EXPECT NEW DELAWARE AND
CHESAPEAKE CANAL IN JUNE
OPENING IN JUNE TO BE AT
TENDED BY HIGH OFFICIALS
Sea Level Waterway is Part of Sys-
TEN of Huge PrOpOrtiOns-Wil be
Tolls Free and Mark Big Advance

Sea Level Waterway is Part of Sys-
TEN of Huge PrOpOrtiOns-Will be
Tolls Free and Mark Big Advance
The century-old canal connecting
Delaware and Chesapeake Bays will
cease to exist in two or three months
and in its pace will be a new $9,0OO,-
600 sea-level, tolls-free waterway.
This new project, constructed under
the supervision of Colonel Earl /.
Brown, United States Engineer, Unit
ed States government, is one of the
two final links in the longest inland
water route in this country, extending
from the Great Lakes and the ST.
Lawrence River on the north to Beau
fort, S. C.
! Already the waterway from the
North to the South is clear, but not
until the Chesapeake and Delaware
Canal and another short one across
northern New Jersey are completed
will it be possible to send large boats
along the entire inland route.
Plans for rushing the building of
the North Jersey waterway between
BOrdentown and South Amboy were
discussed at length by officials of var
iOus cities along the route and civic
and business leareds last week at a
conference in Trenton, N. J.
The opening of the Chesapeake-Del-
aware Canal suggested for about the
middle of June, so as not to conflict
with the Sesqui-C Centennial celebration
will be the occasion of an extensive
celebration, at which President Cool
idge has been invited and Government
officials, engineers, business men and
State and city officials will take part.
The depth of the new canal is
twelve feet. This will be deepened to
thirty feet as Congressional apprO-
priatiOns are made annually in the
Federal budget.
The change from the old-fashioned
lock canal to the sea-level waterway
probably will be made in three or
four days. Up to this time the new
construction work of widening the
canal has not interfered with traffic
through it. Unless there is serious
trouble from landsIdes while the
transfer is being made, there is likely
to be little loss of time so far as
boats are concerned.
Preparations have been made fo1
any emergency which may arise if the
landslides are serious or last any
great length of time, according tC
Colonel Brown. A fleet of dredges
Immediately will be rushed into the
canal to dig out the channel without
delay.
In the meantime there have beer
dozens of inquiries from interested
shippers and from steamboat compan.
les about the opening of the canal.

crates steamships through from Phil

Will the Sun Catch You Mapping?

A porch that's hot and uncomfortable and that will

Sunny, gIaring rooms that afford no cool, inviting

That's what delayed put-of awning order

Our awnings are all "custom made" to fit your

Well measure and estimate your awnings now
and they be cut and made ready for hanging and
with few hours notice we'll have your awnings in

And they won't be charged of course, till after

the Senate draft of an agricul-
tural bill. This subject has been
so thoroughly debated in the
House recently that voting on
various amendments is practical
ly the only thing remaining in
the House. In other words, the
membership has talked itself
hoarse over the subject of farm
relief, SO that nothing new in
the line of constructive thought
may be expected in general de-
bate. 1t is apparent that efforts
will be made to reach a compro-
mise on the various forms of farm
relief measures, in order that the
legislators may return to their
homes in the rural districts with
a passable alibi. The feeling ex-
lists that they would like to pass
the responsibility for the whole
program to the President.
The estimate of 100000, 900
surplus in the Treasury will, un-
doubleday, revive tax reduction
as a political issue in the forth
coming elections. If these rough
figures are substantiated by a
check-up in the Treasury, it may
provoke a good argument for fur
Their slices in taxes. 1t seems
reasonable to believe, however,
that part of the surplus will be
applied to the retirement of the
public debt which has reached
imposing proportions.
The action of the Senate Judi
ciary Subcommittee in charge of
prohibition measures definitely
establishes the fact that there
will be no National referendum
on the question this fall. Reports
received from campaign managers
in various Congressional districts
show quite Enthusiastically that the
prohibition question will figure
prominently in several primaries
which will be held in August and
September, as we'll as in the No
vember elections. The story is
current that both the dry and
wet" forces will spend consider
able sums of money in an effort
to control sentiment in Congress.
The question of the Eighteenth
amendment and the Volstead Act
is bound to plague many contest
ants for office.

Our WASHINGTON Letter
Oh W CDdley

Washington June 9-One of the
most widely read publications in
Washington today, particularly in
official circles, is what is common
ly known as the calendar. This
publication contains a printed
list of bills, orders. and resolu-
tions which are to be taken up
consecutively, unless otherwise
provided by resolutions or by ac-
tion of the Senate and House in
any particular instance.
Inasmuch as the major COM
mites have ceased to function
for the present session, the mem
bers of the most powerful COM
mittee of all, the Steering Com
mittee, representing the major
ity party, finds itself hardpressed
from all quarters. Some are de
handing that it curtail the legis-
lative program for the earliest
possible adjournment, while 9TH
ers are demanding extension of
time in an effort to obtain con-
sideration of their bills. Com
plant has been made at various
times that these Steering Com
mittees, in both the House. and
Senate, have an autocratic power,
but on the other hand their ex-
istence is usually justified by the
need for smooth working legis-
lative machinery.
The calendar is really a ten
tative plan of business. At pres
ent in the Senate farm legisla-
tion has the right of way with
the French debt settlement next
in line for consideration. The
House has already approved the
debt funding arrangement by an
impressive vote. The Senate,
which usually considers itself bet
ter qualified to handle foreign
affairs, is awaiting the DISPOSE
ton of the debt terms by the
French Government. 1t is ex-
pected that the Senate will mani
fest its will on farm legislative
plans late this week in order to
accommodate Senators who be-
lieved it necessary, from a politi-
cal standpoint, to join in the de-
bate on agricultural issues. Night
sessions have been held and
members of the Senate have
passed up social engagements to
attend to official business.
The House is inclined to await

ASKOV 15-WILLOW RIVER s

The ball game Sunday on the
Askov diamond was featured
mostly by wind and dust. An
extremely strong wind favored
the batters and raised SO much
dust that it made fielding guess
work. Several fly balls that
went over the out-felders and
counted for extra bases would
have been easy outs under ordi-
nary circumstances. Viggo Jen-
sen made a fine running catch of
a high one. The center fielder
for Willow River also made a des-
perate run to catch high one;
he claimed he caught the ball and
it being the third out all the
players came in; the umpire, how
ever, ruled that he lost the ball
and after some arguing the team
went back on the diamond. The
ball which was supposed to have
been caught was later found out
in the field. The following box
score shows the record in detail.

THE COMMUNITY TOUR
OVER TO WISCONSIN

Those who wish to accompany
the Askov Band on the COM
munity tour to West Denmark,
near Luck, Wis, on Saturday,
June 26, may register with Carl
Miller at the hardware store.
This is arranged for the convent
ence of all those who wish to
make the trip so that each one
does not have to write to West
Denmark and register individu-
ally.
Word comes from West Den
mark that they can accommodate
about 100 people in the homes,
besides the band members, but
that they must have the names
so there will not be so much de-
lay after arrival. The names
will be furnished them by Mr..
Miller. The charges are $1.25 per
day per person at the summer en-
campment.
1t is planned to leave Askov on
Saturday morning, June 26, at 9
o'clock making stops several
places and the band getting out
to play. 1t has also been planned
that everybody take their picnic
lunch along and the whole crowd
enjoy a picnic lunch and noon
day concert near Markville or
Dahbury. Word comes from
Markville that there is good
place for picnic lunch at River
side park, 3 miles east of there.
and that if weather will not per-
nit they will open up the hall
at Markville for the use of the
crowd. This hospitality on the
part of neighbors is appreciated
and will likely be accepted with
thanks.

SORENSEN- SEBAI4D

The marriage of Mr.. Clement
Sebald to Miss Susie M. Sorensen,
we'll known Askov people, took
place. at the Catholic church in
Sandstone Tuesday forenoon,
Rev. FIR. M. Rieger officiating.
Practically only relatives of the
contracting parties were in at
tendance.
Following the ceremony the
bridal party came to the home of
the brides parents in Askov vii
lage where refreshments were
enjoyed and the bridal couple
then left on an auto tour to
Brainerd, St. Cloud, and other
places to visit relatives and
friends.
They will shortly go to house
keeping on a farm a mile east of
Sandstone, which the groom pur-
chased some months ago.
The groom is the second oldest
son of Mr.. and Mrs. C. Sebald,
well known and respected pio-
neers of this community, and has
grown to manhood here. The
bride is the second daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. J. P. Sorensen, also
a well thought of family. She
was employed as assistant at the
local postoffce for a number of
years.
They have the best wishes of a
host of friends for a happy we'd

Beroun lost its strangle hold on

league as a result of the game
Sunday at Beroun when Sandstone
defeated the leaders 4 to 3 and
went into a tie for first place
with them.
Oscar Carlson was on the
mound for the Quarrymen and
was almost invincible, allowing
only three hits in seven and one
third innings. Ed Larson who re-
lieved him held the opposition to
one hit the rest of the game.

pired. He had been in failing
health for some time, and it was
thought that death may have
been precipitated by the excite
ment incident to the festivities
of the day. Mr.. Holm was born
at Aalborg, Denmark, lived for
many years in Chicago, but since
1918 made his home with one of
his sons in San Antonio.
Visiting Legislator
G.. A. Gustafson, a member of
the upper house of the Swedish
parliament, has arrived in the
United States, partly to spend
some time with friends in New
York, and partly to study mum
icipal and agricultural problems.
Mr.. Gustafson intends to spend
the summer travelling through
the country, and efforts are being
made to arrange for some lee
lures in various rural communi-
ties, especially In the northwest
ern states.
Going to Denmark.
Frank H. Lowden, former gov
ernor of Illinois, is planning a
trip to Denmark to study the CO
operative movement in that
country. Mr.. Lowden recently
told a Chicago newspaper that he
felt confident Americans could
learn many valuable lessons in
the field of practical agriculture,
from Denmark. With Mr.. Low
den will be a few other Amer
leans who are interested in sub
jects relating to various phases
of agriculture. and the marketing
of farm products.
Retains 'NOrwegian''.
Despite an energetic move
ment for change of the name
with considerable following, the
Norwegian Lutheran Church of
America at its biennial general
convention in Minneapolis last
Tuesday voted to retain "Norwe-
gian' as part of the official name
of the church. The vote was
very close, and it was generally
felt that while the name will re-
main unchanged for the next
two years, the biennial meeting
of 1923 most likely will decide
to take the step which has been
advocated ever since 1917. The
opposition to the name change
comes from the older generation
of the members of the. church.
To Teach Swedish.
Announcement has been made
by the University of Manitoba
at Winnipeg that a three-year
course in Swedish language and
literature will be offered, begin
ming with the next semester.
The first year will be devoted to
the study of textbooks; in the
course of the second year special
emphasis will be. placed upon
translating from English into
Swedish, and vice versa, and the
third year will be occupied with
a thorough study of old and mod
ern prose works and lyrics in the
Swedish language.
