MAJOR DABNEY ON
DEEP WATERWAYS
Governments Policy of Internal
Improvement
PLEA FOR THE MISSISSIPPI
Opening of the Great River Basin
From Lakes to Gulf Is Natural
Sequence to the Building
of the Panama Canal.
PLEA FOR THE MISSISSIPPI

Rosedale, Miss, September 27-(Spe-
cial.)-Maj. T. G. Dabney, an authority on
improvement of the river and levees, says
of the deep waterways convention at Chi
eago in an interview given out today:
1.-THE policy heretofore pursued by our
federal government toward its works of
internal improvement has differed essen
TALLY from those policies which have been
followed by all the European nations in
similar fields of national activity The
difference referred to consists in the fact
that all provision made by our national
Congress for the Improvement of our in
terror waterways have taken on politi-
cal aspect, and the periodical distribution
of funds for these purposes has been
made rather with reference to political
exigencies than to the requirements of
the various projects of public work on
their respective merits.
1.-THE customary course pursued by the
principal European nations, when any
national work is proposed to be done. is
first to have the projected work examined
on its merits, in which an estimate of
cost is made and of the resultant benefits
to be anticipated from its accomplishment.
These Considerations having been duly
weighed the project is either rejected or
adopted by the government, and in the
latter event certain provision is made for
carrying forward the work to completion
as early as practicable; very much in
fact as we have managed the Panama
canal project.
LAS result of such national treatment
of their public works other nations have
accomplished many enterprises of great
magnitude and values resulting in vast
national benefits.
In contrast to such common sense
methods we have seen our Congress from
year to year making wide distributions
in thinly spread out applications of the
national funds, in very inadequate
amounts for the most part over multi
tude of fragmentary projects, with little
discrimination as to their relative i'm
portance, regard being had rather to the
satisfying of momentary political de-
mands than to the accomplishment of re-
suits that may be of value to the ma
ton.
LAS a consequence of such methods,
which have grown up with our govern
mental development and become part and
comparatively meagre returns for the vast
amount of money in the aggregate that
has been expended.

GASES FROM SEWERS.

Bessemer, September 27.-(Special.)-
Bessemer society lost two of it's most
popular young people this afternoon
when Miss Bessie Mae Brown was mar
ried to Mr.. L. Austin. The wedding
took place at the home of Mr.. T. Y.
Huffman, on Arlington avenue and
Twentieth street at p. M, Rev. w. E.
Morris officiating. Miss Brown is the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. w. d. Brown,
has always been considered one of the
most beautiful young women in Bes-
semer, and her charming disposition
won for her the admiration of all with
whom she came in contract.
Mr.. Austin, Familiarity known as
Buck" is one of the best known young
men in this entire district, having been
reared in Bessemer, and wherever he
meets a man he then and there makes
a friend.
For the past three years he has been
cashier at the Alabama Great Southern
freight depot, having resigned only
few days ago to accept position with
the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad
company in clerical capacity at their
Sumpter mines.
dinner was given in their honor at
the home of Mr.. Austins parents on
Exeter avenue tonight, where the tables
fairly groaned with good things to eat.
The happy couple will leave tomorrow
morning for Sumpter, where they will
in future reside, taking with tn EN- the
best wishes of a host of friends.

Odors From Sewers.

Prominent citizens are making siren
nous kicks against the foul odors that
arise from the mouth of the storm
sewers at the corner of Nineteenth street
and Second avenue. J. +. Cannon,
manager of the Bcssemer Water Works
company; r. ]. Miller, resident manager
of the Singer Sewing Machine company;
Q. w. VIM, the plumber; H. P. Burk-
hardt, master mechanic at the Birming-
ham Southern, and many other citizens
voiced their sentiments tonight very
freely with reference to danger of al
lowing such conditions to exist in the
heart of the city, as the health of hun
dreds of people Is very liable to be-
come impaired by inhaling the pois-
onous gases. The city council, how
ever, has had the matter up, and the
sanitary committee recommended that
certain soda fountain connections made
with the storm sewers be changed to
the sanitory sewers and just as soon
as this is done 1t Is believed the the
trouble will be entirely remedied.

eminent; Is there no enterprise OF such
high national Importance that exception
ought to be made and differentiation
In its treatment from that accorded to
works of less national import?
During the past two three years
there has been an apparent awakening
of the national consciousness to real
ization of the necessity of breaking away
from the old traditional methods, at least
as the national interests relate to the
great Mississippi valley problem.
by the efforts Of a few earnest and
level-headed congressman, encouraged, If
not inspired by President Roosevelt, ma
tional attention has become focused upon
this work of national scope and national
magnitude in its wide inducements and
implications, the perfecting of which shall
bring greater benefits to greater interests
a greater number of American citizens,
and the greatest extent of national ter
ritory that could result from any other
enterprise of internal Improvement that
the United States can embark upon.
Under the influences above referred to-
the exploitation of a deep navigable wa
terway between the great lakes and the
Gulf of Mexico has become the object of
national attention.

"Such channel of navigation, travers-
ing our continental domain from north to
south from boundary line to boundary
line, through the greatest continental
valley that exists in the world. must
come as a logical sequence of the Panama
canal, and has been felicitously charac-
terized by President Roosevelt as a con-
tinuation or extension of that epoch-mak-
ing enterprise. through the heart of our
national territory.
I'm order to bring to fruition such an
undertaking as this under our populs<ly
governed system of law-making 1t is
necessary to erystalize a large mass of
public sentiment in the desired direc-
ton, as popular sentiment Is the MAIN
spring of our governmental activities
THE genesis of a popular sentiment to-
ward this important movement first found
expression in the deep waterways con-
vention held in st. Louis in November
1906. The wide interest felt in the move
ment was evidenced by the attendance
there of representatives from all parts of
the Mississippi valley drainage system.
and by the earnest expression of purpose
and aspiration that eminated from the
deliberations of that body There the
ball was set in motion with a great i'm
petus and it is needful that this impetus
be augmented by additional demonstra-
lions of a widely extended sympathy with
the ODJectS aimed TO De acnfeVed.
ut is highly important then that all
of the wide territory. and all of the va
ried interests that are to be affected by
the accomplishment of this undertaking,
shall send numerous able and influential
representatives to the deep waterways
convention to assemble In Chicago on Oc-
tober Z, and 3, to give expression to the
demands of this great interior domain of
the United States, reaching from the great
lakes TO the gulf, and from the ALLIE
ghenies to the Rocky mountains in such
sort that the volume of its voice shall
ring In the ears of the Congress with
tone.
1T should be borne in mind that the
demand to be made upon the Congress in
this behalf is of an extraordinary char
acter, marking departure from the ira
ditional method of dealing with water

Lawson, and stated that he was

White Lake Wave: Senator Kit
tredge told the people of Plankin
ton upon the occasion of his recent
visit there that it would take any
way two years longer to build a
lock than sea-level canal. This
is the reverse of the understanding
that most people have of the mat
ter.
The facts are coming to light
that "the understanding that most
people have" is open to revision.
The Washington Post recently says
cat the rate of progress made dur
ing October fifty-three months or
four years and five months would
be required to complete the exca-
vation, and were it not for Colonel
Goethal's timely warning that the
construction of the massive locks
rather than the excavation of the
canal prism will, from now on,
control the date of completion, We
might look for the opening of the
canal at no later date than the
summer of 1912"
