DEEP CHANNEL
IN FIVE YEARS
Work at $2,OOO,OOO a Year
Rate is Goal Of DOnOh9e'S
Effort in congress
POSSIBILITIES SET
FORTH In LETTER

WASHINGTON. ID. c.. Jan. 15.-
Completion of the S5-foot channel Of
the Delaware IN hve years ct the out
side Is the aim with which Represen-
tative Donohoe has set to work on
the new River and Harbor bill and he
is confident that his efforts wiz be
successful.
He has already developed the i'm
pOrtant fact that the S2.O0O,OO0 ap-
preparation he obtained in the last
River and Harbor bill will enable the
army engineers TO rush the work dur
ing the coming year at the rate neces-
sary to insure completion of the pro-
ject before the end of five years, and
If he can gain like appropriation in
this sessions River and Harbor bill,
another year of work at the same
rapid rate will be assured.
AT the meeting of the joint execu-
tive committee on the Improvement OF
the harbor of Philadelphia he'd at the
Bourse last Friday the assertion
was made that it would take 10 years
az the present rate Of progress to
complete the work. AS soon as Mr..
Donohoe returned TO Washington this
week he got in communication with
the Office of the chief OF the engineers
OF the army to ascertain the exact
status OF the Delaware project finan-
cially and physically and the pres
pect and needs for the future.
Rate of S2,O0O,OOO Year Possible.
The result of his inquiries was the
receipt of the following letter from
Colonel Edward Burr, acting chief Of
engineers:
Confirming conversation between
yourself and Lieutenant Colonel Har-
ny Taylor, Corps of Engineers, OF this
office. in regard to the Improvement
of the Delaware River, up to Phila-
delphia. l have the honor to say that
the report statement made 10 the ef-
feet that it would be 10 years or
more before the 35-foot project would
be completed is undoubtedly based on
the rate at which work has been done
heretofore; that is, at the rate OF
about S1,000,000 per annum.
The annual report of the chief of
engineers for 1913 shows that the
amount required to be appropriated
Tor completing the existing project is.
IN round numbers, s6.S00,OO0, this be-
ing in addition TO the balance of p
100000 which was available June 30.
1913. Therefore, il work has been
continued at the rate of only S1,000.-
600 a year from June 30, 1913, it is
apparent that it would have taken
about 9 1-2 years to have completed
the work. and that any maintenance
work which may be required would
have added to this time.
lt is expected, however that work
during the present fiscal year viii be
carried on at o rate of about $4,000
OO0 per annum. This will leave
available June 3. 1914. 100000. An

bill was submitted 1t is assumed that
the pending River and Harbor bill
will become a law about July 1, 1914,
and that another River and Harbor
bill will become a law not later than
March /, 1915. The pending bin need,
therefore. provide only for the period
from July j. 1914. to March IL, 1915
a period of eight months An appro-
priation of S1,000,000 will, with tue
funds which will be on hand June so,
1914. provide for the continuation OF
the work at a rate of S2.OOO,OOO per
annum.
If future appropriations are sutti-
cient TO provide for continuing the
work at s2.000,000 per annum. the
channel should be completed within
about five years.
Chances Bright for Future.
This letter from Colonel Burr
makes the gratifying showing that
funds are available for pushing work
on the 35-foot channel in the coming
year at the S2,000,O0O a year rate, and
that at the end of the year there will
still be available the comfortable bal
ance of 100000 to be applied to work
in the following year. Thus, if the ap-
preparation in this sessions bill
should not run above S1,000.000, the
$4,000, ,000-a-year rate of work can be
kept up almost to the end Of the fiscal
year ending June 30. 1915.
But Mr.. Donohoe has good reason
to hope that he can secure an appro-
priation i'm this sessions bill approx
imating the S2,O0OOOO he obtained in
the last bill which will place the
continuance of work at the $4,000
O00-a-year rate beyond danger OF
interruption clear to the end OF the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1915. and
perhaps leave a balance available to
be applied during the succeeding fs-

The tonnage of the vessel will be ap-

New Years gifts have taken many
different forms at different periods
from the eggs exchanged by the Per
slams and the sacred branches Of mis-
tletoe of the Druids down to the fat
capon which the tenants in many Eng
lish counties were expected to pre-
sent to their landlords.
In the sixteenth century, gloves
were often given on New Years day,
and there is record of a certain Mrs.
Croaker, in whose favor Sir Thomas
More had decided a case, sending the
chancellor a pair Of gloves with 40
gold angels therein.

the money. Since it yer against

from the French "au-gui-menez,"

association of the New Year and mis-
tletoe, seems likelier.

The Zulu Trick.

The English soldiers who had
served in South Africa quickly taught
the allies in France how to sleep COM
fortably on the ground.
To sleep on the ground in the ordi.
nary way, without the aid Of this
South African trick, which the English
learned from the Zulus, Is so painful
as 20 be almost impossible. Sleep, In
stead of resting, fatigues.
The Zulu trick Is to dig a little hole
to hold the hip bone. The soldier can
then rest on back or side with equal
comfort. He rises from his slumber
on the hard ground as refreshed as II
he had slept on a feather bed.
