that such Il canal would be much
less expensive than the mainte-
nance of navigation upon the river
proper: once constructed, would
require very little for repairs, and
IN every respect would afford SUI
perlor facilities for commerce.. He
declares that the old river navlga-
ton died Il natural death because
the steamboat men did not keep up
with railroad methods in handling
freight; that new methods must be
devised by which boats will not tie
up at every dock until the cargo is
carried on i'm sacks and casks, but
that methods of loading and UNI
loading speedily must be DEVISED.
With such reforms and Il new wa
,crway. he believes river naviga
ton would again become one of
the important factors in western
commerce.

Qulnn's idea successfully carried
out to its utmost possibilities
would mean the making of our

Kansas City. Nov. 8.-The coming
cruise OF the United States battle-ship
fleet TO the Pacific Ocean has stimulated
recruiting in the navy 10 a greater ex-
tent than AT any time since the Spanish
war. recruiting officers say. The chance
10 steam around the world under the
flag is evidently just the thing lot Of
young men have been waiting for
While none Of the inland recruiting
Offices ever make the records of those on
the seaboard FOR enlistments. the inland
stations are showing the same relative
increase as those at the ports at this
time According TO Lieut. B. B. Bierer,
who has charge OF the station here. St
Louis is one Of the best Of the inland
station.
The location Of st. Louis is very fav-
Orable for recruiting. he said. but that
of Kansas City is almost as good As the
gateway between the East and the West
we take toll from the stream OF travel
going IN opposite directions as well as
from the residents.
Most of those enlisting at this time
ask to be assingend to the Pacific feet.
Mechanics who are 10 ship for the cruise
are sent TO San Francisco, where they
will have wait OF a couple Of months
before the fleet reaches there. Appren-
tices enlisting now win hardly complete
the stipulated period Of shore training in
time to join the feet for this particular
cruise.
But there is plenty OF room and plenty
Of time to rise IN all grades of the serv-
ice" said Lieut.. BiereT- The navy Is
never recruited up 10 it's full strength,
nor is it the policy Of the department to
have it so. Were every grade full there
would be no chance for promotion. As
IL is men are moving up all the time
