!C0URI UfH0lDS COMMISSION EOAM or GOVERNMENT
| BIG GATHERING At
| PhatAlEA MONDAY
(By Winfield Jones.)

washington, Nov. 13 The
Mississippi to Atlantic lnlanl Water
way Association, of which Senator
Duncan U. Fletcher is president,
and LELAND j. Henderson, of Pensa
cola, is secretary, will hold the sixth
annual convention at Palatka, Fla. ),
Nov. II AMI IS.
This association advocates an in
land waterway from the Mississippi
river at or near New Orleans. eX-
tending along the gulf to the west
coast of Florida, and across Florida
to the Atlantic. A considerable por-
ton of this waterway is now avail
able for use.
A survey has been ordered between
Mobile bay and Pensacola bay.
There will be very little cutting re-
quired to make an inland route be-
tween Mobile and Pensacola. There
is good water from Pensacola to
Chocawhatchie bay and st. Andrews
bay connecting the two. St. An
drew's bay has splendid outlet to
the gulf through a channel OF twen-
ty-two feet depth. There is being
cut a canal between st. Andrews
bay and the Apalachicola river, for
which over 100000 has been appro-
priated. This will connect the Apal-
achicola and Flint river systems with
a deep water harbor at st. Andrews.
Five routes were surveyed across
Florida by the enoincers, and finally
they decided upon a route which
would lead up the st. Johns river
via Jacksonville and Palatla to the
mouth of the Ocklawaha river, thence
IN the Ocklawaha to Lake Harris,
connecting with chain or lakes in
that renion about Icesburg, and very
little cutting will be, required to pass
into the Withlacooche river, thence
to the gulf. Engineers have recon-
mended the Improvement of the Ock
lawaha river, which will bring the
Across Florida project more than
half way across the State, and 1t is
believed that before many years that
waterway will be completed to the
gulf.
The association has collected data,
appeared before the board of en"i-
neers, and in various ways has
pressed this project of an inland wa
terwav connecting the Mississippi
with the Atlantic.
The dele"ates to the meeting at
Palatka will 20 to Jacksonville and
join the dele"ates Of the Atlantic
neener Waterway association, which
will he in session at Jacksonville from
November IS to 81. This latter as
ISOLATION advocates an inland water
way along the Atlantic coast from
Cave Cod to Key West. Much Of
this route has been alrendv construct
ed. With the completion Of these
two projects, TIE lntra Coastal Sys-
tom will Re carried along the Allan
tic and along the gulf, and will be
pushed westward from the Missis
sippi to the Rio Grande.
Addresses will he delivered by
leading waterway advocates of the
country, and tho attendance at both
meetings will he lar"e.
