WILMINGTON AS A PORT.
Its Development Project Warmly
Praised by Philadelphia
Newspaper.
h,iadelphIa Record. April 25.

Philadelphia Record. April 2e.
To many persons IL has always been
a matter of more or less wondermeht
that the founders OF wilmington
perched II upon a hill a mile or more
distant from the Delaware river
which would have seemed to afford Il
more likely and more accessible site'
TO be sure, narrow ana tortuouS
creek, the Christiana, connects the
Delaware metropolis with the NOBLE
stream into which II emptes. hut as
link IL has never been satisfactory
Ocean steamships could not navigate
it, and for over two centuries winning
ton has been forced TO see great
foreign commerce pass up and down
the river and to nourish vain regres
that il could draw no benefit from this
trade. Though nearer the ocean than
Marcus Hook, Chester. Philadelphia ana
Camden, IL has derived no advantage
from this fact. while those communi-
ties have drawn no little prosperity
from their shipping interests.
Well all this is To be changed, and
Wilmington is going to recttfy the mis-
take of its founders. It's Harbor Com
mission. with n fund of s4,0o0.0o0 to ex-
pend, has had elaborate plans prepared
for "a harbor at the junction of the
Delaware and the Christiana, whcro a
large amount of ground has been pur-
chased for tho necessary improve
ments. Ample facilities are to be pro-
vided for both foreign and coastwise
vessels and Philadelphia will wake up
some day to find that a fine port has
been established to divert some Of the
business which now comes to IL,
We congratulate Wilmington on its
public spirit. and hope that its enter
prise win be a great success. The Della
ware river is broad and deep enough
to carry a vastly greater commerce than
Il now enjoys. and there ought to he
trade enough for all the communities
along its shores. even as far IA T'ren-
ton. at the head Of tidewater. Whining
toms progressive step comes concur
rontly with those taken by Camden and
Chester. and Philadelphia has for years
carried on an elaborate program OF
harbor development. All VIII feel the

ABOUT THE WEATHER

This part of the country has been
having a very long spell of unusually
warm weather, Unless the memory Of
the old timer is faulty it is unprece-
dented in its duration, For almost four
weeks the dry, warm spell has contin-
ued.
The official records show no warmer
June since 1878, but this 1921 spell
continued into July and at this writ
ing, Tuesday evening, July II, shows
no signs of abating. Last week Thurs
day there was a down pour of rain, the
first since June IL, and the rain was a
blessing as farmers in this region were
becoming really alarmed. Dry pastures
began to be reflected in butter prices
and potatoes and grain were suffering
severely 1t was the same yesterday as
i "as Tuesday. Hot, that's all
For the past four weeks the two
municipal bathing beaches have proved
blessing. They have been in constant
daily use by throngs.
We surely do get all kinds of it. Who
remembers six years ago when it was
so cold all summer that corn hardly
grew. This years stands likely to be
remembered as the warm summer un-
less it reforms pretty soon.

NEW MINIMUM WAGES

Revised minimum wage schedules
for women and minor employees have
been made public by the industrial
commission. Increase is given some
classes of labor, with the hours of work
remaining without alteration, the re-
port. arrived at after months of study,
shows.
Raise in the minimum wage of
women employees and minors over IL
as granted being the scale from % to
25 cents an hour in cities with popula-
ton over 5000 No change is made in
cities Of under that limit recognition
for the first time that there is a differ
ence between the living wage in small
community and in larger cities
Reduction is made in the beginning
rate for the first three months from Is
cents to l6 cents per hour. No change
is made in the present rate of 20 cents
per hour for the second three months
of employment in any industry, and
similarly no change in the present pro-
vision of a six months learning period.
For minor employees between IA and
l6 the new rate is IS cents an hour,
during the first year Of employment
and 20 cents an hour during the second
year, instead of the existing fat is
cent rate. Minors between 10 and II
may be paid 10 cents per hour during
the frs six months in any industry and
must be paid 20 cents thereafter.
Another change provides that if the
piece rates in any establishment yield
the minimum wage to rs per cent Of
the experienced employees, they will not
be required to make up the deficits in
the earnings of inefficient employees.
The commission found that the pres
ent hours of labor are not injurious to
the health of women and minor EN-
poyes. 1t announces that it will CON
tinue to make Investigations.

BOARD OF REVIEW

The board of review has been in ses-
sion at the city hall The only impor-
tant proceeding before the board was
the fight of the Cereal Products com
pany to compel reduction of the as
seSsment on the big plant formerly used
as malt house and brewery by Rahr
Sons company The plant is assessed
at about Ss00,0OO, which the company
claims is grossly excessive since
national prohibition became operative
The company made the same fight
last year and that assessment is now
the basis of case pending in circuit
court to be heard probably this month.
Unless there is a substantial reduction
this years assessment will probably be
the basis of another law suit There
was an imposing array of expert testi-
mony on the values of former malt
houses and breweries
The assessment last year was about
100000, the reduction of about $780,
600 being due to the razing of one of
the large buildings during the year
The Mantowoc Plating company
made a rather belated, but none the
less vigorous protest on an assessment
of 1921 900 claiming that $4,000 would
be plenty The board reduced it to
100000.

IN MUNICIPAL COURT

Edward Grover, of Two Rivers was
catching brook trout in Kriwanek creek
in the town of Gibson the other day.
He had seven-inch rule in his basket
but he had not been using it when
Game Warden John Egan came along
and inspected his catch In municipal
court Monday he paid $50 and costs for
catching and retaining under sized
trout,
1t cost Henry Zurich S10.7l to have
impressed upon him the valuable in
formation that traffic cop at the
street intersection is to be obeyed more
strictly than the late lamented Car of
Russia. Officer Dufeck at Tenth and
Washington streets held up his hand
with a majestic gesture but, to the
amazement of all onlookers, Zurich
ignored the behest and proceeded on
his way. The S10.7l was the penalty
for the lese majesty

WAR ORPHANS HERE

Last week there arrived in this city
ten little Siberian boys, war orphans.
They were part of a larger group as
signed to st. Mary's Polish Orphan
home here.
Two hundred boys recently arrived
at Chicago from Polish homes in south
ern Siberia which region has been
devastated by war. They were rescued
by Polish relief agencies and were sent
to America partly through the aid of
the American Red Cross. Ten was all
the local home could accommodate.
They are bright appearing young
sters, in good health and apparently
well cared for, at least of late. None
of them could speak a word of Eng
lsh. What the plans for the future of
the boys are is not clear. They prob
ably will not return TO Europe unless
parents should turn up, or some other
reason demand the return.
The youngsters in common with all
the other boys at the home were guests
Monday at the presentation of the pic
ture Of Jackie Coogan in "Peck's Bad
Boy" at the new Capitol theater. The
Rotary club furnished transportation
fon the army Of boys.

Weather and Crop Conditions in Wis.

Heavy scattered rains have occurred
during the week in all parts of the state
and crops were much benefited, partic-
ularly in the north. The rains came too
late to help small grains in the south.
Hail and high winds caused some dam
age to grains in few localities. Corn
is doing fine, potatoes fair to good.
Small grains are being harvested and
are generally a small crop. The winter
wheat harvest is about completed in the
south. Oats are doing well and are be-
ing cut in the extreme south. Haying is
in progress in the northwest and about
completed elsewhere. The second crop
of alfalfa will soon be ready to cut in
The south. Pastures are burned out on
high land and some feeding of cattle is
necessary. Berries are light Cranber-
ries are doing fine. Cherry picking is
in full swing. Tobacco is in excellent
condition Truck fair to good
