D ow n The M ississip p i. Interest in water transportation will be greatly revived by the forth- comming trip of President Rooevelt, and a number of prominent states men who will travel down the Mis sissippi by the route which made that stream famous the world over. No other river on earth is so well known in song and story as this great waterway through the richest part of the United States. L ong before railroads were built along its banks an immense traffic was carried over every navigable portion of this wonderful stream. Out of its up per reaches floated snwlogs and lum ber of an aggregate value too great to bo computed, and hundreds of fine steamers afford the only means of communication between the thriv- j ing cities which the "river alone brought into existence, not only along the main artery,- but along the Missouri, the Ohio, the Wabash and a score of other navigable j branches of the big rivar. On the lower river in that land of perpetual Summer the river steam boat made possible the development of the great cotton, sugar and to bacco industries of the South. The Mississippi River drained an empire and it carried into the port of New Orleans a business greater in pro portion to the population involved than the railroads have ever since been able to divert to any one port in the United States. In those old days before the people had placed all of their faith in the railoads there were no car shortages. If the steamboat exacted a higher rate of freight than the producer cared to pay, there were hundreds and thou sands of independent flatboatmen operating all the way from New Or leans to St. Paul, and ready and willing to move freight without re gard to a tariff sheet or a gentle man’s agreement as to territory in volved. The right of way was for who eared to use it, and the per- fectiou of a monopoly was impossi ble. The grand old river still sweeps along on its 2000-mile course past thousands and hundreds of thou sands o f fine farms, past rich and populous cities, great factories and plantations,but that apparently end less procession o f steamboats, flat- boats and barges which in the early days carried the traffic of an empire are missing. It is for the purpose of replacing them and again open ing to every shipper a free and un obstructed highway from the Great Lakes to the sea that the members of the Waterways Convention now seek to awaken interest by their spectacular trip over more than a thousand miles of the best part of the great river. Water transportation is the only transportation in which monopolies are impossible, and with such vast interests at stake the sentiment now forming is almost certain to have a beneficial effect in securing the Fed eral aid needed to place, not only the Mississippi, but other navigable waterways of the country,' in con dition for handling the business originating in the territory travers ed.— Oregonian. Invitations were received by Myrtle Point friends last week ask ing their attendance at the marri age of Mr. George Rackleff of this city, and Miss Myrtle McDonald, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. Mc Donald, formerly of Myrtle Point, but now of Silverdale, Washington. The ceremony took place at the home of the bride’s parents at Sil- ; verdale on Wednesday, September j 25. Mr. Rackleff has recently ta ken a course at watchmaking and jewelry and has been employed at j the bench at Davenport and Ilwaco, { Washington, but his future inten- I tions an j where the young people will make their home have not been learned.
