li-tang rivers, and many others.
But / have never seen one on the
Yangtze, which is 100 big a river-F.
