DYKES To Protect Channel

In connection with the 35-foot channel
project Major Herbert Deakyne, United
States engineer in charge OF the harbor
operations at Philadelphia, has ANNOUNCED
that the chief of engineers of the United
States Army at Washington has aathor-
Breakwater Company,o f Philadelphia, for
| the construction OF four of the eight
dikes to be built in the Delaware River.
The bids submitted by this company
are for four bikes, to be located at Ches-
ter Island, Old Man Point, Reedy Island
and the lower end of Artificial Island
The amount specified was 1862, lie. 10.
| The same firm was also awarded the work
OF topping off the old Reedy Island dixie
for a consideration OF sos, 1872.
The dikes are part OF the plan for i'm
/ proving the Delaware river from Phil
adelphia to the Sea, which provides
for a channel 800 feet wide at the bottom
and 30 feet deep at mean low water.
The dikes are different from those
heretofore constructed in the Delaware
river, being of the all-stone type, built
from the river bottom to the elevation of
mean low water, with a top width OF IA
feet, and consisting of solid riprap or
random stonee mbankmeDt. The extern
sion of the dixie at Reedy Island will be
$500 feet long; at Artificial Island, 1900
feet; Chester Island, 1900 feet; Old Mans
Point, 100 feet; and the topping off at
the Reedy Island dixie will extend for
5000 feet.
The object of the bikes is to con6ne the
water in as narrow a channel as possible,
and thereby increase the force of the
current so that the debris will be secured
out by the action of the current. Ire
mendous quantities OF stone will be used,
80 900 tons being required at the Cherry
| Island dixie, 10000 tons at Old Mans
| Point, 230, 900 tons at Artificial Island,
and $50, 900 tons for the extension Of
Reedy Island dixie and $1,000 for topping
off old Reedy Island dixie. The contractor
is required to begin work within so DAYS
and to complete the contract in Is
| months.

MILLIONS FOR GOOD ROADS.
Col. duPont's Advice To Boys

General T. Coleman dupont, multi-mil-
~lionaire president OF the dupont Powder
Company, has announced that he will
give away all the surplus OF his vast for
tune for building good roads. Delaware
aud adjoining States will be the beneici-
aries, it being his intention to contribute
to the construction of modern highways
leading from Delaware. He las de-
cided to do this rather than leave a big
fortune to his children.
Then REFER ng to the subject of good
roads, General DUPONT stated:
81 believe good roads will do more
good than libraries, hospitals and in fact
than any of the usual forms of philan-
trophy. | believe Delaware will derive
more benefit from good roads thar rom
any one thing that can be DONE" Be-
lieving this to be true, he said, that his
spare time could not be employed better
than by devoting it to the building OF
modern highways.
His wealth is estimated at about $l2,-
000,0 600 and he intends to spend a large
part OF it for roads instead of leaving il to
his children.
He said. "a million dollars will keep
a family well. BY All expenditure OF the
balance OF my possessions | can do great
good. | do not think it is a wise thing
to leave too mnch money to young men.
/ believe boys are much better off and
make much better men and better citi-
zens when they work for and earn a liv-
ing, than those who inherit a sufficient
amount Of money to lead a life Of pleas
ure and leisure"
The general said that his father had
given him an opportunity to get a good
education. Having given him the educa-
ton aud put him to work, he said: II
have given yon All opportunity to get as
good an education as can be COTTON in the
United States. 1t is now up to you to
make good"
After graduation re a civil engineer in
the Technical School at Boston he took a
position at SIS a month and board and
worked an average of Is hours a day for
at least twenty years. He says it did not
hurt him but really was the making %
him. From the generals observations,
the men who start with nothing but
make good themselves, are better citizens
than those who inherit everything.

More Money Causes Higher Prices

The U. S. Treasury department esti-
mates that there are now S34.6l per
capita circulation of money in the
United States. The increase of money
within the past sixteen years has been
in the unprecedented and unforeseen sup
ply of gold which has free coinage in
all mints and in the increase of bank
notes authorized by Congress, instead
Of the coinage of more silver. AS d
consequence there has been rising prices
so that many are now getting the 50
cent dollar they were so much afraid of
some years ago. The increase in gold
and bank notes has been greater than
the widest populist expected under
the coinage of free silver.
That has been the cause of the in
creased prosperity of the country. That
has been the result of the increasing
supply Of money thruout the worlds
history.
w NAT Is Cn6 reLneQyE
Why, grow more wheat, corn, cotton,
and other products of the soil, to catch
up with the greater dollar crop"
which has been made in recent years by
laws of Congress, the only authority
which can ''make money! for the use
of the people.
Money is a creature of law. The
necessaries of life are created by man
either from the land or from pro-
ducts produced by the land.

FRIEND SUMMERILL:-
l will now take the pleasure to write
you a few lines which | promised o

Being in the grain belt l will tell about
the large crop of corn raised here. The
past season has been a very successful
one to the farmers in the eastern part of
Iowa, especially along the Mississippi val
ley. The rain fall was much greater
there and it came when most needed.
While the drought hit the western states
and the western part of Iowa eastern
Iowa can boast of a bumper crop of grain.
Corn averaged 70 bushels an acre. and
oats 40 bushels. During the month of
January there were 100, 900 bushels of
corn shipped out OF Grand Mound. More
would have been shipped but for the lack
of cars.
Corn at present is worth 552 cents a
bushel, wheat "a, oats 48, with prospect
of getting higher all the time.
The winter has been a cold one here.
From December Both to January 18th,
the thermometer was from 2 to "a below
zero every morning and some days it
never rose any higher than 6 below.
There has been but very little snow in
this part of the State. With the exception
of being cold the winter here has been a

Col. 7. Coleman Dupont's hobby for
good roads may be as good for some
people, if not better than libraries. 1t
is well that the millionaires spend their
money in lettering the conditions of the
people and the country. But before we
become too much enthused over his
philanthropy We might consider the
franchises he acquires in and over these
roads the Colonel proposes to build and
let the State Of Delaware care for for
aver afterwards. The values Of the
gas, electric light and trolley franchises
in years to come will most probably
pay big dividends IN investment.

THE RTSH FOR PANAMA.

The statement Of Mr.. Do Young. pub
lishcd in our special London dispatches
on Sunday. concerning the widespread
European and ASiatic interest in the
opening of the Panama Canal and the
extensive preparations which are being
made I'm various countries for taking
commercial advantage Of that event,
should be surprising 10 nobody who has
not been blind 10 the signs Of the times
throughout the maritime world, or in
deed who has thoughtfully Analysed the
conditions Of traffic and the changes
therein which use Of the canal will
make possible. If many Americans have
been thus blinded or indifferent, 1t Il
probably partly because our lack Of in
ternational shipping has diverted our
minds from thought Of that department
Of commerce and partly because we
have been so close 10 the canal and its
engineering and fiscal features that we
have not surveyed it in proper pcrspcc-
tive as Il factor I'm the sea-bOrnc com
mcrce Of the world.
Simply as rival TO existing routes Of
travel and transportation and rs a com
petitor for their present patronage the
Panama route would BE- formidable. II
could easily outbd the Cape Horn and
Strait Of Magellan routes for every bit OF
their patronage from ports north OF the
Equator. For large part Of the traffic
which now crosses this continent for our
own and also for Canada's Pacific Coast
ii could successfully bid. II could even
draw something from the Sucz and Cape
Of Good Hope routes, even though 1t
might have no advantage over them In
distance. for to many its greater direct
ness than the tortuous 5ueZ route and
its avoidance Of the numerous changes
Of zone, and therefore Of climate and
weather incident 10 the Cape route,
would strongly commend il.
But there is ample reason 90 expect
far more than this. 1t Is truism that
increase of facilities increases use Of
them Because Of the opening of this
new route Of travel and transportation
there will be- more travel and transpOr.
tation than before The traffic of the
world will increase, so that while exist
ing routes may have as much as ever
there will be enough new patronage 10

highway. II will not be creditabe To the
vision and the enterprise Of the Ameri-
can people if they remain Indifferent to
this prospect and if they fail to secure
