TAFT URGES

GOOd Channel From Lakes to. Gulf

Poor Condition Of Mississippi DELAYS
Presidential Party-vessels Are
Unable to Keep Together and
Much Time Is Lost-Commercia
Advantages Sleep.

Helena, Ark, Oct. 28.-President
Taft's river schedule went all to pieces
yesterday, owing to the inability of
the vessels following his flagship, the
Oleander, to maintain the designated
speed. The president tried to remain
with the fleet as far as possible and de-
iayed his arrival at Memphis three
hours in order that the boat carrying
the 26 governors and the 1T congress-
men, as we'll as other vessels carrying
delegates to the waterways convention
in New Orleans, might land at the same
time.
Leaving here nearly three hours late,
the president will not reach Vicksburg
until 6 o'clock or later tonight, that
being his next stop. Even to make
that city at p. M, the president will
have to leave the other vessels behind.
1t had been intended that the president
should be welcomed once more to Ar
kansas by Governor Donaghey, but the
governors boat was an hour behind the
president, and the Introductory speech
was made by Mayor Martin.
The delay in the arrival caused much
confusion, however, and two of the
presidents cabinet ministers came near
getting left on the return from the au-
dtorium.
The president in his address at Mem
phis delared that such commercial
advantages as the Mississippi river al
ready afforded were not being taken
advanta of. He also pointed out the
hard work that would have to be done
to start system of commerce., even
after the deep waterway had been Sc
cured.
The president is still very hoarse
and it vas with great effort that he
spoke.
He referred to the fotila jestingly
as travelling show, booked for full
performance, and regretted that one
part of the show was called upon to fill
the entire engagement. The trip down
the river, according to the president,
has simply demonstrated the made
quacy of present river traffic to COM
pete with the railroads and is good ar
gument for deep waterways.
