FROM LAKES TOGULF.
Movement for a Deep Waterway
Has Been Finally Launched
at St. Louis.
CHICAGO TO ST. LOUIS IS FIRST
Cost of the Work Put at S31. 100000
with Fourteen Foot Channel
Address to the People.

st. Louis, Nov. 1.-THE Lakes to-
the Gulf Deep Waterways association
became a fact when the plan for
permanent organization and the report
of the nominating committee were
adopted at the final session Of the con-
venticn of the provisional association
organized by Representative Lorimer,
of Chicago, and several of his congress
sional associates, which has been in
session at the Odeon for the last two
days. The objects of the association
and principles for which it stands are
set forth In an address to the pub
lie" prepared by the committee on res
olutions and unanimously adopted by
the convention. This says in part:
What the Waterway Is To Be.
1.-THE time has arrived for a generous
expansion of our national policy to-
wards all works Of internal improve
ment The proposed deep
waterway is to extend from the Chica-
go drainage canal through the valleys
of the Desplaines and Illinois rivers
to the mississippi river at Grafton,
H., and thence down the Mississippi
to ST. Louis. and is to have minimum
depth of fourteen feet throughout. We
recommend that for the purpose of
meeting the probable future needs OF
navigation theminin.um depth over the
mitre sills of the locks should be twen-
ty-one feet in the initial construction.
Chicago Has Shown the Way.
1.-THE excessive cost of the project, as
shown by the engineers estimates, was
due mainly to the existence of the
prominent barrier between the great
lakes and the Mississippi valley. This
chief obstacle to the prosecution Of this
project has been removed by the drain
age canal. According to the estimates
based recent surveys by the United
States engineers the work remaining
to be done in order to complete the
deep waterway channel to st. Louis
will cost S31, 100000.

TRADE OUTLOOK IS ROSY
Only Trouble Seems To Be the made
Quacy OF Transportation Facfai-
ties. Says Dun * Co.

New York, Nov. 17.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review OF Trade says:
Trade expands under the stimulating
influence Of colder weather and mer-
camille collections improve, although
rates for money continue high. Trav-
cling statesmen send in large orders to
leading distributing points, but move
ments Of merchandise are still retarded
by inadequate transporting facilities
Current business is good and prospects
for the future are brighter. Labor dis
putes have reached amicable settle
ment in most eases, wages being adj
vanced.
The most striking development Of
the week was the unprecedented out
put OF pig iron in conjunction with
large imports and advancing prices.
Other Industrial reports were scarcely
less gratifying. Prospects In the iron
and steel industry are bright beyond
precedent. Contracts cover the Gu
pacity of the mills far into next year.
and in some cases TO 1908. while the
small tonnage that can be delivered
promptly, commands liberal premiums.
Textile industries are active, but the
primary market for cotton goods has
Quilted down after the conclusion OF
initial purchases.
Liabilities of commercial failures
thus far reported for November
amounted to S2,326.42S, of which 1888,
501 were in manufacturing. $1,362. SAC
in trading and $S0,5S1 in other com.
mercial lines.

MARRIED by a Torrent

Panama, Nov. 17.-President Roose-
welt. who stopped at the Tivoli hotel
Thursday night. started at a. m.
with Mrs. Roosevelt and the other
members Of his party to make an ex-
animation Of the Culebra cut. The
weather was overcast, lreatening
rain. At $50 a. m. the presidential
train arrived ut Pedro Miguel, where
some steam shoyels were at work. The
president had his train stopped for the
purpose of making a personal examina-
ton. At this point in the cut the pecu-
liar soil conditions have resulted in
more or less frequent landslides, and
this fact was brought to the presidents
attention.
He Hears a Labor Grievance.
President Roosevelt descended from
his train and climbed up on one of the
steam shovels, taking a seat alongside
Engineer Gray, whom he subjected to
a searching fire Of question regarding
the work. During his conversation En-
gineer Gray took the opportunity, on
behalf OF himself and the other engin-
GERS, to declared thatunlike the railroad
engineers they were not paid for over
time. The president promised to look
into this matter. He stayed on the
steam shovel about twenty minutes
By this tine it was raing hard.
Wants to See the Whole Thing.
President Roosevelt told Chief En-
gineer Stevens that he wanted to see
all the works in connection with ex-
cavation, even to the temporary laying
of tracks. With this in view he board
ed work train near Pedro Miguel
ard went on to the next point where
steam shOvels were at work Here
there was no danger of landslides. The
presidential train continued on the reg
ular line toward Panama. The work
of the second steam shovels was OBJ
served, and the president made a de-
tour to examine the site Of the Pedro

superntitIons of Farmers.

Farmers "stick TO the moon" in re
gard to planting corn and other crops.
Some Of them will not under any cir
cumstances plant corn on moonlight
nights, claiming that corn planted then
will produce tall stalk with short
ear. Others just as successfully plant
when they are ready, when nights are
dark or moonlight, as the case may be.
Other notions are indulged in, such as
throwing the cobs in running water to
keep corn from firing. Some farmers
would under no consideration burn
pnder lIulls, the seed Of which is to be
used for planting. They must be scat
tered along path or highway, to be
trodden upon in order to secure good
crop. Green butter bean hulls must be
thrown in a road after being shelled
for table use from day to day to insure
a good crop the following season.
