most fertile material of the fields and

izing our inland waterways should
consider floods and their control bN
forests and other means, the pgotec-

other WAYS of purifying them; the
construction Of dams and locks not

control the character of the waters;

control Of our running waters and
the complete naturalization of our
waterways for the benefit of our peo-
pie as a whole.
"It is not possible properly to frame
so large a plan as this for the con-

should be considered in the light of
