IMPORTANCE OF WATERWAY.
Continued from first page.)

(COnt1nued from nrSt page.J
the National government, as gov
ernor of New York he put through
the much distrusted scheme with
pick and shovel, and great tide
of commerce from the lake region
has poured through the Erie canal
ever since. This, with ca half
dozen railroads paralleliug it on
both sides. So indispensable has
it become. not only as carrier
but as a regulator of railroad rates,
that New York a few years ago
voted SOL, 900, 900 to build a new
and larger canal along the same
route.
Besides the Erie, the Illinois and
Michigan, connecting the lakes
and the Illinois river, the Delaware
and Hudson and several other ar
tifcial waterways are now in use.
Another pressing project is to con-
meet the great lakes with the Mis-
sissippi, if the opposition of the
Eastern transportation interests
can be overcome, for such a con-
nection would divert to the South
much of the commerce now going
toward New York. This is one of
the big fights to be pulled off when
the next river and harbor bill
comes up. but it is believed the
West will prevail.
A salient cause of the widespread
revival of interest in waterway i'm
provements is the situation of the
railways. While the United States
has the most highly developed
railroad systems in the world, as
we'll as the lowest rates, their in
crease of facilities has Jagged |
almost hopelessly in the rear of the
traffic.
No less an authority than James
!. Hill made the calculation not
ong ago that it would require
5000 miles more trackage, at a
cost of S., 500, 5000 to meet
ne present demands, and that this
anne result could be reached if one
fifth of the carrying power of the
were utilized.
1t is estimated that the products
# the interior have been doubled
n the last ten years, as against an
increased railroad capacity of only
2 1-2 per cent.
ATTITUDE OF RAILROADS.
From former attitude of op-
osition, the railroad interests are
ow waterways advocates, for they :
Understand very well that under
he greater development there will T
E greater prosperity and business
nough tor all. They know that c
ley will continue to get all of I
ertain kinds of freight requiring c
lpid transit, upon which the :.
reater profit is made, while the
eavier and less profitable freight -
i'll go by water.
In that respect the inland canal r
i'll be help instead of a destroyer
such railroads as the Southern y
acihc between here and New
rleans and the Yoakum road be-
Veen here and Brownsville.

a dispatch to the war office, an
nounces that he has given the Moroc-
can tribesmen another days armis-
tice to enable them to come to an
understanding among themselves. The
delegate from the chaioula tribe. who

Mulai Hafid that caused the French
government to push the campaign at

regarded here as meaning that the
war fever of the fanatics has cooled,
especially since the signal defeat Of
the hordes about Casa Blanca.
