DOING UTMOST TO HAVE OHIO
DREDeED BETWEEN EVANS

APPEAL TO ROOSEVELT.

When the committee representing
the Louisville Board of Trade and the
Greensboro Business Mems assoca-
ton went to Cincinnati to have the
Ohio between Louisville and Evans
vile dredged they were told by Col
onel Ruffner, WHO has charge Of this
particular part of the work, that he
had no money nor dredges available
for the work, says the Evansville Cour-
Ter. Upon the committee pointing
out that there We're two dredge boats.
one in Louisville and one in Memphis
lying idle, they were given very little
satisfaction
On June II they addressed a let
Ter to Washington. setting forth the
great need of ana the many advant
ages TO be gained by having a navl.
gable stage all year round in the
river between Evansville and Louis
vile. and showing how easily. quick.
ly and cheaply the work could be
done They suggested that ether of
the idle tredgas or any available
dredge could do the work in thirty
days with almost no additional expense
to the government.
In answer to this communication,
they received a letter dated June 20,
stating Cd that the request had been
referred TO Colonel Ruifner; (2) that
the dfedge boats referred 10 belonged
to the Mississippi river, and conse-
quently could not be used on the Ohio
when needed on the other river, and
60 that the 100000 allotted to i'm
provement of the Ohio river was being
used at other places along the river
and there were no funds available for
improvement of the section in ques
ton.
This not being satisfactory, tie com.
mittee again wrote to the department
under date of June q. In this they re-
specially stated that they believed
the reasons given for not dong tie
work were purely technical ones and
ms sted that their request be given
the attention II deserves.
For a number Of years past the
lower part Of the river has suffered
while the upper part of the river
above Cincinnati seems able to sc
anything in the way of improvements

already. and II tneir last appeal tc

Remove Liaht Rails.

The Illinois Central railroad will
begin work Monday replacing the old
rails on the track between this. city
and Poseygille, Ind, with S5-ponnders,
says the Evansville Courier.
This is the only stretch north of
this city without heavy rails. The
track from Poseyville to ePoria hav.
ing been completed some time ago,
and when finished The Illinois Central
will have as fine track out of this
city north as is to be found in the
country.
The rails are already along the road
bed and the officials are satisfied the
advertisement in this mornings Cour-
Ter for a crew of laborers to assist IN
replacing the track will procure them
a sufficient number of men to start
on the work Monday morning
The taking up Of the old track and
laying Of the new will be done in short
sections at a time, so as not to inter
rere with traffic along the line.
Contracts have been let BY the Illi
nos Central for its double track WORK
between Atoka and Wilmington, Tenn.
The old roadbed will be abandoned al
most the entire distance between the
Two points, and the station at Upton,
Tenn, will be removed enc mile west.
When the contract is completed the
Illinois Central will have double
track on its main line between Chica-

Harrison for Congress

The story comes from Chicago, ap-
parently on good authority, that the
Hon. Carter H Harrison is getting
ready 10 run for Congress. It is said
that Mr.. Harrison, who used to live
in the. Ninth Congressional district,
has since his retirement from the Of
fee of mayor become a resident of
the First district. The Ninth was not
a good region for the cultivation of
his Congressional aspirations because
it is hopelessly Republican; but the
First is reasonably close and Mr. Har-
risen is understood to calculate on
his personal popularity 10 elect him.
Accordingly he has taken up his resi-
dence at the Auditorium, in the First
district. and the politicians are watch
ing for the doings to start.
If Carter Harrison wants to come
10 Congress he ought TO do so. He is
one of the most promising young men
in his party Without being a strong
leader or an original moral force in
public affairs, he has a splendid in
stinct for getting on the right side of
things, for keeping there and for
effective handling of political situa-
tions. He has had an intimate ex-
perience in political management
such as very few men in the Demo-
cratic party today have enjoyed, and
he has been successful. He would
oeme to Congress with excellent pres
tige, a good record. and an attractive
personality; three things which would
at least assure him the opportunity
