WANT DRAINAGE IN SOUTH
National Congress at New Orleans to
Urge Government to Undertake
Huge Pro ect

New Orleans, April IO.--The first
national drainage congress, whose de,
alterations are expected to be of
great importance to the entire Mis-
sissippi Valley. opened here today
with several thousand delegates in at
tendance.
The object of the conference is the
advancement of a policy calling for
the aid of the federal government in
the drainage of wet and overflow
lands of the south, and other sections
of the country. the argument being
that IL it is proper for the national
government to eXpend vast sums for
the irrigation of arid lands in the
west, it is equally proper for the gov
eminent to aid in removing the super
fuous water from the fertile low
lands of the south. Such an under
taking would cost nearly S5O0.OOO,O0O
The interest this project entertains
for the inha bitants of the upper Mis-
sissippi and it's tributaries lies in the
fact that such a drainage, according
to those in charge of the convention.
must be largely effected at the head
waters of the Mississippi. and of the
streams contributing to it's volume, by
means of reservoirs acting in conjunc-
ton all over the territory drained by
the river, from the AppalaChians to
the Rockies and from the Canadian
border and the Great Lakes to the
mouth Of the river in the south
Among those on the program are:
w. L. Park. vice president and gen,
eral manager of the Illinois Central
railroad; George II. Maxwell. tbs
drainage expert. and other men of
prominence in engineering and civic
life.

Claims Roosevelt viii Be Nominated
at Chicago as Result of Illinois
Primaries.

Washington. April 10 Senator Dix
on, in charge of the Roosevelt head
quarters. gave out the following state
ment regarding the Illinois primaries:
'IllinOis Republicans have declared
for Roosevelt as their nominee for
president by more than one hundred
thousand majority. The overwhelm
ing reputation of Taft by the Repub
liCaNs of Illinois ends the Taft cam
paisn for denomination. Wherever
legitimate primary expression has
been had, the Republican voters have
utterly repudiated Taft, In North Da-
kota, Taft received $40 votes out of
a total of $1,000 In Wisconsin, the
Republican voters Tepudiated Taft's
claim by 10000 majority. The Illinois
Republicans repudiate his claim for
denomination by over 100000 Ger
tainly, no Republican leader can long.
er doubt that an attempt to force
Taft's nomination under these cir
cumstanCes would be suicide for the
Republican party. Roosevelt will be
nominated at Chicago, and will be tri
umphantly elected in November"
