So Says Jamea J. Hill in a Speech to
Conference that Created Great
Enthusiasm.
WasaiagtoB A notable feature of
the Rivers and 'Harbors congress
conveatioa bow ia" session in this city
was the address delivered by James
J. Hill aa president of- the Great
Northern Railway company, who was
iatroduced to the congress as "a wiz
ard of transportation and one of the
greatest railroad builders in' the
world." Mr. Hill created great en
thusiasm among the. 2,500 delegates
by declaring that the railroads of the
coaatry would support cordially any
proper plan for the development ot
the legitimate waterways of the Uni
ted States. He said that the traffic
of the country has become so great
and was increasing so tremendously
that It was beyond the physical power
of the railroads to handle it. He
made a most important and significant
statement of the attitude of the rail
road men towards legislation which
has beea declared against rail carriers
in America and declared that all the
railroads' asked, waa permission to
conduct their business in a proper
way, uader fair-regulations and fair
laws.
Notable addresses also were deliver
ed to the' congress by governors ot
states and by other men prominently
identified with the political and com
mercial life of the nation. Among
those present Thursday at the ses
sions of the convention were scores
of members of congress, upon whom
it is the desire of the convention (Sat
its ideas be particularly impressed.
The convention will conclude its work
Friday by the adoption of a series ot
resolutions incorporating its idea that
a comprehensive national scheme for
the improvement of the internal wter
ways of the country should be crystal
ized into law.
Chairman Ransdall, in presenting to
the congress Representative Theodore
E. Barton of Ohio, chairman of the
rivers and harbors committee of the
house of representatives, said that
the country had reached its present
high plane in the improvement of in
ternal waterways materially through
the efforts of Burton. The delegates
rose 'and cheered Mr. Burton heartily.
Mr. Burton declared that the move
ment for the improvement of tho in
land waterways had been stimulated
by the unparalleled growth of the
country in its resources. '
