country. I earnestly hope that your

direction"

Recognizing the unavoidability Of
your absence from ST. Louis April 10,
the National Drainage congress, sad
dened by the tremendous flood d1sas'

and knowing that such catastrophes
are needless accept the responsibility
of presenting to the people and to the
congress of the United States plan
to alleviate and prevent the recur-
renee of loss Of life and property, and
we respectfully suggest, that. lacking
your personal presence the greatest
impetus which could be given our
work would be the presence of Secre-
tary of the Interior Lane, and ar Of
fetal exposition by him OF the needs
of our country for drainage and flood
protection. Will you confer with him
at the cabinet meeting today, and If
agreeable to him, draft him into our
service?" t-a II.

Of the principal buildings, and a moro
optimistic spirit prevailed than at,
