TRANS-MISSISSIPPI CONGRESS.
Sneeches and Discussions Cover Wide
Range of Subjects.

Kansas City, Mo, Nov. 22.-Speech-
es and discussions covering a wide range
OF subjects took up the time yesterday
Of the three sessions of the Trans
Mississippi Commercial congress. I'm
proved waterways, insurance and cur
rencv reforms, the value Of the Pan
anna canal as a means of enlarging our
trade relations with the South Amer
lean republics and the necessity OF
closer relations between the United
States and those countries. the great
value to the South Of improved leyees
and the resources and needs of Alaska
were some of the topics touched upon.
The principal speakers were j. f.
Ransdell, representative in congress
from Louisiana; W. u. Nandiver, su-
perintendent of insurance OF Missouri /;
DR.. w. $. Woods, president of the Ma
tional Bank of Commerce Of Kansas
City; John Barrett. United States min
i>ter to Colombia; Minister Calderon,
of Bolivia; Minister Pardo, of Peru
Minister Cortes. of Colombia; Secre-
tarv Do Amaral, of the Brazilian lega-
tion at Washington; Representative
Morris Sheppard, OF Texarkana, Tex.
John q Brady, of Boston, ex-governor
Of Alaska, and Major T. |. Clarkson, Of
Seattle.
Mr.. Sheppard, who is credited with
being the youngest member Of the ma
tional house, made an earnest plea for
the upbuilding of. the levee system, and
won warm applause from the delegates.
He began by declaring the levee is one
of the most important factors in the
economic growth of the United States,
and of many other countries.
lie took the various arguments urged
against levees, especially the claim
that they were an interference with the
laws OF nature, and showed that the ar
suments were without foundation. He
demonstrated that there was no real
conflict between irrigation projects and
levee enterprise :, showing that they
were the product Of entirely different
geographical conditions and had COM
mon aim. the improvement OF the pro-
ductiveness of the soil.

RUSH JETTY WORK.
General Mackenze's Recommended
tions for the Coming Season.

Washington, Nov 23 General
Mackenzie, chief Of engineers, in his
estimates recently submitted to the
secretary of War, asks for only 81 ,000,
600 to continue work on the jetty at
the mouth Of the Columbia river. In
his annual report, however, General
Mackenzie makes clear the necessity for
securing authority to eXpend an addl-
tional 81 ,45O, 900, which will be ample
to carry the south jetty to completion.
In his report General Mackenzie re-
views the work that has been done at
the mouth of the Columbia and points
out what remains to be done before
the demands Of commerce are met.
No appropriation is now needed for
improving the Columbia river between
Vancouver and the mouth of the Will
lamette.
Work on The Dalles-CelilO canal has
only Just begun. In addition to money
already appropriated, S., ,533, 1872 must
be appropriated to complete this water
way. Only $3.50, 900 has been asked
for for the ensuing year.
No estimate has ever been made of
the amount necessary To make the up
per Columbia and Snake rivers navl-
gable the entire distance from Cello
to Pittsburg Landing. Ten thousand
dollars is needed next year.

TO IMPROVE
WATERWAYS
National Rivers and Harbors Congress
! TO Meet in Wa Ellington.
Our Government Expends Twenty-Five
Times As Much for War and Its
Effects as in Directly Fostering
Trade-Such is the Statemen ut of
y Congressman RansdeII.

The United States government ex-
pends 25 times more in Indirectly fOs-
tering trade than in doing 90 directly.
In other words this governments spends
$500, 900, 900 annually for war and its
effects, which are presumed to foster
trade, and but $40, $50, 900 for the i'm
provement of rivers and harbOrs in this
country-a direct method of not only
fostering, but also creating and up
building trade This is the essence Of
a startling statement made by Chair
man Ransdell Of the National Rivers
and Harbors conrgess, in a recent ad-
dress before the Portland Chamber Of
Commerce. He stated that the nation
al government annually expends $l69,-
600 900 for the navy, $l66, 900, GOO for
the army and $l44 100000 for pen
sions. Congressman Ransdell believes
that if the United States can afford to
expend so vast sum annually for war,
it surely can make at least substantial
appropriations for the improvement Of
the rivres and harbors. 1t has been
estimated that an appropriation OF
$50, 900, 900 at the coming congressional
session will aid materially in improv-
ing many Of the present rivers and har-
bors and open others so that they may
become navigable and be what at pres
ent they are only supposed to be-the
main arteries of trade and practical rate
reducers. To do this the leading com
mercial organizations, and, in fact,
everyone interested in the welfare OF
our country, is cooperating 50 that all
forces may throw their influences to-
gether and secure this appropriation,
the effect of which will necessarily be
inestilnable.
Able men will head the Pacific
Northwest delegations to the National
Rivers and Harbors congress which will
meet in Washington, d. c., on the 9th
and 9TH of December. The object of
those who compose this congress is to
secure a national appropriation OF $50
600, 600 for the Improvement OF the
rivers and harbors of this country and
with the tremendous influence OF this
powerful organization there is no doubt
Of success.
