WATERWAY CONVENTION.

/ Inc LaReS-tO-tne-Gulf Deep Water
lway convention will meet in St Louis
Nov. ESQ, and large attendance is
looked for as there are 1900 dele
gates on the roster Cairo will be
there with strong delegation headed
Thy Mayor Parsons.
An interesting discussion is in pro
gress with respect to the need of 0
l4-foot channel The opinion among
those interested here is, as expressed
by John S. Aisthorpe at a recent
meeting in the Commercial Club
rooms, that a 9-foot channel would
be sufficient and would be easier of
| attainment. This view is rapidly
gaining ground. But there seems to
be other difficulties to overcome, as
Indicated In the following editorial
from the st. Louis Republic of recent
date,
1t would be riskfuI experiment to
attempt to pass judgment on the re-
Iport OF the special Board of Engineers
concerning the Lakes-to- the-Gplf
waterway on the sole basis of the
meager abstracts telegraphed from
Washington, but the reports warrant
word or two of comment.
We read that the testimony of W
K. Kayanaugh was considered to
have but little weight, since as Npresi
dent Of the Lakes-to-the-Gulf organiza-
ton he in agitation for fourteen
foot channel and as president of the
Mississippi Valley Transportation
Company he spreads broadcast adver
tisements of boats designed to oper
ate rrofitably upon the rivers as they
are. The point thus scored is merely
rhetorical. 1t is MIR. Kavanaugh3
firm belief that river carriers could be
operated at profit upon present
depths, but that the additional sly
feet asked form the st. Louis.Cairo
= each--would greatly increase ease
OF operation and warrant much larger
use OF the river. /
Inc members OF the board certain.
~ know that the Mississippi river Is
stream heavily silt-laden, with
bottom which is not fixed, but rises
and falls with the stage of water. 1
They know also that boat, for
profitable operation, needs several
feet CT water under her keel. An adj
ditlonal four feet on the bars under
boat drawing ten feet would make
Tor speed, ease Of handling and i'm
munity from snags. We have yet to
see any prominent river man who be.

ing j. to be gained by caricaturing
Mr., kavanaugh's position. I
We are ready to admit without con.
troyersy that the happy-family situa.
ton in Illinois politics does not help
the deep waterway. Somehow, the
air up there must be cleared of
ieathers and fur before any scheme
OF cooperation between state and fed
eFal government can be worked out
We strongly object TO an identifica-
ton OF the deep waterway plan with

Of a druggist, against whom charges Of habitual
