is remembered that in a memorial to Congress 1t has been asked that the work be continued. It is ably presented in these paragraphs:
 'It has been suggested that it would be better to abandon this entire scheme. rather than continue this wasteful plan of operations. To abandon this project would be to repudlate the purposes of our forefathers as far back as 1923. and throw away all the money that has been spent on this important stream. When we take i nto consideration these facts in connec- ton with the magnitude of the river, the rich fields of agriculture, forests, iron ore lime, coal and manufacturing through which this magnificent stream flows in such close proximity to the sea- board the abandonment of this project cannot be within the contemplation of any rational man.
 ""The able engineers in charge of this work estimate that $600O,O00 will give four (D feet slackwater navigation from Lock Four to Wetumpka, Ala. which Is the portion of the river now closed to navigation. This money can be more economically spent in six years than 1t can be in twelve and more economically spent in twelve than in twenty-four. Therefore, We Fecommend and ask: That Congress place the work of opening the Coosa River to through navigation on the continuous contract plan and appropriate six million dollars. to be spent in six years in the opening of this important stream. The work to be done according l to the plans and specifications previously | furnished by the. engineers in charge, and | that the work be commenced at Lock Four, and continue down the river from l there and at Wetumpka and work up | the river from that point, and continue in this form until completed.

dition to this, it is safe to say that by the opening of the river new enterprises would spring into existence and vast amount of new traffic would open up In iron ore, coal, lime and lumber from the rich districts lying idle in the valleys thereby more than doubling the river ton- mage.
 Taking into consideration all these facts, 1t is safe to say that with the Coosa River open to through navigation, the commerce to be handled on the bosom of this great water way, would approximate two and a-half million tons per annum. which would give 6,850 tons daily. This would require 23 steamers per day, of 300 tons burden each to handle this great mass of freight.
 Water Powers.
 There are many valuable water powers on the numerous tributaries or the Coosd River and many more could be establish ed on these smaller streams; then in ad' dition to this.Ath locks and dams that will be constructed in the work of open ing the Coosa River to through naVlga' lion will develop immense water powers all along that portion of the river upon which such locks and dams are built.
 The fall from Greensport to Wetumpka that portion of the river in which the ranids occur, a distance of 142 miles, ls 367 feet. The total number of horse powers that can be developed rom tht fall and water discharge on this part ol the river is 3S2 SS2 horsepower. By the ononing of the river to through naviga tion would give river transportation iron these great water powers to all parts of the world, and would stimulate tho development of these powers and theil utilization for operating factories of al kinds until the Coosa River would soor be almost lined with factories from it' source to it's mouth.

 Now, in conclusion, I beg to say, as clearly as the. Mississippi was provided by nature as a water route between the great grain fields of the northwest and | the cotton and sugar fields of the South, 1 the Coosa River was intended for trunk | line of water transportation between the ! rich fields of agriculture of North Geor- ] gia and North Alabama and the great
 mineral belt of North Alabama and the seaboard. Therefore, in behalf of the Coosa Valley, ask our friends, the good people of our sister States and cities, and
 especially Atlanta, Chattanooga and Bir- | mingham, to join us in our efforts to get this great and magnificent stream open | to through navigation to the gulf. and | thereby promote our mutual interests | All Alabama Is especially interested | in the development of this great water | power and they all hope that the present | Congress will do something like justice | to the most important work.

Rose coghlan Wednesday.

The forthcoming production of that thrilling society drama. Forget Me Not, matinee and night by Miss Rose Coghlan. and specially selected cast of players. promises to be ore of the most fashion able theatrical events of the season.
 Some of the most intensely dramatic scenes in the rarge of modern drama are compressed into this four-act play, which gyss Rs S8 fRl and ioqRs tRe fGF display hey of the talent which has won her inter national fame.
 Rose Coghlan's splendid performance of Stephenie De Mohrivar in Forget Me Not" is attracting widespread attention all over the country. The part itself gives every opportunity for Miss Cogh Ian Nowadays, repose and q great deal the great are opened wide to actresses. No prominent actress of America has been more widely received or sought af- ter than Miss Coghlan. When a society actor suddenly finds himself in the com pany of peers. peeresses and million aires, 1t Is apt to disturb his mental equilibrium. On both sides of the At lantic Miss COghlan has been accorded social courtesies of m unusually gracious nature as befits her position and ability. To talk intimately with Miss Coghlan is to discover woman without illusions; whose view of life Is optimistic and ironically good-natured, sure of herself and of her powers to please.

To talk longer with her is to find a woman of experience and tolerance, whose distinguished career as an actress has endowed her with krowl- edge and wit.
 Her acting in Forget Me Not is the perfection of artistic work. but there is nothing aggressively artistic about her personality. The role of Stephane en- sbles Miss Coghlan to prove that her power of dramatic expression is as great as her purely comedy gifts. and as a Ada Rehan, it is claimed her peer has not been found. This seasons perform ance of Forget Me Not establishes the fact that Miss Coghlan in an emotiona role is the most accomplished actress or the American stage.
