RIGHT BY 0CA[A
Senator Fletcher Active in Great
Work of Special Interest to-
Our State

Washington. March 13.-There is
probably no man in public life who
watches with keener interest every
possibility for developing additional
facilities for transportation than
da. For five years Senator Fletcher
has been president of the Mississippi
to-Atlantic Inland Water Ways AS
sociation and a director of the Nat
tional Rivers and Harbors Congress.
During that time he has been an en-
thusiastic advocate of waterway i'm
proVement, his pleasing personality
and his intelligent appreciation of
the needs Of commerce for added
means OF transportation being large
ly instrumental in bringing about
waterway improvements beneficial TO
the whole country.
Our people are greatly interest
ed" said the Senator, 'in the plan
for an inside waterway from Cape
Cod to the Rio Grande and will do
everything possible to make this
dream reality; but while vitality in
terested in the whole scheme of an
intra-costal waterway, We are espec-
tally enthusiastic over the connecting
up of certain links in this waterway
chain. These links extend from New
Orleans, on the Mississippi river.
along the Gulf of Mexico to the west
coast of Florida, thence across my
own fair state to the Atlantic ocean,
connecting on the Atlantic coast with
the canal or inland waterway from
Key West to Boston.
"A favorable report has been
made by the army engineers on the
entire inland waterway from ST.
Georges Sound, on the west coast OF
the peninsula of Florida, to the Rio
Grande. The portion from Galveston
to Corpus Christi, in Texas is al
ready in operation and the pending
river and harbor bill makes prOvis-
ion for the sections from Corpus
Christi to the Rio Grande and from
Galveston to the Louisiana line.
In Louisiana chain of water
ways is already open from the Miss
issippi to the Mermentau river and
work is in progress westward from
the Mermentau to the Sabine river
which makes the boundary line be-
tween Texas and Louisiana.

Five routes have been surveyed

There is an inland waterway
from the st. Johns river to Key

pleasure yachts an1 boats of all
kinds, of which large numbers are

winter.
The Cape Cod canal is under con-
structiOn by private company and
the chief OF engineers has reported
favOrably on q continuous waterway

Of Beauford he recommends a depth
Of twelve feet, to be later increased
to twenty-five, and for the portion
south OF BeaufOrd a depth of seven
