were at forts. We stayed week
at Fort Larney. Then we struck
the trail through the Rocky Noun
tains. 1t was terribly cold-often
thirty or forty below zero,-but
we still wore no overcoats. Our
next stop was at Fort Bridgery.
We had hard time reaching this
fort. Our mules could root in the
snow for food but the horses
would not. Our corn got low and
many of the horses starved to
death. The last few days before
we reached the fort, we left each
morning helpless animals to the
tender mercies of the savage coy
otes and wolves, which were on
their helpless prey before we were
out of sight.
We stayed for the rest of the
winter at Fort Bridgery. From
there we moved on to Echo Can
yon. For fifteen miles the Nor
mons had guarded the passes of
the canyon. They had erected
"false bridges" everywhere which
would tumble in when our men
had reached the center. We made
a detour of fifteen miles anc
reached Salt Lake City on April 10
1858. Here we erected Fort Doug
lass. We met little opposition
when we reached the city of thu
Mormons and they found that W.
meant business.
When we started from For
Leavenworth there were abou
forty "dandies" along. Oh, the,

Work On New
Building Begun

The latest building operation to
attract local attention is the print
ing plant to be erected at the cor
ner of Depot Road and Park Place.
The lines of the building were lad
out on last Friday. Due to some
changes in the original plans, pro-
viding for additional space, 1t IS
impractical to give the details OF
construction. The building will be
built of Brandywine granite, hol-
low tile and stucco. So far as pos
sible it will represent a Delaware
product. The features OF the
building will be suggestive OF
strength and simplicity with pro-
visions for plenty of air and sun
shine. Just a plain building, void
of pretense-but different enough
to arouse curiosity and discussion
Of its merits.

Strawberries In September

Fresh Strawberries in Septem-
berl Think of it. And more, a
country editor eating strawberries
in September! Shades of Will
son Administration, will wonders
never cease? But it is true. A.
Seydell, who lives just above New
ark gave us this treat-two boxes
of delicious strawberries. These
berries are not sports of nature
but a new variety of fall bearing
berries. Mr.. Seydell has gotten
these up to a commercial PROPOSE
ton. 1t can be readily under
stood that he has no difficulty in
selling them.
Mr.. Seydell came here from Mil
ford, a little over year ago
Bringing with him a reputation OF
a progressive man of the soil, not
afraid to try out a new idea. He
is making good. His red rasp
berries made the greatest yielt
ever known in this section. This
was due, it is conceded, to a spec
ial method of pruning. His black
berry crop for next season is prac
tically booked. Aside from tn
sensation he has created in small
fruits, his tomatoes and canta
loupes show the trademark "Sey
dell" The Post heard on Mai
street this week this suggestive in
quiry: where can | get Seydel
tomatoes?"
All we rural folk would do we
to get next to some of Seydell'
ideas.

account of sickness and death in

CHURCH INCREASES
PASTORS SALARY
Resigns From College Faculty

Resigns from college Faculty
The salary of Rev. w. J. Rowan,
pastor of the Presbyterian Church,
Newark, has been increased by
voluntary subscriptions, on the
part of the congregation, from
$1,000 to $4,000 per year, with the
use of a parsonage, which is con-
sidered equivalent to total of
$4,000. The raise in salary is the
result of congregational meeting
held early in the summer, called
to meet the condition of a grow
ing congregation, which demands
the undivided attention of the pas
tor of the church. DR.. Rowan sew
eral years ago was given permis-
sion by the Board of Trustees to
accept a professorship at Delaware
College, in addition to his church
work. Since that time, however,
changed conditions have made it
seem inadvisable to continue this
arrangement. A committee COM
posed of J. R. Chapman, chairman;
G. N. Brown, Mrs. c. A. Bryan,
and Mrs. S. M. Donnell, was named
to find the means of raising the
pastors salary. The committee
which reported last evening in
Joint meeting with the Trustees Of
, the church reported $1740 sub
scribed by members through the
, weekly collection. This with the
, interest from the Hammill legacy
, will make the $4,000 necessary. 1t
was decided to retain the special
committee for a permanent finance
committee, to oversee the collec-
tions, and direct the financial pol
icy of the church.
DR.. Rowan, who was notified OF
} the action of the Board last even
: ing, rendered his resignation te
: the College faculty this morning
}. The resignation will take effect as
d soon as it is possible to arrange
e for the care of the classes in Psy

three years time and are of the
value of three hundred pounds or
nearly fifteen hundred dollars a
year. A scholar must pay all his
tuition, board and lodging, travel
ing and vacation expenses out of
this sum, and it is not too small for
the purpose. The money is paid
in four quarterly installments, be-
ginning in October of each year.
Requirements for Eligibility
