FIRST STEP TOWARD
INLAND ROUTE.
Col. Quinn So Calls Action of Com
mittee on Brunswick Channel.


mittee ON Brunswick Channel.
The announcement in the Morning
News yesterday that the special COM
mittee appointed to investigate the
advisability of cutting through from
the Altamaha river to Back river,
near Brunswick, is regarded by Col.
Quinn as the first step taken to-
ward the inland route. The Skidaway
Narrows project was a part of the
original plan
At present boats along the Altama-
ha are compelled to pass into St.
Simon's and other sounds on their
way down to Brunswick. Consider
able danger was run by this route
danger, which the new route will COM
pletely Obliterate. When completed
the boats can come from all points
along the Altamaha river to Brunswick
by an inland route, sheltered from
high winds, and ocean storms.
The plan is feasible owing to the
deep water in Back river. BY moving
a short distance down the Altamaha
boats reach Clubb's creek. A short
distance from this creek, at a point
nearly opposite st. Simon's sound
runs Plantation creek. By cutting
through this narrow strip of land boats
can easily reach the Back river, and
thence move down it to a point only
short distance from Brunswick. The
plan is one which was warmly advo-
Gated by Col. Quinn and the report
of the special board, recommending the
work, is highly pleasing to him.
This is regarded as the first step
in the original inland route project
of which the cut through Skidaway
Narrows was a part. Though the lat
ter has been lost sight of for the pres
ent, Col. Quinn is confident that it will
be heard from later, and that event.
ually the entire route will be estab-
lished. When this is done the dan
ger of ocean trips will be greatly les
sened Nand traffic bettered in more
ways than one.

COL. QUINN GOES TO
NEW ORLEANS

Col. James B. Quinn, division chief
morrow morning for New Orleans, La,
where he will spend the holidays as
the guest of relatives. A fifteen day
leave of absence has been granted him

.pGrtment. Yesterday the finishing
touches were being put to the closing
work of the year and many bills were
vouched for and checks signed by Col
Quinn. The remainder will be finished
to-day If possible, in order to avoid
delay and danger of letters going
astray if they are sent to New Orleans
for Endorsement, a thing that will be
necessary after Col. Quinn leaves for
the holidays.

MORE MONEY FOR SAL
WALTON ARMY DINNER

The Salvation Army is very anxious
that better support be given it from
the public in its efforts to provide a
dinner for 500 poor of Savannah on
Christmas Day. Only about half the
necessary amount has been raised thus
far and Capt. McSheehan is anxious
to carry the original plan through.
Yesterday two corps were on the streets
and only 8 cents was secured. Though
this is discouraging the army will con-
tinue their efforts. and are still hope
full of success. The project is a pure
ly unselfish one and one which should
receive the hearty support of every
one. Any one having any donations
will be called upon by Capt. McShee-
han If they will notify him of the fact.
Both phones have been installed in
the army headquarters at West Broad
street, their number being 2S4O Geor-
gia, and 1922 Bell

SOME PRESS OPINIONS
Concerning Musical Organization
to Appear Here Thursday.

Kurkamp and his band of picked
artists and musicians is an organi-
zatlon that can please the masses
and at the same time satisfy the
most exact and fastidious critics.
The soloists this season are Agnes

that could have been procured, and
the public is assured of an artistic
rendition of the best works by these
competent performers on the occa-
