Stored and Pumped
Water

Reservoir during the month of DC
tOber provided for storage OF
1910 acre feet on November 1st.
The total water pumped at the
end of October amounted to 90,S46
acre feet, leaving 9,154 acre feet
vailable from project irrigation
rells for the remainder of the
calendar year. The total available
stored and pumped water, at source
# supply. was 2S.564 acre feet on
November 1st. OF this approx
mately $4,000 acre feet will be re-
quire d to supply undelivered
waters of former appointments.
There is. therefore. 10,564 acre #.
# water available for the 4th ap-
portionment for the calendar year
1899, measured at the source OF

Records show that the gross
acreage of farms of the project
that are under irrigation and culti-

totals S2,500 acres of which AS
500 acres are white-owned and 34,-
coo acres are Indian lands. Based
or this acreage and the amount of
additional water available for ap-
portionment. this 4th apportion-

for the season. of 1899 is now
1867 acre feet per acre, measured

In order that landowners may
know what to expect as to the
amount of water which may be de-

supply. il is estimated that one
tenth (010) &C. ft. per acre may
be delivered to farms out of this
apportionment which makes the
total of apportioned stored and
pumped water at the point of farm
delivery amount to 1.25 acre feet
per acre. Delivery may be made

The Colorful 40
Celebration In
Coolidge Is Ended

The Days of 40 celebration on
November 3, 4, and s, which was
sponsored by the local American
Legion, drew the largest crowd
ever ito assemble in Coolidge.
Governor (Bob) Jones appeared
in true '49 costume Saturday
afternoon. The governor was
greeted by a II gun salute given
by the David Hood Post No. 81.
His appearance was a complete
surprise as no one expected him,
and he was photographed with two
40 legionnaires before he was
recognized by the crowd. The
governor Immediately entered in
to the spirit of the celebration and
mingled with the crowd. He stated
it was hard enough to recognize
the women, without trying to re-
call the strange creatures calling
themselves men with whiskers.
Late Saturday afternoon the
Sacaton Indian Band gave an ex-
cellent two hour concert. Practical
ly all Of the Indians from the
Sacaton II dian reservation were
present to oin in the festivities.
Crowds .ammed the dance floor
both Friday and Saturday nights
to dance to the swing music OF
Fred Perry's Orchestra. Prizes
were awarded Saturday night to
the women wearing the most out
standing costumes and to the men
with the best growth Of whiskers.
Mrs. w. R. Urton won first prize
for her costume and Mrs. A H.
Walker was awarded second prize.
Dave Davis growth of whiskers
brought him the first prize and
M M. Ware received second.
Everyone recognizes the fact
that the success Of the celebration
was due to the whole hearted sup
port of all the business men in
Coolidge and the many friends OF
the American Legion. The mem
bers of the American Legion de-
sire to use this medium to ex-
press their appreciation and
thanks for the 100 per cent CO.
operation Of the entire community.
The ladies also deserve full credit
for their assistance, especially In
lending color to the celebration
with their many costumes of hoop
skirts, sur bonnets, long skirts.
pantaloons and western attire.
One of the MOST outstanding
costumes worn by the men was
that worn by J. w. Hogue, an
elderly man who appeared in
fox fur cap, burlap suit, a No.
pistol, an old Flint firing, muzzle
loading shooter, and Is inch
hunting knife. His costume was
that of the Daniel Boone era.
Wherever he went the crowd
gathered to give him the once
over.
Coolidge has definitely proven
that cooperation get results, as
was evidenced last week end.
Practically all business houses re-
port an excellent turn out and feel
well satisfi ed with the results. The
members of the American Legion
feel very happy over the results
as they now have nice sum IN
their building fund.

Road Project Delays
Due To Old Laws :
Rights Of Way Suits Drag
Through Court The Cow
ernor Is Told

Maryland's antiQuated c0hdemna-
ton laws delay State roads aprojects
much as six months, while suits
to acquire rights of way drag
through cours Ezra B. Whitman,
chairman of the State Roads Com
mission, told Governor O'Conor.
In the commissions progress re-
port, Mr.. Whitman said rights of
way difficulties delayed contract
awards ON a 2.4-mile section sof- the
new Philadelphia road for thirty
three weeks.
Contractors submitted bids on the
project from the Delaware State line
to 'Jhe Chesapeake City road on Sep
TENDER 81, 1898, but rights of way
condemnation suits under the un-
wieldy present law prevented award
of contracts until May Is, 1899, he
reported.
Maryiand's present condemnation
law does not permit title to pass to
the State until jury has fixed the
price of the property involved. QtASr
State3 have condemnation laws
which allow the State to take inn
mediate title to needed land, the
damages being fixed later by a jury.
In discussing ahe progress Of the
road, Mr.. Whitman said the 2.4-mile
segment had been graded and one
concrete lane laid. This link will
cost $4,000. A second contract
for a sixtenths of mile sector has
been let for $4,000. A contract for
the overhead crossing OF the Pen
nsylyania Railway and Little Elk
creek soon will be let.
The grading and drainage con-
tract from the creek to North East
has been awarded, and the road con-
struction contract soon will be grant
ed. The distance is five miles, and
grading work cost $234,000. A like
contract for grading from North
East to Foy's Hill, four miles, was
let for $4,000. These contracts
were held up by right OF way action.
Condemnation suits are delaying
award of the grading contract for
the segment from Foy's Hill to the
eusqpehanna bridge, . project sur
yeyed and ''ready to co. when the
suit is completed.

c. & D. Canal Open
To Larger Boats
Project Expected To Be Com.
plsted To 27-Foot Depth
At Early Date

Vessels of up to twenty-two-foot
draft may pass through the Chesa-
peake and Delaware Canal under new
regulations announced by Major G.
W. Burlin. Philadelphia district en-
gineer of the War Department.
Previously use of the waterway
was denied to vessels of more than
dwenty-foot draft. Within the next
few months the project is expected
to be completed to depth OF twen-
ty-seyen feet.
Many stretches are already at pro-
ject depth. Some sections, however.
have depths Of twenty-three to
twenty-five feet.
Vessels of under $50 feet In
length may use the canal without
prior arrangements. Vessels between
200 and 435 feet are required to
make pior arrangements for trips with
the dispatcher at Chesapeake City.
Tugs must be used in the canal
proper by vessels exceeding 3S5
feet in length. Traffic is being dis
patched SO that vessels of 2S5 feet
or more will not pass each other In
the canal proper.
TO facilitate maneuvering at the
Delaware river entrance to the canal
the entrance channel has been
widened on an angle Of twenty-four
degrees, the engineer in charge
reports.
Any vessel Of over 500 dealweight
tons when approaching either Of the
four bridges spanning the waterway
is required to stop engines at the
blow for bridge" sign, located S.
600 feet from each bridge.

Opening the waterway to ships Of
deeper draft is calculated by G. H.
Pouder. director of the Exports and
Import Bureau Of the Association OF
Commerce. to boost Its use substan-
tally over previous leYels.
