mended that the United States secure absO-
lutte jurisdiction over the river for that
extent.

Mississippi river from near Chicago, via
the Illinois river. is the most favorable
that exists for a water route, and that a
seven-foot channel can be carried from the
mouth of the Illinois river to LaSalle, 100

Joliet, where it will be less than forty
miles from Chicago, the channel can be eX-
tended for s3,5OO,OO0.
