was on the effect Of water transpOrta-

10 his remarks. He advocates a $50 =
100000 appropriation yearly for river
and harbOr improvement. holding that
the development of river transporta-
rion facilities is the>only way in which
railway rates can be brought within
reasonable limits. After a brief intro

In speaking of the various Offices he
has satisfactorily held. Mr. Clayton
somewhat reluctantly stated he was

retained for eight years. being elevated
to the Office of president. where he re
manned four years, then serving eight
years longer as chairman of the excel
tive committee.
THE first meeting ever held by the
congress- continued Mr.. Clayton. was
at Montgomery. Ala. in the early part
of 1884. at which only 80 members were
in attendance. We next met at New
