MASHADEN FISHING AROUND LEWES.

The fishing steamers of Lewes and
vicinity have for some weeks been catch
ing many hundreds of barrels of man
haden fish, which are unusually large
and fat for this time of the year.
On Monday of this week, the fishing
steamer "Annie E. Gallop" loaded her
self to overhOwing with over sixteen
hundred barrels of these fish near Lewes
and delivered them to the De aware Fish
Oil Co., there within a few hours after
being caught. Captain Howard of the
''Gallop" said he had to let several
hundred barrels of these fish out of his
net as his boat could not carry another
barrel more than she had on board. He
also said he saw several other large
schools of fish nearby, enough to load
many other boats much larger than MS.
The fishing captains in general say
that the fish are plentiful, large and fat
and all of the factories here anticipate
a harvest of profit this season.

BASE BALL.

Milford has cause to feel proud of two
corporations that support base ball clubs,
and the people of this town can always
feel assured of being able to witness a
game each Saturday afternoon.
Quite large gathering witnessed the
Milford Lumber Company team make
their debut upon the diamond in their
new suits last Saturday, when they
crossed bats with the Caulk team. They
played an admirable game, but could
not stand the pace set by their OppO-
nents, so they went down to defeat by
the score of to O..
The Milford Lumber Company boys
play on the home grounds Saturday and
the Caulk team crosses bats with Fred
erica at Frederick. The managers of
either of these teams will be glad to
make dates with any uniform team As
these teams are comprised of young
men who play the game purely for the
love of the sport and not for any per-
sonal' benefit derived therefrom The
opposing team can always feel assured
of receiving a square deal from every
point of view, as good clean ball is played.
In one of the hardest played games on
the local diamond this season the Mil
ford team Tuesday afternoon defeated
the strong All Star organization Of
Washington, D. c., by the score of ID
to Z. While the score does not designate
a very closely contested game, the runs
on both teams were made mostly in one
inning when the pitchers on both teams
were batted from the box. In the fifth
inning Hudson of Milford was hit for
five runs, Davis being put in the mound.
No runs were scored off him. The sixth
inning proved the undOing of the An
Stars, Bell, their slab artist, being taken
from the box after eight runs had been
scored in that inning. The score

BIDS MADE FOR DIGGING
The REHOBOTH CANAL

Bids for digging the canal from Lewes
to RehOboth have been opened and for
warded to Washington for approval and
award. The right of way has all been Sc
cured and paid for largely through the
efforts of ex Congressman Hiram K.
Burton, and when this canal is finished,
all the eastern part of Sussex County
will be developed, and opened up to traf-
fic with the Delaware Bay. Major Ray
mond of the United States Army is in-
charge of the work, and he expects to
arrange for commencing the work just
as soon as the award is made by the
Washington authorities, and the cOntrac-
tors can get their machinery on the job.
Several years ago construction of the
canal was begun but was abandoned
after part of the waterway had been
dug from the southern end to RehOboth.
The apprOriat ton for the project became
exhausted. and an obstacle also arose
over whether the government should be
required to construct a railroad bridge
over the canal. A recent Congress au-
thOrized an appropriation to complete
the canal
The bids opened were as follows ::
Richards Dredging Company, s cents
per cubic yard.
Maryland Dredging Company, Phile-
delphia. 8 3-4 cents per cubic yard.
Dorsey and Mill Company. Washing
ton, D. c.. 9 3-4 cents per cubic yard.

FORTUNES ARE MADE IN
, RAISING FAIRLY PRODUCE
Which is Being Encouraged by a
Local Banking Institution.
IN THE PRIZE OFFERS

TIE announcement that a financial in
stitution of Wilmington will next year,
at the suggestion of the publicity bureau
of the Chamber of Commerce, and
through the State Fair Association. offer
1900 for the earliest shipments of canta-
ioupes from the Delmarvia Peninsula,
being divided among the three sections
of the Delaware, Eastern
Shore of Maryland and Eastern Shore OF
Virginia has excited much favorable
comment, and there is great apprecla-
tion Of this sort of encouragement Tor
those engaged in the agricultural ana
business development of the peninsula.
These prizes are offered to attract at
teDtion to the alluring bOuntles Whicn
are reckoning to those who realize and
work for the advantage of an early
market. A man drove into Penn S Grove
N 7 on Saturday, with a twO-horse
load Of tomatoes, which he Immediately
disposed of and departed with check
for SlSS. which check was good at the
bank.
IJp at Swedesboro, n j., the farmers
who raise tomatoes are reaping a golden
harvest on tomatoes and sweet peppers.
The lowest price for tomatoes up to this
time has been 81. 25 the crate, containing
six half-pecks. The son-in-law of a
Swedesboro farmer told the writer that
his wife s father would clean VI" 81, OOO
on his tomato crop this year.
These facts, for they are facts, have
vital significance for Delmarvia farmers.
South Of the Delaware and Chesapeake
Canal, Peninsula lands are earlier
than Salem county lands. In Sussex it
is ten days or two weeks earlier and this
two weeks is the cream of the markets.
This means about $40 ton.
The bOunties and the wealth which
have come from raising strawberries are
only a hint of greater bOunties and
wealth which will come from raising,
and raising as early as possible, other
varieties of vegetables for the markets
of the "a principal cities of the United
States which are located within 500 miles
of this Peninsula.
Once the Delmarvia farmer discovers
the value of this early market, fortunes
will De made on this Peninsula and the
institution offering these prizes, it would
appear, has done most clever and com
mendable thing to hasten this discovery.
The truck crop at SwedesbOro is dis
posed of at the station and even in the
fields, so clamorous are the big cities for
the products. tits no reflection on Salem
county farmers or land to say Delmarvla
can raise as good tomatoes and peppers
as can Salem county men or land.

YOUNG JERSEY COUPLE
Married AT MILFORD

On Friday evening. July 18th, Ray
mOnd Reed, a we'll known and highly
connected young man of Red Bank. N.
j., accompanied by Miss Clara Van
SchOick, a very popular young lady of
the same town. decided that they wished
to get married, and consequently young
Reed proceeded to visit the garage of
his grandfather at that place and get
ting his automobile and then his fiancee
they started for Philadelphia where they
hoped to be made man and wife. On
arriving in that city the couple were
met with a difficulty in not being able
to get anyone to identify them, which
Is necessary now in that city. This first
effort, however, did not deter them and
they came on down to Milford and finally
located Lester LOvett, who resides near
town on a beautiful farm, and who for
merly resided near their home, and after
being made cOnversant with Delaware
avs they found it would be necessary
for them to remain here four days or 96
hours after procuring their license be-
fore they could be married. At once
they went to Georgetown and procured
the necessary license, which gave them
the right to be married early Friday
evening. July 25th. During the four
days of anxious waiting they were de-
lightfully entertained at the home Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Lovett, who brought them
to Milford Friday evening in their auto
mobile and carried them to the home of
Rev. Thomas c. Davis, pastor of the
First Baptist Church, where they were
united in marriage. They left Milford
Saturday morning for their home at Red
Bank to seek the parental forgiveness,
and with the very kindest feeling for
Mr. and Mrs. Lovett. who assisted them
so materially in their hours of anxiety
and waiting.
