coMpARArIvE FREIGHT RATEs.

Freight rates on numbered and lettered
classes from all points North, West and
South Of Wilmington are the same ae
to Philadelphia Philadelphia and VIII
mington enjoy a slight ditferential in
rates az compared with New York, while
Baltimore enjoys a slight di1erential in
rates as compared with New York, Phil
adelphia and Wilmington.
This freight rate situation will enable
Wilmington, when she has established
herself as a seaport, with modern dock
ing facilities. and domestic and foreign
steamship lines, to reach out for and
secure a share of the business now
handled by Baltimore, Philadelphia and
New York, which business originates
in the Lake districts and the Ohio and
Mississippi river valleys and the south
ern states.
II will be the function Of the Board
Of Harbor Commissioners Of Whining

established and ready for business, to
extensively advertise the fact through

ESTIMATED POSSIBLE TONNAGE
BY WATER ROUTES.

One Of the questions asked Of manu-
facturers and merchants was, what pro
portion OF their business could be handled
by water routes II municipal docks and
terminals are established. This ques-
tion was found difficult 10 answer as
they cannot at this time realize how
many new avenues Of trade and trans.
portation viii be opened up TO them by
the provision Of such facilities By an
analysis Of the statements showing
points OF origin and destination Of raw
materials and manufactured products
however I have come 70 the conclusion
that Approximately 50eo OF the aggre-
gate tonnage could be handled by water
routes. The effect OF the diversion OF
this amount Of business from rail 70
water routes however ia the opinion Of
many would be largely offset by an in
creased volume in every line Of business

PROJECT CONSIDERED AS AN AID
TO THE GOVERNMENT.

A few weeks ago correspondence was
started with the United States shipping
Board with a view to ascertaining
whether they would look with approval
or disapproval on the carrying out Of
the proposed Harbor Development dur.
ing the time of war stress. It is quite
evident that even if Wilmington should
decide 10 carry out the projected plans
that it would be impossible to do so
unless it had the Endorsement of the
administration at Washington, on ac-
count of the fact that il would be nee
essary to have the project placed upon
the priority list for construction ma.
teriais. l have had a conference with
the Shipping Board in Washington and
found that they are much interested in
the matter. Similar action is now being
started with the Shipping Committee
of the National Council of Defense.
The Chairman of the Rivers and Har-
bors Committee Of the United States
Congress, Hon. John H. Small, says in

II must be distinctly understood
that the above calculation is based
on the following premises
/. That the average length OF
haul Of Wilmington's tonnage is
100 miles, which is considered con
seryative.
2. That the average freight rates
by rail and water were those in Of
feet prior to 1914.
3, That the saving shown is based
on the assumption, by a study of
origin and destination of commodi-
ties, that the tonnage of Wilmington

BUSINESS INCIDENT TO THE WAR.
For many years previous to the out
break OF the World War, Wilmington
has given much thought TO Harbor De-
velopment but unfortunately it ended
in thought and talk instead Of action
It must be admitted by all that it is a
pity that these contemplated facilities
W ere not ready in the fall OF 1914. If
they had been this city by this time
would have established itself as one OF
the leading seaports through which vast
volumes of tonnage would be passing
continually, in the way of transporting
men and supplies for our Army and the
Allies.
Even after the lapse of three years Of
war 10 is not yet too late. Now that
this country has entered into the war on
the side Of the Allies, Wilmington should
lose no time IN starting to construct
modern docks and terminals, not only
as o patriotic aid to our Government,
but as a business proposition for Will
mington. No one dares to venture a
forecast as to the duration of the war.
it may end in a year or 10 may last for
several years Located as it is in the
midst of a densely populated manufac-
turing section Of the eastern seaboard
from whence is moving untold millions
OF tons OF munitions and supplies of all
kinds 10 support not only the million
American soldiers going to the scene OF
war but also our Allies, Wilmington
should at once get ready to do it's bit
in providing means to promptly handle
some of this vast volume Of business
By doing so it win relieve the Nation
Of much embarrassment owing to the
congestion of the Ports Of Boston, New
York, Philadelphia and Baltimore and
ali railroad terminals entering those
cities.

.TNO. R. BEEGLE IS
 BACK FROM JUNEAU

MT. Jno. R. Beegle. of the Pure Food and Beegle Packing Company, was a returning passenger on the City of Seattle last evening from Juneau where he went to attend the first meet ing of the Territorial Hatchery Board, held all last week. B. M. Behrends, banker of Juneau, acted as chairman, Jno. R. Beegle as secretary, w. H. Spaulding, Manager for P. E. Harris & Co.,, of Hawk Inlet, the third on the board being unable to attend.
 In view of the fact that the bill ere ating the commission and making the appropriation, for the purpose of fur ther propagation of fish culture in Al aska, had not been signed by the gov ernor until after the adjournment of the legislature, it has been contended that the Legislature could not legally deliver the bill after the adjournment. During the meeting last week it was decided to take the matter into court to test the legality of he law.
 "Until the court passes on the stat us of the law, nothing further can be done" Mir Beegle concluded this morn ing when speaking of his visit to Jun eau.

OFFICERS RAID STILL
 GUARDED BY BULLDOG

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct 24-United States revenue officers late Wednes- day raided still which they discover ed on the outskirts of College Hill Eight hundred gallons of beer were taken by the officers and a fifty gal lon still in process of fermentation was destroyed.
 Various brands of illicit liquors were found at a farmhouse nearby. and the occupant of the place was subjected to rigorous questioning The latter denied any knowledge as to the owner ship of the still or any connection with it.
 The officials were kept at bay at the still by large bulldog for some minutes when they first surrounded the place. The dog, it is surmised, had been put on guard by the opera tors of the still, and its ownership may cut considerable figure in the case.

Everybody Will Be Own Recept ion Committee For Good
 Time at Moose Hall

Enthusiasm is running high this af ternoon over the sale of Liberty Bonds which were going like wildfire. Seven thousand, five hundred dollars were raised in two hours by three parties, and it is expected that nearly double the quota of $30,0O0 will be raised by the close of the week. All the prom inent business men of the town, Gov ernment Employees particularly from the Immigration service, Forestry, Lighthouse, Customs, Post Office and the Bank are canvassing the town properly, and the person who gets by without having been assailed by at least one of these enthusiasts will be a wonder.
 In order that the people may be as- sembled together this evening to cele- brate the occasion as it should be done, the Mayor decided to have free Ball at the Moose Hall, where the pur- poses of the Liberty Loan may be ex- plained by Senator Heckman, and where all may enjoy themselves.
 Doors will open at nine o'clock and everything will be most formal.

A FRENCH PORT, Oct 24.-The crew of an American warship, patrol ling the steamer lanes off the coast of France. has just adopted" a French family. consisting of a mother and four minor children. and raised a fund for their temporary support. The ad- opted family was driven from their home in a village near St. Quentin af- ter their home had burned by invad- ing Germans and their crops and or chards pillaged and destroyed. The father was killed in one of the early battles of the war
 Several months ago the family came to this city where the mother obtained employment which just en- abled her to provide herself and the children with the bare necessities of life. Soon after the arrival of the American warship, the sailors discov- cred the family's position and immed- lately presented to the mother a large purse.--The children were taken into the stores and provided with candy and other luxuries. Ever since the American ship has made this port as it's base, this French family has want ed for neither the necessities nor the luxuries of life.
