Washington. July 19 - Cooperation
between railways and waterways
seems absolutely necessary TO insure
Ia reasonable and efficient use of the
inland water courses of this country.
This conclusion is reached in the re-
port of Herbert Knox Smith, commits
sioner of corporations, in part Ii. of his
discussion of the subject of "Transpor-
tation by Water which his bureau
has been investigating for many
months. The second part of the re
port was transmitted to President
Taft today. 1t deals with traffic by
water. and portions of it are particu-
larly suggestive and significant.
1t is pointed out by Commissioners
Smith that ''it is public evil that the
entire transportation system of the
United States should be, as now, at
odds with itself through destructive
competition, while the transportation
needs of the public suffer-

opment of a waterway. State and fed
eral work must be supplemented by
private initiative especially in termin-
ais and equipment, and private initia-
tive will come in only when there is
reasonable chance of enough traffic TO
make it profitable. One of the great
questions, therefore, is the question oil
how TO secure for the inland rivers and
canals reasonable share of the coun-
try's traffic
In the body of the report Commits
Sioner Smith points out the predom-
nance of bulk traffic by water, and
the reasons therefor Then he out
lines the practical results to be OBJ
tanned from a thorough system of
waterways.
Three Great Glasses.
The entire transportation system OF
the country is divided into three great
classes:
G) Rail
(2) Deep water; that is, coastwise
and great lakes.
CD Rivers and canals
An enormous increase has been
shown in the rail traffic. There alsC
| has been an increase in the coastwise
| traffic. On the other hand, the river
| and canal traffic shows marked de
crease. Discussing this situation, Com
missioner Smith in his report says:
| The great mass of the coast and
great lakes traffic is bulk. The enor
nous development of the great lakes
| business is largely due to the vast ore
and grain trade moving eastward ant
/ the coal trade moving westward
About 45,000,000 tons of ore were trans
ported in 1907 eastward, and abou
100000 tons of coal were moved
westward in 1906. These great freights
being all bulk and of uniform charac
ter, received and delivered at a few
central ports, have produced there
very highly organized system of trans
portation and terminals. and conse
quent low transportation cost.
The river and canal system, OF
the other hand, has been losing stead
lily. The New York canals and tn
! mississippi river system illustrate this
Up to 1855 the traffic on the New Yorl
icanals was more than twice that of Tn

A LITTLE RED SPOT.
Novel Experiment by Which It May
Be Made to Disappear.

"A peculiar feature about poslam, the
new skin discovery is that no one is
asked to buy it without first sending to
the Emergency Laboratories No. 81
West Twenty-fifth street New York
City, for an experimental sample and
applying same to an affected part Of
the skin, about the size Of a silver
dollar. 1t will clear the spot so treated
in twenty four hours-a remarkable
visual demonstration of it's powers.
While poslam has been mentioned
principally in connection with the cure
of eczema, the most stubborn of skin
diseases, it must be remembered that
when used for itch, hives, pimples
blotches, acne, itching feet, scaly scalp
chatting of infants and similar minor
skin troubles its action is all the more
pronounced, results being seen after an
overnight application. AS only a small
quantity of poslam is necessary to cure
such cases, special fifty-cent pack
age, usually sufficient, has been placed
on sale at Coughlins Pharmacy and
other leading drug stores in Augusta
and throughout the country.
