Cheyenne. Wyo., fpt. :6.-(Spc-ti.l) "New York City, Buffalo and the Erie canal management are the only onea fighting effort to act a rieep waterway from the Great Lake to the Atlantic ocean." averted former Cov. W. L. Harding of Iowa, one of the waterway too.tera, who addressed business men of Cheyenne and atatt official! in the office of the Wyoming covernor. "The F.rie canal has been a po litical foot ball for year." he aaid. "In main aim in lite hai been to provide job for worn-out politicians. New York hat adopted a narrow, contracted attitude. If the people of that city can't stand alone, let 'em (all into the ocean. We of the west have paid totla to them long enough. We have a. right to live. We are entitled to a cheap route to the mar ket of the world." Muat Have Waterway. ''There never has been and there never will be, a great commercial nation without direct communication with the ocean," aaid Mr. Harding. "Only a email part the southern of the Missisdippi valley, the back bone of the United States, now has auch communication. And we have reached our limit. Up to the pres ent time wc have been growing rich by using tip nature's resources. But if we make money in the future we must enter the competitive field gainst the other two sections, the one lying east of the Allcghenies and the other west of the Rocky mount ains." A deeo waterway between Chicago msI k i a t Am tainACil hat rn1at1- would bring the European markets 1,000 miles nearer the west, and would aave both time and money. Owing to the time lost in terminals, 1 e said, the present average speed of a freight car is only 12 miles a day. Ocean-going vessels, running 24 hours a day and'at a minimum speed f 10 milea an hour, would carry the products of the west at least 240 miles a day 20 times the rate main tained by rail. Price Fixed at Liverpool. . The price of Wyoming wheat, he said, is fixed at Liverpool. It is the market price there, less what it costs to ' transport the grain from Wyoming to Liverpool. Every S cents lopped off the cost of trans portation adds 5 cents to the price paid here. The same thing holds true of other grains and in other western states, he asserted. Charles P. Craig of Huluth, execu tive director of the Great Lakes-St. f attrrni- Tlilinvafr accniatinn. said: "This thing can be put through In four years if Wyoming and its sister states get up on their hind legs and demand it. Economic necessity will bring it in 25 years, but that's too far away."

"The earlier it can be held the bet ter," Governor McKelvie said. Governor Kendall's letter stated a conference to consider these two situations and "other vital subjects which affect the prosperity of this section of the country" should be convened without delay and "if the program commands your approval, I will assume the initiative of calling it for Des Moines at such date as may be most conenient to the gov ernors affected." Governor McKelvie said that while the unemployment situation in Ne braska at this time was not such a rates and better credit accommoda tions to the farmer is of great im portance. The governor suggests the proposed conference take up the matter of interest rates of the fed eral reserve bank in anticipation of getting rediscount rates reduced.
