on the fiasco. The writer is able to state
on the best authority that he dropped at
least $25 900 in actual outlay. Jack john
son carried off $4,000, which was paid
to him in advance. pretty fair sum for
having taste of high life in Paris at the
expense of the promoter Efforts were
made to get Johnson to fight Wells in
Paris under the same agreement, but as
the black would be receiving only $4,000
more, he fatty refused. declaring that he
was retir ng from the ring.
But White lost much larger sum than
this. When the fight was stopped he
was practically assured of a profit of
10000 out of the venture. He could not
have made less than that, and there was
possibility of his making more So the
action of Churchill made q difference to
him of at least $50. 600.
White is a slim. pale-faced man, with
short-cropped black hair, turning to gray.
and black mustache. He is a North of
England man, and speaks with a pro-
nounced Yorkshire accent. which has sur
vived the diluting effect of years of pesi-
dence in London. Heretofore he has been
known as a financial agent of some of the
biggest promoters in the midlands and in
London. Used to enormous losses as well
as to enormous winnings, he takes his

trolling the water supply embrace the
whole United States. They provide for
the regulation of the flow of the rivers
and of standardizing them. They pro-
vide for great reservoirs along The Mis-
sissippi, Ohio and Missouri. They treat
of drainage and irrigation and of the
development of our water power. They
also include the making, by means. of
canals, of a great system of interior
water transportation. which shall sup
plement our railways, and reduce freight
rates to the merchant and the consumer.
According to DR.. MCGEE. the scheme
means an annual saving in transporta-
ton charges alone of more than three
quarters of a million dollars for every
day of the year, an annual saving in
flood damages of one. hundred and fifty
million dollars per annum and saw ng
in the washing away of our soils of one
half billion dollars every year. In ad-
dition to this there will be an enormous
profit from the water powers created, and
altogether a mighty decrease in the cost
of living should follow.
The plans for this development have
been worked out in connection with the
commission of inland waterways and
with the bureau of soils of the Agricul-
tural Department. Senator Newlands and
the committee of rivers and harbors have
had the matter under discussion. and in
time we will have a great waterway
project which will add not only to the

enough to build a rampant Of ice two

the Mississippi valley from st. Paul to
st. Louis and on to New Orleans.
This underground water runs from the

marshes. to hundreds of feet, and even a
thousand feet. below the surface All
the cracks and openings of the rocks are
filled with water, and there are porous
rocks which take up water like sponge.
In these about one-fifth of the whole vol

water which feeds our artesian wells and
other wells. 1t is this that feeds the
plants in great degree, and this that fur

determined to see little more of the

hope of retrieving some of his immense
losses.
One of the immediate effects of the
stopping of the Johnson-W Wells match will
be the practical exclusion of outside pro-
motors from London. One thing is GER
tain: Hugh Mcintosh will think a long
while before he comes back to London
next April as he told me he intended.
White will soon tire of the game, and
that will leave the field absolutely at the
mercy of the National Sporting .iub. No
more big purses for American fighters. no

to the increase of our industries, but will
be of enormous military advantage in
the defense of our country.
AS far as waterways are concerned
there are few countries which compare
with the United States We have coast
line which, II stretched out, would reach
twice around the world and still leave
fourteen thousand miles to spare. The
United States shore line OF the great
lakes is half again as long as from
New York to San Francisco, and the
navigable waters of our rivers, il they
could be joined in one line, would form
continuous stream around the globe
with thousand miles to spare. The
Mississippi system alone has twenty
five hundred miles of waterways which
have draft of six feet. and our whole
country is so cut up by streams that
great system Of canals and rivers could
be made by which the heaviest of our
freight could be carried by water.
The plans Of the commission. as shown
to me by DR.. MCGEE, provide for a deep
waterway from the Gulf of Mexico to the
great lakes, and a deep and continuous
Atlantic interior passage from New Eng
land to Florida and the Gulf of Mexico.

Have you any idea how much money

average, only about one-fourth that of

profitable. As il is now. the railroads

~
There are some railway men who look
upon such a combination as one Of thu.
necessities of the future. Among thos
who have the broadest views il James
j. Hill. He says that railroad transpor-
tation cannot be performed at much less
than Il cent q ton per mile. The rates on
iron ore on the great lakes are about
mill per ton per mile, while the same orr
carried by railroad costs ten times
much.
As il is now the government is spend
ing tens of millions of dollars year on
rivers and harbors, and great part or
this is political graft. The money goes
to the Improvement of creeks and other
waterways which have no commercial i'm
portance, and IL Is really an appropria
ton bill for the benefit of the representa-
tives in their individual districts. The
amount appropriated last year was a
little more than S41 100000.
Among the important works under way
are the improvement of the Ohio and Mis-
sssippi, the deepening of the channels
in the Delaware river at Philadelphia, i'm
the Hudson river at Troy, and at Mobile.
and at Oakland, Cal. A considerable
work has been done ut Baltimore and
New York. as well as at Galveston, where
the entrance channel has been deepened
to thirty-four feet
The government is making surveys for
a deepwater channel from Lockport Ill.
at the end of the Chicago Drainage canal
to the Mississippi river at Cairo, and the
state of New York has about half com
pleted the making of new barge canal
twelve feet deep from Lake Erie at Buff
falo to the Hudson river. The route il
from Buffalo to Rome along the line of
the old Erie canal and from Rome to the
Hudson IL Is a canaliZation of the Mo
hawk river. The state is authorized t.
spend S1ol 100000 on Che project, and IL
is probable that the whole amount will
be needed.
