Renewed drive for Mississippi deep water channel to Gulf
An Upper Mississippi Improvement association urges deepening to Cairo with a six foot low water channel from St Paul to New Orleans aided by Panama Canal prospects. Officials note over 8 million dollars has already been spent on upper river works including the Keokuk lower rapids canal. Proponents cite vast agricultural, lumber, and tonnage potential if ships can load at St Paul and Minneapolis and ship to foreign ports, reducing costs and reviving river commerce.
