NEW ORLEANS WAKE
BUSINESS MEN ARE ADvERTIsING
 THE CITY.
Its Great Possibilities are to Be Sent to the Whole World---Many skyserapers Mark
 Progress

The men of New Orleans have caught the spirit of broader endeavor, and the display advertisement printed else- where In this issue is an initial evil dence of the fact.
 New Orleans Is the metropolis of the south. the gateway to the Panama Ca- nal. and the seaport of the Mississippi Valley. It Is meet. therefore, that the business men of that city should take a leading part in the program of development, expansion and prep | aration for the great impetus to trade and commerce that has come with the awakening of the South and that will come with the opening of the Pan- l anna Canal.
 In anticipation of bigger things. New Orleans has spent many millions of dollars in installing the most modern and complete municipally-owned sew craze, draining and pure water system on the American continent, in con- structing publicly owned freight
 wharves and monster steel freight
 sheds, in building a municipality owned belt railroad for the expeditions and inexpensive handling of domestic and foreign freight. in paving and light ing her streets and in other ways im- proving the facilities and opportunities | enjoyed by her business men and in defending and upbuilding her claim to the title. The Winter Capital of America"
 Within the past two or three years
 many modern skyscrapers have re- ] placed old buildings there. while mod.
 ern hotels. theatres and public build- | ings in numbers have gone up.
 A decade ago architects held to the idea that foundations could not be | laid in New Orleans strong enough to | hold a building higher than six or seven stories. Since then tests have
 shown a strata of rock. hard clay and | sand twenty or twenty i've feet below
 the surface. and now New Orleans boasts tall buildings with two or three
 cellars under the ground just as oth Ter | cities do, while the new drainage sys- l tenn has already removed the moisture
 from the soil. with the result that one
 now must dig just as deeply at New | Orleans before striking water as al | other cities.
 The harbor of New Orleans Is one of
 the greatest in the world. and is large enough to contain all the ships in the world without oVer-crowding. Int
 Government has recently opened a
 forty-foot channel through the passes
 to the Gulf. thus accommodating the
 deepest draft vessels afioat.

From New Orleans to Mobile there IS already continuous inland water communication. the Mississippi sound rating as inland water" and being connected with New Orleans by two artrain. from which three fine com mercial canals. or basins" lead Into the heart of New Orleans. and Lake Borgne and the Lake Borgne canal, s,saInn, s,DnnIse,ting Lake Borgnne with the Ms. Ms. forty mile below New Orleans.
 Other agencies, therefore, have al- ready reduced the field of necessary work by the Gulf Coast Inland Water way Association to the stretch be- tween Mobile and Apalachicola via Pensacola and Santa Rosa Sound.
 Jacksonville and the East Florida interests will undoubtedly be able to take good care of that section of the proposed work affecting the peninsula as a special locality.
 West Florida and Alabama are es- pecially interested in the project as 1t affects the Perdido country, between Mobile and Pensacola bays. and the territory east Of Pensacola as far as Apaiacflicoia. And this Is the part of the project which is the simplest problem. whether viewed from the standpoint of money or engineering
 Very little dredging would give an s-foot channel from the waters of Mobile bay through Bon Seeour bay. Thence. an Smile canal would be necessary to connect Bon Secour bay, by inland water through south Bald win country, with from to IS feet natural depth in Wolf bay. 10 to 21 feet natural depth in Bay La Launch, and to Is feet natural depth in Per- dido bay. Then. two small shallows might have to be removed. and about half a mile of channel deepening on a straight line and one mile canal would connectt Psrdido bay by a nIni- mum depth of 8 feet with the natural depth of from 8 to 23 feet in Grand Lagoon. At the eastern end of Grand Lagoon, one mile of channeling would complete the inland watercourse from Mobile to Pensacola bays more than

GIRL SAVES RICH MAN.
signor BOrsani Was Sailing When Boat
 CapsfHed.

Naples. Aug 29.-Margherita Ferra- ri an Is-year-old village girl. a few days ago saved the life of Signor Bor- sani. man of considerable wealth. who was sailing in a small boat at Porto Ceresfo, on the Adriatic coast.
 A storm arose and before Signor Bor- sani could return to port his boat was capsized There were a number of spectators ashore, but they were de- batting whether 1t was safe to go out in so rough a sea when Matgherita Ferrari arrived on the scene.
 Without hesitation she sprang into a boat and rowed out to Slgnor Bor- sani, just in time to save his fife When she returned ashore with him she swooned and 1t was several hours be- fore she reRained consciousness.
 Signor Borsani has made her happy by promising her a handsome dowry, which will enable her to be married at once.

 Tokio. Aug. 2s.-The governments financial policy decided on by the cab met yesterday involves the curtailment of expenditures by s1oe.ooo.eoo of which eight per cent will be taken from the army and ten per cent from that of the navy.
 The postponement of the interna- tional exposition is not purely due to financial reasons. but Is owing to the fact that the work of preparation has been insufficient and it will be quite impossible to make suitable exposition within three years on an appropriation of s6, GOO, 900, therefore 1t has been de- cided that the exposition will be held in 1917, the anniversary of the Elm peror. In this manner Japan admits her stringency but insists on the ut most economy and depends on foreign countries accepting the situation as an act of wise economy on the part of the nation.

 Nine miles of canal and about 2 1-2 miles of channel deepening would connect Mobile and Pensacola via the Perdido bay as the commercial object of both Mobile and Pensacola
 To say that Senator Bankhead of Alabama Is an enthusiast upon the government doing this work, is to put 1t mildly. talked with him last Mon day on his way through Pensacola from the Perdido bay to Birmingham. He is unreservedly in favor of the federal government doing this work with the least possible delay. Furth- CT, he could not be stronger in his declaration for the project between Pencacola and Apaiachicola if all his material interests were in these places instead of Alabama.
 West Fioridans. are familiar with Santa Rosa sound. They know that will give a minimum of feet from the Pensacola end of the sound to Choc- tawhatchee bay. through a territory that Is already commercial territory, and a residence and truck section of highly desirable quality. From Choc- tawhatchee bay to Apalachicola forty miles of channel work and canal work is all that Is necessary. Any -ope of several different routes, of about equal engineering and monetary aspect could be selected in this section.
 Refenenee has been made to Senator Bankhead's enthusiasm over the pro- feet senator-elect Fletcher of Fiori- da Is on record as being committed to the project. Indeed. he has declar- ed in terms that the establishment of inland water communication between Mobile and Apalachicoia via Pensaeola will be his special work in the United States senate.

 The first work in congress has all ready been done. The house sent to death in committee bill by the late Representative Wiley to order a pres llmfnary survey for an Inland water route between Mobile and Pensacola, Chairman Burton of the rivers and harbors committee being unwilling at the time for his bill to carry any ap- prepriation for any new project. sena- the senate the provision that MT. W. ley was unable to get through the house. I believe that had Mobile as q community then understood the mat ter as well as leading Mobilians now do. MT. Wiley would have had better support and perhaps would have car- ried the matter through the house.
 In any event, the United states sen- ate Is on record as favorins most im- portant part of the project. The aver age history of natural legislation car- ryng appropriations for projects that mean continuous policies tells this story: The hardest light Is to get the bill through either senate or house the first time. When q bIll has once gotten through one branch of the nA- tl9nal s7n congress persistent effor. usu- full realization, so far as the appropria- ton is concerned Tn this gulf coast inland waterway project. therefore. the entering verge has been driven by the late John Morgan. Shall we keep working where he drove the wedge. or shall we let the good work he partially did die with him?
 Tn this day of great Improvement works. the inland waterway have out- lined would be pigny play in comparl- son with the Roosevelt and Shoshono dams. built by the government as part !, of a federal plan and policy of actually creating agricultural acreage by changing deserts into irrigated areas. The Gulf Coast inland Waterway as- sociation asks. not that tho govern mont turn deserts into gardens at colossal cost by titanic engineerfn q feasts but merely that the government create at small cost inland water com munication between sections of known value.
 But thinking about these things will not give thnies inland water connections Work Is needed, and money Is needed. Many hundreds of dollars must be spent for literature that will advertise the reasons why the national funds. which belong to Alaska as we'll as 10 us, should be spent on inland water ways that would especially benefit us
 We' know that the stupendous weight of the National Rivers ana Harbors Congress, which advocates "a policy. not project" Is with us even If we are advocating particular pro- ject, because our project is a part Of the great policy of the national asso- ciation.
 The ttime is ripe for the inception of general. hard work, which must fall on comparatively few men. for them to do with the funds furnished by the people at large
