This lesson will be, perhaps, one of the

that but little meat is needed on the bill

ers are TO be improved il should be the
shallow water improvement, following
European lines, but We must remember
that in Europe the freight is carted
twenty miles or more TO reach the river.
This is practical, with the good roads
of Europe, but it cannot be done in
the United States.
Advocates of the so.called deep wat.
erway would do well to explain why
the present waterway from st. Louis tn
the Gulf is not use as II used to be.
The River is still there and is in as
good or better condition than it ever
was. The government reports show that
the export business from the Gulf Port
district has increased from $4,000, 00O
to $4,000, 900 in ten years. Notwith.
standing this great increase of business
river traffic has fallen off more than 80
per cent, while the railway traffic ha,
increased in the same time about $50
per cent. The reason for this is that
shippers have found the railway service
is so much quicker and better that they
prefer to use IL.
"In 1890 the river shipments from
st. Louis were more than 600, 900 tons
In 1906 they had fallen 10 s 5000. Tn,
