the greatest stroke toward the settle
ment of railroad rate troubles In the
great Middle West.
Engineers reported that the Mis-
souri, River, II improved according to
the plans Of this convention, would
have the carrying capacity of 600 rail-
roads-ffty times the capacity Of all
the roads running between the Missls-
sippi River and tie lower Missouri.
and more than twenty-five times the
capacity of all the railroads running
from the Mississippi to the Missouri
at all points. These engineers reported
that making the Missouri River nav
igable from Sioux City to St. Louis
would cost less than paralleling any
single railroad between these two
points.
The navigable length of the Missouri
River Is greater than the distance by
rail from st. Louis to San Francisco.
It has, a navigable length three times
as great as the entire length Of the
Ohio River.
If Congress does not want this ap
preparation, the boosters Of the Middle
West may ask for legislation assessing
a tax against land lying within 10(
piles Of the Missouri River. 1t hal
been figured out that the entire $40,
