WE publish elsewhere a letter
from the Hon. James w. Jones In
regard to the proposed canal, which
is intended to connect the waters of
the Tennessee and Mississippi riv-
ers. Many years ago this idea was
suggested by Gov. Cannon, to tap
the Tennessee river with a canal at
point near Pittsburgh Landing,
so as to connect it with the head of
navigation on the Hatchie at Boil
war, thus cutting off 900 miles of
round about navigation between
the Tennessee and Mississippi riv>
ers. The pamphlet sent US by
Mr.. Jores contains letters read by
Civil Engineer John j. Williams
before the Board of Trade of jack
son, giving his views of the pro-
posed canal via the Forked Deer
river, he having made a partial
survey of the route. To cut the
canal to connect with Hat chic riv-
er Will be much nearer and less eX~
psnsive, and if the project is ever
carried out the latter route viii no
doubt be selected. The United
States government has appropriate
ed millions of dollars to build canals
of much less Importance than the
above mentioned. The people of
Hardeman county may yet see
floating palaces pass down the wa
terS of Hatchie river. II is not at
all impossible. for this is progress
sive age, and various things are ac-
compllshed that seem unreasonable.
The increasing business of the
Southern country demands that
this canal be cut, aud eventually it
will be done. In the mean time,
let us keep Hatchie river open.

HATCEIE RIVER.

From time 10 time, il the past twenty
Eve years, during sessions OF various leg
fslatures, efforts have been made TO re.
strict the possible navigation and COM
mercial uses Of Haichie River. 1t Is
true that the river seems now to be of no
great commercial advantage, but 1t ia
also true that many years ago from TO-
600 to $4,000 bales of cotton 6oated down
its waters from Hardeman County alone
and gathered from the 6elds of Fayette,
Haywood and Upton, on its way to our
inland sea, the Mississippi River, with all
the cotton and other products from those
counties, all or nearly all going TO Mem
phis.
The BULLETIN does not wish to antag-
oniEe any Of its friends, neither docs il
wish to act as partisan in any matter
of contention among its neighborF; but
the BULLETIN feels sure in two things;
1Et, That vast majority Of the people
Of Hardeman County wish Hatchie River
kept open.
End, That all possible avenues OF COM
merce should be kept open for the public
good.
A few people in certain neighborhoods
In the county may sign petitions to close
the river. Ten or twenty times as many
people in the same county sign no petit
tions to the contrary, because they take
it for granted their Legislators know what
they are doing.

Faulkner was president of the Gulf

Hatchie River ana the Canal.

EDITORS BULLETIN-I enclose
herewith a pamphlet IN reference
to proj .osed canal to connect the
Tennessee River with the waters of
Big Hatchie or Forked Deer, accor-
ding to whichever is the most fea-
sible, or perhaps both. 1t is plain
to the most casual observer that
the great advantage lies in favor of
Hatchie, The object is TO estab~
lish more dhect waterway be
tween the coal and iron mines and
stone quarries and all the great
industries which lay upon either
bank of the Tennessee River on one
hand, and Memphis and the MIS-.
sissippi OH the other.
Any one must see at a glance that
if this is accomplished, that Hatch
lie will becOme at once II great ar

that steam canal boats shall ply
upon this canal aud river. which

arises. is the measure practiea bic or

tives were at first disposed to treat
the proposition jestinglY, AMI as an
absurdity; but closer investigation
showing the small cost apparently
at hich II may be accomplished,
and the great results which must
flow to our country and section from
it, and the fact that it is being
urged by some of the soundest and
most practical business men OF
South western Tennessee, lead us
to consider the matter more serious
ly, and the further fact that it is
not proposed TO appropriate the
money of the state to the work, but
the general government, and if the
republicans In congress must still
have holes to put the surplus in,

THE Forked Deer Blade of the
18th of February, contains lengthy
article from the pen of John Jay
Villa ms. Civil Engineer. on the
feasibility of cutting canal from
Tennessee river via Jackson to
Estinaula, OH The Big Hatchie,
which would place Memphis IN
cheap wafer communication with
the coal, iron and marble region of
East Tennessee and North AIaba-
ma. A still cheaper canal could
be readily cut from the Tennessee
to the head waters of Big Hatchie,
only distance OF twenty or twenty
FIVE miles. The cutting of such a
canal was recommended by Gov.
Cannon to the Legislature OF this
state in 1929. The advantage OF
such canal will yet be seen by
Memphis and will be built. 1t
would make Memphis one o the
best manufacturing centers IN the
United States. Yet, our legislature
in their bin iness are proposing 10
blockade Hatchie with railroad
bridges. We trust the members
from Upton and Shelby will be wise
enough to see the evil and defeat
it.-Iipton Record.
