- Seac S S — e e Ry =SSN CHEAP TRANSPORTATION The Supreme Question of the Hour. Call for the Mississippi River Im« provement Convention. The Merchants' exchange, of Kt. Louis, through the undersigned, its executive committee duly appointed, hereby issues a call to the people of the Mississippi valley for the selection of delegates to a convention to be | held in theit city on the 20th day of October, 1881, to deliberate on the question of improving the great Mis- sissippi river and its navigable tribu- taries. The call is made in pursuance of a general desire, communicated through the press, emanating from various commercial bodic ognizing the importance of united and intelli- ¢ nt action on a subject of the most vital importance, and fixing upon St. Louis, the central city of the valley, as the proper place for holding the convention, The rapid growth and settlement | of the Mississippi valley and with it | the development and enlargement, of the export trade, a trade made up in largely controlling proportions of its products, has forced upon the thought of the country the question of cheap transportation. All the later commer’ cial and trade experiences have dem- | onstrated that only by the cheap water | route can this question be so placed, | as 1 its tdsultant influences to repre- | sent and_embrace fair profit to the farmer, the manufacturer and mer- chant, the classes through which all others become participant in the prof- its of industry. The necessity of improving these navigable streams, and the correla- tive duty of the general government to give its aid as to a great national work is derived from a consideration of their functions in the commerce and trade of the country. Within the area of states and territories drained by the Mississippi and its navigable tributaries is produced nine per cent. of the corn, 73 per cent of the wheat, 83 per cent. of the oats, 64 per cént of the tobacco, 77 per cent. of the «cotton and 66 per cent of the value of the live hogs of the whole country. In addition to the vast supply of food -and textile products the abundance of coal, iron and timber mark it as the seat of manufacturing industries, the the great and unquestioned source of American production and national revenue, Evyen in the bresent imperfect con- dition of navigation, one seventh of the amount of this vast production which enters intc the export trade of the country, goes to the ocean by way of the Mississippt river at a cost of less than one-third at which it can be carried by any other route. When it is remembered that this region has, in the later years, fur- nished to the markets of the world, the products which have changed the balances of tradé in our favor, and made us among kindred commercial races the creditor instead ot the debt- or nation, the necessity for united and intelligent *work on the part of its people and of liberal and comprehen- sive action on the part of the national legislature in the improvement of these water-ways becolaes too apparent for argument, With channels made eqnal to the demands of trade from the highest point of navigation in these great na- tional arteries to the gulf, maintained throughout the year in successful competition with the trunk lines of ratlroad, the question of cheap trans- portation, the supreme question of the lour, the foundation to all future prosperity, is settled and the country will enter upon a new career of pro- gress. We may regard with some satis- faction what has been accomplished in reducing the cost of transportation, yet what has been witnessed is but a tithe of what may be anticipated in the future, when the river system uu- under wise method and liberal appro- priations is placed as its matchless value descrves, its power of devel- opment demands, With even more satisfaction may we regard the advanced thought which now requires that the improvement of the great river shall stand as a nation- al work on its own merits and uncon- nected with any other subject or ob- ject of appropriation. In view of the magnitude of the interests involved and the results to be attained, we cordially and earnestly invite the various boards of trade of the valley so largely interested in these results, as well as those from communities outside th2 valley, who appreciate the scope of the conven- tion, to send delegates fully penetrat- ed with the necessity of action, and with ability to represent the great in- terosts at stake, The convention will be composed of delegates from the states and territo- ries in the Mississippi valley, govern- ors being hereby authorized and re- quested to appoint ten from each state and five from each territory, From each board of trade or cotton exchange two delegates for each 100 members, said bodies to be entttled to at least two delegates. . From corporate cities of the Missis- sippi valley, where no boards or ex- changes exist, two delegates from each to be appointed by the mayor of said city. The president and vice-president of the United' States, members of the cabinet, senators and representatives in congress and governors of states and territories will be invited as guests of the covention and assigned seats on the floor during its delibera- tions.

Hazen as chief of the United States signal service. Would | you— " “Would I *interrupted Mr Vennor. **No, sir, T would not; most emphatically T would not. T saw 'lwl dispatch you referred to printed in the | Tunes of this morning, but nothing | will Has not the tel . Probably it 8l come of it foundation? Correspondence touching the matter has reached me from high sources, but I assure you 1 have not for a moment given the subject any serious consideration, You' see my system is so very different from that of the United States signal service that 1 should really be out of placein the position hield by Gen. Hazen,” “Mr. Vennor, tell me something ot your methods. That is a subject of which the public—in this part of the world, at least —know nothing.” “My methods! That would be a long story, It is a story, too, that is hard to tell in words. You ask me to try what I have never heretofore at- tempted. In brief, the basis of my work is the result of observation and the comparison of cause with cause, eftect with effect, season with season. It is a mere matter of relationships. Now, all this sounds abstruce, don’t it/ And 1 detest high-sounding phrases and abstruseness—detest them above ull things. All my life an active worker, and ever engaged in out-door emp oyments, it is no won- der that I became interested in the weather and made endeavors to fore- cast it,” remarked the Canadian after a thoughtful pause. “I claim no special gift. What T do and have dome is the result of persistent study and directing others’ labors. 1 dis covered one fact, and proving it to be a fact beyond question or dispute, 1 have built upon it—and but safely, 1 think. Vhat was that discovery! Just this: That seasons and years recur in couplets and triads, Rules applicable to the first season or year of a couplet are equally applicable to the second season or year of that couplet, and precisely so of the triads, Such is the 1nain superstructure of my work. But 1 soon found that the systern was not bound down to a mere generality,” embracing only a scason or year inits entirety. Kxperiment evidenced that the same calculations could be made for a month, and that, too, with an exactness that at first And T appeared to be surprising. pursued my work still further, until nowI donot hesitate to bring my caloulations within a weck. Yes, lave been able to designate par- ticular days. That is usually my rule in the text of my predic- tions. But the public should under- stand that, except in special cages, I never risk eyerything upon any single twenty-four hours. 1 have not yet reached that point in my system, although there 1s no telling what will be accomplished in the near future. My experience long ago impressed 1me with the force of the recurrence of periods of similar weather, and to my personal experience 1 have added the authentic records of three-quarters of a century. Those records cover Can- ada end the United States. They are practically complete, and they uphold my theories. Upon them, in fact, to no small extent, do I depend for everything. Sometimes I am bothered by my inability to decide whether 1 have entered a couplet or triad of sea- sons, and until that matter is settled I am all at sea and quite as likely to be wrong as right. Now, an instance of that was the winter of 1880, when, you will remember, T declined to say anything positively. T was in doubt upon many phases of the then occur ing weather, and was unwilling to make any forecast. You will bear in mind the circumstances, There w the strangest of weather. But the instances in which I have been obliged to forego my predictions are wonder- fully few. Sucha miss is not possible once in a thousand times,” “How do you manage with your headxuarters in Montreal to map out the weather for New York and other parts of the United States?”’ asked the reporter. “Itis just there that the special virtue of comparison comes in,” was the quick reply. ‘‘Montreal is my ‘centre,’ as I call it. From that ‘cen- tre’ all my observations are taken and all my calculations made. The sur- roundings of Montreal and the in- fluences that extend from that point are my primal means of declaring re sults, next to the teachings of the records of which I have told you. The conscquences of influences reach- ing out from Montreal apparent to one who knows intimately the in fluences themselves. And so far as | those influences extend, so far can they be traced understandingly and made the basis of calculations as close any possible at their very point of origin. The relation of weather in Canada to weather in the United | States has heen one of my most fasei as sure to prevail in the middle states, in New England, and at other points, in localities larger or smaller, as may appear, in exact accordance with es. tablished rules touching the weather known at my ‘centre,’ Montreal. Just now I have not the time to recite those rules—the various relations and the similarities and centrasts, Re cently 1 have given more than ordi- nary attention to the weather of the states, and no change of temperature of storm ig allowed to be passed by unrecorded in my office. I would like to have you visit my headquar ters in Montreal; you would find it in toresting, Aside from that part of my bureau covering Canada you would see with what eare I am gath- ering facts relating to the states Nearly all of the principal newspapers of the union reach me, and I have as: sistants whose special duty ‘it is to read the journals and clip out every reference to the weather and con nected subjects. All this data is cat- alogued ready for reference and use.” “When did you first set up in the prophet business /" questioned the re- porter, ““That is rather hard to state. For ars I had been associated with the nadian geological survey, and, 1o a greater or less extont, alwa was, making predictions. 1 had got hold of my theory, and was developing it. that I dared to make my first noteworthy forecast. sarly in the autumn 1 published in an em- phatic manner the prediciion that Montreal society men would make their next New Year's calls on wheols, and that rubber, instead of moccasins, would be the order of the day, Every- body laughed at me-the newspapers held me up as a butt of ridicule, The winters for several years past had been extremely severe, and my pro- diction rated on all sides as the summit of absurdity, But [ stolidly stood it all. And when New Year's came, wagons on wheels and men without their moccasing filled the streets, I was happy; the press be- came kindlier, and my friends began to pat me on the back. Later 1 dis- solved my connection with the geolog- ical survey, end recently, as engineer, T have been interested 1n_ phosphate mines in the Dominion. But I have never allowed other business to take me from my favorite study. My weather work is growing constantly, and has now reached almost startling proportions. Yet it brings me in not a single penny. All is outgo. The expenses come wholly from my private purse. " “You said a moment ago,” re- marked the reporter, ‘that you as yet claimed to forecast only within a week. Do you expect to be able soon to make closer caleulations ? “Of that I would rather not speak at this time. But, to be honest, T assure you it is my belief that only the good Lord can tell what is to hap- pen in the future to the exact hour orday. Now, the United States sig- nal service works on a system decid- ly ditferent from that of mine, and there is no reason, none whatever, why it should ever make any mistake, however trivial. Oh, don’t T wish I had the facilities your officers have at command. 1 think I could make a big record. Your signal force, 1 see, has recently been indulging in criti- cisms of me wnd my system. Not only are they ungenerous, but they seem to be willing to do me a wrong. They talk much about ‘verifying’ my forecasts, when the truth is they have never had opportunities forsuch veri- fication. They have never, in a sin- gle instance, directly received a pre- diction as originally made by me, but they pick up my forecasts after they have floated about in your newspapers, and then, when they are old, proceed to pass upon them. Somebody has charged that not half of my forecasts are correct. That is false, absolutely, maliciously false. But we will dis- miss this subject.” “What sort of weather will you give u e coming winter?” Phe winter of 1882 it is yet im- orecast, 1 am wavering f points, and find myself unable o decide whether there is to be cold weather and light snow falls in New York, with more snow in Canada, or whether the season is to be a dupli- cation of last your.”—TInterview in the New York Tun A Marvelous Cure 11 hodi! i m im- purity of blood, a torpid li cgularity of the bowels, indigestion. constipation or disordercd kidneys, is warranted in a free use of Burdock Blood Bitters, P $1.
