shiproom Scarce and Cotton Is PHI
ing Up.
One OF the results Of the storm which
swept away Galveston. destroyed the
wharves and beached several ocean-soins
ships, is a cotton blockade.
While considerable cotton was diverted
to New Orleans, that port was not equal TO
the emergency and has been unable to re-
lieye the congestion
A few days ago The Post mentioned the
fact that the Katy had several hundred
cars ready TO turn over to the southern
Pacific for shipment via New orleans
Since then this amount has increased ana
all the other roads entering Houston are
rolling in cotton ,.
The yards are full OF cars loaded WIN
cotton and the outlook for speedy rellel
is by no means encouraging. Win the
war in China still going on the srea'
powers nave pressed into service NUMBER
of vessels which III normal seasons would
be used in the carrying trade. Bot
toms are scarce and as consequence the
railways must put up with the NEON
venience and allow cotton to remain on
the cars until ship room can be secured
for its transportation across the water
There has been large amount OF cotton
concentrated at st, Louis and shlppe'
from that city to the Eastern seaboard
but the relief IN that direction is small
1t is year when shop room is scarce and
therefore there will be continual con
gestion at the ports

NATIONAL IRRIGATION

Throughout the entire arid region
the plan to construct storage reser.
vo!rs, to be under government control.
to be used for the storage Of flood
waters for irrigation, is almost univer-
sally endorsed.
There is no more important question
now before western senators and rep
resentatives than the reclamation of
the arid west through this means, nor
no project to which they COULD devote
themselves with more profit and upon
which they could com bine every force
with more certain and general support
from their varied constituencies.
Will these constituencies demand
such action on the part of every repre-
sentative sent to the national congress?
The question after all always rests
with the M who casts the vote, If he
will but keep the fact in mind.
