THE GULF COAST INTERESTED IN
THE RIVER AND HARBoR BILL.

THE GULF COAST INTERESTED IN
THE RIVER AND HARBoR BILL.
The people along the Mississip.
nj Gulf Coast are fnanifesting an
unusual degree of interest in the
River and Harhor bill now pend
ing before Congress, owing to the
fact that the bill contains an APP
preparation for a survey and iln-
provement OF the port at Pasca-
eoula, preparatory to the cutting
Of O 25-foot channel through Horn
Island pass. The Mississippi
members of Congress are very an
xious to get this clause through
as the immense growth of the
lumber export business along the
coast renders two good-sized har-
bors necessary. With good ports
at Gulfport and Scranton the ex-
port trade of the State will be
properly looked after, aud it Is
the belief that within the course
Of d few years one of the trunk
lines will be build a road to Pas
cagoula.
