SPECIAL MESSAGE ON RIVERS
President Transmits Report Of Inland
Waterways Commission.

Washington, Feb. 81. President
Roosevelt sent a special message to
congress, transmitting a preliminary
report Of the inland waterways com.
mission. The president says in
part: THE commission finds that
it was unregulated railroad competi.
ton which prevented or destroyed the
development Of commerce on our in.
land waterways. The report rests
throughout on the fundamental con
eeption that every waterway should be
made to serve the people as largely
and in as many different ways as pos
sible. The commission recognizes that
the cost of improving our inland
waterways will be large, but far less
than would be required to relieve the
congestion of traffic by railway ex-
tension. While we delay. our rivers
remain unused. our traffic is periodi'
eally congestsd, and the material
wealth and natural resources of the
country related to waterways are be.
ing steadily absorbed by great mon.
epolies. Among these monopolies
there . no other which threatens such
intolerable interference with the daily
life of the people as the consolidation

Washington, Feb. 27.~-Ths bill to

came when Dalzell (Pa), recognized

tive speech in defense of the Repub-
lican party and its policies, in which
he upheld the principle of the protec-
tive tariff system and said that under
IL the United States had become tho
greatest Of manufacturing nations. He
did not believe there was any neces-
sity for tariff revision. but thought 1t
was we'll to recognise the claims Of
those who think there should be some
alterations. Whatever that revision
was. provided the Republicans were
successful at the next election, he as
sured his hearers 1t would be In &C

attacked by Houston (Tenn.). to which
he charged the trusts owed their being

It is these impurities. af- fecting even the dearest looking wa ter, which cause the accumulation of fur inside of boilers and tea kettles and which counteract the effects of soap in washing. It is estimated that in Europe IS tons of lime. mAgnesia potash, soda, salt and saIphuric and phosphoric acids are annually leached out of the soil from every square mile of surface. England alone is estimated to have removed from it's soil every year s,370 $50 tons of solid matter which has been dissolved and held in solution by running water. By this process alone, therefore, foot in depth of the rocks of England and Wales would be dissolved and carried into the sea every 12,97S years.
