such an improbable dream to fancy the
great mountain range presided over by
Pixies Peak linked directly in a union
of water navigation with Atlantic's
billows, nearly 5000 miles away.
There are possibilities worth consid-
ering on the western side of the
Rockies. The Federal Government has
been working persistently to make
navigable the Columbia River from
the Pacific to Northern Idaho.
Between the navigable heads of the
Missouri and the Columbia then will
interpose a stretch OF country OF some
800 miles. Why cannot canal be dug
across this barrier? 1t is believed that
100 miles may be subtracted from the
actual digging distance by dredging

Montana.
It is true that even by following the
most advantageous of Rocky Mountain
valleys serious engineering problems
would have to be overcome. In 100
miles from Fort Benton to the most
available summit level locks would
have to arrange for an ascent of 1900
feet or more. But there is a lift of
200 feet in five miles on the Erie canal,
and engineering skill has made won
derful strides since that boat route was
constructed.
Such is the route by which persons
now called dreamers- foresee a trans

Mahoning, the route will then strike
across country to Ashtabula. The total
distance is 135 miles, but the natural
waterways will reduce the digging dis

Each year from Pittsburg and viz
cinity 90,000,o00 tons of freight go out
by rail, while the furnaces receive 25.-
900. o00 tons of iron ore. If a large part
of this traffic can be transported in
bar1es ct one-third the present cost
an Immense saving will result. 1t is
believed that an adequate ship canal
to the lakes will, in time, do the work
of twelve or fifteen railroads at about
the cost OF one.
The canal is to be twelve feet deep,
and a number OF locks will be required.
These will be constructed to permit OF
an additional depth OF three feet later.

An inland water route along the At

Rio Grande. has been discussed for
years. 1t is believed that this project
is coming more and more into favor,
and that few years may witness the
beginning of the work.
1t would seem that a start had been
made, at least by the present revival
of the movement to connect the Chesa-
peake and Delaware hays by means. or
a ship canal. which plan Is now being
investigated by asFederal commission
for report to Congress.
Feasibility of this plan Is increased
by the fact that natural waterway
exists for nearly the entire distance, SO
that only comparatively short artificial
cuts will be necessary to link together
the present bodies of water. Torpedo
boats and other small craft can now
pass from Providence. r. l.. to a point
100 miles south OF Cape Hatteras with
out venturing upon the ocean.
To link up tho various natural bodies
and provide a continuous inland chan
mel for large craft, the plan starts at
Boston, with a ship canal, nineteen
miles long, from that harbor to Mar
ragansett Bay. 1t would be necessary
to deepen and widen the canal across

dredging OF some 800 miles of the
Illinois and the Mississippi rivers to

1t Is said that the electrization of rail-
roads and the automobile will do away
with the horse. Now, we Westerners
know the horse situation andeswe have
found that for every horse replaced
by electricity or motors the impetus
this gives to trade in a general way
necessitates the use of two more horses

The West does not care to produce
the dude horses of the East-the fancy
carriage and saddle horses-but ii pro-
duces the horses which do the work
OF the world, and hence their impor-
tance.. A movement is now on foot to
persuade the Government to take up
the work OF raising draught horses ex-
perimentaliy in the West. just as IL is
experimenting with carriage horses in
the East. This work OF raising car
riage horses is valuable. of course. but
to a limited class. The same work
along the same lines in experimenting z
with everyday types of horses would
benefit a far greater number of peo-
pie. 1t is proposed for the Govern
ment to abandon the post at Fort

tablish there an experiment. station

Such work would be invaluable to the

CANT ELIMINATE ROOSEVELT.

The attempts of the Democratic
eliminate Roosevelt from the approa-
ching campaign provokes a smile.
The Democratic press in an attempt to
hoodwink Republicans eXclaims:
Roosevelt is all right, his ideas are
correct, but Congress is not; there
fore we must have a change" And
pray who is Roosevelt? He is the
great American people in this case
He is all that is good and great in
governmental affairs and he is doing
what he knows the people of this great
country want done. 1t is admitted that
it was Roosevelt's great strength of
character, his wonderful aggressive
ness that played u great part in the
victories for good government in Con-
gress during the last session But
does anybody suppose that with a
Democratic congress at his back he
could do what he did with a Republic
can congress? The fact remains that
n Republican congress did do the
work that is credited as good and
great during the session recently clos
ed. What Roosevelt did with a Repu-
blican congress can be done again.
There need be no fear of the result
on any issue with majority of the
Congress good and trustworthy men.
and such was Il majority of the Repub-
lican side. If any sano man can figure
out how n Democratic Congress, such
as is being prayed for by the leaders
of that party. can accomplish greater
or even as good results as a Republi-
can body, backed by the President, he
is entitled to an audience by the peo-
pie. With all the "harping" and ran
ting that the Democracy is doing:
with the bitter denunciations directed
against every Republican, credited to
Senator Bailey and other good" Dem
ocrats; in fact, with all the rot that is
being injected into this campaign by
the Democratic press, it still remains
n fact that Congress did achieve much
that was meritorious and that it was
a Republican Congress that did it.
And above all there stands the figure
of Roosevelt, the Republican. whom
the Democrats are trying to eliminate
from this campaign, Just how the
Democracy figures that it can defeat
Roosevelt this fall is a mystery, fol
the election of n Democratic Congress
would be slap at the President. ant

TO REPUBLICANS:

We are anxious to have every
Republican in close touch, and work
ing in harmonywith the Republican
National Congressional Committee in
favor of the election of Republican
Congress.
The Congressional campaign must
be based on the administrative and
legislative record of the party, and,
that being SO, Theodore Roosevelt's
personality must be central figure
and his achievements q central
thought in the campaign.
We desire to maintain the work of
this campaign with popular subscrip-

licans. To each subscriber we will

issued by the Committee.
Help us achieve a great victory.
