Following the example of the great

all the sleds in tho country in rapid

fame as the "Klair coaster"
Taking parental consent for grant

result of the experiment was that two

LEWES FIGHTS
FISH COMPANY
Pilots and Local Fisheries
Oppose Pier Of New
Concern
BATTER MAY YET
GO TO THE COURTS

Determined to keep the Neptune
Fishing Company out Of Lewes,
about forty-five residents of that
town attended a public hearing be-
fore United States Engineer Herbert
Deakyne in the Witherspoon Build
ing. Philadelphia. yesterday. to pro-
test against the building by them Of
a pier at the Delaware town.
The protest originated with the
Pilots Association. and was taken
up in turn by the Lewes Fisheries
Company, and the town of Lewes.
IT ended in a disputed ownership Of
The tract of land upon which the
Neptune Company wish to build.
Representing the Pilots Associa-
ton. Captain John P. Virden attend
ed the hearing, while the other rep
resentatives were Robert G. White
and Daniel o. Hastings for the Nep-
tune Company; Attorney Cahall, for
the Lewes Fisheries Company, and
d. J. Layton. the Commissioners Of
Lewee.
According 10 Mr. DealSyne his Of
fee first received an application from
the Pilots Association to erect
coal pocket In the stretch OF water
between the Iron pier. owned by the
government, at Lewes. and the Fish
House pier, owned by the town.
A little later he received an ap-
plication, he said, from tho Neptune
Fishing Company 10 erect pier
upon virtually the same site. Still
later came an application from the
Lewes Fisheries Company to erect
two piers short distance from the
spot selected by the other appli-
cants
The protest made by the Pilots As
sociation was that the erection Of a
pier there by the Neptune Company
would cut off it's coal pocket On the
other hand the Neptune Company
complained that the coal pocket
would interfere with vessels arriving
at It's pier AZ the hearing, the Nep-
tune Company offered to place the
coal pocket at the extreme end of
its pier. and Captain Virden ex-
pressed himself as satisfied.
The withdrawal Of Captain virden's
complaint brought forward the
Lewes Fisheries Company with
declaration that part Of the land sold
to the Neptune Company for the
shore end of the pier did not belong
TO the person who sold it. but to the
Lewes Fisheries Company.
stretch Of 500 feet was sold to
the Neptune Company by Miss Kate
Lane. of Lewes. The Lewes Com
pany asserted that Mis- Lane paid
taxes upon only 100 feet of land
there. and that the balance, which
extended to within 100 feet Of the
government pier, belonged to them.
heg. Layton Z ~ Sseseqting the
:. cdssioners Of Eewes. said the 100

TASTE, SMELL AND
 HEARING RESTORED
A Simple, Harmless Remedy Quickly Relieves Ca
 tarrhal Deafness

The thousands who suffer the mis. cries of colds and catarrh and claim they have never found a cure can get instant relief by simply amounting the nostrils with Ely's Cream Balm.
 Unlike internal medicines which up. sets the stomach, or strong snuffs which only aggravate the trouble, this cleansing. healing, antiseptic Balm instantly reaches the seat of the trouble, stops the nasty discharge, clears the nose, head and throat, and brings back the sense of taste, smell and improves the hearing More than this, it strengthens the weakened and diseased tissues, thus protecting you against a return Of the trouble. This remedy will cure a cold in one day. ana prevent Its becoming chronic or resulting in catarrE.
 Nasal catarrh is an inflammation Of the membrane lining the air passage, and cannot ha reached by mixtures taken into the stomach, nor can it be cured by snuhs and powders which only cause additional irritation. Don. waste time on them. Get a 90 cent bottle of Ely's Cream Balm from your druggist and after using it for a day you will wish yon had tried it sooner.
 Mothers should give the children Ely's Cream Balm for colds and croup. It is perfectly harmless, and pleasant to take. 91.
