canal extends from Galveston, Texas,
to Corpus Christi, Texas, distance of
approximately 200 miles, skirting the
coast line of the great Lone Star
State and connecting with many nav
igable streams, rivers, bayous, creeks
and canals Thousands of acres of
rich, virgin prairie are drained by
this canal, supplied with transporta-
ton facilities and opened to settle
ment. All cities and towns along the
Texas coast between Galveston and
Corpus Christi, as well as all cities
and towns on nayigable streams con-
Meeting with the intercoastal canal,
are now given direct water communi-
cation with the great jobbing center
of Galveston and are afforded an outlet
to this great port for their products.
The effect of the intercoastal canal
will not be local. it is not local pro,
ject, but is national in its scope This
inland waterway, skirting the coast OF
Louisiana and Texas, is but a link in
the great national plan for a protected
waterway for small craft along the en-.
tire eastern seaboard of the United
States The plans of the federal gov
eminent calls for an intercoastal canal
from Maine to the Mexican border
and there has been considerable agi
tation with more or less promise of CO
operation on the part of the Latin
American countries for an extension oil
this waterway to connect with the
Panama Canal. The completion oil
the Galveston-Corpus Christi section
of the intercoastal canal is a step to
ward the final realization of this ideal
The intercoastal canal in Texas
and Louisiana has been surveyed
through its entire length and esti
mates made by the government engin
GERS. The final project calls for a
canal nine feet deep and one hundred
feet wide. extending from the Missis
sippi river, near New Orleans, TO the
Rio Grande, near Brownsville. EST
mates for such canal amount to $10-
5000. The canal is practically cut
through from the Mississippi river to
the Sabine river, which forms the Tex
as Louisiana line, and from Galveston
Texas, to Corpus Christi, Texas, a to
tai distance of about 400 miles. Work
will go forward on the section of the
canal between Galveston, Texas, and
the Sabine river, and when this sec
ton is cut through an inland waterway
from the Mississippi river to Corpu:
Christi, Texas, a distance of approx
mately 500 miles, will be completed.
This work is being done under the
supervision of the United States en-
gineers, Lieutenant Colonel Charles S
Richie, in charge of the Galveston dis
trict, having charge of the work il

gineer in charge of the Louisiana dis
