To his delight, there were good

they were quite dry instead OF

additional transportation advantages.
Except for the remote future, river transportation
seems to be the eity's best chance and best hope.
Over in Alabama and along the lower section Of the
Tombgbee the Government has spent millions Of dollars
in making the Tombgbee and the Warrior rivers
navgable.
The project there is a test project The future

going depend largely the outcome and Of the
Warrior system
Cities like Birmingham and Mobile, and Tuscaloosa, are
spending millions of dollars promote the project This
money Independent Of what the Government is spending
They building wharyes and other terminal facilities
If the Warrior project pans out alright it is absolutely
certain that the upper Tombigbee viii be improved.
Now, the thing for Columbus and the Columbus terri
tory to do is to encourage and help the Warrior Every
ton Of freight routed the Warrior will go to the
credit of inland waterways and to the Tombgbee project
And too it saving of twenty per cent in freight
rates.
1t has been suggested that party of Columbus mer-
chants and business take trip the Warrior from
Tuscaloosa to Birmingham The Dispatch is in receipt of
letter from the headquarters in New Orleans
stating that such trip may be very easily arranged
II would bring business men in close touch with the
project and tend to greatly stimulate interest in river
development.
The only way in the world to get government improve
ment of our river is to keep everlastingly at it.
