THE ARKANSAS RIVER AZ
A IA VIGABLE STREAM.

A move is on foot to have
Congress make an appropria-
ton OF $4,000, 900 to be expend.
ed in an effort TO make the Ar
kansas river navigable, all the
year. If this is at all feasible
the appropriation would doubt
less be all right; but if it should
turn out that all this amount of
money was spent and no sub
stantial benefits derived it would
be little less than a public calam-
ity.
Oklahoma is the prime mover
in the matter, and at recent
meeting in Little Rock. partici-
pated in by the Oklahomians
and Arkansaians for the purpose
of boosting the scheme, Senator
]. P. Clarke, of Arkansas, who
was called on for a speech,
throwed cold water, as it were,
upon the proposition, as being,
in his opinion. chimerical and
foolish. He was literally
bounced upon by the deep river
enthusiasts from the two States.
and if the applause which
greeted these visionary fanat-
les could have deepened the riv-
er, ocean steamers would have
been majestically sailing up the
old Arkansas to Muscogee by
this time. But since high-sound
ing phrases and demonstrative
applause do not deepen river
channels, it might be we'll to
consider the sober conserva tism
of such men as Senator Clarke,
before too blindly and deeply
plunging into the pockets of
your Uncle Samuel, who un-
fortunately has no way OF get
ting money save to collect it from
his nephiews and neices, scattered
throughout his dominions. 1t
is one of the chief arguments of
the deeper river advocates that
the river, some forty of fifty
years ago, was navigable for
the greater portion of the year,
and because of this fact they in
sist that it can be made so
again. II the river was naviga-
BILE at that time, and we doubt
not that it was, why was it so?
No government aid was then
necessary. 1t was kept in this
condition by natural causes,
which since that time have been
destroyed by the progress of
civilization. The denuding of
the forests and the opening of
farms has made it easy for the
floods to rush to the river, car
rying with them the debris and
sands from the woods and
fields, until the river bed is Clog
