is an exceptionally manageable river,
the improvements already made
showing a maximum stability. In ff-
ty yeas the natural changes in the
river have been slight.
The mouth OF the Tennessee riv-
er is so near the mouth of the Ohio
that st: Louis is, and must always re-
main, the nearest large city. This
fact should actively interest This
community and region. An improved
Tennessee would give access, at the
lowest freight rates, to Kentucky

Georgia, North Carolina and portions
of West Virginia and Virginia. II
wound be the gateway to great MIN
eral deposits and the largest remain
ing hardwood forests. UP to June
80 last the United States govern
memt had appropriated $1164,366
for the Tennessee river, of which
amount ss1S,4iS was allotted for
maintaining and operating the Muscle
Shoals and Elks r'ver canals. Ftorn
Chattanooga to Knoxville the river
is now navigab,e for most of the
year. Last year the tonnage along
the entire river was 1907, ,463, val
ued at $4,000. 900. This business
could be enormously expanded AMI,
more than amy other city of its class.
ST. Louis should concern itself in the
needed improvement of the big
stream. From some point ON It's

there will be a direct railroad to
