CONGRESS WANTS
IMPROVEMENTS
CLARK SAYS THE LOWER HOUSE IS IN
FAVOR OF IMPROVED WATERWAYS
on ALL WATERS OF The U.S..

Washington, Dec. g. That the
house of representatives, ''practi-
cally every man in it, is in favor
Of comprehensive and adequate
legislation providing for the inn
provement of all the navigable
waters of the United States, and is
equally ready to appropriate money
for carrying on the work was the
declaration made to the National
Rivers and Harbors congress to-
day by Kep. Champ Clark, the
minority leader of the house of
representatives.
The declaration was made in the
course of brief and forceful re-
marks by Clark during which he
advised the delegates to concen-
trate their missionary efforts upon
the senate and the White House.
Clark followed several speakers,
among whom was Gov. Judson
Harmon of Ohio. Harmon entered
the hall during the address of Gen.
Bixby, chief ST the United States
engineer corps, and the speaker
was forced to pause until the ap-
plause for the Ohian had died away.
Governor Harmon's address was
very brief, and contained little be-
yond his expression of full sympa-
thy with the cause of the congress,
to which he pledged his support.
He paid q tribute to the work of
the army engineers and advised
full reliance in their counsels.
THE waterways of the country
he said, are free from monopoly,
by virtue of the constitution of the
country, and they offer a solution
for transportation difficulties and,
which the railroads declared they
would soon be able to overcome.
Capt. A. p. Baker of Bismarck
is in Washington representing the
upper Missouri river interests at
