An Important Visit.

Wilmington, Specialize distin-
grished party of congressman, head
ed by Messrs. Small and Patterson,
Of this State, making a trip to i'm
portant rivers and harbor points In
this State and Virginia, arrived here
and were met by a reception commit
tee from the Chamber of Commerce,
composed of Mr.. JAS. III. Chadburn,
Mr.. H. G. Smallbones and Mr.. James
Sprunt. In the party are Representa-
tives Josheph E. Ransdell, of Louisi-
an; James II. Davidson, of Wisconsin,
and Wesley M. Jones, of Washington.
Mr.. Ransdell besides being a member
of the House Rivers and HarbOrs COM
mittee, is also chairman of the eXecu-
mmittee of the National Rivers
and Harbors Congress, under the aus
pices of which the tour is beng made.
eve are here to promote Gnterest in
the effort to secure a fixed annual APP
preparation for the rivers and harbors
of this country instead of the niggard-
ly appropriation every two or three
years as is made at present, said MI.
Ransdell. What we want is an appro-
priation of $50, OOO,O 900 a year, instead
of $19,000,O00, as was allowed last
year, and we believe if we can inter
est the commercial organizations of
the cities in the idea the sentiment
will soon be so strong for the annual
appropriation that Congress will not
dare refuse it. We are not here in
the interest of any local or special
project" he said, "but We believe
that if we can establish the fixed APP
| preparation annually all meritorious
projects will be taken care of, includ-
ing the great inland waterway along
the North Carolina coast"
