FAR SOUTH
STEAMSHIP COMPANIES TO LAND
IMC0MERS HEREAFTER At
new ORLEANS.
COOPERATION IS DESIRED
States Are Asked to Assist In the
Proper Distribution Of the
Homeseekers.

A number Of men interested in the
development of the five states Of
Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas,
Alabama and Tennessee. met in
New York recently and induced three
steamship companies to bring sched-
uled loads Of immigrants from Eu-
rope and land them at New Orleans,
to be scattered over the cheaper
lands of the five states mentioned.
The North German Lloyd Line is to
bring immigrants from Bremen, the
Atlantica Navigation Company will
bring them from the Mediterranean,
and the Fabre line from Naples. The
first ship sailed on the seventh of
this month.
On the twenty-ffth Of October
these same men will meet the gov
ernors and industrial and immigration
agents Of the five states, the immi-
grafton agents of the various rail-
roads operating in the Mississippi
Valley, bankers, land developers and
newspapermen at St. Charles Hotel
in New Orleans, when plans for the
locating Of these immigrants will be
made. Active plans to distribute
advertising material all over the
world will be discussed, and an effort
made to secure some state appro-
priations to be applied in distributing
the homeseekers. The purpose of
the whole project is to divert some
of the immigration tide, which isl
entering the cities, into the country,
where the average immigrant be-
longs. The movement promises to
be be a splendid thing for the Gulf

HARRISON
TALKS OF
THE COAST
REPRESENTATIVE GIVES INTER
VIEW IN MOBILE ABOUT
THIS SECTION.
EXPECTS NO OPPOSITION
Thinks He Will Go Back to cea-
gress Next Election Without
An Opponent

Congressman B. p. Harrison u
the Mississippi Coast district was IL
Mobile Thursday on business for
twoof his constituent cities, Gulf
port and Pascagoula, says the No.
bile Register.
Heconferredw with Captain Ward Of
the United States Engineers about
getting dredge boat at Gulfport.
He secured an appropriation from
the sixty-second congress for the
permanent location Of dredge there,
and is optimistic over the results
that will accrue by reason Of steady
work of the dredgeboat.
The engineers estimate that It
will take about half the time Of the
dredge keeping The channel clean,
and the otherhalf can be spent in
deepening According to engineers
figures it will not be more than three
years at this rate before we have
tWenty-six feet of water at GulfpoTt
and then you just watch that city
llum." Hereafter the appropriations
required will only be for keeping the
dfedge in operation and for mainten.
ance, and those he thinks can be
obtained without any trouble what
ever.
1t absolutely insures the future
OF Gulfport as deep water port, )"
said Congressman Harrison.
He was also comforting with Cap
tam Ward relative to the improve
ment at Pascagoula. Congress ap.
propriated 5000 for the work
there, but made a condition that the
residents of that district should raise
and expend $4,000 year for five
years. Mr.. Harrison succeeded in
getting that condition referred back
by the army board of engineers to
the district engineer with view Of
eliminating it and that is under con.
sideration now.
Congressman Harrison states that
the appropriation for Leaf river to be
cleaned out from its mouth to Hat.
so as to give a four-fOot
channel amounted to S110, 500 and
it was disapproved by the army
board OF engineers because they did
not believe it could be done for that
sum. However, Congressman Har-
rison succeeded in getting the matter
referred back to the district engineer
tor revision of the figures to see If it
is possible to accomplish the work
for that amount, and tins is consider
ed quite victory for him. He was
instrumental in having the army
board of engineers visit Pascagoula
and other. points on the coast last
year.
q am exceedingly sanguine and
hopeful that can get this Leaf river
project through" he said to The
Register; 1t is of very great inn
portance to Hattiesburg."
Asked if he would have any op-
position for reelection he said he
did not think he would.

men are in perfect harmony with
residents Of this city desiring the I'LL
nois state law TO be enforced, which
will close all saloons here on Sundays.
and which. by mutual consent, will
become effective Sunday, Jan. 4. The
carrying out of the law will be more
far-reaching than was first antici-
pated AS much of the regattas'
revenues came from the barrooms Of
both boat associations clubhouses. It
has been decided TO dispense with re-
gattas Public dances on Sundays in
halls and parks will also cease. as
contributions from the bars were de-
pended upon for expenses The ef-
feet on Sunday baseball games will
also be obvious. as saloons at Sports
