Major J. A. Dapray, retired, secfe-
tary of National Drainage association,
occupied most of his time in recount
ing the need for appropriations Tor
draining swamps. Other speakers
dwelt upon the need for adequate
water transportation.
Mrs. Amelia A. Tompkins, president

how the east had been outstripped by
the middle and far west in transporla-

age of 1906 and 1907 caused the people
of the east to awaken to the need OF
the inland passage along the Atlantic
