SAYS ILLINOIS WILL AID
GOV. DENEEN cHEEREp AT WA.
TERWAY CONVENTION.
Tells How His State Will Cooperate
in Lakes to Gulf Proiect-Shows
Importance of Route.

Memphis, Tenn, Oct. Gov. De.
neen of Illinois was given an enthus-
iastic reception by the deep-waterway
convention and often cheered during
his speech favoring the improvement
of the Mississippi. He said he be-
lieved Illinois was ready to cooperate
in the promotion of the deep water
way, and he remarked that a good in
dication of this was the fact that the
general assembly of the state is to
meet Oct. in session which is to
consider the subject of waterways and
water-power development. The gov
ernor continued:
"A survey made by United States
engineers has shown the feasibility
of plans for the development of deep
waterway from Chicago to ST. Louis
and estimated it's cost at $31, 900, 900.
The Importance of this situation arises
from the fact that between these two
cities lies the passageway of all the
east and west land traffic of the coun-
try.
A"It is to be presumed further that
certain features in the development
of our waterways will be found to be
local in character, and others to be of
special concern to individual states.
For their development, undoubtedly
some plan Of cooperation will be ma
tured by which all interests, corpo-
rate, local, state and national, can CO.
operate to bring about the widest pos
sible benefits, local and general. In
such policy OF cooperation the state
of Illinois would be at the front.
Illinois proposes to take out of her
particular section of this water route
every feature which can be construed
as local or of special profit to the state
of Illinois and leave for federal consid-
GRAFTON only such features as are UNI
questionably of concern to every sec
ton alike. The result of this policy
will be that the contribution which
Illinois and various Illinois state agen-
cies can afford to make to the devel-
opment of waterway system on &C.
count of the special benefits and equi.
ties which she will secure will amount
to more than two-thirdk of the cost OF
the deep waterway between Lake
Michigan at Chicago and the Missis
4 sippi river at st. Louis. Could any one
ask more of Illinois and are other sec
lions prepared to do likewise?"
