WHITE RIVER.

With an Expenditure of #1,000,000 It Can Be Made Navigable. . The committee appointed by the Commercial Club of Indianapolis to investigate the west fork of White river report that with an expenditure of $1,000,000 the river can be made navigable from Indianapolis down. t Summary of the report: T. That the west fork of White river, from Indianapolis to the mouth thereof, is capable of being made navigable all the year round at a reasonable expenditure of monev as compared with similar river improvements heretofore made or now in project by the U. S. government. 2. That said river runs diagonally through the southwest quarter, of Indiana which contains along said river unusual mineral resources, such as almost unlimited supplies of good coal, building stone, ^fireclay, brick shale and molding sand, and iron ore in workable quantities in places, and also an extremely rich agricultural region, yielding immense quantities of corn, wheat and other agricultural products and live stock. 3. That said river has a large population along it and will prove an outlet to the Mississippi and all its tributaries for the extensive manufacturing and commercial interests of the people of Indianapolis, whose 6 population is now 200,000 and is rapidly increasing, and of the people of southwest quarter of the state. V 4. That the benefits w-hich will be derived from such an unmonopolizable commercial highway flowing through a region so rich in agricultural and mineral resources and subserving so vast a population arid such large manufacturing and commercial interests and leading into the Mississippi river system will far exceed a reasonable return for the money necessary to improve said river. 5. That the improvement of said river in order to bring cheap fuel to Indianapolis for manufacturing purposes and to give Indianapolis a: cheap traffic outlet to the whole Mississippi valley is necessary to the commercial welfare of said city and the state of Indiana. , > /"• Therefore, your committee most f earnestly recommend the Commercial club, and all ethers interested in this great improvement, to urge congress to make an appropriation not only for a survey of said river, but for the immediate improvement thereof, and to that end recommend an appropria- * tion at once of $1,000,000. Prevented A Tragedy. Timely information given Mrs. * George Long, of New Straitsville, Ohio, prevented a dreadful tragedy and saved two lives, A ^frightful cough had long kept her awake every night.
