OUR RIVERS AND HARBORS.

II ROM the tenor of the speeches made at the
r National Rivers and Harbors Congress- re-
Gently in session at Baltimore it is evident that
some at least OF the influential people of this
country have become convinced it is high time for
Our Government to undertake the work Of river and
harbor Improvement according to a rational system
instead Of leaving it to the hazard of 1og-roinq in
Congress. The Government has never been extrava-
giant in the amount of money expended for such i'm
provements when considered as a whole, but it has
every year wasted roney by making expenditures
where they of value to commerce, while eav-
ing unimproved many points upon which millions
might have been economically invested
In address before the congress Chairman Bur
ton of the House Committee on Rivers and Harbors
pointed out that during the four years from 1907 to
1901 the amounts appropriated for rivers and har-
bors, including continuing contract appropriations
were in the aggregate only $63o6o,717. That sum is
certainly not excessive when the extent of our rivers
and harbors is taken into consideration In fact as
Mr.. Burton said it is but fourth of the amount
appropriated during the same period for one arm of
the military service.
Mr.. Burtons plea for 1ibera1ity in appropriat-
ing money for such Improvements, but the beraty.
as he went to say, should be exercised with dis
elimination. We should not scatter the money &c
cording to the demands of Congressman striving
each to get appropriation for his district but
should be applied where it would be of use to the
nation as whole Mr.. Burton laid down a good
rule the subject in saying "In view of the neces
sary limitations in the amounts appropriated in river
and harbor acts, and the pressing need for deeper
channels and improved facilities along established
lines of traffic. it is better to appropriate for localities
where traffic is already established than where it is
uncertain or problematical. 1t is more business
like to finish and obtain results from it than to
make piecemeal appropriations upon all"
A similar solution for the problem was offered bv
Mr.. Schermerhorn of the Philadelphia Board Of
Trade, who in describing an "ideal river and harbor
bill" said: ut would provide for careful cassi6
cation of these improvements in the order of their
relative importance to the interests of the country
from the broadest and most comprehensive stand
point. 1t would provide for the rapid and system
attic improvement of these works in the order of their
The San Francisco call., 1901-10-17

importance and need, with due regard to the subor-
dirate development and improvement of secondary
minor waterways
Some carefully considered systematic programme
of river and harbor work such as was suggested by
the Baltimore congress would doubtless have the ap
prova of the great mass of the American people 1t
would, however have the antagonism of Congress
men seeking appropriations for the creeks of their
districts and its adoption by Congress could not be
obtained without long preliminary campaign of
education. In the end however, something Of that
kind must be done. The steamships of our time are
rapidly increasing in size They already large
that comparatively few harbors are deep enough to
receive them. Harbor improvement, therefore, is
enforced upon all the great commercial nations of
the globe.
Experience has proven that in the economy of our
time it is cheaper to fit the harbor to the big ship
than to use small vessels that are fitted for shallow
harbors. 1t estimated by one speaker at the
congress- Mr.. Lincoln of Boston, that the saving in
ocean freghts to the American people by reason OF
the increased tonnage of ships has amounted in the
last twenty years to upward OF $3oo,oooooo. That
sum will go far to repay all the harbor improvements
we need for many years. Therefore the fight for
systematic river and harbor improvement ought to
begin at once and be prosecuted vigorously.

"Hunph. " "

The meaning of the word "humph" was
recently the subject of judicial decision in
the Irish Court Of Appeal. Justice Mad
den and Justice Boyd held that "humph ,"
as used by Sir Walter Scott and Miss Aus
ten in their novels, was an expression of
dissent, while the Lord Chief Justice and
Justice Burton inclined to the conclusion
that "humph" only meant a dissatisfied
condition of the mind" The Court Of Ap-
peal has now decided that the word is IAN
expression of doubt or dissatisfaction. -
or, as Lord Justice Walker put it, in the
words Of the Century Dictionary" "a
grunt Of dissatisfaction"

During the recent races for the Americas cup three
systems of wireless telegraphy were used in making
reports, but an expert from the Navy Department
who detailed to note their comparative values
found that when the three systems were being
worked at the same time it was impossible to read
the messages of either Of them The operators were
finally forced to divide time so that no two were in
operation simultaneously. Unless such interference
be prevented there will be complications in the
future for should the ships of one country be signal
ing by one system and the ships of another country
begin with different system neither signal could be
understood. 1t is case where too many cooks
would not merely spoil the broth but spill it.
