| save to Central Kansas wheat growers, on
freight On their wheat alone, over seven and
one half million dollars and on other grain
products several million more.
As to the cost of constructing this can not be
accurately estimated until survey is made
giving the exact mileage and the amount Of
earth to be removed, including masonry, etc.
| However, with modern appliances for canal
building, the work can BIO done through this
prairie country at very small cost rs compared
to the old manner of constructing canals,
especially through country where the earth's
surface IL rough and billy and INSTRUCTED with
rock and timber. Therefore 1t seems reasona-
able 10 anticipate that the cost Of building the
canal would be small compared to the benefits
to be derived from 1t.
The waters OF the Missouri river will never
be Of any advantage to us for transporting our
grain ~ the Gulf as its shifting sands and
treacherous channel makes 1t unfit for naviga-
ton, no matter how much money the govern
ment may expend on it and tho only plan to
utilize the waters of the Missouri and It's trib.
utalies IN to make a new channel In the form
Of n canal through territory that will give a
hard ground bottom.
The canal would give an immense amount Of
water power sufficient for moving the barges
both up and down, as well as operating mills
und electric plants, and the chain of lakes and
reservoirs that would be formed by crossing
the valleys and streams in its course would
give large area Of water which would have
Its effect in increasing the rain fall as well as
opportunities for irrigating These lakes and
reservoirs would also tend to certain extent
to prevent the hot winds that are often disas.
trous to our crops. In fact there are so many
advantages to be- obtained by such canal that
one could hardly estimate the great vaiueit
would be to the country at large.
The United States government should be
largely interested in this proposition as II has
spent millions Of dollars developing deep water
harbors in the Gulf Of Mexico that arc prac-
tically OF no value II freight cannot DO turned
In that direction. In addition to this the
1sthmian canal will be- built thereby connect
ing the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans, thus
making great shipping course through that
section to all parts OF the world, therefore ID
would be the natural result that our grain
from this section in going to the Gulf would
readily md cheaply be taken to the markets
OF oil countries at very small cost as compared
to the present freight charges prevailing.
This Is a matter Of such vital Importance to
the country In order to keep railroad freight
rates within bounds Of reason. thatin self pres.
eryation we should force this matter TO sue

able area Of land to the great advantage Of

OF course you understand that the main object
70 DO obtained Is to reduce the cost Of trans
portaton of our grain to tba markets OF the
world,
The proposition Of canal through the Grain
Belt OF Dalsota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma
and Texas to tho Gulf Of Mexico seems tho
only way Of solving the lteishr rate question
as, In this day Of combinations no matter how
many railroads there may DO constructed o.
operated, through the wheat belt to the gulf,
the railroads will combine and establish a rate
and maintain it, which, without water compe'
tition will be at least double what it should be.
We are now paying on wheat from Pratt to
Galveston, q distance Of $40 miles, ~ cents per

from Pratt to Kansas City, a distance, OF S75
