ureal Laktt-at. Lawrence
Project, Saya Harding.
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." '

Rate Conference
New Secretary of
Husker Alumni
Governor Urges Planned
Meeting to Discuss Pres
ent Situation.
1.IC
Lincoln, Ncbj, Sept. 26. A pro
posed conference of governors from
the states of Michigan, Wisconsin,
Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska, Colo
rado, North Dakota and South Da
kota, for the purpose of considering
the freight rate situation and unem
ployment, contained in a letter to
Governor McKelvie of Nebraska
from Governor Kendall of Iowa, to
he held at Des Moines, at the con
venience of all executives, today was
urged by Governor McKelvie in
reply to the Iowa executive's letter.
"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.

to flood causes in that region.
"Secretary Fall is out west get
ting acquainted . with all the depart
ments with which he comes in con-
tact,"-Mr. Holdrege said. "Mr. Fall
is a western man, but had never
thoroughly studied conditions in the
northwest His trip has taken him
to practically every national park on
the west coast and every reclamation
project under way.
According to Mr. Holdrege, crops
m the western part of the state
where semi-arid and dry farming is
done on a large scale ar good.
"All the projects are being well

"Just as soon as the waste lands are
reclaimed they are opened by the
government for settlement.
Mr. Holdrege retired as manager
of the Burlington last spring after
