$2,OOO,OOO PLANT
FOR DELAWARE
Ludlow Manufacturing Com.
pany Acquires 53 Acres at
Edge Moor
700 EMPLOYED AT FIRST

Immediate erection of a S2,000,-
600 plant, covering about ten acres
on land recently acquired at Edge
Moor and extending over the Will
mington line, is planned by the
Ludlow Manufacturing Association
of Boston, Mass, which have been
announced as the purchasers of the
extensive tract taking in the old
plant of the American Bridge
Company, as well as the entire vii
lage of Edge Moor, including the
towns Methodist Episcopal Church.
The Ludlow interests manufacture
jute, hemp and flax yarns, netting,
thread and twines, jute webbing,
burlap, sacking and jute bagging.
The company is said to be the big
gest of its kind in the world and
has plants in Ludlow, Mass; Sa-
vannah, Ga; Allentown, Pa, and
Calcutta, India. The Ludlow Com
pany secured the major portion of
the land from the Edge Moor Iron
Company, comprising So acres.
The tract extends to the Delaware
river. The plant and buildings will
cover ten acres and the first unit
will employ 700 persons. Addi-
tional employment will result from
importation of raw materials from
India at the Marine Terminal. All
labor will be from local sources,
with only superintendent and key
men to be brought here, it is said.
To bring the property to grade will
involve one of the largest dirt
moving jobs ever conducted in this
vicinity. More than a quarter mil
lion cubic yards of earth will be
removed to level the plant site
This work will begin aoout Sep
tember /. Emmett S. Hickman,
chairman of the industrial develop
ment plan committee of the Cham
ber of Commerce, pointed out that
it is the largest industry that has
come to Delaware for great
many years. The company, he
said, first came here in April in
search of a site, at the same time
having a number of other Atlantic
coast cities under consideration
Negotiations have been under way
with the company from the time
of the first visit of its officials
Arrangements for handling the
cargoes were worked out with

MISLEADING INFORMATION

A Kelso, Washington, paper
writing of the colonization of Alas
ka by the government makes sever
al statements of such glaring mac
curacy that it behooves every Alas
kan to challenge them and set the
editor of the aforesaid paper right
if it is possible.
The paper would lead one to be
lieve that the coming colonists are
coming to Alaska to experience in
Vulnerable hardships in opening VI
farms in the Matanuska valley.
This is far from the truth. There
are less hardships in the Alaska Of
today than in many of the outside
states. The days there are bright
and sunny, even in winter, with
but an occasional blizzard. The
summers are warm and delightful.

days a year instead of feeding that

feed on an acre of ground that it
takes two acres to stack it on. The
newcomer will find it a pleasure to
work the rich loan found in all
sections of the valley. The timber
has no tap roots and a five-ton
tractor can pull it over and pile it
as fast as a dozen men can handle
it.
Root crops, berries and leaf
crops, as we'll as oats, barley, vetch

as to be a source of wonderment to
the man in the States, where rs
to 80 bushels to the acre is a big
yield.
There are no dangers from sun

be raised on forty acres of ground
to feed all the towns in Alaska.

The story of Alaska is closely as
sociated with the coast guard, for
in 1867, when Secretary of State
Seward bought the vast Russian
America" it was the old coast
guard cutter Lincoln that was sent
to survey the new territory Four
teen years later another cutter, the
Corwin, hOisted the stars and
stripes over Wrangell island in the
Arctic and claimed it for the U. s.
The claim was later disputed by
Russia, but as that Wrangell island
is almost as bleak as Little Ameri-
ca, neither nation has bothered to
settle the matter.
The coast guard has protected
the seal herd since 1911, with the
result that it has grown by more
than ten times during that period.

to Alaska on the famous old cutter
Bear, recently used by Admiral
Byrd at the South Pole.
In 1884 the old Bear effected the
thrilling rescue of General Greedy
and his men, the same general who,
at 81. was belatedly rewarded by
congress this month.
Another dramatic rescue by the
Bear was that of the crew of the
broken whaling ship Napoleon in
1890. Information about the Ma
Dolaon's plight was scrubbed in Es-
kimo language on a piece of board,
and passed from village to village

proceeded under great difficulty to

These are but a few of the varied
experiences that make up the ira
