MOORE DISCOVERS A JOKER.

N REPRESENTATIVE i. HAMPTON MOORE Of Pha-
IN delpha, assisted by the Delaware and New Jer-
sey delegations, Is making splendid fight in Con-
gress for an adequate appropriation for the improve
ment Of the Delaware river and bay. He has dis
covered in the rivers and harbors bill Joker that
would reduce the appropriation for the current
year to s10130OO instead OF the S200OO00 recon-
mended by the United States army engineer. II
seems TO us that our Chamber of Commerce, Mer-
camille Association and other civic organizations
should rally TO the support Of Representative Moore
Of Pennsylvania, Representative Head Of this State
and all other members of the House of Representa-
tvcs who are working to protect the interests of the
Delaware river and the large and important COM
mercal territory that is tributary thereto It is OF
great importance, particularly to Delaware, Pennsyl-
vania and New Jersey that adequate appropriations
shall be made for the Improvement of that great high
way for water-borne commerce.
The United States army engineer recommended an
appropriation of at least S2000000 TO be expended upon
a thirty-hve foot channel for the fiscal year ending
March A. 1914. The Rivers and lIarbors Committee
reduced that amount to s1,75O,OOO and in-
serted in the bill Joker to the effect that that should
he the appropriation for the, period from March a.
1913 to June 80 1914. sixteen months.
When Representative Moore discovered that, he and
his associates quite naturally indignant He
tested the House, and pointed out that the appro-
priation, the bill passed in its present shape,
would reluce the amount to $1O13OOO for the twelve
months, as deductions amounting to $3375OO would
have be made for the period from March a. 1914 to
June 30 1914 and further deductions, amounting to
100000 would have to be made for the maintenance
of work already done. The Pennsylvania Representa-
ves protest was vehement and his argument for the
Delaware river interesting. Finally realizing the
value of delay he raised the point OF quorum and
forced the entire bill until today for consdera-
ton Meantime he and his colleagues are working ia
have the Delaware river appropriation increased to
at least 100000

certainly big and fat.
He comes from the town OF Smyrna.
just a short distance down the
State,
And is widely known as a lecturer; he
certainly is great.
For the interest of his party he kindly
withdrew his name:
I think this very creditable,s and Ii
would be a shame
Not to send this man to Washington;
ono so honest. good and true,
He would represent our State beauti-
fully. which would be pleasing
to all Of you.
I think myself, and belieye IL true,
When voting for Senator, he will do,
Everyone that know him, thinks him
a dandy,
The man speak Of is L. Irving
Handy.
Respectfully,
A Friend.

wild Horses Do Damage.

Alberta's minister OF agriculture has
urged upon the Dominion government
the necessity of taking determined
steps to put stop to the depreda.
tons Of Wild horses in the Peace
country in western Alberta and east
ern British Columbia. which has been
one Of the principal pioneering sec
tons Of this part of Canada during
the last few years. He states that
wild horses have made raids upon the
ranches Of new settlers. killing many
of the domestic horses and leading
away a number Of the well-bred do
mestic mares which have been i'm
ported at a considerable cost and
which are one OF the principal assets
Of the new settler. According to Ot
tawa statistics. these horses are sup
posed to be descendants Of horses
abandoned during the gold rush to
the Yukon territory In 1898. From
the Bow river westward these ami
mails have raided the ranches of the
settlers as far west as Kamloops and
the contractors on the Grand Trunk
Pacific railway have suffered losses
of imported animals used on the con-
struction work Of the road.
