CLAIMS OF THE NORTHWEST
For an Increased Share in the Appropria-
tiOnS for River improvements.

ST. PAUL. MINI, Aug. 1.-THE State river
commission, in An explanatory letter to the
editors of leading journals at st. Louis. Mem
phis. and New Orleans, explaining the call for
convention of upper river States and Territories,
independent of the lower river interests protests
against the representation in Southern journals
that the call was meant as hostile or antagonstic
to the South, but is the right of independent
action. The latter says the policy
has been to slight producing centers
like the new Northwest. bestowing the bulk OF
appropriations on other sections, and cites
figures in proof, and argues that nine States ana
Territories in the Observation-Disclosures, Wisconsin,
Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska,
Dakota and Notwithstanding over seven thous-
and miles of navigabe water way, and producing
the bulk of all the grain and meat of the country,
received an aggregate of ST., 500 900 in the river
and harbor bill, which gives 81 OPT 600 to points
on the Mississippi, below Cairo, alone The
amount needed for improving the water
ways reaching the Northwestern ter

with the benefits to be secured by them. Six
feet of water on the Mississippi above St. Louis

rate between ST. Louis and St. Paul, when the
river is closed. is 40 cents but on the opening of
navigation steamers make rate of 20
cents, and rates merchandise are now
as low as five and ten cents between the two
cities, which railroads cannot meet This on a
partially improved river But for this the resu-
lar rate would still be forty cents and we would
do no business with St Louis. We hope to see
the time when we will have a rate of six cents

and float our crop via ST. Louis. This we can
secure when our river improvements are COM

dollars at the utmost
