dent f. NJ. Soper presented his annual
address, after which he introduced
Professor G. p Close, of Washington,
d. c., who gave a very interesting re-
port on the apple industry for the
past year.
Plea For Good Roads.
In part Mr., soper said:
? "The location of the fruit produc-
ing centers, in fact all parts of the
peninsula are very near the best con-
suming centers. Our products have
not to be transported long distances,
thereby increasing large freight bills
for transporting of the same. Because
OF the short hauls our perishable pro-
ducts can reach the consumer in the
best possible condition. These and
many other conditions should make
this peninsula a land to be sought
after by those intending to go into the
business Of fruit growing. Agricul-
tural education and up-to-date appli-
ances have changed the farm life. 1t
used to be that main strength and
awkwardness were the main requisites
that a farmer must have in order that
he secure an existence, but this has
changed and instead intelligence
properly used, makes the occupation
Of farming profitable; changes the
work that was considered a drudgery
to a pleasure and affords man an in
dependence not to be found in any
other occupation.
"I feel that every improvement bet
ters every division Of farming Good
, roads may be considered a hobby OF
mine. but / see in them betterment to
mankind and beast. We have been
exhorting the transportation compan-
les to take care of our products while
hauling them to the distributing cen
ters. while at the same time falling IN
the majority Of Instances to pay
proper attention to the delivery oi
such goods to the depot Good roads
enables US to place our fruit or
board the cars in better condition
than if it were hauled over such poo
roads as we have in Kent county, Del
aware. We as members of this or
ganization are loosing money oil
every load of fruit we deliver. W.
should be leaders in demanding re
lief from existing conditions"

DR.. BURTON
WANTS STATE
CANAL BUILT

DR.. Hiram r. Burton, OF Lewes,
former congressman from this state
called at the United State Engineers
offices here today in the interests OF
the proposed canal between Rehobeth
Beach and Lewes which will connect
the Assowaman and Indian rivers, a
large appropriation having been made
by the Government for this important
work. The right OF way has been
secured and all that now remains TO
be done Is to start the work.
Forty years ago the canal was CIV
en- an appropriation and was built
from Rehoboth Bay to Rehoboth,
when it was suddenly stopped by
the railroad, which finally secured
damages for an amount about equal
to the sum left to be expended upon
the completion OF the project. Since
then the canal has lain idle with
about $48,000 tied up as damages
claimed by the railroad for elevating
their tracks so that the canal could
pass under.
Major r. r. Raymond, United
States engineer in charge here, is
not in the city, he having gone on an
inspection trip OF the Panama Canal
week ago. Chief Clerk Sieberg
however, talked over the project with
the former Congressman.
DR.. Burton is much interested in
the improvement and is anxious to
see it completed.

HOTEL PLUMBERS
ARE LOCKED OUT
DUPONT Official Says Men Had
Made Unreasonable
Demands

Thirty-six plumbers and helpers
who have been employed on the Hotel
DUPONT, upon arriving at that hos
telry this morning to 60 to work
found they were no longer needed. One
of the men said to a reporter for
THE EVENING JOURNALS: I'VE
have simply been locked out"
The trouble arose over what the
plumbers say was the trangressing of
carpenters employed on the building,
on plumbers work. and for several
days there has been dissatisfaction
among the plumbers which came to
a head yesterday afternoon when a
committee called upon w. H. Fem.
president Of the Manufacturers Con-
tracing Company, the hotel contrac-
tors.
Mr.. Fem informed the men that he
would consider their complaint. In
the interim Mr.. Fem and the mem
hers OF the company reached the con-
clusion that the men were demanding
too much. Consequently, when they
arrived at the hotel this morning,
they found themselves without work.
One of1cial of the contracting com
pany said that the complaint made by
the plumbers was unreasonable. The
carpenters to whom the men objected
be said, were engaged in putting w
soap cups and like fixtures in bath
rooms, work not necessarily plumbing
IN which belief three-fourths of the
iourneymen plumbers agreed"
