Washington, Nov. 21.-(Speciai.1-- Hon. John 4. Fox. who has just re- turned to Washington after complet- ing his trip of the country in the tn- tefest of the National Rivers and Har- bors Congress. says:
 T found the most remarkable inter- est. at a number of cities throughout the Pacific Coast, in the; Southern Com mercial Congress movement. A large number of prominent men, whom had no idea knew of the. movement, conn mend It as one of the finest steps ever taken for the advanceent of any sec tion of the United States many hay ing seriously considered taking the same step for the Pacific Coast States.
 Tt would not surprise me at all to see a Trans Mountain Commercial Com gress organized sin the near future. with the same end in view-the co- operative advancement of the Rocky Mountain and Pacific Coast States. The practical lines on which the Southern Commercial Congress is being carried out appeal to me most strongly. It Is an organization for the purpose of stimulating all other organizations and net for the purpose of interfering in any way with any endeayor- made for any one place. expect to attend all its sessions this year.
