Th" Republican party recognizes that

to that end n Republican Congress has

Our Local Waterway Association.

The following clipping from the
Apalachicola Times gives the officers
&C., of a subsidiary Association that
was formed at Columbus which is of
far greater Importance to Lower
Georgia, Alabama, and West Florida
than the Mississippi to Atlantic Water
way.
1t is the initiative of possible and
much needed project. It's cost is
that insignificant that the objection
already raised by prominent Repub-
lican papers in the north to the Ship
Canal scheme would not apply to it.
1t would give at very small outlay
a deep water port in st Andrews Bay
that would accommodate the COM
merce of this vast territory, and save,
as stated by the engineers something
over half a million dollars each year
in freights alone to the territory re-
ferred to.
"a fact of great Importance escaped
publication owing to the press of other
matters during the Columbus Con-
vention of the Mississippi to Atlantic

The Waterway Question.

given up to the subject of improve
ment of our waterways. AS this is
the paramount question before the
people of this section of the South at
the present time no apology is offered
for giving it so much of our space to
the exclusion of all other matters.
Since the late convention at Col
umbus more attention has been given
the proposition by the people of South
east Alabama and Southwest Georgia.
1t is stated by prominent govern
ment engineer that connecting the
Apalachicola river with st Andrews
Bay, and deepening the entrance of
the harbor here, means saving of
over s5O0,O00 year in transportation
to the above named territory.
These are facts, and they should
cause every man interested in the
prosperity and upbuilding of that
territory to take an active interest in
the work. To enrich the population
of the district referred to by half a
million a year, and by an increasing
amount with the growth of the coun-
try, is assuredly worth the best efforts
of each and every one living therein.
From Columbus and. Albany, Ga,
and Mariana, Fla, to the nearest
point at which a connection can be
built to permit the commerce of the
Chattahoochee, Flint, Apalachicola
and Chipola rivers to reach this deep
water harbor, every property owner,
each man engaged in business, is vi
tally interested in quickly securing
this enormous saving.
And the time is now propitious for
action. To connect the waters of
the Apalachicola with ST Andrews
Bay, at the most available point, will
cost but very small sum. The PILOT
does not approve of the plan to move
all this immense commerce down the
river to the entrance of Lake Wimico,
and thence back to st Andrews Bay,
when something like 100 miles in dis
tance can be saved by taking a short
cut from the Dead Lakes to Wetappo
creek, and a direct route thereby be
secured.
1t costs money to transport freight,
and economy dictates that the short
est and most easily operated route be
taken. 1t is not desirable to stem
the swift current of the Apalachicola
river for 40 miles when it can be
avoided.
Let the Commercial bodies and
business men of the up river towns
investigate this subject. The Com
mercial Club of this bay have invited
them to send delegates here to do so.
st Andrews Bay seeks the fullest in
vestigation of its claims. No one
has examined into them without
being convinced that the half had
not been told of its advantages and
value as harbor.
Representatives of every city in the
territory tributary to the above
named rivers should at once visit this
bay. No time should be lost in
acting upon this important subject.
There is no doubt as to the Govern
ment improving the entrance to this
harbor. There is no question as to

Very few of the inhabitants of this division came to Alaska with the idea of acquiring public office. Compara lively few who are competent to per form the dnties of public office would care to undertake them; at least they would not care to the extent of seeking office. In general, the best men here as elsewhere, adhere to the highest ideal of patriotism, which is to serve when called upon, but to let the office seek the man. The Alaskan is not by inclination or selection an othce-seek- CT. Nevertheless, when the district judge announces as bis future policy that he will restrict appointments within his gift to Alaskans, the an nouncement creats general feeling of satisfaction. It is ignorance to main tain that one corner of the United States possesses more virtue than an- other, and it would be folly to limit choice to local boundaries if more com petent material could be imported {; and in appointments to positions of a judicial nature it is frequently better to import, for the sake of keeping an office free from the suspicion of local political bias. Nevertheless, the local man has the advantage of having made history with his people and of under standing them more sympathetically and more quickly. Therefore the cry Alaska for Alaskans," has foundation in reason as we'll as in sentiment Fairbanks Times.
