that it costs a bunch of money ana
the engineers have not finished hgur-

made start by digging her drainage

st. Louis calls names that are not Ut

VIII Reduce Freig,t Rates.


Take the question Of freight tariffs
alone. Not only the boomers Of the
deep waterway project.bu commercial!
bodies IN many cities and towns Of the
country. have adopted The motto. "Riv
er regulation is rate regulation. The
proof Of the statement as it relates to
the Mississippi valley is furnished by
the report Of the chief of engineers u
few years ago:
Comparative rates between Pitts
burg aud Memphis by rail and river
on soft coal: BY rail. SOT miles, S3.T3
per ton: by river. 1.21S miles. ~ cents
per ton" Figures frsm this same re-
port show another interesting cOmpari-
son between the rail and river rates:
st. Louis 10 st. Paul. by rail. 573
miles, first class. GO cents per hundred;
sixth. p cents: by river. 729 miles, first
class. 40 cents: sixth. II cents" 1t Is
the prediction of an army engineer for
merly in charge Of river Improvements
at Pittshurg that the cost Of coal trans
portation to New Orleans, 1900 miles
away. at present about - cents per
ton. including the cost of returning
empties and all incidentals, will be re-
duced to 40 cents when nine foot
channel is obtained the year round.
This will be about one-ffteeuth of the
cheapest existing rail rate.
OF almost equal importance with
cheaper freight rates is the prompt
moving of the crops. The increasing
car shortages show the railroads I'M
equal to the task There appears no
simpler, cheaper and more effectual
method Of meeting the situation than
by the use of the rivers. -
Here is the real force behind the
ship canal proposition. 1t is business,
not sentiment That is the reason it
will win. Whether 1t is fourteen feet
through the valley" or ten. it will gain
the day at some depth. The chief en-
gineer who reported ON the proposition
was, inclined to cast doubts on the
fourteen foot thing. in spite of the POI
etry put over in its behalf. He thought
less number of feet might answer
and would not be In the same danger
from the angeable. Mississippi cur
rent. This may have been a case
where official timidity tried TO get in
the way of the American spirit, to be
run over and ground under the wheels
in consequence. The promoters of the
enterprise all live along the Mississip-
pi have studied the situation and be-
lieve that fourteen feet is feasible and
necessary. Certain it is that freight
ers are ever growing in size and hence
have deeper bottoms. II this canal is
designed to carry ocean trade. even
fourteen feet will soon be too shallow.
To show his faith in the project VIII
liam X. Kavanaugh, the president of
the deep waterway commission, has
incorporated S1O,oo00O0 corporation
to navigate the Mississippi and TO pro-
mote the ship canal. 1t is this COM
mission that has arranged the New
Orleans gathering and will take Presi-
dent Taft down the river in the steam
ship Mississippi, always provided that
the dikes hold.
