In a recent article on the freight
carried on inland waterways, the
transportation facilities are alarm
ingly inadequate so far as the rail
ways were equipped in milage, cars
and motive power. The expression
was none too strong. 1t has been
appreciated for years and the singu-
lar feature of the question is that
the great railway managers, while
last to admit the fact, are now fore
most IN their concession that while
railway facilities are being increased,
the volume Of trade and commerce Is
annually increasing at rate with
which they cannot hope to keep pace.
1t is a fact that needs no demonstra-
ton; neither does it need demonstra-
ton that without means of transpOr-
tation to market, no article is Of
the slightest value. no matter what
amount of expenditure has been en-
ployed in its production. The rail-
way men, no less than the manufac-
lures and the merchant, the farmer
and the miner, are agreed that the
relief can only be found in the ade-
quate improvement of the natural
highways of the country, such as the
Ohio River is affording a continuous,
broad, a cheap, safe and a switch
less road for traffic, not confined be-
tween narrow rails, but upon which
magnificent fleets may pass without
necessity for side tracking and on
which there would be no blocks to be
cleared for the passage OF another
feet. That would be the Ohio river

improved to its nine foot stage and
of the lucrative necessity for the
fact that the tonnage of one of its
cities, Pittsburg, exceeded 120, 900,
900 tons in 1906 is ample to estab-
lish There is not a community on
the banks of the Ohio which does
not know and appreciate the strangle
hold which inadequate facilities for
transportation has upon its trade and
commerce. Nor is there a community
that does not know that with ad-
equate facilities, such as would be
furnished by the nine foot stage in
the Ohio, the tonnage of Pittsburg,
enormous though it is, would be
greatly increased. So would the
tonnage of every community in the
Ohio Valley be increased over its
present proportions. Facilities for
transportation mean increase in
business as certainly as inadequate
facilities, such as exist today, mean
periods of stagnation where there
should be one constant period of
business and industrial activity.
The Ohio Valley owes it to the whole
country, no less than Its own enter
prises, to march steadily and in
unity to the accomplishment of the
nine foot stage from Pittsburg to
Cairo.

ANXIOUS TO SAVE VALLEY
Commissioners Working to Make
Park Along Rock Greek.
PetwOrth Association Assured Prof.
ect VIII De Carried Ont when
Congress Provides the Money.

lu reply To- request for am opinion on
the subject Of tae preservation OF Rock
Greek Valley as a public park. Commis-
sioner mcfarland yesterday addressed 10
d. J. Particle. secretary Of the Petworth
Citizens Association, communication
in which he states that this is one OF
the. objects for which he has been work
ing ever since he came into office.
THE Commissioners" said Mr.. Mac
farlaud, found that this proposition
would have TO wait until others which
had been authorized by Congress as of
more pressing necessity. like the ultra
tiou plant sewage disposal system. rail
way-tg-miuaI work. ana the District
government building, should be com
pIeted. OF well advanced toward compile
ton. But the last Congress granted The
request OF the Commissioners that they
should be given an appropriation Of
5000 with which TO collect data ueces-
sary 20 submit to Congress a definite
recommendation as 20 the best method OF
preserving the Rock Greek Valley as q
public park.
AS you are aware. TWO plans for that
purpose have been under consideration
for more than ten years past. They were
discussed in the Senate Park Commission
report. which expressed preference for
one over the other. The Commissioners
have repeatedly consulted representative
members OF the Senate Park Commission
respecting the matter. and. when the
present work Of collecting the necessary
data lwork not heretofore done bv any
one) is completed, they will have a final
consultation with the representatives OF
the Senate Park Commission before
forming their own conclusions.
The question has not been at any time
as 20 whether tine Rock Creek Valley
should be preserved as a public mark.
but what method of treatment should be
used for that purpose The Commission
crs hope 10 make q recommendation to
Congress after considering the matter in
the light Of all the information and ex-
pert advice they can procure that will of
itself be SO convincing as TO insure its
adoption by Congress and early action
