RED RIVER NAVIGATION
Three Steamboats, Projected Under a
Chartered Company.

An interesting meeting of business men
was held today at noon in the Board OF
Trade room. 1t was called 10 order by
Mr.. John jenkins, president of the
Board of Trade. Mr. Ben Holman was
called to preside. A forceful and clear
explanation of the project in view was
presented by Captain Charles w Drown
an experienced and veteran steamboat
man of New Orleans. He was followed
by Mr. S. B. Hicks, Mr.. A. J. Ingersoll,
Mr.. Ards, Mr.. w. E. Glassell, Mr.. 7.
C. Barret and others.
The proposition as presented was re
ceived with marked approval. In sub
stance it is proposed to organize COM
pany capitalized at $4,000 in shares Of
$Ioo, which are to be distributed in
Shreveport, New Orleans, in Alexandra
and along the river amongst the planters
and business men and steamboatmen.
The directory is to be of five, one from
Shreveport, one from Alexandria, one
from New Orleans, one from the steam
boatmen and one from the planters re
siding on the Red river.
1t is proposed to have built three
steamboats,, two of which will operate
between Shreveport and New Orleans
and one between Shreveport and the
upper Red river points.
The proposition should and doubtless
ly will be carried into execution. The
advantages of river navigation can not
be over-estimated. At our doors is one
of the greatest of natural advantages,
offering the lowest rates of freights for
much of the products of commerce and
of enterprises essential to the best in
terests of the people of this section. The
government has become concerned in the
improvement of navigable streams. In
the year 1906 it was demonstrated that
the facilities by railways were made
quate to handle expeditiously and salts
factorily the products of the country.
Relief is necessary, and lii the navigation
of rivers is offered advantages which
should be seized and held with a firm
grip. In the North and Northwest the
watercourses, notwithstanding the rail-
road trackage which covers the States
as a network, are being improved. Much
of the trade diverted from Shreveport
can be regained with the assistance of
steamboats,. The navigation of Red
river means millions of dollars to

tunities in the growing South now open
to ambitious and enterprlslng young peo-
pie that there is no necessity for them
to apply to the government for positions
The industrial, commercial and educa-
tional progress now apparent all over
this section furnish a live demand for
the BRAIN the activities and the enter
prise of every bright young man and
woman that the South will be able to
supply for years to come. Let our young
people give what they have of these to
the upbuilding of their State along these
lines, and our word for it, the returns
will be far more profitable and satisfying.
If President Roosevelt's purpose be
to crush the spirit of the Southern ap-
plicants for departmental positions by
coercing them into acceptance of his
views on the negro question, let our
young women and men decline to enter
the service. If his desire be to African
ize the departments and to force social
equality there, let him understand plain
ly that he must do it upon his own re-
sponsibility among his own class and
kind, and without cooperation or en-
dorsement from the South
Government clerkships at best offer
but scant inducements to the young per-
son of intelligence and good parts, and
if they must be sought for at such a
price, the best thing our young people
can do is to steer clear of them. Let
the President proceed with his African
ization of the departments if he wishes;
but as for the South it will have neither
part nor lot in the disgraceful business.
