In addition to the above, have /
the honor to report as follows:
] reached Topeka, Kan, Oh Oct. lst |
ult., at 6 o'clock a. H., and imme-
dlateiy commenced WORK | was soon .
made aware of the circumstances
which prevented our competing for /
the deeP-hsrbor, as provided Tor by .
act Of congress above quoted.
then commenced distributing the
circulars, prepared by Us before left .
Lake Charles, for the purpose Of ad-
yerlising our place. ! found that the |
utmost ignorance, concerning the pos
siblliLles Of CsIcasieu as a possible
outlet to the gulf, existed among the
people Of the northwest
The effect of the circulars, together
with such information as ! could give
in addition, was immediate and great.
This was especially seen among the |
Kansas delegates, by whom | was
known. The effect was 50 great that
a large number OF them, including |
Ex-Goy. Geo. Anthony, Senator J
Leggetl, Rev. A. W. Smith, Hon.
Jackson and others, supported a
minority report, including CaIcasleu
in the bounds OF the proposed harbOF
This enabled me 10 bring a little
pressure to bear upon the Texas dele
gates, and to secure from some of the
most prominent Of them, promise to
/ Ht bSAIA wi Nh4SdF bt5 " DtShtI al dJ
preparation of 100000, for sec
oDdaFy harbor.
also went to Kansas City, which
was not represented in the convention,
and interested some Of the live men
Of that city in our country, by dis
tributing circulars among them, etc.
The distribution Of these circulars
has created a demand for more in
formation among those people in
Kansas and Missouri, and / wouId
suggest that we prepare circular con
tanning fuller information concerning
DOR resources, and provide for it's
publication and distribution.
] am confident that the work done
will produce much fruit, and 1t should
be supplemented and carried for
ward. Respectfully submitied,
w. II. CLINE,
Delegate to Is. D. Il. c.
