ST. Louis. Nov. 20.-A New Orleans
special to the Globe-Dcmocrat says:
| Congressman iiartholdt, of ST.
Louis. who arrived in this city last
night. after having made the trip
down the river with the Mississippi
river commission, of which he is
member has given out the following
interview:
First Trip Down the River.
This is my first trip down the riv-
or, and am delighted ut the condi-
ton have found the banks to be in.
l had very much desired TO make the
trip before. as then | would he able
TO better appreciate what is needed
when suggestions are presented TO the
levee and improvement commission of
congress. of which | am chairman,
but il was never convenient before
this.
Was Deeply Interested.
"Being "A ST. Louisan. | was deeply
interested in the work being done be-
tween ~. Louis and Cairo. Ill. That
work. YOU know. is the deepening and
contracting of the channel between
those two cities. and which. when
completed. will give us deeper water.
~. Louis is determined 10 have eight
feet of water. and she will get it.
Later we hope TO have II feet. and
4 SO thoroughly believe in the ability
of st. Louis to get what she wants
that | am also confident she VIII get
or BENEFIT to Both cities.
"Now. ! wish YOU 10 distinctly I'M
derstand that simply because | speak
OF st. Louis | don't mean To imply
that the deepening OF the channel will
rebound only to her good. Ii is OBJ
vous to every thinking man that
every foot of water which can he
added between -. Louis and Cairo
benefits New Orleans also. In the flu
ture. the interests of st. Louis and
New Orleans will be even more close
ly allied than IN the past.
Means Heavier Draft Vessels.
The deepening Of the river be-
tween 1t. Louis and Cairo means that
in the future we will have vastly larg-
er packets plying between these
places. | feel confident that some time
small-sized ships viii 90 TO ST. Louis
Everything is possible. and il is
merely matter Of time before YOU
will no longer see the old style. fat

er. but in their place You will have
vessels OF propeller build. These will.
of course. be lighter Of draft than
the larger ocean vessels. but they will
have draft sufficient 10 afford consd-
erably more tonnage than the steam
boats are enabled 10 supply. They
viii he faster. too.
The New Barges and the ola.
~ few years ago people would have
said that there could be no improve
ment--that is. no radical improve
menr-in he style OF barges employed
in bringing down grain and other
through freight. Look at the whale
back bargeS. they are as far ahead
of the ordinary barge as modern
yestibue train is over the old-style
railroad trains. But do not believe
that the whalcbacSs are the solution
OF the problem Of fast and cheap
freight transportation of the Missls-
sippi river. No. sir: il is merely the
beginning. and still greater improve
ments may be looked for in the near
future.
The work between st. Louis and
Cairo is turning out splendidly. SO we
found. and eight feet Of water be-
tween Cairo and New Orleans is al
ready assured.
