Most Of the members of committee
appointed by the war department and
that met at the Rock Island arsenal

After leaving the arsenal in Septen-

RIVERS future
is up TO PEOPLE
So Declares Thomas Wilkinson,
President of Improvement
Association.
MUST SHOW MORE INTEREST
Water Transportation Most Valuable
Asset of Any City-ThOse on
Big Stream Should Grow.

In the course of a recently delivered
address before the Quincy Chamber Of
Commerce Thomas Wilkinson, presi-
dent of the Upper Mississippi River
Improvement association, said:
"Old methods must give way to new
ideas.
"That which has followed the i'm
provement of the great lakes, in the
way of greatly reduced traffic charges
and largely increased transportation
facilities, may reasonably be expected
to follow, in a corresponding degree,
the permanent improvement of our
rivers, when they are provided with
proper terminals, etc, as just refer
red to.
cit is impossible to calculate the ben
efits which the full enjoyment of water
transport would bring to your manufac-
turing industries, in assembling their
raw materials, such as iron, coal, lum-
Der, grain. cotton, and the like, which
are shipped in large quantities and
could be carried by water at rates
much less than present tariff charges.
Belongs to the People.
"The most valuable asset this city
possesses is the advantage of being To-
Gated upon the Mississippi river; it Is
an asset which no one can take away;
it belongs to the people and is con-
trolled only by the government OF the
United States. It is an advantage which
will increase in value and be more ap-
preciated as the years come and go.
There is no reason in the world.
save the short-sighted policy of the
railroads in the past, why the cities
along the Mississippi river should not
grow to be many times larger. and far
more important as manufacturing and
commercial centers than they are now.
The government can do no more
than build the channel, and it is up to
the business men of each town and
city to see that, without delay. provis-
ion is made for securing proper ter
minals and an intimate and advanta-
geous connection between rail and
water
These things have not been Consid-

1.-THE city of New Orleans is expend-
ing over $1O,000,O00 in the improve
ment of its harbor and dock facilities
and a belt line of railway connecting
with all railways entering the city
The city of St. Paul is preparing to
expend between 100000 and $4,000
600 in the improvement Of its harbor

these to show you what is already be-
ing done and as an object lesson OF
what must be done by other cities

Is Heart of Nation.
"The heart of the United States is in
this imperial Mississippi valley, a val
ley richer by far than the famed val
legs of the Euphrates or the Nile, in
all the elements of nature which con-
tribute to the happiness and prosperity
of mankind In this valley is produc-
ed the vast products from which we
are rapidly becoming the purveyOr of
the worlds wants. The inland water
ways of this valley are capable of be-
ing made useful, so that our farmers,
miners and manufacturers may have
the best opportunities afforded them
for getting their products to the point
of shipment on the ocean, and, in con-
nection with the Panama canal, for ex-
tending American commerce over the
whole earth
Not Fighting Railroads.
Let it be emphatically understood
that the movement for the develop
ment and use of our inland waterways
is not in antagonism or opposition to
the railways, but for the purpose of
creating a complementary and auXil-
larry sustem of transport, to relieve the
railways, which have about reached the
limit of their carrying and terminal ia
cilities, in moving the heavy and bulky
freight consumed in large quantities
by manufacturing and commercial In
dustries situated on waterways. With
these two systems, rail and water,
working tremendously side by side,
furnishing adequate and cheap trans
portation for the development of its
commerce, the future growth Of this
country in material prosperity and the
earnings of both the railways and wa
terways will be beyond all precedent.
Transportation Makes Commerce.
'Tf a fertile soil, busy workshops and
easy transportation of men and goods
from place to place make a nation
great and prosperous. then this nation,
possessing all these things in greater
abundance than any other, should be
the greatest and most prosperous ma
ton on the globe.
Transportation makes commerce,
and to that nation which enjoys the
best methods of transportation with
a minimum of charges, there Will come
the maximum of commercial success"
