Big Celebration Planned for the Opening of St, Andrews Bay Ditch, Which Is Near. Representative from Sumter County. - COLUMBUS, July 26.—A canal which means as much to the Chatta hoochee and Flint River Valleys as does the Panama Canal to the world will be completed about the same time as the tremendous project which will unite two oceans. Although this canal is not as tremendous, it will be as wet and as blue, and the people of Georgia, Alabama and Florida will re joice over its completion with the fame acclaim a3 the world will re joice over the passage of the first vessel through the Isthmian ditch. The opening of the St. Andrews Bay Canal, which will serve the Apa lachicola River system, connecting with the bay of that name and the Gulf of Mexico, is one of the most important waterway projects of the day. Nearly 2,000,000 people will be affected—$30,000,000 worth of com merce is waiting for the Government to say, ‘All is ready.” Big Celebration Planned. The Columbus Board of Trade has committed itself to a celebration on the date of the opening of the canal. It has a year to think things out, and already there have been suggestions in plenty. Congress will be memorial ized for national recognition of the event. Columbus will not celebrate alone. Girard, Phoenix City, Eufaula, Fort Gaines, Blountstown. Bristol, Apa lachicola, Panama City, Carabelle, Bainbridge. Newton, Albany. Marian - ra, Chipola and maybe Pensacola, Mo bile, New Orleans, Tampa and Key West will enter into the spirit, and if the combined noise of three States and the Government of the United States can not be heard around the globe, it is because the people of the Southland have forgotten how to yell. The St. Andrews Bay Canal project was approved February 1, 1910. pro viding for a depth to admit passage 1 of river steamers and lighter craft, j It will be necessary to transship all j goods for or from deep sea vessels at St Andrews or Panama City or wher- j ever tefminals may be erected here- j after. The cost of the project, will | exceed $500,000, and the money ha* i been appropriated to complete the | work. The last rivers and harbors bill carried tbe last $139,000. Commerce to Rise in Millions. The Apalachicola River, formed at River Junction, Fla., by the Flint and the Chattahoochee Rivers, is 137 miles long. The Chattahoochee is naviga ble to Columbus, a distance of 163 miles. The Flint is navigable to Bainbridge and during medium low water to Albany. Ga„ a .distance of 105 miles. Thu Chipola is navigable for a distance of 65 miles. The total navigable length of the river system 4-n roiioe The length of the canal is 470 miles, is 30 miles. The commerce of the rivers which will feed the canal amounted to $15,- 7S4 029 in 1911, and has been growing at 'the rate of $1.500.<W> for some rears That this commerce will be doubled when the territory tributary to the rivers has an all-water rt ut K oes without saying, not taking into account the increase of population along the rivers.

It was suggested that a prayer serv ice be held at the Baptist Church, the proposition meeting with instant approval.

R. R. Agents Confer With Commission COLUMBUS, July 26.—Through the combined efforts of the Columbus Board of Trade and other interests of the city there is a probability of Columbus being placed on the South ern Auto Route. Step® have been taken by the board,, ably assisted by the owmers of auto mobiles in Columbus, because It is realized that Columbus and this en tire section are suffering from the la^k of publicity which could be obtained by the route. While the Board of Trade is tak ing the forward step in the move ment, the task of working out de tails has been turned over to th rj streets and roads committee of that organization. Five routes have been proposed, leading out from Columbus, two of which go to Atlanta, one to Opelika. Ala., one to the southeast and the other to the east. The routes pro posed to Atlanta are: First, from Columbus to Warm Springs, thence to Woodbury, on to Griffin, where it will connect with the National High way from New York to Florida, and from there to Atlanta over that road The other route is from Columbus to Hamilton. Greenville and Newnan into Atlanta. The route westward is to Opelika where it is proposed to have the route from this city connect with the Mont gomery route. The route to the east leaves Columbus via Buena Vista, El- laville, Montezuma to Macon, and there connects with the National Highway to Florida points. A direct route to Florida is proposed by Coun ty Road Engineer Ju’ian Lane, of Muscogee County, leaving Columbus via Buena Vista, Ellaville, Americus to Thomasvill® on to Florida. The autoists who travel over these routes will get the topography, learn all of the dangerous places and sharp curves in the roads, and, in fact, ob tain all the information that is deemed necessary. In this connection it is of interest possibly to a great portion of the State to know that Frank Batey, a well-known Savannah good roads en thusiast, i« having a map of the roads of Georgia and Northern Florida r>r^- pared and has written County Engi neer Lane for a cop” of the roads of Muscogee County in order that ne may knovv^what connection they have with other roads. The automobile owners of Musco gee County are delighted over the prospect of Columbus being placed on the Southern Auto Route.
