Washington, D. C., Oct. 24.—
Every river and harbor improvement
gathering this year has abundantly
lemonstrated the very general in
:erest in the country in the utiliza
iion o fthe waterways, inland and
'oast-wi'e, to meet the emergencies
)f the growing commerce of the
United States. The meeting of all
the coordinate associations have in
iicated a livelier interest than ever
l>eore in waterway highways of
transportation, and the indications
ire that the ninth annual meeting
if the National Rivers and Harbors
Congress will be more largely at
tended than ever.
The congress will be in session in
this city December 4, 5 and 6.
With every political party com
mitted by declaration to a more lib
eral policy of river and harbor im
provement, and with the Panama
canal, the great triumph of engineer
ing, the pride of Americans and the
latest world’s wonder, nearing its
assured completiotion, there is a
nation wide conviction that there
should be no more hesitation or de
lay in perfecting national waterway
improvements.
Nor should there be any hesita
tion in emphasizing the position
taken by the river and harbor com
mittee of the house in passing an
annual river and harbor bill, for al
ready the railroads are feeling the
stress o ffreight congestion due to
the demands of shippers to move the
enormous crops which a bencficient
Providence has given to us this year,
experts estimating that the farm
value of this year production will
reach the enormous aggregate of
$10,000,000,088.

which entered the anterior portion
of the groin below the right hip
