Nicaragua Canal Debate From St Louis Echoes in North Carolina
Dr T D Hogg and W A Whitaker of Winston led North Carolina delegates to a national canal convention in St Louis with E J Hale and J B Burton named vice presidents. Hogg said the project would cut 10 000 miles from New York to San Francisco and 6 500 miles from Chile to the US east coast. Directors claim a 100 million price tag, 5 million spent, a 3 per cent bond plan, and a five year finish, with Nicaragua and Costa Rica concessions for 99 year terms and 25 per cent net profits thereafter. Health data favors Nicaragua route over Panama with fewer deaths and a healthful sea breeze. The US government declined a buyout offer and the directors have proposed a heavy bond-backed partnership structure with significant US representation on the board.

Canal idea praised by Dr Hogg and railroads cited
Dr Hogg extols a proposed canal as a money making venture with tolls per ton and compares costs with Suez. He predicts a $20,000,000 annual toll if funded differently and notes political party support. He cites improved Southern industry like iron coal cotton and phosphate plus farming drainage tile firms as signs of economic vitality.
