Of delegates representing the States
Of the great Mississippi valley, from
Duluth to the Gulf of Mexico, gives
its unqualified approval to the move
ment for the construction Of water
way connecting the great lakes at the
north with the Mississippi river and

We recognize the expenditure Of
thirty-five million dollars by the

teal demonstration in the furtherance
Of this project. We express the hope
that the senators and representatives
in congress from the various States
represented in this convention will
give their encouragement and assist

favor Of the completion of the deep
waterway, to which the State of Illi-

its president. Charles Scott, has been
Of great and lasting value, and its
continuance is a matter of vital i'm.
