Deep Waterway Meeting Urges 14 Foot Illinois Gulf Route
Delegates at St Louis last week backed a 14 foot deep waterway linking the Great Lakes to the Gulf. The plan would cut shipping costs for farm and factory products, rival railroads, and unite northern and southern states with a single water route. Illinois coal output and employment figures for 1905 are reported, with West Virginia expected to rise in 1906.

Rare Bank Loot Scheme Shocks Pekin Officials
Examination of the defunct Tess Smith bank reveals a scheme by directors causing a $400000 loss to depositors. Most funds were loaned to bank officials for personal use. Derrick C. Smith reportedly had no investments in the bank for 16 years. The Smith Wagon and Plow Works owed about $405000 to the bank and Board of Trade pressures aided the failure. A week has been spent selecting jurors.
