New Orleans, La., October 31. —“The plan for a deep waterway is an ac complished fact. What we need is ac tion.” declared W. K. Kavanagh, pres ident of the Lakes-to-the-Gulf Deep Waterway association, in his address at the opening of its convention yes terday. “The history of the Mississ ippi river has been a story of inac tion and of niggardly appropriations, which have been fought through the rivers and harbors committee, and through congress without rhyme or reason,” said the speaker. ‘‘The whole valley is sick with the conges tion of its transportation system, and only this deep waterway can relieve it. The people of the Mississippi valley must have definite assurance that this carrier is to be completed at a certain date, and that date must not be much more remote than the com pletion of the Panama canal.’’ Mr. Kavanagh said that the people looked to President Taft for the exe cution of the great task. He referred to the executive trip down the river, saying: “He has seen the richest farm lands in the world crumbling from its banks dissolving in its waters; he has seen ! levees that protect 32.000 square miles of this rich alluvial threatened by these caving banks; he has seen the remains of uncompleted revetments that have been tom away by the river, because a neglectful congress has not provided for their completion, and he has seen a thousand-mile channel un burdened by a single modern vessel, the docks of its .many cities unmarked by a single installation of modern ter minal apparatus. “There was a day when the Mississ ippi was considered an untamable stream, which shifted its channel and devoured its banks at will. Today we are ablo to show the president of the F-nited States two remarkable changes one of these is a river which, in its most difficult and most readily shifting parts, has been bound down by the engineers to a fixed channel, with rermanent banks; that has been forced to scour its own bed, and per mit the passing of deeper ships. “The other is a great garden land of soil worth from to S2OO an acre, capable of producing in crops every year enough monej’ to pay many times over the entire cost of producing a 14-foot channel from Chicago to New Orleans, and this soil protected from waste only by those same engineering devices which have held the river in its fixed bed and which make the deep waterway. “We have shown him this, and now we are ready to ask him to extend the revetments which do this work in to every bend on the Mississippi, and to carry this waterway and the pro tection of farm lands adjacent to it throughout the course of the Mississ ippi- Mr. Kavanagh said: “Engineers have surveyed the route, and have declared a deep waterway feasible and easy of accomplishment. The best civil engineers have declared it inevitable,” he said. "Chicago has spent $00,000,000 cutting the channel through the rocky divide, and Illinois is spending $20,000,000 to step it by locks down to the soft-bottom portion of the Illinois river” the speaker de clared. “From there to the gulf the way is clear and the plans are ready.” Mr, Kavanagh quoted President Taft as having said that in order to solve the transportation problem we must have recourse to our waterways, and continued: “The problems of transportation multiply with the in crease of prosperity, and the presi dent of the nation who is so certain that waterways are the solution of our trouble is the very one who is the most determined to lead us on i to the greatest increase of prosperity. Prosperity demands a guarantee of this: that whatever turn the general plans for the conservation of water may take, the project for the 14-fool Lakes-to-the-Gulf Deep Waterway shall be adopted and pushed on to completion. The speaker declared that the sen timent of the Mississippi valley is so determined on this project that a con gressman who would refuse to sane tion it could not be returned to Wash ington. “There is,” he said, “no longer doubt but that the great majority of our people not only favor but are en thusiastically determined upon the de velopment of our waterways, and first of all upon the 14-foot deep waterway from the lakes to the gulf. The question, “Dr- the people rule? ’ will be answered, he asserted, when congress meets and its members vote yes or no upon the question of the im mediate execution of the plans for the 14-foot channel. “Many of us who believe strongly in the future of the valley have al ready incorporated and set about building up a large line to use the most modern types of boats and to erect at every city terminal docks or the best European type. In ten years, we hope to be carrying 20,000,000 tons of freight.” DEATH OF LAST REAL D. A. R. Passes Away at Greenville Aged Sev enty-Nine Years, Appleton.
