rsrERsrArE WATERWAYS.
Several Hundred Delegates Gather |
 New Orleans.

SeVeFah AUm0reu Delegates OoNher In
 New Orleans.
 New Orleans. Dec. 4.-That an in- land waterway extending from the Mis- sIssippi River to the Rio Grande would not only benefit Louisiana and Texas, but the whole Mississippi Valley, was the sentiment of several hundred del- egates gathered here today at the fourth annual eonvntion of the In- terstate Waterways League.
 It was argued that with the lakes to the Gulf deep waterway project perfected, the completion of the Texas Louisiana waterway would permit large ship to be loaded at Chicago. St. Louis Memphis, New orleans or Gall weston. and unloaded in Mexico with out even being subjected to the dam gers of the high seas.
 The support of Texas and Louisiana in carrying the scheme was pledged at today's session when several ad- dresses were delivered by prominent men of Galveston. Houston, New Or. leans and other Texas and Louisiana cities. Lieut.. Gov. O. B. Davidson of Texas said 1t was estimated that the work would cost $4O00,000. He said the large portion of the country which would be benefited should insure the success of the scheme.
