Ail druggist Advertisement HAKE MISSOURI RIYER MYIGABLE Delegate! from Territory Drained by the Stream Meet at Kanai City to Push Project GROWTH OF TRAFFIC CITED KANSAS CITT. Mo.. Oct 1-The Mis souri valley's struggle for a continuance of government support In Improving; the Missouri river was continued here today, hen" scores of representatives of elvlc organisations, shippers and farmers ap peared before a board of army engineers to show why the board shou'd not adopt the report of Lieutenant Colonel Herbert Deakyne. who. In April. 1915. recom mended that tha $20000.000 project for Improvement of the waterway be abnn iloned as impracticable. Over 100 persons from the territory drained by tha river and from tributary districts affected by a change in govern ment policy towa.d it were lit tha Com mercial club rooms when the board con vened. V. P. Borland, representative In congress from tha Fifth Missouri d's trlct. on behalf of the supporters ot the river, presented a lengthy brief review ing the history of tha stream. It con tained testimony from farmers, shippers and commercial organisations setting forth reasons for continued Improvement of the river. Will how the Board. "We Intend to show this board," said Representative Borland, "that the move ment of traffic on the Missouri river be-I tween Kansas City and St. Louis has grown more rapidly than tha improve ments of tha river by the government have progressed. That notwithstanding the disadvantages of navigation on a par tially Improved river, commerce haa shown a marked increase each season as tha shipping public became familiar with tha advantage and cheapness of water transportation. "The growth from 1914 to 1915 was 142 per cent. Much of tha traffic moving down stream is the surplus agricultural products of tha states west of tha river. Thesa products mova in their natural state, as bulk wheat for export, or in a manufactured state, aa flour and feed. Tha Increase of tonnage on incoming freight has been of high grade merchan dise such as dry goods, pianos and shoes, "There Is not an inland waterway la the United States today showing as large a percentage of trafflo In high grade merchandise as tha Missouri river be tween Kansas City and St. Louis. Tha stream is in tha direct Una of east and west trafflo and necessarily Influences rates on all of the country to tha west and south of it. We shall show further that the growth of trafflo In this terri tory la rapidly exceeding tha rail facili ties, and the river is needed as an addi tional and highly expansive means of communication. Shortage of Cars. "A great shortage of cars is occurring this fall on all the western railroads. An additional Una of railroad from Kansas City to St. Louis would cost almost as much as the $20,000,000 necessary to Im prove tha river and would not furnish equal facilities. Wa expect to show, in addition, that tha sudden lowering of ratea by tha opening of tha Panama canal will force manufacturers and job bers to the Atlantic seaboard If they are competing for any foreign or Pacific coast trade. It will be a relative disad vantage to tha manufacturers In tha Mississippi valley, between tha Alleghen les and the Rockies, unless a general sys tem of water transportation through tha gulf ports can be connected with the Panama canal. "To abandon the Improvement of tha inland waterways at this time is to kill the growth in tha Mississippi valley," Today's hearing grew out of an act passed by congress March 4. 1815, provid ing for a re-examlnatioa of several river projects for which congress had previ ously made provision. The report of the board will go to tha chief engineer In charge of river im provement and la expected to govern his recommendation to congress. An adverse report. It was said, might mean tha striking out of provisions for tha Mis souri river in the rivers and harbors bill of the next congress.
