NAVIGABLE RIVER DUE PENNSYLVANIA [Continued from First Page.] it irrigates some of the richest farm lands in the United States and courses through the great anthra cite coal fields. In these speeches and in his later discussion of the inland water ways Mr. Moore shows a familiarity with the Susquehanna river and its possibilities which justifies his leadership in the development of these natural transportation sys tems. His research has brought to light some interesting facts regard ing the early movements to make navigable the Susquehanna river and its main tributaries. River Not Closed In presenting the subject to Con gress he called attention to the fact that the McCall's Ferry dam, con structed by a private corporation at a cost of $10,000,000. would never have been built but for the action of House lmperial C j!j S Nestle's Eskay's Denno's Olivilo Wood- Resinol Cuticura Germicidal Palmolive Jergen's Poslam Packer's Milk vjranum Milk- Food Food Food o bury's ?

S. Army, declared that the former decision was merely a departmental ruling and the question had not been ad judicated by the courts. As early as his speech on the subject in 1914 Mr. Moore declared that the im provement of the Susquehanna river was an important question en- i tering into the cost of living, hav- 1 ing special reference to the cheapen- i ing of the transportation cost of J ! fuel. He contended in his discus- I | sion of the matter l>efore t Congress ■ that any action removing the Sua- J i quehanna river north of the Mary land line from the jurisdiction of ' | the War Department was unfair and j , ought to be revoked and that the j ! arbitrary closing of the river at Mc- t j Call's Ferry should be promptly un- i j done by compelling the power com- ) i pany to install a lock or other pas- j jsageway for navigation. Mr. Moore's bill declaring the ! ' Susquehanna and its tributaries | 1 navigable was introduced October : 22, 1913, and the foregoing speech ' j to which allusion has been made was 1 jin support of this measure. He | i thought the river should be made j j navigable for the people from its j i headwaters to the Chesapeake Bay , and tinder date of June 8, 1914, the ! final ruling was made restoring the | ; Susquehanna to the jurisdiction of ; : the War Department so that no dams j or bridges could he built without! | consent of the government. In this decision it was practically deter | mined that the consent of Congress under existing law must be ob : tained for the construction of a 1 dam or bridge across the river. Study of Project Replying to a letter from the Tele ; graph requesting his views on the ; impending survey of the Susque ; lianna river by the engineers of the : War Department, Mr. Moore gives | some interesting information well I | worth the study of all interested in the big proposition: "Dour Mr. Stackpole: Answering , your favor of July 2 9 with regard ! to the proposed survey of the Sus -1 quehanna river, 1 would advise you : that along with Congressmen Griest ■ and Kreider 1 am very much inter j ested in this proposition. My in ' terest dates back to the organization 1 of the Atlantic Deeper Waterways j Association which stands for the j development of our transportation I system and for the proper and wise j utilization of our interior water j ways. Several times I have spoken | on the subject of the Susquehanna I with regard to the advisability of a 5 survey to ascertain whether the ; river could be made navigable by ! canalization or otherwise. This j question is a live one, particularly | because the river is completely shut | off at McCall's Ferry where there i ! should be at least a lock to permit I I vessels to pass up and down. The j | government, of course, moves slow- j !ly in undertaking great projects j I like this. But if Harrisburg could i be made a. seaport by the improve- | ment of the Susquehanna river or j j that improvement should be car- I | ried north into the coal fields of [ ' Pennsylvania, and up to some of the i HARRISBURG TELEGKSPE factories of New York, it certainly would be worth while. "It is amazing that the Susque hanna, which was once used exten sively for transportation purposes, has been permitted to slumber as dead as a door nail so far as it might be useful as a medium of transportation to the r—n. What is the matter with the river? It is one of the most picturesque in the world. Transportation critics lind fault with it because it is rocky, yet rocks have been overcome in other rivers, and to get around rapids such ex penditures have been made by the government on such rivers as the Columbia as would put the great burden-bearing river Delaware to shame. "I have not time now to look up all the details, but 1 am send ing you some material on the sub ject. I think the best efforts of all the commercial bodies along the Susquehanna river should be put forward to aid the United Stutes Army engineers in determining whether it would be worth while for the • government to undertake the improvement of our magnificent midstate stream. Bear in mind that this is no local project. The river rises in New York, courses through Pennsylvania, spreading its arms in every direction, and bisects the State of Maryland, emptying into one of the most magnificent bays in the whole world, the Chesapeake, which leads to the ocean and to waters north and south that would make barge traffic possible from the city of Harrisburg to all points north and south along the Atlantic coast, and would give Harrisburg direct water communication with cities like New York and Philadelphia, Baltimore and Norfolk.

And yet the improvement of the Susquehanna for coal-carrying purposes need not unduly interfere with or minimize the Importance of railroad trans portation. It would, in fact, tend to facilitate it, while it would also give to the community two means of transportation where it now has but one.

By means of a survey the War Department will be able to report to Congress whether the im provement of the river is feasible or expedient from the Federal view point. Those coriducting the sur vey must necessarily get their in formation from the people along the route. The businessmen and shippers can help materially in this regard. I assume the engineers will be quick to note the rocky condi tion of the river and the very great cost of dredging or blasting. Some obstructionists have contended that the project of improvement would be made ridiculous because of those supposed insurmountable difliculties. But every man who has studied the waterways situation knows that AUGUST 1, 1919. such problems .are met In another way; that canalization takes the place of dredging nnd that the utilization of slack water behind dams will provide navigation. Put locks tn the dam to MeCall's Ferry so boats can go through, and buihl a few more dams along the Sus quehanna backing up the water over the rocks, and Harrisburg wotdd be able to reach the sea by boat. 1 as sume the engineers will report upon these things, and that their report will depend largely upon the evi dence adduced along the line with regard to the commercial advantages presented and the estimated cost of improvement.
