ADEEP WATERWAY
An Association Has Been Formed
10 Promote 0ne From the
Lakes to the Gulf.
AN ADDRESS 70 the PUBLIC
It's Proposed Route Is Through the
Chicago Drainage Canal, Des
PIainea and Illinois Rivera
to the MississiDUi.

Ct. Louis, Nov. 1.-THE Lakes,to'
the-Gulf Deep Waterway association
became a fact Friday when the plan
for permanent organization and the
report Of the nominating committee
were adopted at the final session Of
the convention Of the provisional as
ISOLATION organized by Congressman
william Lorimer Of Chicago and sew
eral Of his congressional assistants
which has been In session at the
Odeon for the last two days.
The objects Of the associations and
principles for which 1t stands are set
forth In the following address to the
public" prepared by the committee
on resolutions and unanimously adopt
ed by the convention.
"The time has arrived for a gener-
GUS expansion Of our national policy
towards all works of international I'M
provement, which have heretofore oc-
cunied such subordinate place In ma
tional expenditure; especially in COM
parison with the great sums that have
been appropriated In recent years for
army and navy purposes, which appro-
priations have by far exceeded the
expenditures for all other departments
Of our government.
I'm the belief that when backed by
progressive public sentiment the Unit
ed States congress can be induced to
embark upon liberal policy for the
development of the international wat
erways Of the nation.
1.-THE proposed deep waterway is
to extend from the Chicago drainage
canal through the valleys Of the Des
PLANES and Illinois rivers to the Mis-
sisslppi river at Grafton, Ill, and
thence down the Mississippi to st.
Louis, and Is to have a minimum depth
Of IA feet throughout. We RECON-
mend that for the purpose Of meet
ing the probable future needs Of nav
tgation that the minimum depth over
the mitre stills Of the locks should be
81 feet in the initial construction.
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 val
ley.
This chief obstacle to the prcsecn-
ton Of the project has been removed
by the drainage canal.
According to the estimates based
upon recent surveys by the United
States engineers to the work remain.

1.-THE ARABIAN NIGHTS"
Sir Richard Burton's Translation of
the Tales.


the Tales.
1.-The Arabian Nights" was first in
troduced to Europe by a Frenchman
named Galland, and the first English
versions were simply translations of
his. Then a DR.. Scott gave a very su-
perior edition, occasionally corrected
from the Arabic" In 1899, however,
appeared an English translation entire
ly from the Arabic. with copious notes
and illustrations. 1t was Edward Will
liam Lanes, a gentleman whose long
residence in Egypt had fully qualified
him for his work. This translation
may be said to have held the field un-
ard Burton. Sir Richard was a daring
and successful traveller, who had re-
markable facility in acquiring eastern
languages. He performed a pilgrim
age to Mecca disguised as a pilgrim, a
feat as difficult as it was daring In
British consul at Triest. Here he
applied his knowledge of Arabic to
making a faithful translation of 1.-THE
Arabian Nights Entertainments" sup
plementing his work with copious notes
and terminal essays which have been
called a mine of curious and diverting
information. Its publication caused a
great sensation. Details were freely
given that had previously been sup
pressed. But the accuracy of the trans
lation as whole was candidly ac-
knowledged. and Burton may be cred
tied with having made into the Eng
lish language the finest translation of
these wonderful Arabian tales.-Lon-
