But il ia unnecessary to dwell

But 1t is unnecessary to dwell
upon the importance of carrying
20 feet of navigable depth from the
sea LOO miles inland into the heart
of the continent before an audience
so exceptionally intelligent as the
one whom have the honor of ad-
dressing, even if it were in perfect
taste to do so in postprandial
speech. / will, therefore, simply
say, as an engineer, that it is entire
ly practicable to secure this result,
and tnat when the river shall have
been thus improved there will be
but little need of levees in the allu
vial basin of the river.
Again I thank you for your cor
dial greeting and for your patient
attention.

The annual session of the National

acterized as an unusually profitable
one. The principle was then reas

political one. But there was, new

future must turn its party atteutio,
to the interests of that great and

And the sentiment will undoubtedly

Its subordinate ramifications to the

IT'S yours to bring to our waiting doors
The signs from the mountain heights of life,
From its valleys low, from its barren Shores
From it's walks Of peace and its fields of strife:
To herald pleasure and pain, to tell
If the pulse of the earth beat i'll or well.
IT'S yours to reap in thousand fields.
To drink at a thousand fouDts and bring
The richest fruit that the harvest yields,
A cup from the purest spring.
To those who fain such fields would know
To those who thirst for the fountains flow.
To weave from the raves of yesterday
A robe for the new day. fresh and fair;
TO lead from lower and narrow WAYS
Up to purer and fresher air;
Hotpoint to where in the dim afar,
Shines the whitest sail and brightest star.
To know, if fearless and lust and true.
Earnest and honest, in thought and word
with the needs of the world, be they old or new
Keeping your spirits in chord,
In this great electric age you stand,
The mightiest force in mighty land
Measure and weight for silver and gold
Praise or blame as the hands have wrought
But when has ever a mortal told
The fate of spoken thought?
On the t1reless waves of a soundless sea-
1t reaches the shores of eternity.
In an ancient volume unknown to fame,
ind this legend of hill and wood:
That every arrow will find it's aim.
Ii first tbs dipped in the hunters blood
The legend has meaning for every hour,
1t holds the secret of all true power.
Give to the world of your choicest gain
From the realms Of reason and rhyme and art,
But send the thought of the cool, white brain
By the way of the warm, red heart.
So shall you lead in life's great van,
So shall you triumph, oh brave pen-clan.
