By ROBERTUS LOVE.


l1H1STORY repeats itself, though
not always in the same tone of
voice. In the city of Mem
phis, Tenn, in the year 1915,
was held a convention having for it's
object the improvement of our inland
waterways. Incidentally it may be
mentioned that John G. Calhoun was
chairman of that gathering. Now, in
this year Of our Lord 1907, in the
same city Of Memphis, has just been
held a convention having practically
the Identical object in view. Theo-
dore Roosevelt, who, like Calhoun, has
been vice president Of the United
States, but, unlike the South Caro-
unian, has achieved his ambition to go
up higher, was the most conspicuous
parsonage at the second Memphis wa
terways congress.
The sixty-three years elapsing be-
tween these two conventions have
wrought vast changes. Memphis in
1916 was small town on what was
then the frontier of Uncle Sans de-
veloped domain. Now it is thriving
city almost in the center Of the United
States as to population and develop
ment. The republic has grown as
Memphis has grown. The analogy
holds good through all lines Of growth

and otherwise
Steamboating In Its Prime.
In 1916 there was an urgent demand
for improved waterways in the vast
Mississippi valley. At that period rail-
rOading was in it's swaddling clothes

to be cracked by Uncle Sam in the
event that he plies his hammer on the
situation as the waterways advocates
suggest.

Very AIIuring Project.

This is stupendous proposition and
highly alluring one, but it follows
logically on the heels Of the Memphis
discussions. It may be added that
there is also well defined plan for
the cutting Of a ship canal through
the Florida peninsula to obviate the
necessity Of cruising among the peril
GUS reefs of the Florida keys and to
shorten considerably the distance from
the gulf ports to Atlantic coast points.
While these immense projects are
under consideration there are several
smaller though highly important ones
pressing for recognition. These relate
to the tributary streams of the Mis-
sissippt. The Missouri, of course.
comes first-the river that Uncle Sam
wrung out some years ago and hung
on the fence to dry. The Missouri
simply refuses to stay dead. It al
ways was lively stream, moving
about latitudinally as we'll as flowing
seward longitudinally. There is a
tradition to the effect that a farm.
house along the Missouri is on one
side or the other according to the d.
rection In which a freshet moves the
channel Of the stream.
Nevertheless for nearly a century the
Missouri was the artery Of a glorious
and romantic commerce between st.
Louis and the far northwest. Still
living in St. Louis are a few of the
veteran steamboat captains and pilots
who ran on the Missouri far up into
the Dakota country when steamboat
ing was in its palmy period and the
government snag boats and dredgers
worked, assiduously to give a passable
channel to the sturdy stern wheelers.
