Capta n Sam Wright Talks
Paris, Tex., Oct, 15.—After the
reading of the minutes of the first i
day of Bed River Improvement j
Convention by Secretary Coons of
Denison, President Sheppard in-
troduced Captain Sam Wright of
Paris, who spoke for an hour on
reminisccuses of Red river naviga-
tion. Captain Wright was very
interesting in his remarks and is
one of the living witnesses to the
practicability of Red river naviga-
tion. He said that up the stream
as far as Preston the river is navi-
gable eight mouths out of the year,
and will be pliei by a liue of
steanagrs^within a few years. Cap-
tain Wright read the names of the
captains who formerly ran up aud
down the stream. He said that
Congressman Sheppard and his
colleagues have done much for Red
river and to them much credit is
due.
The following officers were
elected: Morris Sheppard, presi-
dent; N. H. Ragland, Paris, secre-
tary; W. A. Bills, Par is, treasurer.
Sherman was selected as the
next place of meeting, P. J. Bren-
nan of Denison placing that city
in nomination.
Yesterday afternoon the conven-
tion listened to an address by Mrs.
Louella Styles Vincent of Dallas,
representing the National Federa
tion of Women’s Clubs, on the con-
servation of the waterways and
forests. Congressman Cravens of
Arkansas made a talk on why the
government improves the water-
ways. Committees on member-
ship, resolutions, levees, good
roads, a committee to recommend
a plan for putting line of steam
boats on the river, a committee on
the Red river and Sulphur canal
and another on forestry for the
headwaters of Red river were ap
pointed.
At the session last night Con
gressmeu liandell and Sheppard
spoke on the importance aud ad
vantages of Red river navigation
in order to secure a cheaper com-
mercial rate and urged the neces-
sity of the business men of the sec-
tion to be benefited by it making
active exertion and to make a
proper showing before congress in
order to secure adequate appro-
priations. Following the addresses
tbc'delegatos were entertained with
a lunch and smoker at the Elks’
Hall.
