navigable, continuous lines of boats
were run between Jefferson, Tex
as, and New Orleans, La. But for
the coming of railroads, no one
would doubtless have conceived
the idea or regarded the cutting
out of the raft a necessity. The
proposition was approved by the
the engineering department as an
improvement to the navigation.
Of the JIMPLECuTE had the law
authorizing the cutting done, it
would reproduce it as curiosity y |
For thirty odd years or more this
objectionable blunder has been
permitted to remain uncorrected
Notwithstanding time and again,
this section of the state has sent
up petitions after petitions praying
and pleading for the navigation
once had be restored. Nothing
more has been asked. Nothing
more wanted. Our petitions have
been put aside, endorsed, "the
commerce does not justify it,"
That ended it, The people knew
their duty. Knew their rights,
and they continued the fight,
The country tributary to Jefferson
has. progressed with the balance
of Texas, until now, the excuse of
years ago can not be endorsed on
the peoples selection, 1t has been
plainly demonstrated that there is
no sort of question, but the saving
in freight by navigation in Cypress
river, will more than pay for the
improvement in one year. Sup
pose it required five, or ten years,
even then the government if it
wishes to protect the interest of
the people, would justify the i'm
provement. 1t is evident to any
one who has carefully considered
the reviewing boards report that
their conclusions were made to fit
the case. In other words the
reasons given were an after
thought-the original-the com.
merce-had been shown to be
there. If by reason of connecting
Cypress with Red river, navigation
necessary to be given the territory
tributary to Jefferson the relief
wanted is not given then why carry
Red river on the list of navigable
streams. 1t was nayigable nearly
the entire year, prior to the re.
moval of the raft, hence the eX-
cuse given is another serious re-
Election on the engineering depart
ment OF the government. Restitu.
ton should be made. 1t does not
matter whether Red river is navi
gable or not, all the advantages
gwen navigable stream is given
to the territory tributary to it.
Therefore it is nothing but strict
and unvarnished justice that Cy-
press river should be connected up
with Red river so as to participate
in and enjoy all the prerogatives
which accrue to Red river. Is this
not fair? Is it not justice? Then
who should do it? Should not the
same power which broke the con
neclion restore it? Is it not strange
that the engineering department of
the government should assign as a
reason for not making Cypress
river navigable that if done so, the
connection with one of their navi-
gable streams would not afford the
relief necessary. To an ordinary
man this proposition Is pregnant
with inconsistencies so glaring and
so plain that she who runs may
