twenty days. 1t is now recognized thar
caving banks must be fixed in the IN
terest of levee maintenance to insurc
the development of the enormous
wealth in alluvial land; and a better
channel will work out under fixed
banks.
Certain abnormal Developments in
low water slopes as compared to high
water are recognized, as in the New
Madrid, Plumb Point and Lake Provi-
dence, and it is assumed that these
may be corrected without disturbing
the regimen of the river as a whole.
What effect will fellow such correc-
tive measures can not be stated. but
it is assumed that the depth will be
sufficient if aided by hydraulic dredg-
ing in extreme cases, to give such
scale of navigation as may be desired
until the state of the engineering art
shall offer something better. In any
event, the proposed treatment is a
condition precedent to whatever shall
follow
What may be done on the middle
Mississippi is the criterion for the en-
tire route The existing project is to
secure a minimum depth of eight feet
by moderate regulation. When the
Joliet level and the Chicago harbor
shall be properly worked out, the
Chicago canal can be readily enlarged
to three times the present capacity,
The low water volume in the middle
Mississippi can thus be doubled and
the corresponding minimum depth will
be sixteen feet and 1928 feet at mid
stage.
If a depth of "a feet throughout the
year be possible to the Iower MisSiS-
sippi, or if it shall become possible
with the growth of engineering art,
then there is justification for making
the rock cuts and permanent work on
the northern section to that limit in
order that no barriers shall be con-
structed to arrest future development
If "a feet at nid-range is produced in
the lower Mississippi with something
more for half the year, and something
between that and the minimum for the
other half, a commensurate waterway
demands "a feet in rock cut and per-
manent works on the northern section
of the route.
We are not to measure the future by
the present state of the engineering art
are to think of the lake and gulf water
way as the most difficult half of a
base line fo~ a continental waterway
system. We are to think of it further
as an extension of the seaboard in fact,
throuhg our richest domain and into the
great lakes, and if we now restrict our
efforts to some lesser development, but
policy and our design should compre-
hend the ultimate end.
We can net properly develop the in
terror with our present continental rail-
way haulS, nor can we be on a parity
with our seacoast and with foreign
lands in the worlds competition under
conditions.
We can not go to the sea. but we can
bring the sea into our midst. and give
economic independence to the largest
and richest area with which mankind
has been endowed, and the race should
benefit accordingly.

Head of Photographers Union Inti-
mates That Strike Is Lost.

Chicago, Oct. 4.-President S. J..
Small of the Commercial Teleg-
raphers' union yesterday afternoon
for the first time instilled doubt and
striking telegraphers after four weeks
of confident assurances of the success
full issue of the strike. President
Small spoke before the strikers at the
daily meeting in Uhlich's hall and the
general tone of his remarks was de-
cidedly doubtful and pessinistic.
The change in the minds of the
strikers was evident from their ac-
ceptance of the arbitration solution,
which was repudiated utterly in the
early days of the strike. President
Small said yesterday that in arbitra-
ton lay the only solution, although he
would not openly admit that he had
lost all hope of a compromise with
the companies.
From the fact that he declared that
another strike was inevitable under
present conditions and counseled the
strikers to prepare for another fight
within a year unless the companies
met their demands it was interpreted
that he had lost hope of a successful
termination of the present fight.
Expects End in Ten Days.
81 am not in a position to tell you all
1 think 1 know" he said. II honestly
believe the strike will be settled within
ten days. But after strike of two
months we must not be too sure We
are going to get all We ask for. and at
present we can't be sure of getting any,
thing. The companies have fought
hard, and are not liable to capitulate.
But if we don't get all we ask for
this time, we do not need to feel that
we have lost everything for all time. A
year from now we will be ready to fight
again, and while you are waiting for a
of this fight prepare your
minds for another fight. Let us go the
one better. let us announce
another strike within IL months unless
they meet us in our just demands.
I'VE should demand arbitration by
outside parties, though 1 am inclined to
think that the companies will settle
with us directly They dare not lay
open to an investigation of
their business methods"

REVERSE MAHoMEr IDEA
If We Can't Go to the Sea Will Bring
the Sea to Us.

Memphis, Oct. 4.-Lyman E. Cooley
of Chicago at the meeting of the
Lakes-to-the-Gulf Deep Waterway
association spoke in part as follows:
The lakes and gulf waterway is to
extend the seaboard through the core
of the continent. north across twenty
parallels of latitude. from the tropical
border TO the Canadian shores of Lake
Superior. 1t is a part of a trunk route
thirty-three hundred miles long via
the great lakes, from the Gulf of Mex
leo to the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
The engineering and financial re-
sources are adequate to such an under
taking.
The feasibility of any desired depth
between Lake Michigan and the Mis-
sissippi river at st. Louis is no longer
a matter of dispute.
1t is now conceded that the measur
of the route as whole turns on what
it is feasible to do with the middle
Mississippi between ST. Louis and
Cairo.
The gulf level reaches inland three
hundred miles, and carries deep water
practically to the mouth of the Red
river. so that the lower Mississippi for
purposes of Improvement reduces to
the seven hundred and sixty-four miles
between Cairo and the Red river.
The low water season with depths
of less than twelve to fourteen fee,
averages about one hundred and

THAT @. R. 7. GRIEVANCE
National President Is in Denver TO
Talk 1t Over.

Denver, Oct. Al. B. Perham, ma
tional president of the Order of Rail-
way Telegraphers. arrived in Denver
yesterday to take personal charge of
the grievance of the telegraph opera
tors against the Denver & Rio Grande
railroad, acting as adviser to the COM
mittee composed of the chairmen Of
grievance committees on the roads
west of the Missouri river who have
been called together to consider the
situation.
Reinstatement of R. H. Skeggs,
discharged because of his refusal 10
test Western Union wires at Grand
Junction. has been demanded by the
telegraphers and has been fatty re-
fused by the Denver & Rio Grands
officials.
We have not come to talk strike bu,
to present reasonable demand in p
gentlemanly way said President Per-
ham today.

TALK OVER new RATES.
Salina Wholesalers Not Entirely Salts
fed With Freight Schedules.

D. w. Cowden, vice president of the
H. d. Lee Mercantile company of Sa-
lima. and Traffic Manager Gray OF the
same company. were in conference
with Secretary Sinner and some of the
railroad commissioners Thursday con-
cerning the proposed new schedule OF
freight rates which the board will
soon put into effect.
The Salina men were not entirely
satisfied with some of the reductions
nroposed by the board. They held thar
thev should be given the same ad-
vantage over Missouri river points
that Missouri river points have owe,
Mississippi river points. The board
will take the suggestions of the Salina
men under consideration.

SALT GOES UP.
The Trust and the independents Have
Got Together.

New York, Oct. A tacit under
standing has been reached between
the International Salt company, known
as the salt trust, and certain independ-
ent manufacturers in regard to regu-
lating the future course of the market
for evaporated salt according to state
ments made in well informed quarters.
said the Journal of Commerce today.
This action was taken, it is said. in
consequence of the higher cost OF
labor and supplies, as well as because
of the overproduction of salt.
AS a result of the understanding
prices have recently been advanced so
cents to 81 per ton from the low fig
ures prevailing a month ago. when
sharp price cutting was in progress.
Incidentally a policy of retrench-
ment has been inaugurated ana vari
Gus firms have reduced their working

PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT.
One Is Advocated by CHAIRMAN OF
Lakes to Gulf Convention.

Memphis, Oct. An opening the
Lakes to the Gulf deep waterway con-
vention the chairman, Mr.. w. K.
Kavanaugh, said:
.Water transportation has always
been an infallible auxiliary TO rail. and
it is now indeed proper that the inn
provement of our national resources
should begin. for if the railroads can
barely handle the traffic of today, what
may be expected in ten years, when
this traffic, if not stopped in it's de-
velopment, will easily double the traffic
of today. Railroads are not anragon-
istic to the development OF the coun-
try's resources.
THE conditions of great delay in
movement of commerce of the country
has affected all sections. north, east,
south and west. We therefore do no.
have to point to our motto that river
regulation is rate regulation and the
many economical arguments that could
be set forth for the reason that it ap-
pears that we have almost reached the
limit of the railroad capacity of today,
and it is fairly evident that the growth
of the country can not be taken care
of by them. A great awakening there's
country and while we formerly re-
quested assistance of the powers at
Washington, requested assistance in
the development of our great naturai
resources and of our inland water>
ways, the people now have come to
demand in no uncertain terms that
these improvements be made at once.
by turning toward the gulf the
flood of export grain and other bulky
articles, the lakes-to-the-guIr deep
waterway would relieve eastern ter
minals of oppressive traffic and enable
them to handle their shipments with
reasonable dispatch and economy ana
another essential point to be consider
ed is that every dollar saved in the
transportation cost is added wealth
directly to the people.
1.-The question is, shall we go on
paying double and treble rates on our
materials? Let us unite in our de-
mand and ask that the officials or this
government no longer delay the great
projects which are so dear to the
hearts of the people of the central
west. and if it is necessary let us make
a national issue, for 1 believe for one,
that the day soon will come when no
man can be elected president who does
not favor a broad national policy re-
garding the deepening of our harbors
and the Improvement of our internar
waterways. Why should there not be
a department of public works, having
jurisdiction over all the great projects
which are and must of necessity be
fostered by this government? p"
