fJle by such aid as the government
can give and liberal enough to insure
success.
There is a time coming when our
increasing population will be more
largely urban than now, when factor
les will multiply more rapidly than
farms. when the United States will
need new and important markets.
The world may come to us in its own
speech ships for the products of our
farms and raw materials from our
mines but will not come in its own
ships for the finished products of our
factories. When that time comes and
il is nearer than most of us think,
we will need, and must have inter
national merchants to sell for us in
foreign lands, International bankers
to arrange our credits with
those who buy from us and an inter-
national merchant marine to carry
our product TO those who need them.
This people will pay without a
inurner for a big navy. But no one
seems 10 think that the business of
such ships is to fight, and TO fight eff
fectually there must be auxiliary to
going steamships to keep it in fuel.
men, and supplies. If this fleet OF
ours should be unfortunately called
upon some day to do the thing it
was built for. how would We keep it
supplied with the needful? No one
cares to answer that.
II lbeneve that the first duty of the
United States to establish perma-
ment lines of communication be
tween our ports and the principal
ports of the world and particularly
those where our products would be
most likely to find "A market. Such
service should be by American built
vessels. wholly owned by citizens OF
the United States. They should be
officered by citizens of the United
States and a reasonable proportion
of their crews should also be citi-
zens of the United States. Such a
service would not be cheap. But
the result would he a steady growth
of foreign commerce, new markets
for our products and fleet of mer-
chant steamships ready for govern
ment service when required"

principal ditch proposed to be
dug in said drainage district.
And that the same runs as To-

right angles to the general
course of the natural drainage
Of the lands in said district, and

located along the general course

port, who again reported with
a slight change the same dis
trict and improvements which
he had originally reported.
That thereupon the personal Of
the board having changed, the
Board of Supervisors of Harri-

of j. S. Wattles, and located
and established said drainage

therein, according to such re-

That the report of said engi-

district as reported by the en-

mended that a further investi-

the ditch as located by the en-
