Dedication by President Roosevelt May 27 of the Lakes-to-Gulf Waterway will >aazk the culmination of a 33- Fear fight by Speaker Rainey for de- ‘weicpment of the vast project, esti- mated to be of immeasurable benefit to commerce in the Mississippi Valley. ‘When Rainey accompanies the Presi- dent to Chicago in three weeks to help open the waterway formally, he will see unfolded the final round of the fight he launched back in 1904 to af- ford Great Lakes commerce a deep- water outlet to the GeiZ. ©Organized Local Clubs, 1t *~as 33 years ago this Summer that Rainé7, acompanied by former Senator ‘William Lorimer and the late Repre- sentative Martin M. Madden of Illinois, journeyed over the proposed route of the waterway to prove its feasibility and to crystallize public sentiment in favor of the project. In every town along the way, the three organized local clubs to lead the fight for the project and Jater created the Lakes-to-Gulf Water- ¥ay Association. Rainey next campaigned throughout the State for an amendment to enable llinois to bond itself for the construc- tion. “At the polls,” Rainey recalled, “the amendment carried by over 763,- 000, the largest majority any proposi- tion had received before or since.” But his fight had only begun. ‘Waterpower companies contested the right cf the State to bulld the water- way and Rainey had to carry the battle to the U. S. Supreme Court to triamph finally. In the highest court, he proved the power companies to be making illegal use df the Des Plaines River, showing that the stream was navigable and the r people had not complied with obtaining a Federal license. rangements for the dedication ex- ercises are in charge of Representative Frank R. Reid of Illinois, president of the National Rivers and Harbors Con- gress, -and vice chairman of the Mem- bers of Congress Committee on the dedication. It was Rainey and Reed, in company with a group of other com- mittee members, who called on Mr. Roosevelt last week and obtained his promise to dedicate the waterway. | ARMY ORDERS Maj. Isaac J.
