NO DEEP WATERWAY
Traffic on Mississippi Would Not JUS
tify the Expense


| Congressman ID. j. Foster arrived in
this city yesterday from Washington.
He has just returned from his trip
down the Mississippi river with the
party of President Taft and he had
something of interest to say regard
ing the deep waterway project which
has in view the dredging of the Father
of Waters so that it will be naviga-
BILE for sea-going craft.
Mr. Foster said yesterday that,
while still open to conviction, he did
not think that the project would be a
paying venture. He said that he
thought the expense involved would
be out of all proportion to any bene-
fit which might accrue therefrom. The
presidential party found large num-
Der of foreign ships at Mobile and
there were a great number of boats
which went up the Alabama but there
was practically no traffic on the Miss
! issippi. with all its present facilities.
The problem to be solved now is
that of keeping The river within its
banks and fixing their location. This
should be done and in the expense Of
the work the states interested should
share with the federal government.
Mr.. Foster returns to Washington on
Burlington Free Press.
