NEW HYDRO-ELECTRIC PLANT

VOught Farm of 145 Acres on White
Clay Creek, Near Newark, Purchased
For a consideration of S11,O5O, the
Nought estate, located on the Lincoln
highway, has been sold to a syndicate
comprising Max Keil, Aaron Keil and
George L. Medill, who it is said, will
erect a hydrO-electric generating
plant by using the water power of
White Clay Greek. Such a plant can
serve a large territory of New Castle
County. Bidding was spirited. The
property covers las acres. Plans for
the construction of an electric gener-
ating plant on the estate are being
formulated. Engineers, Who were on
hand at the sale said such a project
was easily practicable as the little
White Clay Greek, which flows
through the land, can be damned up
and sufficient water power obtained
for the purpose.

PUSHING CANAL WORK TO Be
FINISHED BY FIRST OF YEAR
DREDGING is NOW WELL UNDER
WAY BY THE CONTRACTORS
But the Building of Bridges is More
or Less Delayed and Will Not Be
Finished for Atleast a Year


All dredging work now under con-
tract for enlarging the Chesapeake
and Delaware Canal will be finished
by January l, next, Col Earl I.Brown,
I. S. Engineer for the Wilmington
district, told the Atlantic Deeper Wat
erways Convention, at its recent ses-
sion, When this work is completed
the canal will be of the same depth,
II feet as at present, but 80 feet wide
at the bottom, and 10 feet at the
surface. Later, work of deepening
the waterway and removal of the
locks, making it a sea-level ship canal
will be begun. Restriction of the
dredging work to four large contrac-
tors has greatly expedited the opera
tiOns, the engineer declared. If the
digging had been left to small con-
tractors the work would have been de-
layed materially. Colonel Brown re-
vealed that through an error the con-
structiOn of new bridges across the
waterways had been delayed. The
span will be completed, however, by
October l, 1925, he said Colonel
Brown said the bridges are being
built to allow passage of the biggest
battleship afoat. They are of the
vertical-lift type and when raised af-
ford a clearance of 140 feet. An
agreement reached by the army en-
gineers with the Pennsylvania Rail
road concerning a railroad bridge of
this type over the canal was vetoed
by the Comptroller of the United
States Treasury, Colonel Brown dis
closed. That official ruled Congress
had authorized canal of only 12-foot
depth. Therefore, he said, a bridge
to accommodate passage of ocean lin
ers through a deeper canal must be
authorized especially by Congress.
This circumstance, Colonel Brown
pointed out, might work to delay
opening the enlarged canal. He urg-
ed the association to strive to prevent
such a possibility. The work is be-
ing done within the original estimates
made before the war and there is no
reason any additional appropriation
need be sought, he said. Traffic is
going on uninterrupted by the work,
but a suspension for a month when
the locks are ripped out.

SMYRNA HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
Miss Nellie McWhOrter Gets Mention
For Her Poem on Delaware Towns

Miss Nellie McWhOrter Gets Mention
For Her Poem on Delaware Towns
The members of the Senior Glass Of
the Smyrna High School have shown
unusual ability in writing poetry. Fol
lowing is the best poem submitted to
the English teacher, Miss Croft.
The Little Towns of Delaware
The little towns of Delaware
That nestle on her shores
And center round her railroad tracks,
We owe you more and more.
The little towns of Delaware
That sleep the whole night long,
Cooled by a scented ocean breeze,
Lulled by its drowsy song.
The little towns of Delaware
Will ever seem to me
Like stars that deck the Blue Hens sky
Or isles that dot a sea,
Like dew-drops that sparkle here and there
On Delaware's ocean beach.
They stretch from New Castle TO Sussex
Where is grown the luscious peach.
The little towns Of Delaware
Seen through the engines smoke,
How busy and how clean they are
Regardless of burning coke.
Not crowded in deep valleys
Nor buried in tall trees,
But just to the sun and rain.
The starlight and the breezei
The little towns of Delaware,
Wyoming, Clayton. Camden,
MiddletOwn. Odessa. Smyrna.
St. Georges and Port Penn.
How progressive and alive they are,
God keep them clean
And free from sin. and
Let nothing their beauty mar

Wilson, of this town.

large portion OF tho zone assigned
her by the treaty of Algeciras and
outlined his intentions regarding re-
tcntion of power and home rule for
the Moors.
IN an interview at his headquart-
ers in Morocco, the head of Spain .
directory expressed ideas destined to
have heavy repercussion in the
chancellorics of England and France,
which already are seriously preoc-
cupied with effects of the Spanish
withdrawal upon their interests.
In carefully weighed and die

no. opposed to international re.dus.
cussions and perhaps re-vamping Of
arrangements in northern Africa

1912. He indicated emphatically
that intervention by any other pow
ar without such re-discussion "is
impossible and would be violation
of the treaty" He stressed the fact
that Spain is resolved to retain pow
er "until we find Il government fit
and capable of replacing us, and
he emphasized he hoped this would
be soon.
With the aid of Admiral Magaz,
