The New Orleans Picayune re-
Gently gave expression to its aston
lshment that the Mississippi cline
on each bank with wealthy States
and populous and prosperous cities
should be so destitute of water craft
of any sort. 1t is drawback to the
trade and commerce that the fact
should be as the Picayune records
but what of the Ohio? Wealthy
though the Mississippi River States
may be, the Ohio River States sur
pass them with wealth so marvellous
that the amount required to accom-
plish the Nine Foot Stage sinks into
comparative lnsignifcance.
The Statistical Abstracts Of the
United States for 1905--issued by
the Department of Commerce and
Labor-gives these figures of the
wealth of the Six Ohio River States:

bears to the total wealth of the forty
FIVE States and three territories will
be appreciated from the fact that the
total wealth of the United States is

one-third, with thirty-niDe States

approximately two-thlrds.

lucky and Illinois to demand the
improvement of the Ohio--to the
Nine Foot Stage-is to demand that
which is reasonable but imperative
at one and the same time. They are
entitled to the cheapest possible
method of transportation to a market
and the amount required to give
them the facilities to which they are
entitled is insignificant when weighed
in the balance with their products.
Unity of action In the Ohio Valley
will bring about the Nine Foot
Stage and the Nine Foot Stage will
be the greatest possible factor in ad-
vancing the deservedly commanding
position of the Ohio Valley as the
richest Valley in the world, notwith-
standing its present lack of trans
portatIon facilities. With those fac
ilities supplied by the improved OHIO,
the development and wealth of the
Six Ohio River States would double
within a quarter of century.
