A CHASNEL s5 FEEp DEEP.

Savannah or1gfht to have a channel
from her wharves to the sea IS feet
deep. She is entitled to such a chan
mel because of her rapidly growing
commerce and also because of the
steady increase in the draft of steam
ships. 1t is we'll understood of course
that Savannah is far ahead of any 9TH
er South Atlantic port in the matter
of commerce. and that there is no
doubt that her supremacy in this re-
spect will be maintained. Her COM
merce is growing all the time, and as
the territory tributary to her is de-
veloped it will assume much larger
proportions than it has at present.
And the fact must be kept in mind
much greater area of country than
that from which she has been drawing
trade. This territory, however, is be-
ing brought within her influence as adj
ditions are built to her railroads or new
roads are constructed. 1t has not been
so very long since Tennessee, Alabama,
Arkansas and Mississippi admitted that
she was the natural outlet for a large
section of their territory by sending
their cotton to her for export.
1t may not be long before the prod
ucts of a large section of the West
will be seeking the markets of the
world by way of her wharves. The
recent agreement between the Sea-
board Air Line and the Rock Island
and Frisco system justifies the expec-
tation that the time isn't distant when
the Middle West will be contributing
to Savannah's commercial Importance.
But there is danger of trade being
diverted from Savannah unless she has
a depth of water in her harbor that
will accommodate the ships that do the
carrying trade of the world. 1t may
be that Savannah doesn't need a chan
mel 80 feet deep Immediately, but there
is every reason for thinking she Will
need it in the near future-before an
appropriation can be obtained and the
work done. Therefore there ought to
be no delay in the matter The Cham
Der of Commerce and the trade bodies
of the city should take the matter up at
once and keep hammering at it until
success is achieved.
Owing to the work that the big
dredge is now doing there will be a
channel of % feet in the near future,
but that isn't enough. A depth of IS
feet is wanted, and as there are no en-
cheering difficulties in the way of OBJ
tanning it the sooner a campaign is or
ganized for the deeper channel the bet
ter it will be for the city's welfare.
