NEEDS GOVERNMENT AID
Lakes to Gulf Route Necessary to
Control Trade With West Coast
of South America.
JOHN BARRETT'S STATEMENT ON SUBJECT
Director of international Bureau of
American Republics Declares That
If Deep Waterway Is Not Provided
Other Nations Will Secure the Cow
eGed Trade.

Chicago, Sept. 10.-The great middle
west win control the trade of the en-
tir- west coast of South America
when the Panama canal is completed,
providing the deep waterways from
r. the lakes to the gulf is constructed.
Otherwise it will be Japan, Germany
and England which will exercise com
mercial sway over this vast empire
to be opened up"
This statement was made Sunday by
John Barrett, director of the Interna-
tional Bureau of American Republics,
who has been in Chicago for several
days comforting with men interested
in the deep waterway proposition. 1t
is his contention that the federal gov
eminent should lend all the aid neceS-
sary for the construction of this ship
canal to make the great advantages
OF the Panama canal available to the
Mississippi valley. Mr.. Barrett said:
1T is not excessive to estimate the
value of products which these repub-
lies will then be purchasing from for
eign countries at $500,00O,O0O.
THE major portion of these sup
plies will come from America if the
great manufacturing centers Of the
middle vest are provided with water
transportation. 1t requires no stretch
Of imagination to conceive boats or
barges loaded in Chicago, Joliet or
other points in this manufacturing dis
trict making the entire trip. America
has been slow to improve it's water
ways, much more so than any other
of the great powers, and it is time we
awoke to the advantages to be OBJ
taired"

Ths Forty-first National Encampment
Opens at Saratoga, N. ". Tuesday
Visited Grants TOMB.

New York, Sept. 10.-Many veterans
Of the war of the rebellion arrived in
this city Monday from points in the
south and west, on their way to Sara
toga, where they will attend the forty
first national encampmeut of the
Grand Army of the Republic, which
will open Tuesday. The delegates,
many of whom were accompanied by
wives and daughters, spent much of
the day in visiting Grants tomb, Gov
errors Island and other places of spe-
cial interest to old soldiers. They
made picturesque show as they
passed through the crowded city
streets, many of the veterans being
bedecked in a manner suggestive of
their appearance when they partici-
pated in the stirring events of 1861
1865. Perhaps the most striking eff
feet was that presented by the sur
vivors of the famous "Bucktails,' a
Pennsylvania regiment, who wore
black SLOUGH hats with bucktails
draped jauntily about the brim.
