WANT RIVER NAVIGATION

Newport, June. 19-!The move lIent for, return to cheap trans pOrtatiOn over the waterways of the state which IS becoming general on account of excessive v high freight rates charged by tho railroads has become evident here. A plan is on foot which if brought to a successful culmina tion will open White River and Current river for a total distance of 44O miles to year-arOund nav igat.on.
 To secure such navigation fla cilitieS it has been found that a dredge boat will have to be en- plOyed to keep cleared away the constantly forming sand bars and clay and gravel shoals which now hamper navigation in low water periods The initial cost of a steel hull self-propeliing d,pper dredge would be about $4O,0OO and the cost of the maintenance would be in the ne. .ghbOrhOOd of S2O,OOO year.
 Those interested in opening up year-around navigation have ap- pea.ed to the government to place such a dredge boat in the rivers and to maintain it. Fifteen big petitions are in circulation III the territory tributary to White Black and Current rivers. When a certain number of signatures have been secured the petition will be forwarded to Congress- man Oldfield for action.
