THE UPPER CAPE FEAR
Congressman Thomas n Senator
Pritchard Very Hopeful of Getting
Channel ofEight Feet Depth Between
Wilmington and Fayetteville

The house river and harbor bill as
an item of only $40, 900 for improving
Cape Fear river above Wilmington.
The Fayetteville Observer of yesterday
states. however, that Congressman
Charles R.. Thomas has submitted an
amendment substituting $3.50, 900 to be
expended in obtaining a navigable
channel from Wilmington to Fayette-
Vile, having a depth of eight feet at
mean low water.
Mr.. Thomas writes Major E. J. Hale,
chairman of the citizens committee, of
Fayetteville, on the improvement OF
the Cape Fear, that he is actively at
work in this matter and is very hope
full of success. He also writes that Sen
ator Pritchard is very hard at work
and very much in earnest in h mat
ter. In his letter to Major Hale he
says:
I'VE deemed it best to ask for only
about one-ffth of the money at this
time. Senator Pritchard has seen a
great many members of the committee
personally and says he is confident that
he will be able to secure a liberal ap-
preparation to start the work under the
new project"
Referring to the prospect for getting
h appropriation under Mr.. Thomas
amendment the Observer says:
There is nothing like hammering
away at a thing, if only it be meritori-
Gus. When the house river and harbor
bill came from the committee with only
$40, 900 recommended for appropriation
for the upper Cape Fear, it looked as
if there was slim chance for the great
scheme Of 81, 1920, 900, which w~iseacres
thought too big to be dreamt of for a
mere river"
